★★★★★ 5.0 Robert Wyssbrod · Oct 2025

The friendly staff welcomes you in with a smile and the incredible aroma of smoked meat. Michael was friendly and explained all the menu options to us. The food was incredible ! I had the brisket and turkey. Can’t wait to come back!

Great bbq and the beans were amazing! Got one of the beef ribs and definitely was worth it. The sausage was great and the brisket was so juicy. A great spot to try if you are in the area!

Me and my family came during a time we most restaurants were closed, and they served us with a lot of kindness and intentionality. To follow the wonderful customer service the food was also delightful and I loved how they had barbecue sauce ready for us to use at Will :) Not to mention, this is probably one of the best banana puddings I’ve ever had. It doesn’t taste like fake banana bananas, and the cream is nice and thick with a touch of cinnamon.

This place is delicious!! I got the Brisket Bowl and it was absolutely amazing! Brisket, sausage, beans, Fritos, and cheese…a perfect combination. The homemade ranch and banana pudding were to die for!! The stuff was super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The close when the food runs out so better go for lunch or an early dinner, it’s worth it.

BEST BBQ IN WACO - WORTH THE DRIVE. (There is plenty of indoor seating.) Red Wagon is just a little past Homestead Heritage and has everything a great BBQ joint should have. The owner, Michael, is excited to greet his customers after spending all day making tender and flavor- infused meats. The sides are on-point. It’s obvious everything is scratch made since each side is like its own flavor bomb. The mac and cheese is made with real cheese. The beans are by far the best pinto beans I’ve had in years. The coleslaw is crisp with hints of cilantro and without globs of mayo. The coleslaw is made with dill and pairs well with the salty, savory meats. And, the banana pudding is made with real whipped cream. The hospitality is so good that you’ll not want to leave!
