I stopped by Guess Family Barbeque a little after 11:00 a.m. on the morning of Sunday, December 5, 2021.  The parking lot was already filling up when I arrived and I counted over twenty patrons inside the restaurant.  I was not impressed with the physical facility.  There was no outside seating, and the overall impression I had was of an older, well-worn cafeteria.  I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich to eat for lunch, and a half pound each of brisket, ribs, and cheese sausage to take home for Dorothy and I to test, which we did on Tuesday, December 7, 2021.  Dorothy liked this barbeque better than I did.  She liked the flavor of the ribs and of the sauce.  I found the ribs a little tough, and the brisket was not really super tender.  I did like the sausage, and my link had an ample amount of tasty cheese.  In fairness, the fact that we tasted this barbeque after two days on ice probably had a detrimental effect.  But when I ate the sliced brisket sandwich on the day of purchase, I was not that impressed.  For one thing, there was not a lot of brisket on the sandwich, and it was sliced thin.  Bottom line, it was serviceable barbeque, but nothing extraordinary —  it would not be my first choice for barbeque while in Waco.  Here area few photos.
