If you get anywhere near the vicinity of Ferrell’s Pit in Mission, Texas, the aroma will lure you inside.
And even if you weren’t hungry before, you’ll find yourself ordering smoked brisket, barbecued pork ribs, or one of the other delectable Ferrell’s specialties, such as Polish sausage or barbecued chicken. Everything is cooked over mesquite on the pit out back.
Ferrell’s also serves Mexican food, and except for the tortillas, it is all homemade.
