Stopped by on a whim the other day. So glad we did. Both me and my man ordered the super stuffed potatoes. We opted to get everything on them and put brisket with sauce on top. We got a pint of coleslaw to add to our potatoes. The potatoes were $12/ea. We could of shared one! They were huge and generous with meat topping but they were so good we're still talking about it today..2 days later! Side note: would of left the bacon bits off, wish they had been real ones and not out of a jar. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, it seemed to be mostly locals stopping in for lunch when we were there. Would definitely stop there again if were ever headed that way. read more

Great quick stop for lunch and big lot for truck and trailer parking. We had chopped bbq sandwiches and potato salad. Great food and friendly staff! Would stop here again. read more

We stopped here for lunch. The brisket and jalapeno pepper jack sausage were fantastic! We also loved the bbq beans, green beans, and mac and cheese -- all of the sides were flavorful and well-seasoned. My teens recommend the chocolate cake! read more

Very disappointed with our meals. Brisket was dry and the sides were just average. Probably try another place next time. read more

A new Family has purchased Texas Bar-B-Que Corral and is doing a fantastic job! I ordered the Two-Meat Plate, Brisket and Turkey, and it was Fantastic. Also LOVED the Potato Salad!!! Also Highly Recommended the homemade Chocolate Cake (if it's not sold out by the time you get there). Lots of room in their dining area and very clean. Highly Recommend!!! read more

Maybe some of the best brisket yet. They offered lean, which I opted for and it was very tender! Like melt in your mouth kind. And they do not skimp on the quantity. Super nice young man and woman working there. Wish I would have gotten their names. We will stop here any time we are in the area for sure! read more

Best BBQ around! Royce serves delicious food in heaping portions and keeps his place squeaky clean. He and his staff are super nice, greeting you with a smile as soon as you walk through the door. read more

Excellent brisket on my stuffed baked potato. We enjoyed the sausage less. Friendly folks. Real instruments for sale and interesting vintage country albums in the bathrooms. read more

Really, really great food! We got the brisket, turkey, and sausage, all were really excellent. Sausage was least favorite but was still very good. BBQ sauce was great too. Nice people and will definitely be back!! read more

It doesn't get any more country than this place. Meats are very good, cole slaw very southern, very sweet. The bbq sauce is acidic like a carolina sauce. read more

Texas Barbeque Corral - Parking lot in the back - Barbeque Near Me - Mount Vernon, Texas

Just pulled in here off the interstate without realizing it was a few minutes before closing... This family welcomed us in, didn't rush us, took time to explain the different types of BBQ meats and dishes. In the end between the four of us we tried the ham, turkey, beef brisket, ham sandwich and 'the local favorite' Loaded potato finally topped with the beef brisket BBQ! It was all delicious but our firm favorite was the local dish 'loaded baked potato with beef', that was exceptional. The restaurant itself has a rustic charm and incredibly clean, they have really outdone themselves. The only negative is that it is hard to find... Make the effort to find it, you will be more than glad you did! A Wonderfully tasty and hospitable welcome to the GREAT state of Texas! read more

Great food & people! Glad I came back after the recent fire. Brisket is on point now!

Delicious barbecue and plenty of it! Next time my husband and I will split the two meat plate as we have been here twice and always need to go boxes. read more

The BBQ ribs are tender and very tasty. The giant stuffed potato was really good too. A great way to finish out our trip from back east.

Not sure what happened on the day that I visited but I was not too impressed. I've been wanting to stop in since I bought a vacation home out here. I came in on 06/21/2017 around 3:30pm which was probably most of the problem. It wouldn't be the first time I come into a restaurant after lunch but before dinner and the food was rough. Long story short, the pick'n were slim it appeared. The Brisket was dry and not tender, the BBQ Pork Ribs were dry and tough, and the Smoked Turkey was processed instead of the traditional turkey breast and in fact it wasn't even warmed through. I tasted everything and true story, I was so disappointed I left my tray on the table and walked out. I thought about asking if I could try something else, but I remembered the owner telling me when I asked him, "What seems to be the crowd favorite?" He replied, "It's all good and it wouldn't be sit'n up here if it wasn't good". I thought Mmm...Only thing I didn't try was the Polish Sausage. With my luck, that was probably the only thing that tasted good. I think I will drive a little extra and get better BBQ in Mt. Pleasant. read more

Being from Memphis Tennessee I can never pass up the opportunity to try another states bbq . Well here we are at the cotton belt bbq off I 30 in East Texas . The meats looked great and the sides were fresh I had the two meat plate with add on of sausage . Well the ribs and brisket were to die for and the sausage is very tasty I had the baked beans which were Texas style so it was not the sweet taste I expected being from Memphis Tennessee. The carrots were fresh and crispy but the main star was the meats I must admit they really have it figured out . I'll definitely be sure to mark this spot when I'm in the area . read more

Great bbq...I got the loaded potato and is delicious!!! Great Texas example of brisket.

Delicious stuffed baked potato. I always go there when in Mount Vernon. Friendly staff and delicious barbecue.

This place is everything I thought Texas would be. Amazing bbq and baked beans! Friendly staff and cool decor. If I ever come back to Texas I'm coming here again. read more

The BBQ was OK. BBQ sauce was regular grocery store type. Sides from Cisco. Nothing special. We had planned to eat there but decided not to when we walked in and it was like a smokey bar. It was full of cigarette smoke. It was for sale and then closed down and noticed it was open again. It is also back for sale. read more

We had some great links and brisket. Got the coleslaw and tatar salad. All homemade by the same fellow for the last 23 years. Can't go wrong if you eat herr read more

Stopped on our way from Dallas to Hot Springs. EXCELLENT brisket!!! Really nice people.

My wife and I ate here we both had the rib plate with potato salad and coleslaw. The ribs were O.K. ( mine are better) the potato salad and coleslaw were both oversaturated with vinegar. to make it short the food was horrible and definitely not worth the time or money. read more

Always great food every time we go. BBQ Brisket is always cooked just right and tender weather it is served on a sandwich, plate or as part of the super stuffed tator. You can't go wrong here. read more

My wife and I stopped in on our way from Dallas to Little Rock on Sat night. I have had a lot of BBQ in my 58 years, but that was the most tender Brisket I have EVER had along with the loaded baked potato. Also terrific folks own and run this cozy restaurant. Don't miss it! We will be back soon! read more

This is a nice little place on the I-30 access road. The nonsmoking dining room is nicely decorated, and it has a rustic look. The meat was tender and juicy and they were not stingy with the portions at all. The sauce was the only part we didn't like very much, but we still really enjoyed the restaurant and will be back. read more

One of those spots that the locals know and travelers have not found....yet. Local owners, slow cooked BBQ and friendly diners make for a quick, enjoyable stop traveling. Don't be surprised if you see the MV mayor and family eating here. We did! read more
