"True Texas smoked fall off the bone ribs and moist delicious brisket. Sweet southern service in a local no frills atmosphere. I highly recommend you give them a try. We are visiting family in the area and plan to come again before we leave."

"This was the first time I have purchased anything from this little picnic style restaurant ... I just loved it .. Them two girls , sorry I don't know their names , backup ... Im sure one of them is Lindsay.... Goes without saying ,are two of the hardest working girls and keep that cool hut going... The food was great, and my fave was seeing the older Gen just pile up in there for lunch and great conversation ... That's how it should be everywhere... I live in Porter, near Conroe and it used to be that way till tablets and video games came along and corrupted our town ... Don't let the technology damage your great lil town ... Keep it old skool , that's keeping it real ... See y'all soon ...."

"Everything was great on our 2meat choice plate. The brisket, the pork chop, the pinto beans, and potato salad were all delicious. Topped it off with the pecan pie bar for dessert. Thankful for this little bbq spot on this empty road, would definitely recommend making this a stop if you live in the area or passing through. Service was great, lady was polite and attentive. Went back to tip her."

"I have wanted to stop and try this restaurant and this week while headed to Houston I finally stopped and purchased a chopped beef sandwich to go. I really enjoyed the sandwich. The meat was tender and had great flavor. Now I want to dine in and try more they have to offer."

"Nice unassuming side of the highway restaurant. Dine in, carry out/call in-clean, polite and attentive staff. There are additional items in the back of the restaurant for purchase (pickled vegs, salsa, honey, jams/preserves) reasonably priced. The fried basket was… ok. Fresh and unique taste but not my personal preference. Standard husbpuppies, (no added corn or peppers), shrimps were HUGE; fantastic quantity and quality for the price. Also had a brisket grilled cheese-very delicious, came with two slices of cheese and a container of BBQ sauce. (Some pepper jack cheese option would be great but understand that may not be available) All in all, great place-I’d heard great things about it. Can attest to it being home made home style fresh cooking. I would personally probably not visit again but it’s certainly worth the experience and may end up being someone’s favorite off the wall spot as it’s very well known locally."

"Lindsey's Lazy "L" BBQ 12157 US Highway 69 S, Alto, Tx 75925 working in Lufkin I finally decided to stop in for a slice Brisket sandwich and we loved it, very moist great flavor, we will have to stop in for the next time, great place very pleased with prices it took a bit to get our sandwich to go and we were the only ones in the place I think they had a few call in orders they were working on but we will see next time we stop in if it improves. We drive thru here every Sunday and I wish they were open"

"Don't let the outside deter you. Excellent bbq (we had sliced brisket and pork chop), good sides (cole slaw and pintos) clean, Texas decor. Friendly service. It was $16.00 for the plate that we split and it was enough for both of us."
