TJ’s Famous Texas Hots

I wanted to check out Tom’s Texas Hots because i had never been there, so i went and while it still said Tom’s Texas Hots in some spots, in other places it said TJ’s Famous Texas Hots, so instead of posting this under Tom’s i’m going to start a new page for TJ’s because it’s a new owner in the same space. i’ve never had tom’s before so i can’t say if the food is the same, but the food i got was good enough. the Texas hots were decent, the chilli sauce is pretty good but the hot dog itself was nothing special, just a typical small ball park style hot dog, but i’m ok with that because they are only charging $ 2.50 per order. the chopped steak burger is worth checking out too, the meat seems to be pretty good quality and there’s a lot of meat on it, but i wasn’t a fan of the bread they used for it. the fries here are just ok, i dunno if i’d feel the need to order them again, they aren’t super thin but they aren’t super thick either. the outsides get done before the insides do, it’s hard to eat them without a condiment. i tried the BBQ sauces they have out too. the root beer sauce is pretty thin and the root beer flavor is really up front. it was good as a dipping sauce but on a sandwich i feel it would probably be a bit too sweet. they have another BBQ sauce there too, it was a bit on the darker side and i think i liked it better, it tasted like there was a bunch of steak sauce in it, both sauces were pretty unique.
the inside is nice for a burger and dog joint but it is kinda small so it can fill up quick, and when it does the kitchen seems to get a little flustered and unorganized, so be prepared to deal with that. they are also out of stock of certain items at times, which can be disappointing. another thing i noticed is that behind the building theres a sign that says «TJ’s BBQ» and then there’s 3 or 4 grills that are covered up. i dunno if any of these are actual smokers but it would be really cool if they did do smoked BBQ in the spring, i’ll have to keep an eye out for that
