I've never written a review before but knew I wanted to for this place! You drive through a garden/landscaping center up to a building called "The Shed" and walk in to a room filled with plants and miscellaneous gardening trinkets. When you eat - your table is by a set of sunny windows with little plants on the windowsills. The food was excellent - my fiancé said it was the best brisket he had ever had and I had the pulled pork sandwich which was excellent. I had never wanted to eat coleslaw before coming here but tried the side and finished the whole thing. The owner and his wife were wonderful. Service was quick, friendly, and personable. This place needs more attention!! We were visiting from a state 14 hours away and I'm tempted to make the drive again one day to see how this place has grown in a few years.

Absolutely Mouthwatering BBQ Experience! My visit to John Boy's Texas BBQ at the Eagles Landing Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. The drive out of town was totally worth it once we indulged in their brisket sandwich, brisket nachos, and pulled pork nachos. Each bite was an explosion of flavors, perfectly complemented by the rich smoke-infused essence in every meaty morsel. The nachos were generously loaded with toppings, including delightful chunks of avocado and fresh cilantro, adding a refreshing twist to the savory delight. The texture and flavor of the meats were impeccable, leaving us craving more with every bite. If you're searching for authentic Texas BBQ with a touch of perfection, look no further than John Boy's. An absolute gem that Custer is lucky to have! Cheers to unforgettable BBQ moments!

Really good food! The pork tacos were so good my kids had to have seconds. When you pull up the building says the nest so we got a little confused but it's the right place and absolutely worth stopping for. Was sad we didn't get to try the texas twinkies but their pulled pork was so so good!!

Nestled in the heart of Custer, South Dakota, John Boy's Texas BBQ LLC is a barbecue haven where authentic Texas flavors meet a unique, garden-like ambiance. Located at 25086 Shamrock Rd, this spot invites you to dine in "The Shed," a rustic setting surrounded by plants and gardening trinkets, creating a warm, homey atmosphere that perfectly complements their smoky, slow-cooked menu.

The true stars here are the Texas Twinkies, the juicy Brisket Plate—offered both sliced and chopped—and the hearty Brisket Sandwich Meal. Each dish showcases rich, mesquite-smoked meats that melt in your mouth. The brisket, often hailed as the best by visitors, carries a deep, robust flavor with a perfect balance of tenderness and smoky char that resonates long after the last bite. The pulled pork is equally impressive, tender and bursting with flavor that pairs beautifully with the surprisingly addictive coleslaw and the family-recipe potato salad.

What sets John Boy’s apart is not just the food but the entire experience. Sitting by sunny windows with little plants on the windowsills adds an unexpected freshness to this BBQ destination. Reviews consistently praise the friendly, personable service from Tayler and the team, making every visit feel like a gathering at a friend’s place. Whether you're craving ribs that effortlessly fall off the bone or nachos topped with fresh avocado and cilantro, the offerings here bring layers of flavor and comfort to the table.

For anyone searching for genuine Texas BBQ with a rustic charm and heartfelt hospitality, John Boy’s Texas BBQ LLC delivers with every smoky, flavorful bite. A bit of a drive for some, yet undeniably worth every mile—a true gem in Black Hills dining.
