Every now and then, I do enjoy a little
splurge and treat myself to something that doesn’t qualify as a ‘cheap
eat.’ I’ve been to Hill Country four
times over the last two years with friends and family and decided I’d like to
highlight my favorite parts of my visit.
Like I said, even though Hill Country isn’t
cheap, if you’re careful you can walk out of there without unloading too much
weight from your wallet. For example,
the meat combo titled the Pit Master, which consists of ¼ lb. of lean brisket,
one pork spare rib, one beef rib, a quarter chicken, and any two good eatin
(large) sides. Even though the meal
ticket claims this is a meal for one, this $25.00 combo can feed two.
If you’re not up for a combo, you can order
their various meats by the pound. This
raises an important question: which meats are worth their weight in yumminess? I’ll give you a breakdown of the selections
found in the Pit Master. Both the pork
and the beef ribs were tasty, but considering the price per pound, you’re
paying for a significant amount of bone.
However, the two meats that really blew me away were the brisket and
barbecue chicken. When given the choice
of white or dark meat, I usually opt for the juicier, less healthy, dark
meat. That’s not necessary here. The white meat is plump, juicy, with a
delicious cooked-on barbecue coating.
But my favorite of all favorite meats was
the brisket. It did not need any
seasoning or sauce – it is simply that good on its own. I would still visit Hill Country as often as
I do if the only two menu items were brisket and ice water – the brisket is
just that good. Did I mention the
brisket is good?
