Good food but really expensive. Was great once but they've slipped recently. The rolls are just as good as before and the brisket is good but sides need some work I think. read more

My wife and I would eat there about once a month. About a year ago, I had to quit eating there for medical reasons. Except for one time, I always had a good meal there. As good as any in Tyler anyway. My wife loved the BBQ Chicken. I'm sorry they closed. read more

We ate there last week and had a great experience. My spouse and I shared a pick 3 combination plate, with sausage, chicken, and brisket, and all were very good. The young man putting our plate together was patient, generous, and actually seemed to be enjoying his job. He gave us a second plate to make it easier for us to split the meal. We got the potato salad and coleslaw as our sides and both were good, too. The woman at the register was also very nice. Another woman came around a couple of times offering us more bread. While we liked the bread, we didn't take any more from her -- she looked a bit offended we didn't take any the second time she came around, though! lol! The place was clean, and the decor looked nice. All in all, we liked the place and we will eat there again. read more

The quality and taste of the food has declined. The service is poor. We've been good customers in the past, dining in and catering for family gatherings, but no more. It's really too bad. read more

I just moved from Arlington, texas, where Spring Creek barbecue is awesome! I was so excited to see that Tyler had one. So I excitedly walked in and ordered a sandwich, some okra extra crispy and some rolls to take home. First, the okra was not even halfway crispy. It was mushy, they took it back and fried it some more and yeah, never got crispy. Then i'm eating the sandwich going down the road, and there's hard chunks like that stuff's been sitting out for a while. I had asked for sauce on the side, i dug in the bag for my sauce to doctor it up. There was no sauce. Needless to say I was very disappointed. read more

Barbecue was okay and the private room was nice. Food is served cafeteria style. The best part was warm yeast rolls brought around to our table often, but the bread would have been better with a little honey. read more

Manager brought me the missing part of my order. Outstanding cystomer service. Thanks

I'd give this place a 0 if the rating would allow. Attempted to order. I was the only person in the place, absolutely no one waiting or at the tables. I walked up to order and began to order; I told them I needed it to go??? They told me I had to go over to the To Go order area. Why??? They get the food from the same area. Why couldn't they just put it in a Styrofoam container, add a scoop of green beans from the very line I was in??? A teenager dressed me down, and lost not only multiple customers from my family, Additionally I work at a rather large organization in Tyler, and I plan on telling everyone my story. read more

Will not make this mistake again. Both the brisket and the sausage were cold, asked for rib sauce barely enough sauce to cover 2 bites. Not much meat on my plate less than half of what you get anywhere else and it was cold, hot hot bread made so no bread with my meal. Staff not friendly and cashier was rude. Bread lady making bread was rude when I asked for a piece of bread. And they over charge. Over twice the price of any other bar b Que restaurant within a 100 mile radius. I will not come back. Save your money go somewhere else. Their quality of food and the service has gone way down and the prices are outrageous read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - the outside of the restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Food was delicious. It's a cafeteria type of place to order and chose your food. 60 some dollars for three people. Cafeteria type of environment. read more

Ordered take out....Requested Brisket LEAN...Ribs and sausage, beans and saladi opened the brisket ,,, Oh my God!!! Had to have been a joke .,,. The brisket was so fat. There was as much fat on each slice as there was meat The pieces were just thrown in the container. It was the worst presentation of food. The ribs and sausage were fine. We drove from Mineola Texas to Tyler on Broadway for an expensive disappointment. read more

Did a curbside here last week! i had some of the best ribs I've eaten, and wife had a turkey plate that she said was awesome! Sides of coleslaw and green beans were also good. The young lady that brought out our order was very sweet and made for a great experience! read more

Pricey!!!!!!! Good BBQ. Very clean. I usually get the chicken. If you are not into smoking your own food, this is a good place to go.

Came in for inside dining. 5pm gave man my order he walked away gave my order for dinner plate ribs two side's potato salad and coleslaw. Both great. Ribs were dry but good texture and flavor otherwise. Sauce good. But going through checkout to be seated No sweet tea.and she ran my card no paper in the register so no receipt for me. I did ask. When I first came in elderly group had coupons they asked if I had one I said no. They said go ahead of them because management was making them wait. read more

Very dry beef & not enough to even cover bun. This is what restaurants do to folks ordering to go or delivery I suppose. Okra was great though. read more

I will not be back! Me and my father stopped by today to get food for our lunch. It took them around 29 minutes to serve us yet around 14 other customers had their food served we asked for the manager and he was arrogant disrespectful being sarcastic saying " do you have a problem?" the woman who served us practically ignored us and even when we got our order, she angrily shoved our food into a sack. I would not recommend this place. The food also tasted like pure shit. A single glass bottle of soda costs $4 almost $5 with tax included. read more

I ordered the 2 meat combo with brisket, ribs, and okra which is higher priced than the other bbq places-$19+...what I got was about 2 tablespoons of burnt tasting peppery scraps called brisket, and 3 dried up unseasoned ribs...the okra, however, was the best I've had ever... I've gotten better tasting ribs off the deli in a supermarket...It ruined my whole afternoon...please noticed they were #10 on reviews...smh...the cashier was nice and friendly...the environment was nice...the other staff was not friendly...I've had springcreek in Dallas and it was a lot better... read more

We ordered the XL Family Pack on Saturday, September 23, 2023. It was advertised to feed 8 people including 2 meat selections and 3 sides. Sadly, I spent $109 on this Family Pack. There was only enough meat to feed 3 adults and 2 small children. Literally 1-2 slices of beef OR 1-2 slices of Turkey. Both being approximately 2-5 bites. The sides seemed plentiful, but the meat was the deal breaker. I went to Brookshires and grabbed 3 rotisserie chickens in order to compensate. We will never ever order from Spring Creek again. Who packages this and thinks it's ok? Do better. Be better, or please inform your customers that you cannot meet their needs before they depend on you and pay you. read more

Worse customer service...! Visited tonight and wanted a salad with barbecue meat vs the dry white flat piece of chicken. The worker runs to ask if it's ok??? What! I have come here at least 6 other times and it's never been an issue. Well I am done with Spring Hill. Most of you probably have visited a barbecue place and the chicken they use is ALWAYS barbecue meat, not here, this is the white boneless chicken piece we all see in the super market. Get a life Spring Hill, yes, I walked out and will never return. read more

Five stars for the rolls; one star for everything else. Tried it for lunch on Sunday - line was almost at the door. No problem, it moved fast, but it was SO hot. My two year old and I were drenched in sweat by the time we ordered. Kids shared a plate - double mac and cheese for the win - and husband had pulled pork. I ordered a salad and got a number for the table. Proceeded to watch the rest of the family almost finish their food before my salad came out. Food was ok, should have been much better for the price. Can you get rolls to go? Otherwise, no reason to try again. read more

So... all my life I have heard such great things about "Texas BBQ". So even though it is a chain restaurant, I figured this place should be decent. It has 3 stars on yelp and Texans are supposed to know BBQ. So, via deductive reasoning, it seemed that this should be a safe bet. I wasn't expecting a place you had to wait in line for two hours, but it should at least be passable! I was wrong. This was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. I drove a couple of blocks to my hotel and was ready to dig in. And there was nothing good about this meal. The sausage was greasy and bland. The baked potato was overcooked and had almost no butter but a ton of sad chewy bacon. The bread was dry as the Sahara. And the brisket... dry and flavorless, with watery bbq sauce. I ate a couple of bites of each and then threw it all in the trash. I had to go out and buy a second dinner because it was so inedible. I should have gotten food from the McDonald's next door. I could find 100 better BBQ spots back home in Los Angeles. Staff was nice enough though and I'm very sorry for them, they probably go to McDonald's a lot too.. read more

Amazing food service is the best ambiance is amazing good music is so great I will definitely come again

Best barbecue in TX. So glad they had a location in East TX, while we had to come to Longview!! It was extremely clean, and everyone was very friendly. My 10-year-old daughter was even impressed by the friendliness. We bought 2 bottles of the sauce to take home. SO tasty!! Also, the first time my kids have ever had BlueBell ice cream!! read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - The food sucks - Barbeque Near Me - Tyler, Texas

The barbecue is really good. It is tender and has a great flavor-especially with the sauce. Both the potato salad and beans are delicious as well. They also make wonderful rolls. I could make a meal with the rolls alone (but I wouldn't :-D). They are that good. The portions are also generous. I would definitely recommend Spring Creek Barbecue to everyone read more

Worst run Spring Creek I've ever been to. I grew up eating and working at Spring Creek BBQ. Went in tonight around 6. They ran out of baked potatoes. At 6 PM on a Tuesday? The bread girl didn't pass bread the entire time I was there. She was only putting the bread in the oven as we were leaving. The coleslaw tasted bad and the green beans had no flavor at all. The only good thing was the turkey and the sweet sauce. Won't be back to this location; this isn't the first time I've been disappointed at this very location. Should've known better to give them another chance. Very sad, have more pride in your food/service. Y'all can do much better than this. read more

the food was excellent. i called my order in it was ready for pick up when i arrived. Had a wonderful meal when i got homeBeef Brisket

To start out rude chopped bbq lots of crunchy not hand cut and chopped was in a warming tray not good at all all the fryer sides about $2:00 more the Mac has no cheese moor butter than cheese. Two for lunch one plate and one sandwich (chopped beef ) more like jerky all the burnt not the most not juicy more crunchy . Will not ever go back. Almost fell in restroom a slick mess! beware read more

Good: the CK is pretty good juicy, the bread is good and warm yummy Bad: the prices can get somewhat expensive So-so: the sides.. they should put more variety. Overall will be back maybe. read more

We went to lunch at 2:30 p.m.at the Tyler location. The brisket was good, the sides were not good. They must have changed their recipes since we've been and it has been awhile. My wife got the last roll. The servers were friendly but I didn't get a roll until I was nearly done and it seemed I inconvenience the server to serve me bread. Several other people came in after we ate and it got busier. At nearly $50 for two people for lackluster food we'll find another bbq restaurant! read more

I had turkey and a little sausage. The sausage was pretty good but the turkey was very bland and cold. It was also highly processed. The bread was good as usual. The barbecue sauce was also good. I have definitely had better experiences in the past at Spring Creek. The wait staff is friendly and the place is clean. read more

Me and my husband eat here frequently the food has always been delicious. We bought some brisket and fries yesterday the food the brisket was tough and dry the worst we've ever had there. We try to support our restaurants especially at this time. But taking our hard earned money and serving us dry old brisket is unacceptable. There are too many other businesses in Tyler to go to. So please sell fresh food. Will try this business again! read more

BBQ was gross. Sickly-sweet, no kick, no flavor. Meat was dead. Like, really *dead*. Could have been fake meat and it wouldn't have made any difference. Fried Okra - salty as all hell. Obviously not a home-made batter or fried in-house. But rather re-heated frozen poop. Salty poop. Would have been better in a bar, 'cause I could have ate them while drinking a beer. Coconut cream pie - nice. I enjoyed it and appreciated it. But overall, I don't expect to come back if given a choice of restaurants and takeout. read more

Just picked up an order of ribs to go. When I got home and opened the container to eat I found the worst ribs I've ever had. They were hard and very dry which seemed like eating tree bark. Threw them away and just ate the potato. 'This is the second time this has happened so there is no going back for me. read more

Props to them for giving Tyler ISD teachers a $10 off coupon during Teacher Appreciation Week. However, the meal itself was very plain. The brisket was the best part of it, and even then, it was just decent. The Mac n cheese was bland and lukewarm, the bbq chicken's skin was rubbery and dry, and the ham tasted like something you eat during Thanksgiving (which is neither good nor bad). The potato salad was alright. The staff was nice enough. Overall, this place had a "BBQ Cafeteria" feel to it, which I didn't like, since the food seemed like it had been left out for too long and wasn't as fresh-tasting as I would have liked. Furthermore, both my wife and I got upset stomachs after leaving here, so I'm not in a rush to go back. As another reviewer mentioned, their attention to detail was a bit off, since the water/soda glasses are stacked on the soda machine, which makes it easy to pass over if you want to just have a water (either you get it then or swim back upstream to get it). Also, the bread lady didn't carry any butter, and told a customer that "he could get butter if he'd like from the to-go counter." Needless to say, the overweight patron wasn't amused and strong-armed her into getting him his butter. I realize neither one of these are big deals, but just things to consider tweaking around. I wanted to give them a higher Yelp score since they paid it forward with the $10 off coupon, but most things about the meal were plain, and we both got upset stomachs from our meal. Never a good combo... read more

What a great place!! We love bbq & the brisket was the most tender I've ever had! The pulled pork was great too! Their homemade rolls were so yummy & you could just smell the goodness! They were warm & so good! The prices are reasonable too! read more

The restaurant was filthy! I received a very nice response based on my previous negative review. I was given a gift card to try it again. I did 3 weeks later and I saw improvement. I went back today happy to spend my own money. The meat guy was rude, couldn't see any meat, vegetables or other sides because the window guards were steamy I understand that, however there was so much nastiness steam or not there's no reason for that. I ordered a brisket sandwich plate requesting corn on the Cobb and green beans. The brisket had a good smoked flavor and the green beans were okay considering there was no seasoning. However the corn was so dry coming out of the corn bath that I couldn't even get the corn off the Cobb, using my teeth and then a knife. I would have turned around and left but my 85 year old Father drove an hour to get there because I recommended it. The restaurant was fully staffed as there 5 employees standing around at the register, and counting the 3 of us there were about 10 people there all together. I never felt like a bigger looser. Sunday at 2pm read more

Not good today at all. Ordered chopped and sliced beef. Very dry and my potatoes with beef had burned meat mostly. We usually like their food but this was very disappointing. Not worth the $50. Had taken our parents to dinner as a treat . Turned out not to be read more

One of my favorites. Quick and tasty. Service is always great. Loaded brisket potatoe is a must.
