Ok. BBQ in Gilmer is on point. Perfect Texas BBQ…read more BBQ so good you appreciate the value and the privilege to have it. The fact that they have $20 racks of pork ribs togo, "sold cold n ready to go" on the weekends is epic. As a patron of Hutchins in McKinney when I lived there I can tell you that Rust has better ribs and brisket. It is consistently on point. My only spank on em is that their coleslaw needs salt. I get it. I order the coleslaw side... They make it ready as a menu ingredient, adding it to sammiches and dropping chopped meats on a boat of it etc. It compliments the meats as a party in the mouth full. As a side I add salt and pepper to it. I like their sammiches. "The sibling" I recommend, and all the brisket and ribs.

Are you kidding me?? What will you think of next? It is soooooo tasty!!! I take my meat away and eat it at home pretty often, but Rust is in fact a great place to meet a friend for lunch, sit on the picnic tables and enjoy yourself. Sometimes the line goes out the door, but it moves along and is worth the wait. Go try Rust! P.S. Try a "Home wrecker".

Literally the worst BBQ I've ever had. Will I get sick, probably not. But I couldn't eat more than…read morea couple bites. Also, in my opinion microwaves have no place in commercial kitchens. I saw food being warmed/prepped in a microwave. I'm not sure how this place has ever gotten to 4+ stars. The dining room looks like a garage sale, the piano is for sale, other items are for sale scattered throughout. The young guy at the front was nice and tried to be accommodating, he offered me a drink while I waited, but that alone doesn't save this visit.

The bad: my mom didn't catch that they charged her for three mugs. She got two mugs and two stickers. The price of the extra mug was way more than the stickers. She paid cash and we were not driving hour back. They are chatty which is not bad just make sure you are charged correct.

The person behind the counter had asked me for my drivers license " I have to scan it " is what she said, BTW, I am 61 years old. Rules are rules,so I go out get my license and return. While in line ,I noticed an another man buying beer, a different counter person glances at his I.d. ,doesn't scan it and finishes the transaction. I hand my license to the boy behind the counter, he glances hands it back, I asked " why didn't you scan the last person or mine,he scoffs. That they made me, a 61 year old,to go out in the 105f weather to get my license when they barely looked at it. The counter person became rude and scoffed at me when I walked away he began to laugh , no one else was around at this point. I asked his name, 3 xs, finally he said "Mario". Black hair (possibly dyed), tattoo on his chest with a star sticker on his forehead. Around 20 yeats old. RUDE, and the brisket was mediocre at best. Not going to spend any more of my money here.

The only thing I ever have is the chopped beef sandwich with tons of their delicious sauce. Yum. Portions are always generous. This was a favorite of my Mom's before she passed.

The customer service was great, friendly, and fast. I also really liked the restaurant layout, with both indoor and outdoor seating that makes it a comfortable spot to hang out.

The service was helpful, I'm gluten free and was coming back from visiting a small town nearby…read morewhich didn't have any options and saw this place on my Yelp and decided to give it a try. Their meat was tender and juicy, the sausages are made in house, and they make them gluten free so that was a pleasant surprise. The outdoor area is very nicely laid out, it has a stage for bands that come and play. I will say the pricing is a little insane. $6 for a singular sausage link is pretty pricy. We ended up spending $65 in total after tipping the staff. I would come back if I was in the area and needed a meal that I knew was safe for my allergy. The barbecue sauce was also gluten free!

They have two different kinds of sauce, ("If it's good bbq, you don't need sauce") I don't care for either of them so it's a good thing their bbq is good. We mostly stick to the brisket and ribs but we've had the pulled pork as well and it's good. Haven't found a bad side yet and we've tried a lot of them. They always have peach and/or blackberry cobbler and it looks amazing but I do not like either of those. However on Sunday they have apple cobbler and it is just as amazing as it looked. They have the old fashioned long hallway walk to the ordering section that I haven't really seen since I was a kid. It brings back a lot of memories for me. They have a decent sized dining area, and a huge dance area in the back that has a full service bar and picnic tables set up for eating. We normally go into the music hall to eat and don't eat in the dining area. There's a big stage and they have live music and free dance lessons once a week.

The ambience of the place is really nice and with live music on Saturdays I'm sure the place is hopping. However, I honestly feel that the food is overrated. There are other highly rated BBQ places in Lindale that I preferred to eat at but they are only opened on Saturdays or days we weren't in town for. I imagine they are preferred more by locals simply because of the quality of food cooked on fewer days opened.
