Dannys Smokehouse Bar-B-Q - (Near Athens, TX)

1 /5 Josh Baker: We came around 6pm, and the meat tasted old and dry, despite it being "wet brisket". The restaurant looked really dirty, the devilled eggs didnt taste good and the fried ocra had a lingering flavor of old fryer oil. Overall it was a really bad experience. I respect everyone elses reviews, we may have come at a bad time, but like.. it was not good..

4 /5 Cynthia R: Our plan was to make out own BBQ for Labor Day but time slipped away from us. It was too late to cook and local restaurants were already closed. Google SHOWED a couple places open but they weren’t so when I called “Danny’s” I didn’t expect any answer but a friendly voice answered the call and took our order over the phone! We weren’t sure if we could get enough food for our big family of 10 on such short notice but we absolutely did! Everyone was happily surprised of how delicious the brisket, ribs and sausage tasted! The baked beans were so good, it was hard not to get 2nds! The potato salad and green beans fell a little short on taste but for last minute requests, it was just fine! The okra was perfect and my son, who doesn’t usually eat okra, had a second serving. I do have to say, everything is made in house and I was SUPER IMPRESSED with the desserts on hand. They looked fresh and moist so I had to buy the PEACH COBBLER! I do believe that aside from the meat, this was the family favorite! I bought a half cobbler and all that was left was a very small serving! Which my husband finished the next day!!! The guys in the kitchen were working hard and it definitely showed. I wish I could give 1/2 stars bc as a family we agreed the food was 4.5 stars! Thankfully Danny’s BBQ was open bc if not the BBQ craving would have been highly disappointed with Ham and Cheese sandwiches!! I highly recommend this BBQ spot next time you are in the Athens area!

1 /5 Lois Lane: This place has clearly changed hands and we are not being told something. Ice machine is still broke, I see from a review left 2 wks ago. Horrible food handling, one glove on and one glove off. BBQ sauce was cold and not enough. Thank goodness I didnt want sides bc they appeared to be left from lunchtime. I ate sausage so it wasnt terrible. Will someone please report where Danny went?!

5 /5 Josh: I grew up in a small town and was looking for a local small town atmosphere with good ole fashioned BBQ. Dannys didnt disappoint. Good food, home-town feel. Ill be back -Josh McQueen
