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.

I almost don't know what to say. Our expectations for this place were so overblown--recommended by…read morea friend whose food knowledge is now questionable. While I wish immediately to have some good things to say, I am shocked by the massive perception of reviewers that quantity is everything. The burgers are massive, indeed; we were unable to finish the smallest version. On the good side, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the meat patty was large, of good quality and hand formed. The vegetables on the burger were fine, but the condiments were slathered on so excessively that the veggies slid off onto the plate. When a meat patty is this large, it is impossible to grill it in such a way that it can form the crust needed (the Maillard effect). The breathtaking misdeed, however, was to serve frozen onion rings that were, basically, inedible. I do wish them well, and I would encourage reviewers to consider aspects of a restaurant beyond the size of servings.

She paid cash and we were not driving hour back. They are chatty which is not bad just make sure you are charged correct.

From the moment I walked in, they made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Roy was attentive and professional, making sure everything was running smoothly and that we had everything we needed and offer great recommendations . Jasmine brought such a warm and friendly energy.

Was driving my rig through, headed to Phoenix AZ for a stop and remembered there was a Texas…read moreSmokehouse within the vicinity on one of my previous trips. Found it at exit 572 i20 freeway. Long story short this place has everything you want except maybe Beef Ribs. The sides were awesome, I picked up some roasted squash and roasted potatoes. Very good. And went with a 3 meat plate 25.99. With Taxes and everything the tab came out to about 29.00+. Not bad, considering something like this out in Los Angeles would probably set you back close to 40.00. The baby back ribs were tender and retained most of its moisture, AAA. Brisket was alright, dries out really easily, preferred even thinner cut, but had a decent fat to lean meat marbling. Last meat option, I went with Spicy Sausages. It was infused with cheddar, and in all honesty, probably should have went with a slice of ham or pulled pork. Overall a pretty decent place for meat lovers. Raw onions and BBQ sauce are AYCE. This be my third time ordering here over the past 2 years driving cross country. Overall a solid stop for a fast casual eatery with Southern flare. Shout-out to the young Southern gentleman with the slick back haircut serving everyone. Very well mannered, super polite, courteous, professional, and charismatic. Excellent crew.

It had Fritos on top, chili, cheese, the burger and mustard. (I held the onions.) It was one of the best if not the best chili burgers I've ever had. The fries were very good, but the onion rings were fantastic. I'd definitely get a side of them with every meal here. Service was good and fast, and the venue was clean. Overall, I had a great experience and if I ever happen to be back in Lindale, I'll have to stop back in and try the rest of the menu.

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.
