Been trying here since they opened. We buy the brisket by the pound and it is very good. Ribs are good, and sides are good. Enjoy.

I was making my way through Dallas on my way home down 175 so we stopped in this little hole in the wall barbecue joint I was first, but I got the special with sliced brisket the spicy beans and the cold salad and a soda and let me tell you. I was more than just impressed. It was delicious. For the amount of food for the price we had two plates identical $26 fantastic what a meal I didn't eat for the rest of the day. I will be back soon if you're going through highway 175 and you're hungry stop In Kemp Texas for this little spot that will fill your stomach thumbs up!! read more

Good chopped brisket sandwich. Friendly, fast service. I will stop again when passing through.

I rave about this place to anyone who will listen! I have not had a single thing here that I did not like. The staff is super friendly! This is a family owned and operated restaurant. The brisket is amazing! The ribs are delicious! Their jalapeño corn is a town favorite! Their spicy pinto beans are spot on. The potato salad is crazy good! I could quite honestly drink their barbecue sauce! And their stuffed baked potatoes are massive! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area!! read more

Slap N' Good BBQ & Catering - Brisket Stuffed Baked Potato - Barbeque Near Me - Kemp, Texas

Delicious food, generous portions wonderful service. Christian owned and operated. We always come away satisfied in body and soul.

I wouldn't know about the food. I went there twice this week. The website showed that they were open. Both times the restaurant was closed. I wasted my time & energy going there They need to update their internet site or stay open at the times they post read more

Sweetest waitress! Baked potatoes are a serious size and generously topped. Beef was a little dry but sauce was really tasty. Spicy pinto beans were more of a baked bean and loaded with meat. Tasty potato salad but didn't care for the mac and cheese- bland cheese sauce. Prices were reasonable for the value. read more

The nicest ,friendliest people work there. The BBQ is always tender and juicy... never dry! Perfect place to get your BBQ fix. Delicious ribs, sandwiches, and sides. Reasonable prices. read more

I had to keep reminding myself that this is East Texas style bbq, having been so ingrained with the Central Texas stuff. Still, most of the meats were excellent, especially the spare ribs which were very succulent. On the other hand, the chicken was a bit dry. I also really liked the sausage. We had ordered the sampler plate to share, not realizing it was a meal for one. No wonder the sides were small! Fortunately, none of us are big eaters so we were fine. The potatoes and beans were very good too. As for dessert ... GET THE BANANA PUDDING! Subtle, right? Really good stuff. Finally, the folks inside are really friendly and service was quick. read more

Great food and catering. The beans are excellent! Good brisket and tasty potato salad!

My mom and I took one of our best friends and her husband here for our friend's birthday lunch and had a great experience! The food was so good and the service was wonderful!! The gal at the front counter was also the server and just about everything else except the chef and she did everything with the most uplifting attitude, smiling and joking and just making everyone at our table feel as if we were family. I would definitely recommend Slap N Good for your bbq fix and anytime you just need a friendly, positive pick me up. We'll definitely stop in again and again. read more

Fantastic food! Large portions, great prices, and great customer service! If you are looking for a good BBQ place to go eat, definitely have to try this place! We dined in, very quaint, and they also have take out. read more

Everything, except the bathroom. The best BBQ I've had in north tx. It is excellent. We tried a little bit of everything. Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and ribs... I mean, the ribs!!!! So good. And the house made bbq sauce went well with all of it. The collard greens, potato salad, Cole slaw, jalapeño corn, all great. The green beans, weren't as good, plain salted, fine, but not like the rest of the sides. Everyone that worked there was nice and friendly. Totally enjoyable experience, but when I went to the bathroom, it left somethings to be desired. Definitely needs an upgrade, like a new toilet seat and cover and some tidiness. read more

This was some of the best bbq I've had in a long time! We had them catered for my wedding this past weekend and everything from the meat, the sides and the bread were perfect. The Mac n cheese and chopped brisket were my two favorites and they are VERY affordable for catering to feed 60 people. There was nothing left! Definitely recommend! read more

Sorry to post this but I was so surprised! Actually, for the first time I was disappointed in the chopped brisket sandwich yesterday ..... I know it's hard to believe but it was so salty and filled with burnt ends and very hard to chew that I just couldn't eat all of it. I hate to say it but again...very disappointed. Maybe it was just a bad day. read more

You had me at first bite! Moist and full of flavor this tucked away lil nugget did not disappoint. We even found out from the owner, Shannon, that the scrumptiously sweet and tangy sauce was her Grand Mil's own special recipe. If a spicy sauce is more your jam, have no fear, they also have that! Rumor has it that they plan on opening a 2nd store in Gun Barrel City this year. Just one more reason to visit the greatness that is Cedar Creek Lake! read more

Slap N' Good BBQ & Catering - Sampler Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Kemp, Texas

Never got to try their food sadly. We had a very frustrating experience. We were in town from AZ for the holidays. We placed an order online for our family gathering two days prior to pickup. They processed our payment and sent email and text verification of when the order would be ready at their GBC location. We went to pick it up one the day and at the time it was due to be ready. Doors were locked, inside showed that they clearly were not open for service of any kind. We tried to call, no answer. We tried the other location but they were already closed. We had to pick up Dickey's last minute which was subpar. We made several attempts to contact the business for a refund and to express our displeasure but could not reach them or receive a return call. We had to go through our bank and make a claim to get a reversal. Maybe we will get to try their food next trip, because we have heard it is very good. But, they need to get their act together. 1/31/24 In response to the comment left by the business. I'm sure people who ordered from your OTHER LOCATION got their orders just fine like you say. You need to acknowledge that your website is not accurate when it lets someone order from a location that clearly is not open for business. I received a confirmation for the order at the GBC location as well. And, as for the phone call you said you made, we never got a call. And, you didn't refund the $150 when you say you made a call and someone said they didn't have an order. Nor did you reply to our voicemails which included our correct number again. read more

Best ribs and chopped beef we ever had and we eat a lot of bbq. Opened at 4 and this place was packed in 15 mins. Very good. If we ever come back this way will do again Service was fast read more

The BEST bbq around!!! The meat was tender- the prices were fantastic- the sides and dessert were mouthwatering. RUN don't walk- and grab some before they run out!!! read more

I didn't go but my husband brought it home. He said the place and the people were real nice. The brisket and the sausage was real good! But the ribs were honestly the best I have ever had and I've been eating ribs for sixty years from many many places. Unbelievably good!!! We will be back! read more

Fabulous BBQ not far at all from Kaufman.. People are very sweet folks. You can not go wrong. Prices are very reasonable and good portions. I am stuffed with a 2 meat platter. The ribs are fall off the bone tasty!! I wish we had them in Talty! Great Job G read more

Best bbq on the lake or East Texas. fantastic staff and owners as well! Shannon has a heart the size of Texas! A++++

The pork ribs are awesome. The sides are small portions, but they're very good. I love the cornbread in particular. The sweet ice tea is great as well. read more

Stopped here per the yelp recs. For a small town bbq i guess its not horrible, but compared to other bbq we've had in TX, this was not good. Brisket had ok flavor but was very very salty. The sides were a tiny serving size (if your a man get an extra side) and just not very good. Mac n cheese had a vinegar taste, pinto beans were bland but salty, potato salad was ok, and twice baked potatoes had a strange texture with chewy skins. The one really good thing was the bbq sauce! Had high hopes based on previous reviews but was disappointed. The staff was super nice though! read more

Excellent bbq and great friendly people!! I came in one day and they were ready to close but they took care of me anyway.

This place made me claustrophobic. I am 76 years old and i have hard time walking around. I just wanted a good bbq place to sit and eat without having 30 people bump and run me over while i'm trying to peacefully enjoy my meal on a Thursday evening. I waited about 30 minutes for my meal at that. i have no problem with the food, i just wish service could be better. read more

The atmosphere was rustic. The BBQ was really good and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We went to have lunch at 11:45 and sat for ten minutes or so without being acknowledged so we went to Subway unfortunately. Bbq is great here but the service is terrible need some help. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times and the service is great, the place is always clean and the food is delicious and not that expensive. I just wish they were open more hours I love it! read more
