    Great BBQ & Big Pet Friendly Patio

    The patio was quite large, had plenty of seating and was completely covered. Our pup & I shared the turkey. It was some of the best BBQ turkey I’ve had and we’re from Texas. It was juicy & their BBQ sauce was delicious. Our puppy had her own order of sausage & gave it a big paws up. My friend had the ribs and said they were good as well. I had to try the lemon buttermilk pie & it was quite delicious as well. Would definitely go back again. The staff was friendly and helpful answering all my questions.

    Amazing food and service

    Our pup and we had a delicious meal tonight at Serious Texas Bar-B-Q. We are actually from Texas and can attest that the food here is just as good as anything we’ve had back home. The sweet ladies behind the counter were beyond kind. They even gave us a big packet of “dog scraps” (ends, fat…) for our girl! There is a large patio with lots of space for people and dogs. Definitely a dog friendly place!

    Excellent Dog and People Experience

    Visited this restaurant on the recommendation of the nearby Hampton Inn staff; we had just come in from a multi-day backpacking trip. We were tired (in a good way), a little trail dusty (you think?), thirsty, and ravenous. Serious had tables up on a hill, properly distanced, but also inside in an enclosed patio. We took the latter during the evening of our visit, and the latter for lunch the next day. If the enclosed patio is a normal offering, then Serious is one of the few places which is "all weather", and that is really impressive. For food: it's a barbecue place. We took the platter (twice). Max, my Airedale, got most of the sliced turkey which he enjoyed; I taste tested it and also approved. The brisket was to die for. The sausage was excellent. My bother got away with most of the ribs. The pulled pork was a little dry; probably not quite to the standard of the other fare. For lunch the next day (it was a simple walk from the Hampton so we didn't bother looking for another dog-friendly place), we had sandwiches which were excellent; Max had the pulled pork stuffed potato -- he liked the pork and left the potato. Sad. Sides were ok: chipotle coleslaw wasn't really all the spicy, cheesy spuds were kind of dry, pinto beans (lunch) were excellent. The organized response to the pandemic was quite excellent, moving people through, providing food at the order point efficiently and expeditiously. Staff were gracious and responsive. The only additions I would suggest for Serious: provide a small dog menu (a place I visited in Alexandria Virginia did this; really innovative) and water bowls -- though they did provide wide mouth styrofoam cup so the bowl issue is really minor. Overall, good food, plentiful food, dog friendly and possibly all weather dog friendly, gracious staff, and an excellent experience.
