One of the hidden treasures of Texas Barbecue in Gillespie County.
Located in Fredericksburg Texas, on the far west end of Main Street. The perfect size bbq joint. Order at the cutting board what you want by the pound, slice, link, pint or quart. Bbq has mild smoky flavors from the mesquite wood sourced from one county over in Hays. Brisket is the King of Texas bbq and Eaker’s brisket did not disappoint. They are currently using Prime Akaushi, an extremely high grade of beef. The brisket was a great balance of seasoning and light smoke with distinct mesquite flavor. Both styles of pork ribs are great. I like the traditional one the best, but the gochujang rib was a very tasty treat. The sausage was simply fantastic - the snap, texture,casing, balance of salt and seasoning.
The turkey was flavorful and juicy. My favorite side was the slaw - very well crafted. Kimchi fried rice was one of my other favorites. It has the authentic Korean flavor with a solid sesame oil hint. On the daily special, Korean fried chicken sandwich was a delight with a perfectly fried chicken breast richly flavored sweet and house made pickle to cut the sweetness and balance every bite. I can’t wait to come back again. Wait in the line was not bad - about a 4 minute wait from the door. Remember to be patient. It’s a small town and extra staffing for weekends is not really an option . Please don’t miss this great small town business where one of the owners is always present. The nice lady behind the counter is Boo and her husband is Lance. Chat them up! They will make you feel like a regular with true Texas hospitality.

Excellent brisket! Creative sides (fabulous kimchi fried rice), lots of rib and sausage options. This is the real deal. Highly recommended, get there before they run out.

Sesame seeds aside, which I wish they were, the gochujang ribs are the bomb. Subtly smoked, moister than a good cupcake. And you want to talk about fall off the bone. Mess around and find out. Delicious. Couldn't have done better myself.

Not the greatest place to eat. Food was cold, bland, macaroni and cheese dry and rubbery. Not to many side options. And I don't want to mention the price!Not the best experience in town 😕

Sliced Brisket Ribs and Potato Salad
Eaker is a true BBQ gem of the Texas Hill Country. They serve quality BBQ with a Korean flair that we love. Their specials are not to be missed especially the pork belly burnt ends and Texas Twinkies. One thing that really surprised us is their mac n cheese, probably the best we've ever had at a BBQ joint. Definitely worth a trip out to Fredericksburg for this place.
