    Subpar BBQ and sides. Only went there due to the location of their restaurant. They are closed now.

    Bar BQ is difficult to find in East Texas that is done right. They do a reasonable job. They have decent service too.

    They have the BEST chimichangas and chalupas in town! The new location is nice and clean, and the wait staff are great! Keep up the good job

    The brisket tacos are so good! Try some with the red sauce and you will not be disappointed!

    Really good BBQ and has really good service, but I think they need to work on the burgers a bit.

    This is my 2nd visit. Last time I picked this place from a list since we were in the area. This…read moretime I was really looking forward to going back to taste more of their moist and perfectly cooked ribs. They are to die for! They tasted just like last time! Perfection! I would like to try their brisket next time since the ribs are so delicious. If I can arrange it, I'd like to treat my family to some good Texas bbq (not always so easy to find). I also enjoy their cole slaw. I do like mine a certain way. And theirs is not vinegary, which I really appreciate. Their beans are a bit different and remind me more of a chili than regular ole bbq beans. A bit salty for me but everything here has bold flavors. BBQ sauce was left out last time so I had been waiting to try it. I do suggest you check your food before leaving the parking lot. The only thing I wished is that they had asked me if I wanted bread since I did not. I did not want any and I especially did not want them in a plastic baggie, placed directly on top of my ribs. I do look forward to my next visit although it is a bit far from home.

    The ribs and brisket are terrible. Idk if this place would be able to stay in business in any other…read morepart of Texas with a more competitive market. The loaded baked potato is good though that's the best item on the menu but if they ran out of potatoes you might as well drive somewhere else.

    We were driving back to Houston from our trip to Little Rock for a wedding. The wedding was…read moreawesome. So we pulled into a huge parking lot. Pro tip there is a huge amount of road construction around the restaurant so plan accordingly. We were greeted and sat promptly. Karen our server came and greeted us and got our drink order. I went to the restroom, it was clean but in need of a cosmetic upgrade. The restaurant itself was clean and had a Louisiana feel. My wife ordered the Salmon med rare, and she said it was excellent. I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and I was impressed by the buttered flavor of the flour tortilla that was crispy on the edges. I also was pleased with the amount of shrimp and cheese. The guacamole and the pico were fresh and tasty. For appetizers tried the Pistolette and were not overly impressed. The Boudin Balls and sauce were very good. I think they could have been a little spicier, but they were great. The bread pudding was just average in my opinion, but my wife loved it. My wife and I agreed that this will be one our go to stops when driving through Lufkin.

    Came on a drive through town when it was a slower Saturday evening which made for awesome service…read moreby Madi & perfect food. Having humble & genteel personality while being a menu wizard, she made me feel right at home with her hospitality. My Oysters Royale cooked by Michael were fantastically perfect & delicious. I should've gotten the dozen instead of the 1/2. Being it's my first time, I had to make sure they were on point first & they were! I loved the charro bean side that came with rice & sausage bits topped with pico. The hush puppies are decent with some garlic butter you might want to dive into like it's the Summer Olympic swimming relays. The music and atmosphere was nice & festive. The booths are comfortable & being solo, the 2 person sized ones were perfect for me. Lufkin has a mainstay that most towns would be jealous to have. Come eat here & leave satisfied. Bring all your friends! You can't go wrong here with Tia Jaunita's. You just might want to camp out here.
