    What a sad disappointment. We've been looking forward to trying this place and tonight was the night. We walk in and the only menu is taped to the counter in front of the order window - not a single price on it. I ordered the sliced brisket plate with Parmesan potatoes and Cowboy beans and my wife had the rib plate with french fries and Cowboy beans. By the way, they don't have potato salad. When we picked up our order it consisted of two (yes two) slices of dry brisket and there were three small ribs on the other plate. I made sure to include photos. The brisket was very dry and tasteless as were the ribs. Neither of us cared for the Parmesan potatoes. I absolutely did not like the bbq sauce. All of this disappointment for $31. The people seem nice but this was one of our worse experiences at a BBQ restaurant. We won't be back.

    Some actual prices for 2024. They don't seem to disclose their menu prices anywhere in writing.

    The moiste brisket seemed to have some of the flat mixed in...so some was a little denser than I like. Overall good flavor and decent smoke ring, but the fat was not well rendered in places and had an icky mouth feel. The bark was not too bad.....we live in Fort Worth and our local barbecue place is actually better and surprisingly cheaper. Speaking of that, this o the first time in my life that h have not seen any posted menu prices online or in person when ordering. Seems sketch. And the brisket as it turns out in August of 2024 will set you back 26.95 a pound. About 3 dollars a pound more expensive than Dallas Fort Worth. Just thought you should know. I will attach the receipt so at least you have a few prices and don't get blindsided. Anyway, I would say the better value is the sliced brisket sandwich which has generous amounts of brisket on a tasty bun. Okra is also good. Decent barbecue place in Emory, but quite expensive for East Texas.

    Solid brisket and beans, the jalapeño popper was great, and the cheesy Parmesan potatoes were absolutely amazing. Definitely check this place out.

    Picked up my favorite sandwich at Marshall's Barbecue on Hwy69 in Emory. The "Mailman " is loaded with beef and sausage. (No beers were harmed in the making of this review)Chopped Brisket Sandwiches

    Marshall's Barbecue Pit is the best BBQ in east Texas. We typically eat here once a week and are never disappointed. The food is great and there is even a side yard for the kids to run around and play before/after eating.

    We drove in from Rowlett with my parents and this BBQ did not disappoint. It was worth the drive. First of all, we were impressed by the large yard with tree swings and sitting areas with umbrellas. It felt like we were visiting someone's home. They let us bring our dogs inside the yard to play. And us 'humans' had fun playing corn hole. Both couples ordered the sampler platter. The portions were really generous and the flavor was great. The guys loved the ribs best. The meat just fell off the bones. I liked the brisket and turkey. We will definitely be back!

    Best bar by around!! Everything from their bar bq to their peach cobbler was absolutely amazing

    The Hoss Sandwich and baby link sausage.

    The food was amazing. Had the Hoss Sandwich (could only eat 1/2 and nearly went into a food coma). The homemade mac and cheese is out of this world as is the bread pudding. Bought some to carry back home and the super friendly staff packaged it so we could transport it in our ice chest back to Arkansas. The homemade bbq sauce is kept at a warm temperature on the tables, absolutely amazing. I have had lots of different bbq across the country but this was hands down the best food and service I have encountered. The food was also very reasonably priced. The Hoss sandwich was around $17.50 and could easily feed 3 people.

    Delicious slow smoked bbq in a family friendly atmosphere is what you'll get when you eat at Marshall's Barbecue Pit. Although the line was long, the service was quick, and our order was taken with a smile. I ordered the brisket Mac-and -cheese, it was gooey, cheesy, and mouth watering. My daughters and husband all tried the chopped beef sandwiches, which were huge and filled with slow, smoked beef. We also got the Parmesan potatoes and fried okra, the food was amazing. If you want exceptionally good bbq at a reasonable price, you must try Marshall's.

    Love this place! Everything is so good, but really need to do homemade fries, twice fried. Regardless, it's a must try!

    Passing through town, asked a local about good BBQ restaurants, he raved about this one. We were not disappointed, great BBQ.

    My new favorite BBQ place. We usually just buy by the pound and get a side each. Everyone at home…read moreloves BBQ too so we bring home the left overs. 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.

    Wife loved the chopped brisket sandwich but I've definitely had better. I didn't care for their…read moreGerman Potato Salad but their onion rings weren't bad. 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.
