The food was delicious, the owner and staff were friendly and sociable, and the portions are huge (warning... You'll go home with extras). The beans are fantastic and the cornbread is the best I've ever had. My husband even said the chicken fried steak is at the top of his best list. We'll be back the next camping trip.
I ate there twice during my stay at Choke Canyon State Park . The first time I stopped in for barbecue because I was on my way to another barbecue joint and this one was closer. The barbecue was OK. It didn't seem like it came off the grill. It was almost as if someone had cooked it up earlier and was storing it in an oven. The beans and potato salad were very good. I went back two days later on my way to the Salsa Fest. This time I had a bacon cheeseburger. It was awesome, which is why I still give this place 5 stars. I haven't had a burger that good in a long time. The service was really good. The servers make you feel at home. There's something about the atmosphere that I really liked. I will be back whenever I go to Choke Canyon State Park again. But, for me it will be a burger joint- not a place to eat barbecue. Oh, I forgot, I want to try that awesome looking pecan pie next time, too.
Try the chicken fried steak!!! The small fills the plate. Eat the large only if you are a teenager or want a LOT of leftovers.
Gr8 food gr8 place to eat in three rivers just wish it was open for dinner
I will never drive through three rivers again without stoping at Sowells BBQ, excellent food.
The cheese enchiladas, and the barbecue stuffed baked potatoes are simply the best!!!! Everything is good here! Love it!
If you missed lunch Sowel's BBQ today you lost out! Just almost finished the Turkey Club Sandwich! The best club I have EVER HAD! Melting cheese, bacon grilled turkey & greens, AWSOME!
Amazing BBQ & Amazing People!
I was asked by my boss (at the last minute on my drive in from Pleasanton) to order food for 40+ people on a big BP frac job. I called Sowell's and spoke with Sierra and told her my situation and told her my budget and she told me she would call me right back with a quote. Not 5 minutes later, Sierra called me back and told me that she could fill my order and have it ready in less than a hour. Needless to say all of the food was gone in even less time and everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the BBQ. Thank you Sierra for making me the hero of the day. Cannot recommend Sowell's BBQ enough!!!!!!
Ya"ll! This Texas BBQ spot is One of the Best! Everything was so good! From the Chicken to the Thick cut fries! We came in an hour before closing time, and we were super happy we were served right away. We travel through here a lot, but hadn't really stopped anywhere to eat here in a very long time. We were very impressed with everything! We'll definitely be coming back again! IG: Chica_Foodie
1st time there. Traveled from McAllen just to check it out. Great burgers, pork ribs were cold. In my opinion, they were under cooked. It’s a nice clean place. The service was good. We will return to try out the BBQ Brisket….
IMPRESSED, is the first word too come to mind. We got here late in the evening so there wasn't much BBQ left. However, we noticed a sign on the front door advertising a Doritos Casserole... naturally we had to try it (I was with two colleagues). Doritos with Enchilada sauce and Ground Beef...two sides (Beans & Corn or Rice). I am always down to try something different and I am glad I did. The Doritos Casserole is where it's at (Deliciousness). Real hole in the wall joint with good food. Rumor has it their burgers are pretty awesome as well. Saw a sign about Homemade Biscuits & Sausage Gravy as well as Texas sized pancakes. If I didn't live 90 minutes away I would be there for breakfast. If you are in 3 Rivers...I would say try it.
