Review
of Lost Pines BBQ (Giddings, TX)
We’d reviewed City
Market in Giddings twice before, and been unimpressed both times. However,
since I was heading down to Pearland to visit friends, it seemed like a good
time to take a look at one of their other option: Lost Pines BBQ.
Lost Pines is
located along 290 in Giddings, and is typical counter service BBQ. They offer
the typical 1-3 meat plates as well as meat by the pound. I’ll be trying moist
brisket, sausage, turkey, and pork ribs.
Turkey: The turkey is tender, but is a touch
dry in some places. There’s a heavy smoke flavor (a plus), but a hint of a
metallic after taste (a minus). Overall let’s call it 5.0/10,
Brisket: The brisket is moist and tender.
However, it doesn’t have a lot of bark. There’s a touch of heat, but I can’t
taste anything that is causing it. In fact, other than the heat it doesn’t have
much flavor at all. Again, call it 5.0/10.
Pork Ribs: Reasonably tender and juicy, but not
much crust. Yet again, there’s a touch of heat but not much other flavor.
5.0/10.
Sausage: They have an all-beef sausage that has
a nice snap in the casing and is reasonably tender. There’s some heat (sounding
familiar), but not much other flavor. 5.0/10.
I find Lost Pines
very interesting. Usually when you are noticing some heat, you either are
tasting something that is causing it (cayenne, jalapeno, etc.), or you can
taste other spices that may be masking the source of the heat, but you taste
SOMETHING. In the case of three of the four items I tried, there wasn’t really
much noticeable flavor at all (even smoke) other than the base taste of the
meat and the heat, which saved it from being unacceptable.
Is it worth a visit?
Everything earns a minimal passing grade. It’s an OK place for lunch.
Is it worth a trip? Nope.

This place doesn’t have any 'i'm too cool and busy for you' wait staff. As per me, everyone at venues in San Francisco is nice, friendly, and helpful and they really seem to like their jobs there and that is important to me. We had an awesome experience here.
