Really good bbq and turkey and the sides are good as well. And very friendly staff very clean truck stop

3 meat combo add drink $26. Dine in.The sliced brisket was sliced with the grain from the point. I couldnt eat it. When I took it back and explained that they sliced it wrong.I was told that it was because their brisket is so tender that was the only way. I explained that the point of the brisket should be used for chopped not sliced. The flat of the brisket should be used for sliced. They said nothing and offered no remedy. I left it there not to return.The restaurants grease trap runs over and into the parking lot and pools in truck parking.....filthy.

I love the breakfast burritos! Especially with brisket, but it’s hit or miss every morning whether the service is good or terrible. One time there was a two person team of ladies that were super fast and amazingly helpful. Every other time the cashier doesn’t care and purposely left out my salsa. I saw her look in the bag and she gave me a smirk, which was odd, but I assumed that the salsa was there. By the time I get to work I realize there was no salsa which is one of my favorite parts. I think she’s a manager or lead kitchen staff in the morning but many cashiers constantly have an attitude for no reason. I love the food but can’t stand the staff most of the time.

Absolutely delicious you can pick your sides with the brisket meal. Sides like mash potatoes, mac and cheese, corn bread, veggies. This was a hot meal that was desperately needed on the road. You can take it to go.

Loved it here, had to stop there again. Nice clean beautiful decor and excellent food

Im from Atlanta and I had a delivery in Dallas, TX. I stop to get something to eat and I must say the food, staff and atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you for making my experience so wonderful. You guys ROCK. 2 thumbs up. Take care and God bless.

Cant beat the best BBQ tasting.. one of my favorite is seasonal potatoes delicious along with macaroni and cheese hmm. My favorite to eat number 1# stop as Im traveling in Texas that cannot be beaten.

Best Brisket I have ever had. Great truck stop you dont want to miss!

Delicious brisket sandwiches. Customer service was top notch. I spoke with Shay and she was so kind and willing to help you any way she could. Thank you for making our experience a pleasant one !

Meat was good except for the bones in my chicken sandwich. Employees were more concerned with voicing how understaffed they are than actually taking care of the customer. One guy was standing around after taking orders while one guy was making all the sandwiches. I understand him standing around if there were more people in line and he had to take more orders, but I was last in line and stood for almost 15 mins while one guy was making all the sandwiches.

Great place. Fresh pastry and fresh jerky and even fresh PB&J sandwiches and a lot more than I can mention everything made fresh and in house, Amier was super friendly and helpful. Everything you wanted a bonified one stop shop.Did I mention the fresh dessert selection, just look at my pics.You have got to try the BBQ second to none. Thanks for the great place see yall soon

Only in Texas will you find a Texas Smokehouse and truck stop in one building! Limited parking in back for semis. 4 diesel w/def fuel aisle. Nice inside! Bathrooms needed to be cleaned.

The employees talk to each other and paid little attention to us. As we ordered breakfast and then I ask if I could get a breakfast toast. They gave me a funny look. But I would think they would have better customer service skills but i guess not.

Great selection of food and drink! The cashiers were also super friendly

Delicious!!! EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS 😋I had the 2 meat meal with 2 sidesBrisket, spicy sausage, fried okra and broccoli cheese rice... yummy in my tummy!!!!My husband had the 1/2lb brisket sandwich and he loved every single bit of it 👏🏼We will definitely visit again

BBQ was good, order 1 meat add a rib for $1but at register charged 2 meats plus $1. more meat then I wanted, but it was very good

Trying some bbq in Texas is a must for visitors.. The state of Texas has some of the best bbq in the United States, if not the world.. This Texas Best Smokehouse is about average.. The food is ok, but I cant say its the best in the whole state.. Several options are available to fit your hunger needs..The restaurant has a great set-up for the family, and that Texas traditional vibe.. If the food quality was just alittle better(tastier), maybe this would be Texas Best Smokehouse.. The ambience makes this a cool place to stop by.. Bathrooms are pretty clean, and kept up.. Overall I think its worth your time for a visit..

Love the food always good hot and delicious. We eat here a lot sometimes we do take out instead of dine in. Clean place and friendly people.

Awesome place with clean bathrooms and good food

Great food great atmosphere barbecue was right on the spot and dont forget for dessert fried pie

Very big place elegant,and good food little expensive and for the trucker not too many spot.

There service was great there food even thou it was almost closing time tasted and look so fresh and they was so kind and look happy to serve me even thou it was Easter and they could of choose to stay home but they choose to come serve people

It was pretty darn good, it was my first experience wirh Texas BBQ and fried pies. Growing up in Kansas City it was weird eating BBQ without sauce but the ribs were delicious. I had a peach fried pie and it was delicious. The staff was very hospitable and kind as well.

Nice place, clean restroom and great customer service

I absolutely love their chopped beef sandwiches! They always have a variety of sides to choose from and Ive not ordered anything that I wasnt pleased with. The only suggestion I could make, and this had nothing to do with the taste of the food, instead of taking sausage patties and breaking them in half for the breakfast burritos, scramble some up so you can line it out and have a little bit in every bite and not most of the burrito with everything but meat! But I love thos restaurant.

Amazing Taxan BBQ and the best fried potatoes cubes Ive ever had.

Great tasting BBQ. A little pricey but worth it. This is a travel center/truck stop limited truck parking that fills up fast. The staff is “Texas” friendly and makes you feel welcome. Clean restrooms, there is also a Sonic inside. Overall a fun little stop. One of my favorites

Be very careful just had lunch here, I had the baby back ribs and Mac and cheese with some bake beans and corn and a dinner roll with someone hair wrap around one end of the dinner roll the ribs was dry enough to choke a goat never again will I spend forty seven dollars like that again

Pulled pork and bbq here is good. I really like their greens as well. Kind of a big place in a gas station, but it doesnt taste like cheap, gas station food.

Fried pies!!! Yum. I bought 3 dozen for my family. The sweet cook (Cristina) custom made 4 of them for me. Omg. Amazing!

Employees in the hot food where they sale the burritos and gorditas never pay attention to what you say to them always ignoring the customer and their always talking among themselves and ask them something and ignore you.

Great place to take a break from traveling.

Im an over the road trucker from Ft Worth. I thought the food was OK and wanted to make this a regular stop. I bought 45.00 worth of food but was double billed. I have texted screen shots to the manager. Its taken a week and multiple.phone calls only to be promised a call from the GM, Amir. He still hasnt called me or refunded my money. At this point Im doubting if I ever want to stop here againUPDATE. He called back later than same day promising to follow up the next morning and make it right. His promise to call me back and his commitment to correct this were both lies. I change my rating to ZERO

Outstanding service! Outstanding food. Vinny took my order and prepared the food. He has a positive and great attitude. An exceptional young man. Exactly what I needed after a day on the road, and exactly what everyone needs during these times. You guys should promote him. Thanks Vinny. Ill be dropping in to see you eveytime Im in the area.

Would be nice if I could depend on them opening on time. 07:15, still not open, nothing and nobody on theserving line. Lights stillout. Im a truck driver and regular customer, cant wait around. Not the first time either.

Officially the food was excellent I had a two meat with sliced brisket and sausage. The only problem was that most places I have been to the brisket is sliced cross grain,Here they have shredded brisket instead of sliced, I guess you have to request cross-grain.

I stopped by wanting some BBQ and got the 2 meat plate with chicken and sausage and not only was it $20 with a tea but the chicken was so dry they don’t make enough BBQ sauce to help it! Luckily the sausage was edible but my 2 sides went in the trash along with the chicken! Never again!

Awesome place to sit & eat in a very Homey, comfortable & very inviting rustic Smokehouse/Truck stop!!!

If you want to spend $9 on a meal and not smile afterwards, go somewhere else. If you dont mind spending a little more for something that puts a smile on your face, I recommend you treat yourself to a meal here. I spent $18.62 on just myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I will stop again sometime. :-) *update* I had the spaghetti chicken special tonight and it was delicious and under $10 total! Try it on Sunday or Tuesday with a roll or cornbread and 2 sides with a drink! Recommended. :-)

Single plate will be enough to get you lunch and dinner, place is clean and perfect to eat what every you desire. Big Foot Out

Little pricey on everything especially that fried pies and chocolate but have several variety coffee drinks on top of different foods to choose from

Nice place things to look at

BEST BAR B Q EVER. THANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE. I LOVE TEXAS.

This place will hurt you. Flippin awesome barbecue we will no doubt become regulars at this place.

Awesome food!!! Excellent customer service. Clean facilities

The food is great, no doubt, but the service is slow and you often stand in line 10 to 15 minutes just to find out they’re sold out of the food you wanna order. This place needs to get some signs up to list what they sold out of so you don’t waste your time. They also scrape off all the exterior fat and seasoning rub of the brisket, So it’s often and dry and flavorless

Worst place I ever worked.Amir and his management has their picks.The food was ok but not great.They need to learn how to cut brisket.Its cross cut and chopped.

Best jalapeno sausage Ive ever had. Overall the food was amazing and good atmosphere for being in a gas station!

One stop for all and trucking parking in the back which was awesome! The food was good I got the ribs mashed potatoes and broccoli casserole. The smoked ribs were delicious! I loved the women restroom nice and clean. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

LOVE their beef jerky that the sell at the counter!! Nice that they will let you sample before you buy!!!I have also had their egg salad sandwich which was very tasty and a ham sandwich and chopped beef that were really good too.The staff has always been friendly and helpful when I have had any questions!I love this place!!!

Was out of town our bus took a quick stop here got our food it was great but seems like you guys need more staffing it was just two ladies there Blondie was just at check out the whole time could’ve been helping the other gal going crazy

Most of the time I’d give it 5 stars, but tonight I walked in at 9:30, they close at 10. All they had was lasagna, sausage, and chicken. All the sides were put up. Why be open if you’re not serving the menu? Close at 9:30 if that’s when you guys wanna put food up!

Walked in and right back out...price gauging truck drivers.

I love this place excellent brisket.

Tambi, Basil & Kyle do a great job at all of their locations... It just doesnt get any better than this.... Great Atmosphere, upbeat, clean restrooms, great food, and great people.......Tyler & Longview, and Texarkana is coming soon......

Real roadside smokehouse inside Shell not that fake rub stuff THE NAME SAYS IT ALL THE BEST SMOKEHOUSE IN TEXAS and honestly in the whole country

Delicious food ham, pulled pork, and sausage were amazing and the smell from the smoker ohhhhh yes

Amazing Staff & food! Thank you Texas!

Terrible service, rude staff. I simply asked what type of meat do you have and the young man pointed to the menu and said its right there. After all day of driving the last thing I needed was a smart mouth.

Excellent quick breakfast. Home cooked. Great prices. Very friendly staff. Brisket on their burrito was amazing.

Really great place to eat. Friendly staff clean restrooms.

Been going there for couple months new kid as cashier wearing a hat backwardsWorst cashier ever not polite in anyway ill make sure I dont pay for my stuff with him again ( note he works on store side not the food )

Im not even going to attempt to put into words just how incredible this brisket is! The first bite almost brought me to tears. Ive never had anything even close. Those who rated 1 star clearly dont have souls. Thank you to the morning crew, yall were as beautiful and kind as the brisket tasted.

Where to begin with this place. First time I ever stopped, I thought the lovely smoke smell was gonna carry me away. The beef jerky is the best. If you arent sure you will like it, they will let you try it. And I have yet to be disappointed. Lots of little places inside whether you want lunch or just want something for dessert. Friendly staff always. If Im traveling through, I always make a point to stop.

I did not try the BBQ. So this is about the other food and items. This place is very expensive. Kind of a typical tourist trap. So bring a bucket of cash when you come in, you will need it.

The staff was professional and friendly! They were kind, helpful, and good conversationalists. My kiddo ordered mac n cheese (it looks amazing), roasted potatoes, and blackberry cobbler. She is chowing down. She says the potatoes are amazing!I always enjoy shopping here even though Im a local.

It is nothing to awesome about this place. But fast food BBQ food that they sell to the traveling person. If anything they should take pride into this food and make it tasteful so folks who stop by to eat this food can leave with a great taste of East Texas. But it is average food. Could use improvement. Prices as well are little to much, the BBQ joint down the road that is ranked #4 in the state, their prices are much more better.

Exit 596.. Longview. We found this great place to stop while traveling HWY 20. On the W bound side. Very clean gas station, convenience store, gift shop, fried pies and other desserts, Sonic and the Texas Best Smokehouse- Smoked meats and fixings. I was very impressed with the large portion of succulent, smoked chopped pork. Sides were fresh and delicious. I got the slaw and the broccoli salad. But it was a tough decision because everything looked so delicious and fresh. The bathrooms were beautiful and spotless. Each stall had a hand sanitizer dispenser. Soap dispensers at the sinks were full also. Hand sanitizer at every register also on the convenience store side. A sink basin with soap and paper towels on the restaurant side by the coffee station. The sauce bar has the bbq sauce to satisfy whether you want smoky sweet or smoky and 🥵 hot!

Great ribs and sausage

Being a truck stop food snob, I was totally impressed with this great little find. Absolutely delicious BBQ. The ribs were so tender that they fell off the bone and were perfectly seasoned on the outside. They had the perfect fat to meat ratio for fantastic flavor. The sausage sandwich was also delicious. We had the regular sausage and it had a wonderful spice to it. A little BBQ sauce was all you needed. Id plan to eat here again for sure!

I had a 2 meat combo and it was quite good. The sides were fresh, looked and tasted good too. Id eat here often if I lived here.

A bit more money, but way better food than most other truck stops. A big favorite of experienced commercial drivers and locals alike.

Must stop if youre traveling through. Nice big and clean. Restrooms are top of line. Food and snack choices for everyone. Yummy treats and food at the smokehouse was top notch. Plus they were open on Christmas which was a life saver for us. Thank you guys

Ive been here 2 times 2 years apart. Both times were excellent. The BBQ great, sauce great and the service is exceptional. I believe he is the manager/owner there but you can tell he loves his job. I distinctly remember his from the first time 2 years ago. The last time my wife and I got the loaded baked potato. Definitely recommend.

Clean, lots of selection, neat items

Food was ok.... it was overcooked and pretty tasteless but couldve been worse. The prices are a few bucks above reasonable for this quality of food.

Horrible customer service. There are other places where I can spend my $15 on a plate of food and feel appreciated. This truly is the place where customer service means absolutely not a thing. This is at the Longview location.

I love this place. My family always makes a point to stop here in our trips to Dallas. There is always so much to look at and interesting things to buy. They have a wonderful bakery and smokehouse that serves chopped beef sandwiches and other smoked goods. They also sell a variety of jerky. Make sure to stop in and visit their Where are you from? World Map and put a pin in your home town.

Great Texas BBQ conveniently located right next to an I-20 exit. The value for the money is unbelievable, I had plenty to eat for about $20.The ribs were moist and yet melting tender and the smoked ham is just delicious. They lost 1 star when they chopped the brisket instead of slicing it, next time I will try is sliced and give them all them 5 stars

More like Texas Driest Chicken, I can only imagine the BBQ

We LOVE this place! My sister told us about it. She stops every time shes passing through. Now we stop in every time too. Clean, friendly, great food and unique gifts to choose from. But be warned, youll be there longer than you thought you were. Time flies when youre having fun. :-)

Great food. First time being in Texas. The jerky they sell here is absolutely amazing. Good prices on everything. Just wish the fried pie stand was open.... really wanted to sample that...

They say everything is bigger in Texas and that is true here. The portions are larger than normal. I ordered the rib eye and it was really good. Frys werent that bad either . I would recommend this place. 10/10

If you are looking for a one stop shop this is your place. Grab something to eat, pick up a souvenir, and fuel before hitting the road again. Just looking at all that there is to offer will give you enough time to stretch your legs. Lol

Very excellent food. You get your moneys worth. The ribs were amazing. I couldnt even pick them up. They were fall off the bone good. Im wanting to make a 200 mile drive just to eat there again. Its that good

Their food is decent, service is usually good too

This was an amazing gas station! Quite the respite after hours of driving and driving and driving and...you get the point. We didnt get any barbeque, but the sandwiches they made there were fantastic! My wife said it made her happy being there.

Just had the special; it was delicious! Beef tips and rice, my two sides, squash and turnip greens and cornbread! I love the fried pies. Very friendly service!

I was pretty disappointed with the quality of food here. I ordered a biscuit with eggs and one choice of meat. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich with eggs, meat and cheese on toast. I ordered grits and breakfast potatoes. I am pretty accepting when it comes to food but this was probably the worse I’ve experienced. Everything tasted old and the potatoes were rock hard. I do not recommend this place for breakfast.

Brisket was super tender as was pulled pork. BBQ beans were great just the right kick. Their potato salad was delicious just like home made if mama could cook.

We were road tripping back and stopped for a coffee and potty break. Skipped coffee. Smelling that BBQ got the whole gang hungry so we stayed for a dinner of real food. Everything was excellent including chopped beef, ribs, pork sandwich, fried okra, Mac n cheese, fruit cocktail and friend pecan pie. So glad we found this place. I’ll add this to our favorites when we pass this way again. Get the bbq.

BBQ was good, but be sure you want your veggies southern style (with pepper sauce cooked in them) before you order a plate lunch.There is a sign posted over the register, that says We sell Coke here. They dont. To get Coke, you must buy your drink at the Sonic, to the left in this food court.Sorry guys, but I take my Coke very seriously and certain places I dont go because they think Pepsi is equal to Coke.To them I say Monopoly money ok with you?.

They have a great selection of side and the ones that we tried are wonderful!

Super nice, clean place to stop and get a bite to eat, grab snack food from store or for a bathroom break. They also have gift items in the store. The food that is there is barbecue and a Sonic. I have never eaten the barbecue but have heard positive comments from friends who have stopped and eaten here. We grabbed some Sonic food last trip through and all was good. The store also has some of the fancier chocolate, great selection of jerky, fried pies and your standard convenience store type items. I drive I-20 a good bit between Texas and Louisiana and this stop is one of my favorites because I know there will be clean restrooms that I dont have to wait in a long line for and a nice environment to take a break at. Overall, it is by far one of the nicer places you can stop at as you travel through Longview on I-20.

Parking lot is very bright at night. Very safe! The food (bbq) is amazing. Prices are high but worthy of the portion sizes!

I agree it is a nice place to stop but I do have a few complaints. The bathrooms are usually dirty and smell terrible. The staff is always friendly but the food is mediocre and over priced. Well actually everything there seems over priced. I work In the area and stop quite regularly so I hope someone actually reads this and takes a look at my remarks. Those of us who try to live a healthier life style would also appreciate a more friendly, low carb choice.J/S...

First time being there..i love it..GREAT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Whenever my family and I travel back to Texas, we will definitely stop by again..The butcher was great and the cashier Alicia was perfect. She explained the prices, she was very patient with us.

Omg the food is soo delicious & they give good portions also. Truck parking out back but fills up quickly, fuel also... Treat yourself you deserve it... I got the half rack of baby back with two sides and sweet tea, I ate there and still had some to take home with a full stomach. Had to take a nap after.. :), friendly service, check out different samples.

Total Disapointment. Brisket was so dry it fell apart when the guy picked it up to slice it. Why bother bro? Just pull off a chunk. Pulled pork was a little better, but it had very little flavor and it wasnt smoke.False advertising. Texas B̶e̶s̶t̶ Smokehose. Best, Totally subjective!
