"Whoa, here Tis," says the sign at Hammond's
Bar-B-Q. And, indeed, here it is. Tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone
tender ribs, and slightly spicy sausage, all served up in a genuine
barbecue joint atmosphere, complete with a sawdust-covered floor. We enjoyed plates of thinly sliced brisket and spicy
ribs, plus a sausage sandwich. Unlike central Texas hot links, the
sausage here is fat 'n sassy, a much larger concoction than many
joints serve. Hammond's promises "country cooking all the way."
Check out that promise with the mustard-based potato salad or finely
chopped coleslaw. The plates are served with a molcajete of barbecue
sauce and that Lone Star favorite, Texas toast. These fat slabs
of white bread are tossed in the pit for a few minutes, a fine complement
to any meal and good enough to eat like cake. Hammond's doesn't serve alcoholic beverages during the annual run of "The Promise." This religious drama plays in Glen Rose every fall and summer and draws crowds from around the South. When the production ceases, you can buy beer in a tin building next door called the "Galvanized Palace" and carry your beverage into the restaurant. Location:
