Bray's Smokehouse

We stopped here for a late lunch - 3 pm on a Tuesday. We were heading home from an RV trip to the Valley, so we were towing our fifth-wheel. The huge parking lot made it a convenient and easy stop. We were the only customers there when we arrived. Our server greeted us promptly and took excellent care of us. We both ordered the two meat plate. I got pork spare ribs and sliced brisket with grilled asparagus and cream corn. My husband got double brisket with borracho beans and potato salad. Both meals were served with delicious fresh jalapeno cornbread, sliced pickles and onion. The table had two bottles of house-made sauce: original and sweet heat. Although the sweet heat wasn't spicy, it was so good! The brisket was lean (without being dry) and quite tasty and the ribs were tender and flavorful. The taste of the beans was perfect, but they could have been a little warmer. The grilled asparagus was nicely seasoned and cooked just right. The corn and potato salad were okay, but not anything to brag about. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

If you say only one sentence to share my experience here, I'd say the owner really loves and know how to BBQ and make sure all the foodies enjoy here The chili is beyond my expectation in terms of the amount of the meats inside. All four of us enjoy it, including my 9 month old. The portion provided here for each dish is so generous. Very high Quality/Price Ration to dine here and great for any occasion.

Stopped in for lunch before heading to the Rattlesnake Roundup in Freer later in the evening. Glad I did they brew their own beer here which is AWESOME🍺. Got the pulled pork and onion rings on the Smokehouse Salad and it was great with my flight of beers 🍻. Definitely will stop again when I’m in the area ✌️

Would have loved to give a 5 star, but I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich with a link of sausage on the side but got chopped brisket with sausage in the sandwich. I like the hoagie bread used for the sandwich, and brisket had good flavor, but because chopped, it was a little dry. Sausage was really good, and macaroni was also creamy and good. Sweet tea could have used more sugar as it wasn't really sweet, but overall, I would return to try different items. Staff was friendly, and service was fast and there is plenty of seating.

Great food with great prices. I had sliced brisket and pulled pork with sides green beans and baked potato. She had the smokehouse salad with two types of meat. The beer flight (3 beers) was very nice. The chips and salsa were good, but we didn't eat much of it since there was so much food. We were very hungry, and this really hit the spot.
