Loved my time at Bar-A. The place is so new but the food is incredibly good. It blows my mind that you can go there right now and not have to wait more than 15 minutes to get one of the best briskets, ribs and sausage I've had in my life.
I remember sitting in the dining room on Thursday afternoon feeling melancholic because I knew that the next time I came, we wouldn't be messing around in the back kitchen because the dining room was empty at 1pm. The people are too good, their story is too good, and the food is just way to good to not have a line out the door until sell out. This is probably what Daniel Vaughn felt like after he tried Goldee's for the first time hahaha
I'll never forget the hospitality and just overall great time I had with Cooper, Shelby, Caleb and everyone at Bar-A. I'm telling you next texas BBQ crawl you do, add BAR-A to your list, you won't regret it!
If you enjoyed the video give it a like and share it with your friends/family. It helps the video perform better so I can make more of these documentary style videos for y'all.
Im from South Africa. I have a passion for bbq! I try my best to do my humble version of bbq but my ultimate dream is to come to Texas and work/shadow in a bbq joint. I also love Texas Monthly mag!
Fantastic Doc - The quality of the video - shot selection - editing were all very compelling. Keep up the great storytelling.
We are spoiled having them out here. I don’t miss the lines coming from Austin.
A+
Thank you for showcasing Bar A
🤔 interesting
Bro, for a moment I thought I was watching a Eater/Munchies/WhateverFoodProDocumentaryChannel you can think of, for real, the quality of this video is out of the charts, Keep up the good work!
thank you, man!
I was thinking the same thing. Great job Ant
Yep, Ant did his thang! 👏🏽
looks like action bronson in the thumbnail
Completely agreed! Literally jumped from one of their videos. Very impressive ant
I like how the dude keeps it real about the fact that there are days where nobody comes to your restaurant resulting in depressing times. Not many restaurant owners talk about this part of the industry.
I agree, I sell bbq at local farmer’s markets and events. Definitely tough days mixed in when you are ready to sell and no one shows up.
I can't believe there's any other kinds of days. Would you eat food out of an oven that looked like that? Why do BBQ places think it's just totally normal to cook food on filthy, rusting equipment?
I agree. Same when he mentions he that it's technically expensive. He seems well connected to reality, respect the customers and seems to be enjoying what he is doing
@@ev6558 Rusting on the outside doesnt mean anything about the interior. You try keeping a smoker totally clean in Texas humidity and heat.
The heat and smoke will do a lot for sterilizing the inside of a smoker, and any decent BBQ joint is cleaning the inside of their smokers on a regular basis. Theyre always going to look black/dark inside, no way to change that without replacing the smoker.
No lie. There are definitely days where it's a ghost town... and I find myself at the shelter giving the food away.
The quality of these mini documentaries are phenomenal. Great job Ant keep it up!
thank you!
You took the words out of my mouth. Truly great documentary.
wtf ive watched a few of these and only just now looked at the subs, I coulda sworn this was one of those 1M+ documentary channels
I’ve been friends with Caleb since we were about 11 and it’s so great to see him and his family’s success with Bar-A. It’s also fun to see him being just as goofy in front of the camera as he is around us
Where y'all from. I grew up off 2854
That is “REAL TALK” MY GUY! I appreciate those kind words about your friend 💯
I moved to Texas in 2007, and I love it here. I’ve put probably 10,000-15,000 miles on my truck just traveling for bbq. Now I added Bar A to my must try in the next month. These dudes and gal seem like people you have to meet
I met some of the guys from Bar-A last month at the Goldee's class...they were all very humble and really nice guys. It's so awesome to see their success through passionately serving people with great BBQ. I live in socal, however they will be on my list when I make it back to Texas. Thank you Ant for exposing a great story!
Man, I almost went to that class but canceled last minute! That's awesome that you got to meet them! Def go visit them in Montgomery, I'm telling you it's insane that they have no long lines for the quality of food they're putting out!
Is Goldee’s worth it? I live in DFW and I’ve been itchin’ to get out there. I wanna go to Bar-A but Conroe is a bit of a hike.
@@kingdancekiller it’s definitely worth it! It was the best I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back, and gladly wait in line.
@@AVsBBQ TY! I will definitely go! What’s a good time to show up? Sorry for all the questions btw.
Stopped by this weekend for the first time, nicest people ever! Cooper made sure every customer was happy with their purchase and his dad was out front handing out free beer while you waited in line. Top quality meats and sides, Stop by and support this family!
This BBQ family makes me want to do a road trip. Amazing group of people with a true heart. Thank you for this documentary.
Bro the editing in this is great, it’s like a legit Doc. Respect, I know how much effort goes into a video like this and just capturing what you want to be seen how you see it, Kudos.
Thank you! Trying to get better everytime! Always learning and trying new things with these :)
My family and I landed here by accident, and Texas Monthly was so right about this spot. It is absolutely at the top of my list. Beef rib, brisket, and sausage were all something of dreams. Between this spot and Tejas Barbecue in Tomball, this area has barbecue covered for us.
The food here is incredible. We stopped there while going through tx and I was so impressed. They gave us free cookies for the kids and came outside to hang out. Great food, great people!
this is the type of guy who was made to cook Texas bbq. he’s exactly where he should be it’s awesome
The pace and editing of these videos is phenomenal. Great story telling.
Awesome to see Cooper doing so well. It's even better to see how much he appreciates his coworkers.
oh and the video is great too
First, amazing style of documentary/filming
Secondly, you can just tell this family loves having this business
Lastly, when he said “people will forget what you sold them but they wont forget how you made them feel” i felt that & hope nothing but great things for the business and their fam
Man you deserve so many more subscribers, legit some of my favorite food content anywhere. Love your passion and keeping the focus on the people doing cool shit
Thanks so much! These types of comments make all the work worth it!
Watching these well-produced BBQ profiles is incredible! Thanks to the film crews and BBQ joints for letting everyone see into this world. So cool!
Amazing documentary. Love these and your film work is spot on. I hope all these places with this love get the success they deserve. So many good people and cooks out there.
Thank you! That's the hope to let people know about these amazing places :)
Genuinely made me happy seeing this video. Warms my heart seeing them have such passion and care for eachother.
I live 50 miles away taking wife and kids there before the holidays looks amazing
I cried through the whole video. So cool to see the family work together. The guy with all his tattoos and his cross around his neck, and his smile. Wifey and baby in the kitchen. I love when you see people that love making other people happy in life. I am sure our family will meet them we live a few miles away in Montgomery County.
Damn right....8:20 mark says it all
Like I always say, and I always tell my children ..... it does not matter what is on the grill...but who is in the chair!
Keep The Smoke Rolling and Continue Making Happy Bellies!!
i took a brisket class at Goldees and the guys from Bar - A were there as well. seemed like nice guys - ill have to come down to the restaurant next time im in Texas.
I was at that class!
Killer Video Ant! Love the Bar-A story, and your docs are among my favorite things on youtube. I accidentally stumbled on them via IG a few months ago and their stuff always looks killer. I’ve been drooling and wanting to visit ever since.
Ant, you did it again. Thank you for the incredible work.
Appreciate it! 🙏
This joint is impressive and you've attained a master level with your documentary video skills!
Thank you very much!
Ant, ya killed it again Brotha! Your docs really highlight the humanity of the owner and staff. That’s what sets your videos above the others. 👍👏
Definitely need to try this place. Also, the level of your production has really gotten good man. This could be on the food network imo. Great stuff
I’ve tried them all. I said it the first time I tried Bar A and I’ll say it again. There’s a new Texas BBQ King. Long live the King
Ant!! This was an awesome video!! I watched the hole thing, definitely one of the best BBQ documentaries I've seen!! Keep it up Brother!!
That was one of the best produced bbq videos I’ve ever watched! Great job!
Thanks so much!
This vdeo was very warming to listen too. The compliments you paid your team were very wholesome.
Absolutely brilliant guys. Great atmosphere, everyone is passionate and the food looks incredible.
Fantastic video with some top notch production value. Awesome story to tell and great personalities in that kitchen. Wishing them nothing but success!
Bro, the evolution of your videos has been outstanding! The content you are creating and the way you deliver it is so engaging. I really think you are onto something special and have found a great way to spread the good word of BBQ. Keep up the fantastic work and I'll be looking forward to more!
Really appreciate that! Trying to get better everytime!
Ole School, Home Grown, Family Oriented, Country Music, can't ask for anything better than that, my respects to them, they kick ass.
Great family, love them and wish them the best
Great job ! Lots of heart and soul - and tons of hard work goes into what they are doing! Great display of pride and effort ! Makes me want to take a road trip from OKC down to Montgomery TX! 👊
Yep and it shows in the food! Get over there ASAP!
Ant you tell a story in a very thoughtful way. You put way too much much work in it for it to seem so effortless. Keep up the amazing work
Food looks great, atmosphere great and the singing was simply epic. Good luck and hope it all works out.
Ant I love these long form interview/visits you have been doing. 2nd to none!
That is the best BBQ I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing they know what they are doing.
Bar-A is now on my Texas bucket list !!
I love these BBQs documentary, it's so chill, and educational.
"Dishes don't talk back" Bro protect this man and this business. Love the vibe and the food, blessings from Cali
Need that sailor moon apron frfr
This is a beautiful piece of video. Thank you.
appreciate that! thank you
Damn man thats some really good singing at 15:45, did not expect that! ✌🏻
Such a great story, Ant - and your cinematography is getting really good! I really enjoyed this one!
appreciate it, Al!
Ate here recently, and while I can’t say I’m a Texas barbecue connoisseur, I can say this is some of the best food I’ve ever had. Definitely the best barbecue I’ve ever had. I was very much looking forward to eating Texas barbecue for the first time, and after trying this, I thought, does it really get better than this? I went here knowing I’d likely be ruined for life and I’m more than ok with that. Thank you to the BAR-A-BBQ crew for doing what you do. Eating there is was an experience I will never forget. I can’t recommend this place enough.
SheeeeeeeWEEE I needed to watch this. I saved it to watch at the end of a looong 16 hour smoke (battling the elements of rain/wind/temp drop). I recently started a strictly “tx style” bbq jawn up here in Nashville called Backstage BBQ and get to run my business out of the kitchen at Dee’s Country cocktail Lounge (one of the only real Honky Tonks left in town) and since I started a couple months back…I’ve had some of the HIGHEST highs and LOOOOWEST lows, and it’s refreshing to see the vulnerability that comes along with such a risky venture. Slicing into a brisket makes it all worth while for me. Even on the bad slow days where I just wanna go home and curl up in bed. So thank you for putting that in there. These videos keep my ass goin…and one day ima get your ass up here to check it out, ant!! Thank you for the content. Keep it comin.
Good luck to you brother!
Fantastic video and exceptional editing. Thought I was watching a big budget series. Hats off, team!
Huge fan of all your videos but bro I’ve probably watched this one 100+ times. We play your videos on repeat in my bbq carryout . Make more they’re driving my wife nuts 🤣.
This has been one of my favorite Sat morning episodes of BBQ - great content.
Fantastic video ! Great to someone putting their dreams together with family by their side . Looking forward to trying it out soon gents !
Thank you, I agree I thought their story was amazing, I knew you guys would like it!
Great video!! The love they have for the food they serve is great to watch. I am going to have to make a trip out there to try it!
Sure wish I had known about these folks a month ago! Was just in Montgomery at a motorcycle training camp. What a great area and people! Next time I will definitely give Bar-A a try. Looks like great food and just as important( if not more ), great people! I was able to spend some time in Austin and had some incredible BBQ there, and in Lockhart. Central TX is truly a BBQ Mecca!
Highest quality non-media company backed videos I’ve seen. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep showing up.
Wow!!! I grew up in Montgomery and coach ab coached me in jr high and high school. Awesome to see him doing good!! Going to have to stop by on a Saturday.
Went to Bar-A this past weekend because of this video, and I can HIGHLY recommend it. Everything was amazing, but what blew my mind was the sausage...sweet baby back ribs, that sausage was incredible. The beed rib was also a mind-blower.
Staff was super friendly, place was very clean, and of course the bbq was on point.
Loved this video. Great editing and strong connection to all the people who make this place what it is. Keep up the great work!
just some country boys who appreciate hard work and the reward that comes with it
You need your own show, really! I enjoyed this very much!
Truly a great video on our TX brisket world... very nicely produced!
When the news has you down just search out places like this and itll remind you America is still great
Awesome! Best of luck to those guys with the new business and all the family working there. CLASS ACT!
This has to be my favorite brother!!! Love the heart and soul. Most importantly the ups and downsides of the business!!!!
My best one yet (I say that every new episode lol) but it's true, I learn and get better each one. And these guys had an amazing story I knew yall would love!
Even being up in MD . . . I really enjoyed watching this and will watch it again. Mouth was watering the whole time
Thought for a sec Luke Combs opened a BBQ joint
This is awesome, pure Americana, and great Texas BBQ ! 🥩🍗🍖
omg yay so happy this was posted!! since this is basically in my backyard of houston! Looking forward to seeing you feature more Houston establishments!
I want to do one at Truth! Would be sick!
Man I love this guy. I wish them nothing but the best. This is on my bucket list. save up a few thousand dollars and head down to Texas to try all of these hidden gems. Great watch!!
How did I not even REALIZE THAT IS COOPER until coach AB WALKED IN AND STARTS CLEANING DISHES 😂😂 my guy! I went to high school with this guy!!!!
''We're gonna steal the name Bar-A and name the new place Bar-A bbq, it's a big brother little brother thing'' lmao nice
I started dying when he switched up from country to hard in da paint out of all rap songs wasn’t expecting that love it
When there's no one there call your family and buddy's to form a line outside to make it seem it's happening. Lol. It works for them lunch trucks . I'm 44 and want to do something like this but it might be too late. You guys rock.
44 is still young! Go for it!
I'm 63 and want to do something like this. Great Q'mentary.
That's the best job, hanging with your buddies and make really amazing food.
What truly an awesome dream come true!! The food looks so delicious and the atmosphere appears to be loving and welcoming!!
Looks like a great place with some amazing Texas BBQ! Keep it up brothers!
That platter, with the pink burger, looks insane
“This stuff isn’t cheap, it better look damn good “ amen brother! You my good sir get it!
Wow, these just keep getting better and better! Your channel deserves way more subscribers.
As always, great video, thanks for sharing!!
dude this is so amazing im gonna litterly drive from new york and check out this place
Great vid
All the best to this team….they seem like good people.
Keep those docs coming bro! When I visit Texas next year, I’m hitting up ALL of these places!
ANT, find more of these places. They are where the real BBQer's are at. Loved this the most out of all your BBQ joint stops.
this one was special for sure!
Ant every new video is “Buckle polished!” They get better and better! Thanks for all the hard work! I see you have help now. What a dream to be able to visit all these BBQ destinations!
haha yeah Willson has been a huge help on the road. Yep I am learning a lot on these trips and more importantly meeting some incredible people with incredible stories.
Some of the best people I've met have been out in the boondocks of Texas, cooking or working all night long. Watching this reminded me of those people. Nice vid, I'll be sure to head out that way as it's not too far:)
Hey man, just wanted to drop a line to let you know that your docuseries are freakin awesome! It gives us an insight that we don't get to see everyday and its just so fascinating. I hope you keep these coming. Cheers!
Next one will be out next wednesday! Thanks for watching and supporting :)
Outstanding effort you put in your videos. Man I need to get some Texas BBQ some day.
You should! It's so good!
love these types of videos, keep it up!
Will do🙏
Awesome video!! Looks great and good luck with your future, should be an amazing journey! P.s. loved the streets of rage music in the video as well!😂
This documentary makes me want to move to Montgomery! Great work all involved..
Just subbed after 3 videos I watched. Awesome concept/content. Straightforward, intimate, and behind-the-scenes, everything covered for a foodie, chef, or a business-minded viewer, but most importantly, a regular joe schmoe that wants some entertainment. Well done.
"Dishes don't talk back" Love it
Stellar production value.
Something special is going on.
JT
Hard graft that well done for serving good food 👍🏻 I wish England had a place like this.
So glad I stopped by last summer. Epic spot.
Exceptional dude! Beautifully done and I’ve got another killer spot to add to my road trip! Keep it up man!
Thank you!
Damn it wasn't until I read comments that I realized this wasn't a major media channel. When I clicked on it I thought for sure it was some big magazine or news station. yall absolutely killed it.
