Jerry Mikeska's Barbecue of Columbus





Look at that rib!  So meaty!  That's one of the best items at Mikeska's Bar-B-Que.  If you know me, you would be surprised to find out what I liked the best. 



Jerry's place has been in business in Columbus since 1956 and on the I-10 location since 1987.  Mikeska's is located off I-10 west of Houston and east of San Antonio.  Take Exit 699.  It's on the north side of the road.



Brisket:


Lean with just enough fat for flavor.  This is good stuff.



Smoked Sausage:


I like the sausage.  Not greasy.  Many barbecue places have great meats except for the sausage.  This place has exceptional sausage as well.



Baby-Back Ribs:




Love their ribs.  Lean, meaty, and a great smoked taste.  Having great ribs in Texas is almost an entitlement.  And Jerry's ribs are up to the challenge.  See the one at the front of this post!  I always get a plate of whatever for the restaurant and a rack of ribs for home.  That way the Mikeska adventure continues.



Sandwiches:



Above is a chopped beef sandwich with their great barbecue sauce.  To the right is their sliced beef sandwich.  Look at all the slices.  Either one of these is a good pick-up for a road trip.  



The Plate:


You can get any of the above meats on a plate or a combo there of.  And they come with great sides: green beans, chopped greens, potato salad, corn, etc.  This plate is a half chicken, and would you believe it ... I like the chicken best of all.  This place really knows how to barbecue chicken: gently smoked, fully cooked, and still moist.  It doesn't get any better than that.
