Our plan was to make out own BBQ for Labor Day but time slipped away from us. It was too late to cook and local restaurants were already closed. Google SHOWED a couple places open but they weren’t so when I called “Danny’s” I didn’t expect any answer but a friendly voice answered the call and took our order over the phone! We weren’t sure if we could get enough food for our big family of 10 on such short notice but we absolutely did! Everyone was happily surprised of how delicious the brisket, ribs and sausage tasted! The baked beans were so good, it was hard not to get 2nds! The potato salad and green beans fell a little short on taste but for last minute requests, it was just fine! The okra was perfect and my son, who doesn’t usually eat okra, had a second serving. I do have to say, everything is made in house and I was SUPER IMPRESSED with the desserts on hand. They looked fresh and moist so I had to buy the PEACH COBBLER! I do believe that aside from the meat, this was the family favorite! I bought a half cobbler and all that was left was a very small serving! Which my husband finished the next day!!! The guys in the kitchen were working hard and it definitely showed. I wish I could give 1/2 stars bc as a family we agreed the food was 4.5 stars! Thankfully Danny’s BBQ was open bc if not the BBQ craving would have been highly disappointed with Ham and Cheese sandwiches!! I highly recommend this BBQ spot next time you are in the Athens area!

Driving through Athens, Texas and stopped in at Danny’s Smokehouse & BBQ for an early dinner. You order your main dish at the counter and self-serve any sides. Husband ordered a brisket sandwich and got 2 sides (green beans and pinto beans) I ordered a Frito pie otherwise known as walking tacos, and got roasted brussel sprouts and macaroni and cheese also one stuffed jalapeno. Everything is homemade including the rolls and dessert by Danny’s sister, who owns a bakery. The two workers (Danny and a young woman) were very friendly and helpful. I found the restaurant very clean and pleasantly decorated.
