Red Barn BBQ’s Catering Food Truck. D and I went to the Fort Worth Music Festival this weekend and we saw the Red Barn BBQ truck that caught our eye. It was a decent price at just $5 for a chopped beef sandwich basket with chips. The chopped beef was very moist and tender, had a great smoke flavor. You could tell they used a rub on the beef which had great flavor. Their BBQ sauce complimented it well too. Definitely hoping to try the restaurant here in North Richland Hills soon. If any of y’all have been to that location please let us know how it was! 4.1 outta 5. –A

The Red Barn Food Truck caters for their restaurant in North Richland Hills Texas. The chopped beef sandwich was good. They gave a decent amount of beef on the sandwich. The meat was very tender and had a great taste. It had a good smoke flavor and good rub tastes that didn’t overpower the beef flavor. The bbq sauce also tasted good. Can’t wait to try the actual restaurant to see if the rest of the menu tastes as good. 4.25 out of 5-D

Rahr & Sons Stormcloud. This IPA was not bad at all. Haven't had a bad beer yet with Rahr. Just the right amount of bitterness and a hint of sweetness in the hops. Easy drinking. Had a great fragrance too. 4.2 outta 5. -A

Rahr and Sons out of Fort Worth Texas. Gravel Road is a German-Style Sticke Altbier beer. It has a robust hop and malt taste. It was very refreshing and was very strong. It's Alcohol By Volume is 7.25%. alot higher than your average beer. I like the Model A car on the label. Another good beer from Rahr and Sons brewing company- Rated 4 out of 5-D

Rudy’s country store and bbq. They are based just north outside of San Antonio. Their bbq “sause” (yes that’s how they spell it) is made in New Braunfels Texas. This bbq sauce is great. The flavor is great tasting. Nice size pieces of pepper and a great smoke flavor. The sauce isn’t too thick or runny. It has a slight kick at the end. It tastes great on anything that I have tried it on(beef, pork and chicken). This is the white label bbq sauce. The other one is a yellow labeled bbq sauce called sissy sauce. The sissy sauce is way too sweet and I don’t like it. So I’d recommend you stick with the original bbq sause. I’d recommend this sauce. Ratede 4.9 out of 5-

Rudy’s Country Store and BBQ “Sause”. Rudy’s has one my all-time favorite BBQ sauce. It’s got a great flavor, with chunks of black pepper for a nice little kick. The smokey flavor is always a hit with any kind of meat. Perfect consistency. It compliments Rudy’s moist brisket. (YUMMMMM!) But stay away from the sissy sauce, there’s just something about that just doesn’t taste right, too sweet. I recommend everyone give the white label Rudy’s sauce a try if you haven’t already! 4.8-5 -A

Rudy’s Country Store and BBQ. We ate at the Arlington Texas location. As soon as we drove into the parking lot we could smell the smoke from the bbq. The brisket sandwich was good, A good amount of brisket on a bun. The brisket was tender a nd tasted great. It had a good smoke flavor and a nice peppery bark. I added some Rudys bbq “sause”. Yes that’s how they spell it. The sauce was great and added a deeper depth of flavor. You can also add onion, pickles and or jalapenos to your sandwich, I ate mine on the side. Also ordered was the potato salad. I really liked it. It tasted good and had some nice size chunks of potatoes in it. I really like Rudys BBQ. I have eaten there a number of times In Fort Worth and Austin areas and never been disappointed with the bbq. Rated 4.7 outta 5.-D

Rudy’s is one of my favorite BBQ joints. I have never been disappointed with them! Started in Leon Springs, TX and now has expanded throughout the Southwest. I also got the sliced brisket sandwich, which was great. Plain bun though, but great tasting brisket, and Rudy’s sauce is always great tasting! Very generous amount of brisket for a $4.99 sandwich. Always has a good spice rub, with a great smokey flavor. And Rudy’s potato salad is always a perfect side item with Rudy’s brisket. Some of the best potato salad from a restaurant I’ve ever had! 4.5 outta 5. -A

Blue Bell Southern Peach Cobbler. This Brenam Texas Company makes the best ice cream in the Texas. This flavor is great. I loved the Texas peaches that are generously spread through the rich creamy ice cream. It’s much like the Blackberry cobbler has nice size chunk of pastry. This is a great tasting ice cream and goes to the top of my lists of favorite flavors. So far I haven’t tasted a Blue Bell flavor I haven’t liked and suspect I won’t. Rated 4.95 out of 5-D

Blue Bell Southern Peach Cobbler. YUM! Generous chunks of delicious peaches, and an equally delicious pastry. Loved the subtle hints of cinnamon amongst the peach swirls. One of my favorites along with the Blue Bell Blackberry Cobbler. Blue Bell always does such a great job capturing the real homemade flavors into frozen goodness. I guarantee any peach and Blue Bell fan will love this ice cream! Give it a try! So good! 5 outta 5. -A

Ranch Style Beans. Owned by ConAgra foods. Based out of Dallas Texas. These ranch style beans are a good base to many types of food and are good on their own. They have a rich flavor and an average spice taste. I personally add more spices to them and drain some of the liquid. It seems recently they have added more liquid to the cans and less beans. The ranch style beans are better than average and usually sold at a cheap price. Not the best beans I have had but not the worst either. Rated 3.25 outta 5.-D
