Thomason's Barbecue

I've been coming here for about 50 years. To get the best out of your eating experience, I would suggest that you ask for your BBQ "chipped." To simply ask for BBQ will result in a rather so-so sandwich. When it's "chipped," the juice will absorb every morsel of meat like a sponge; this is especially the case with mutton. When you ask for it "chipped," you will get a sandwich with a lot of BBQ juice that will enhance the flavor enormously. (And this rule should be applied wherever mutton is sold in a BBQ restaurant.) It will probably be impossible to eat such a sloppy concoction with your hands, but you can try. Better, though, ask for a plastic knife and fork. While the BBQ is good, the brown-sugared BBQ beans sold here is the dish that has made this place's name in the world of BBQ.

Was in Hendo a couple of times in last month and ate there each time. This has always been my BBQ go to in Hendo. I think they are boiling the ribs before cooking them, they had no flavor at all. Neither of the people I ate with either time finished their food and had a similar assessment. Something has changed there, not going back.

I would give this place a second chance if I would be around Henderson and wanting some BBQ. The sauce is very runny however and I enjoy much thicker sauces. It doesn't have much spice to it. I got the sampler plate and their beans. The beans are the best part and their most popular seller. If you like baked beans then you will enjoy those here! The pulled pork was okay, but I enjoy thicker sauce personally. But if you like BBQ and supporting local people then this is a great little food spot that is hidden in Henderson.
