Had no idea it existed, until this morning. So glad we stopped in! I had the brisket sandwich, my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Cowboy beans and corn bread as sides. Holy moly, absolutely fantastic up and down! Moist, fall-apart meat with their sauce having a sweet-smokey tang with a touch of heat. The corn bread was sweet and flavorful, not dry. The cowboy beans have shredded brisket in them.. Absolutely Tremendous. Great smoke-to-sweet-to-salt ratio on everything. Corn bread crumbled over the beans is where it's at!. My only hope is that they partner with a local bakery or something for their rolls. That was the only tarnish on an otherwise FLAWLESS MEAL. Highly recommend! Best BBQ for miles! We will be going back and I plan on telling everyone I know about this place.
We arranged catering for a party of 20, and the team at Holy Que provided excellent assistance in selecting a diverse array of options tailored to our needs. Upon arrival for pickup, everything was prepared and waiting. We indulged in a feast featuring turkey, brisket, pulled pork, and nearly every enticing side from their menu. The culinary experience was a resounding success, earning unanimous praise from our group. Without a doubt, I'll be turning to Holy Que for future catering needs. The exceptional taste has also inspired me to visit the restaurant for a more extensive exploration of their menu.
I cannot speak highly enough of the food at this establishment! Everything is delicious. From the creamy mac and cheese to the savory brisquet cheesesteak, it's all top notch! The owner Tom is also arguably the kindest and most welcoming person I have ever met!
Awesome. Brisket and pulled pork melted in your mouth. Beans and Mac n cheese absolutely delicious. Great quick service too. Everything was hot. They kept the line moving quickly as you don't want your guests standing waiting for food. My mouth is watering just thinking about the brisket and pork. Use them for your next party. You can enjoy your guests.
Holy Que is a local gem putting out top-tier Central TX BBQ in Bucks County. Brisket is king and they execute theirs well. They are clearly using high-quality briskets to start, and do a great job balancing bark, smoke flavor, and fat render to achieve something truly special. Ribs and sausage were also very good and don’t sleep on those Saturday beef ribs! Haven’t had all the sides yet, because we always fill up on the Mac n’ cheese and cornbread which are both killer!
The place itself has a solid vibe - yes it is small, but there is ample seating (inside and out) and a great place to take the kiddos if you have little ones. The staff has always been A+ from front to back.
We’re thankful to have them close, but if you’re looking for some of the best BBQ around, run don’t walk!
We stumbled upon this place and we WILL be back! The pulled pork and turkey were moist and flavorful, the Mac and cheese was delightful, the cornbread was sweet, and the banana pudding was everything I wanted it to be. We are from the south and know good barbecue...and this is a gem!
Pulled pork and brisket were good! The beans were some of the best beans we’ve ever had. I really didn’t like the Mac and cheese because it tastes like it has goat cheese in it and I’m not a fan of goat cheese 🥲 but it was very creamy!
This place is amazing. I’ve had barbecue in many “famous”- Memphis, Texas, Kansas City, Oklahoma, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia etc. restaurants but Holy-Q is better than them all. Seriously.
Barbecuing is a true art and they are Master artists.
It seems expensive, but it’s really worth it and it takes a lot of time to prepare and smoke the meat.
I was never a brisket guy, but they totally change my mind.
I can’t believe they’re across the river. Order ahead of time Because they do run out. I think they’re only open A few days a week because it takes so long to prepare the meats. Cowboy baked beans also amazing.
Save some Q for me!!
We enjoyed a bit of everything: ribs, pulled pork, brisket, mac n cheese and corn bread. I loved the basic salt and pepper rub, adding their sauce as desired. (Their sauce is good with a nice little bite.) Enjoyed all the meats - ribs were a little fatty. Mac was good but sauce thin. Staff was terrific! Recommended.
Holy que is an excellent spot. Had the brisket & pulled pork. Both were fantastic! We also tried the cider slaw which was unique and very good. Not to mention, the staff was
incredibly friendly. We will be back again!
I heard about this place when it was opening and then totally forgot about it. I remembered the name and I'm so HAPPY it's just 20 or so minutes away! And for a restaurant to be able to open and survive though the pandemic is saying a lot about what lies within! I was very excited about all of the reviews I had read that I couldn't wait to taste it. The reviews and photos can't give you any sense of the atmosphere, (even though I did take out) of the music you hear walking to the door, and the incredible smell! I had a hard time on my drive home because I couldn't wait to dig in! I got a 3 meat plate with cider slaw - ribs, pulled pork and turkey. (My husband got turkey and brisket with beans and slaw.)I didn't even touch the sauce! The slaw was perfect, light and not too sweet. I always read reviews, but don't take the time much to write them myself, so I'm always very grateful for those what do. I called first, got all of my questions answered and ordered online. I have health issues, so I was very happy that the very upbeat employee said that they don't wear masks. I have yet to dine in anywhere since prior to 2020 - not even outdoors. That's the only comment I would make is to update the health and safety section on the website and in the question section. But I did call and say I had health issues and dietary questions and she was very upfront which I appreciated. I wore my N95 mask and it wasn't crowded when I picked up my food. I'm also gluten free and grain free, so my side options are limited, but with the slaw and the meat and the pickled red onion which no one even talks about - I was more than happy - even if I can't eat the Mac and cheese, cornbread, etc. The red onion goes so well with any bite of meat - it's incredible! I wish I had more! I highly recommend (I've already shared with friends and family)! And perhaps when the weather warms up some, we will dine outdoors. But I will definitely return before then!
Stopped in on a whim today and so glad we did! Everything was delicious! I really enjoyed the pulled pork, mac n cheese, apple slaw, and corn bread. Did the $75 meal for the 4 of us and we all left more than satisfied. The fire pits outside are a great touch and everyone was friendly. Definitely plan on returning!
Awesome meal! Really enjoyed everything I tried - I recommend getting the brisket cheesesteak… sandwich is out of this world!
Okay, I'm a believer :-)
I've been wanting to try Holy Que Smokehouse ever since it opened and finally got out here. It was worth the wait! I got a two item lunch with pulled pork, pork ribs and mac and cheese.
The pulled pork was the smokiest, juiciest and probably most delicious pulled pork I've had. It's so refreshing to have it cooked properly because I've had too much dry pulled pork. I cook a lot myself and I'm not going to pay good money for barbecue unless it's actually better than what I make at home. But this pulled pork definitely qualified.
The ribs were also very good. The meat still had a good texture and the bite of smoke while retaining juiciness. It's often very hard to find juicy pork ribs because too many places overcook them.
The mac and cheese is creamy and delicious. I know some people like drier mac and cheese, but I like mine loaded with cheese and creamy. This fits the bill :-)
All in all, I think Holy Que Smokehouse is a great addition to the culinary scene in this area. Definitely worth a taste.
Was our last hope to be able find something to eat without waiting for over an hour like the rest of peddler village restaurants.
Got here and I think we were more so happy with our visit to this place, no lines and the food was phenomenal tasty.
Happy customers here
Tom’s place is the best. We drive an hour to eat here and it’s always worth the drive. The brisket cheesesteak is what dreams are made of. You need to eat here! GET THE BANANA PUDDING!!!!
If I could give a 6-star rating I would. This place is so simple - they smoke a ton of meat, and sell it until it’s all gone. It’s not the fanciest looking place, the outdoor seating is simple and basic. But you don’t go for the comfort or the view…the food is absolutely amazing. Especially the brisket, my oh my oh my, why haven’t I been here before!? Go eat here immediately.
Such delicious food, I will definitely be back again. Both the turkey and the brisket were so flavorful and juicy, easily some of the best BBQ around. The staff was so nice and the owner took the time to stop by every table to make sure everything turned out well. The only negative thing was they ran out of cornbread, but that just gives me an excuse to come back for more. Great food, great atmosphere, and such a nice owner!
