The young man working that day was super helpful and made our visit even better. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating. They also have a great selection of meats, but I definitely recommend getting there early because some meats do sell out fast, which happened to us with a couple of the meats we originally wanted to try. We ended up ordering the ribs, pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, baked beans, mac and cheese. For dessert we ordered a tub of banana pudding. Everything was delicious yum! We always enjoy coming to Spirit of Texas and will definitely keep coming back!

This was my second time trying this place. The first time, I ordered through Uber Eats and the food…read morewas good. I had asked for cornbread, but they told me they couldn't add it through Uber Eats, so it wasn't included. That was understandable, and I had assumed it was free because of some older menu photos on Yelp. Since I enjoyed the food, I decided to come back and order in person to avoid miscommunication. One thing I will mention is that they didn't include BBQ sauce on the side when I ordered via Uber Eats. If you're ordering a brisket sandwich, the sauce that's already on it isn't really enough. Today, I specifically asked to buy two pieces of cornbread because that was what I was really looking forward to. By the time I got home, I ate my sandwich and found a piece of hair in it. Not ideal, but mistakes happen. Then I went to get my cornbread and realized it wasn't in the bag at all. I had specifically asked for it, and I don't know whether I was charged for it because I didn't ask for a receipt since I paid by card. The workers were very friendly, and the food itself has been good except for the hair in my sandwich and today's Mac and cheese was very salt Overall my experience was pretty disappointing because again I did not get the corn bread I specifically came for and the hair in my food and the Mac and cheese was so salty I didn't even eat it. Last time I ordered the Mac and cheese was so good but not today

For example, the food presented in the picture (3 pork belly squares, 1 slice of brisket, and a small side of mac n cheese) was THIRTY-SIX DOLLARS and then they will still direct you to the machine to answer "a quick question." I'm not quite sure what justifies these prices but what I can say is- it is very good food.

I've always enjoyed coming here for BBQ, but today's experience was disappointing. The customer…read moreservice really needs improvement. There were only about five customers in line, yet the service was extremely slow. I placed my order for meat and then waited to move down the line, but ended up standing there for over 20 minutes just to pay. There were only three customers ahead of me, and the staff seemed disorganized and overwhelmed--mainly due to a single to-go order. Meanwhile, everyone else's food was just sitting there getting cold. The customer in front of me even left to use the restroom and came back to more waiting, which says a lot about the delay. What made it more frustrating was seeing the to-go order continue adding items while several of us were stuck waiting just to check out. At that point, it felt like enough was enough. I would strongly suggest having one dedicated cashier and another person serving. It's not a good look for a restaurant running a hot line to struggle with just five customers. Hopefully this was just an off day, because I've had good experiences here before--but today definitely missed the mark.

I was greeted by Eileen, who took the time to walk me through everything being served. No rushing. No pressure. Real customer service. I ordered the rib tips, chopped brisket sandwich, mac and cheese, and coleslaw. I was unsure about the mac and cheese, and instead of letting me gamble my money, Eileen insisted I try it first. That alone says a lot. She genuinely cared about my experience. I'm from Texas, and I do not play about BBQ. My standards are high. Every single item exceeded my expectations. The flavor, the tenderness, the balance--on point. Eileen checked on me consistently without being overbearing and made sure I was happy with everything. The food was great, but her service took it to another level. This place is officially going into my monthly budget. Thank you, Spirit of Texas, for giving me a real taste of back home--and thank you, Eileen, for delivering one of the best dining experiences I've had. Highly recommend.

When I found myself in the middle of nowhere up in the Palmdale area, this little food truck was pulled up next to one of the more popular breweries in town. I was hungry and had no time to assess, so my partner and I got brisket and a loaded (VERY loaded!) potato. Y'all. It was like I was back in Texas! I was so happy and cleaned my plate. California is NOT known for BBQ. It's like they never think to season their meat before cooking, and end up just slathering it with sugary sauce. Not Best BBQ, they TRULY live up to the name! The brisket was juicy, flavorful, and the sauce was an enhancement rather than a coverup. That potato was absurd--not only was it huge and had the regular fixins, but also included mac and cheese and bbq brisket! A true must-try. I wish they hadn't been out of the pulled pork, as I know it would have been just as good. DEFINITELY worth a visit! They park out behind Lucky Luke's certain days of the week. Not sure if they have other locations but time your trip and pair the amazing BBQ with Luke's just as amazing beer.

The staff told us Tuesdays are usually busy, but because of Memorial Day weekend, most of their rush came earlier in the weekend, so tonight was nice, chill, and relaxed. Love the huge open windows and bar set up. We ordered the brisket, Sy Louis pork ribs, chicken wings, blue masa cornbread, mac & cheese, and finished dinner with the apple cheddar pie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The brisket was tender, smoky, and practically melted in your mouth. The chicken wings were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The ribs were smoky with just the right touch of sweetness. But the real standout for me was the blue masa cornbread -- absolutely incredible. And the apple cheddar pie was the perfect ending to dinner. The balance of sweet and savory flavors paired so beautifully together. 10/10 -- we'll definitely be back again!

You walk inside to order and it is not a fancy looking place, but the people cooking the meat definitely know what they're doing!! It felt like an authentic Texas bbq spot. I didn't want the frills, I just wanted good food and that's what I got. I sat at a little table outside which was perfectly pleasant! The road wasn't too loud or anything. But really, the sandwich was SO good. I doused it in the spicy bbq and added the pickles and coleslaw and I ate the WHOLE thing. I shouldn't have. But it was great!! I want to come back and try their other bbq meats and sides!! I loved the pulled pork sandwich and would recommend sharing it if you do order it. Yum!! The service was great, too!!

The accurate rain forecast changed our Sunday adventuring plans, but considering the food we were…read moregoing to get into, BBQ felt like a sensible substitute. We hadn't visited since February, 2020. Before the pandemic might as well have been 10 years ago, if the world shut down 6 years ago. We were overdue for a followup visit. Judging by how the food went down, we were sore for it. We ordered the Big Tex: four meats and four sides - tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork and links; kale greens, bbq beans, mac and cheese and fries. We opted for the cornbread in the roll slot. It should be the top meats in your order, by premium scale and availability, but more often than they should be, the brisket/tri-tip selections are, 90%, obligatory orders. I think I have a love/hate relationship with the way LA treats the pepperoni pizza of bbq meats. Swinging Door broke us off proper though. Not too fatty. Great tenderism. And the accompanying sauce complemented the smoked all stars, rather than compensated for lack of flavor. Didn't stop me from loving their Whiskey bbq sauce though. The beans were a true bbq side, swimming in a mild sauce and containing lovely chunks of link. And the kale greens - sheesh - I think they might've switched to kale since our first visit. An effective exercise in alternative ruffage that holds seasoning and jucies for a similar bbq/soulfoud bite. We live further away now. Took the food to go, to prevent the intermittent rain from foiling more of our plans. It traveled well. And since I'm using our leftover bbq sauce on every other meal I cook, I'd say we successfully made do with our lunch substitute.

First the restaurant is extremely clean and welcoming. The interior is really nice. The bar and patio are beautiful. The whole place felt welcoming. The staff provided amazing service. Our waiter was Dillon or Dylan. Sorry if I spelled it incorrectly. He was great and gave us some great recommendations. Even when the shift changes were happening the bar tender came by and said bye as well and wished us a great day. It was a small but nice touch and great customer service. Now what we're all really here for the food and drinks. Drink wise we tried the blood orange paloma, a margarita, and some beers which were all delicious and cold. For the food we started with the brisket fries which were savory and delicious. The fries were thin and crispy which is just the way I like them. We also got the All Da Smoke platter which had chicken, brisket, pulled pork, and pork ribs. It came with 3 sides so we got the corn bread with honey butter, corn, and mac and cheese. Everything was perfectly seasoned and tender. We enjoyed every bite we had. Also one of the best Mac N Cheese I have had in a while to be honest. Overall the food, drinks, staff, and ambiance were a perfect 10 out of 10 for me. I can't wait to come back and eat here again. Thank you Dylan and Mule Car Smokehouse for the delicious food and hospitality.
