Food is always great. The fried chicken was moist..and the bbq baked beans are dynamite (sweet with a just the righ t amount of heat)

Now they have gluten free hamburger buns! Great cooks are careful if you let them know you have an immune problem with flour. Tell your server about it. And talking about helpful servers Chrissy is awesome! Goes the extra mile and just so personable. Thanks Chrissy -no worries about food, or just anything. Elaina is great too! We like the Rueben's, smoked baked potato's, ribs, smoked wings too Enjoy eating out with fantastic bbq read more

Quick, fast, and very tasty! The president of US has a photo on the wall. I had the pulled chicken sandwich, fries, and beans. read more

Texas Ribs and BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

Attempted to place a pickup order and as I tried to order I was told that both of the menu's (1 being on their actual website) did not have correct prices or items listed. they're now charging more money for less food. The website menu says a sampler comes with 2 ribs, leg quarter and brisket or pork with 2 sides for 17.99. Now for $24 you get 1 side, 2 ribs and leg quarter and if you want brisket it's $4 extra! And you can't order kid's meals to go (which the menu states) but I think it's ridiculous. Wanted to try this place based on the reviews but I'll pass. Update your site with accurate information read more

First time in this area and saw there was a bbq place, so we decided to check it out! We were super excited and as soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender, a blonde lady, stared at us. I have never felt so unwelcomed in an establishment before. She glared at us as she poured our two waters and asked us what we wanted. I can not review on the food, I wish I could have, but we did not try it. I let her know we were leaving and she gave us a crooked smile with her super dark eyeliner and said bye. I chose not to eat or spend money in an establishment that made me feel so unwelcomed, so we left. Different ethnicities may not be welcomed here, be careful if you chose to dine here. read more

I give this one 4 stars because it really is as good as it gets for Texas-style BBQ in Maryland, though there were a few not-so-great aspects to the meat. I read the 3-star review below this one and I think that the author is missing the point - of course its not as good as Texas BBQ, its in Maryland! I ate here for dinner with my partner and we started out with the Texas Shrimp appetizer. I am very picky about seafood and was really impressed with the shrimp - well seasoned with no fish taste at all and cooked well which resulted in a very palatable texture. I don't prefer tender or "shrimpy" shrimp and this dish was flavorful, spicy, and good. I happily ate it! I ordered a brisket sandwich and my partner had the baby back ribs. I found the brisket to be absolutely delicious, though not as moist or tender as I prefer. I used the rather unimpressive BBQ sauce to make things juicier and after I added some cole slaw to the sandwich I was chomping like a maniac. All in all, a great sandwich, but the meat was slightly dry and I needed lots of BBQ sauce to make it juicy and cole slaw to add sweetness. Its definitely worth the $7. My partners baby back ribs were fantastic. The meat was falling off of the bones and smoked so deliciously. It was hard to pull the ribs apart because the bone would come out clean - good job on those ribs! I recommend them highly. The side item of baked beans was also yummy, though the portion was rather small. I also got a pulled pork sandwich to go, which I ate the next day. What I don't like about their BBQ sandwiches is that they serve them dry and the customer has to add sauce. I think that the moistness of the meat is sacrificed when you do this - add the sauce in the kitchen, let it simmer, and you're dealing with a much stronger sandwich. All in all I recommend this place. The owner loves to attend BBQ contests and the brisket placed 14th in the world. The owner is a very nice man, walking around the restaurant and greeting all the customers. Lots of locals come in this place, you can tell the community loves the food. The prices are great, the service is fast, and I think this is a great place for casual dinners and informal celebrations. read more

French Fries From France? My friend lives in Clinton, so we did a little research to find a place close by. This place is a down-home, laid back spot. It does feel Texas-like when you walk in. I won't get into the ambiance and all that because that's not its selling point. The food was solid. The ribs were executed well, though not super meaty. The chicken had a nice crisp to the skin. I'm not a BBQ expert, but I heard that Texas BBQ generally specializes in not using a lot of sauce, so I made a point to try everything without sauce first. It wasn't bland, but definitely needed sauce. My sides, baked beans and mixed veggies, were cooked and seasoned properly. Oh yea, we started with buffalo wings, which were cool. My only gripe with the restaurant is that french fries was not offered as a default side for my meal. In order for me to swap out for fries, it would have been $1.99 extra. It's not the end of the world, but definitely held back a 4th star. I was wondering if their french fries were REALLY good, maybe imported directly from France, but looking at the pics on Yelp... they just look like regular french fries :shrug:. Go check the place out. The BBQ is better than Hill Country, but not better than the guy around the corner from my house in front of the liquor store. read more

This restaurant has some of the best food in the area. You can get an entire meal at a reasonable price. The babyback ribs are to die for. Their own sauce is spicy and good. And the mash taters have lumps just like your mother use to make. The service is great and they make sure you have everything you need and that you don't go away hungry. The drinks are well worth the money spent. Don't pass this hidden gem up on your next trip out to eat! Well worth it! read more

Disappointing would be an understatement. I was staying near Andrews Air Force Base with some coworkers and we decided to give this place a try since it was the top-rated restaurant on Yelp for this area. Food - I wanted to try their "award-winning" brisket so I ordered the Brisket and Mac off the specials. Brisket flavor wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. I had to actually cut the brisket with a knife. The mac n' cheese looked and tasted like it had been sitting in a warming tray at a buffet for an hour. The Texas toast was buttered toast. The coleslaw wasn't bad. One of my friends got the chicken and ribs and said it was the worst grilled chicken he has had in years. Another friend got a steak and didn't finish it. Service - Waited 30 minutes for food. I had water to drink and I finished it 3/4 of the way into my meal and the waitress never offered to refill. Price - About $20 with water to drink and after tip. If this is the best restaurant in this area, I weep for the local residents. I will be hitting a chain restaurant like IHOP or Ruby Tuesday before I come back to this place (sad, I know). It was really, really bad and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

I went here again tonight. service was good as always. food was excellent as always. I couldn't convince myself to get anything other than the pulled pork wrap I had last time. was just as good this time. Love the mild sauce on the table. they also have a sweet sauce if you request it. bf had the baby back ribs. excellent. the manager was raving about the sweet potato cheesecake. We got it. It was yummy but interesting. i expected it to be a cheesecake that had sweet potatoes bake in the mix... but it was a sweet potato pie with a layer of cheese cake baked on top. still tasty. the only bad things I can say about this place is- parking is in short supply and I wish they could find a way to have more of it.... and I would love to see a huge two person share combo platter on the menu so you could go and try a little bit of everything in one sitting.... other than that, defiantly worth the 45 minute one way drive for bbq and I will be back (that's not a threat it's a promise!) read more

Texas BBQ? In Maryland? Well, yes and no. Our gold standard fro BBQ is Rudy's in San Antonio (we have spent lots of time in both San Antonio and Houston and have sampled some pretty amazing BBQ). My ten-year old and I both ordered sampler number one ($13.95): dry-rubbed ribs, smoked chicken, brisket (for me) and pulled pork (him) along with beans, slaw and Texas toast. My wife got baby-back ribs with green beans and mac-n-cheese. Texas BBQ: YES. The brisket was perfect. Red ring. Great flavor. Not too dry. Easy to eat and enjoy. The ribs were meaty and flavorful. I am not sure I have ever had better ribs. The chicken was great--I Iive in New England and it is hard finding smoked chicken. The beans were very sweet but tasty. and my wife loved the mac-n-cheese! Texas BBQ: No. The pulled pork was vinegar-based. It was good, but Texas places don't usually serve pulled pork, and definitely not vinegar based, right? Overall, I think what made me happiest was meeting the manager/owner who took the time to find out how we were doing. He serves the food himself. He's lived in Port Aransas (south of San Antonio near Corpus Christi) and so he does understand Texas. It was a great value! And Texas Ribs and BBQ is near the Metro station just outside of DC just off of Highway 5. Try it! read more

This is one of the best rib locations in Maryland The staff is incredible and it is worth the travel no matter where you're coming from. read more

Did I just read that someone complained in their review of too much meat in their brisket sandwich? Sheesh, guess you can't satisfy everyone. On the other hand, I'm not quite sure how this place is 4+ stars. First impression? I too tried the brisket sandwich (which was adequately portioned) and I would consider it decent, but a little dry. The sides were average. I also tasted some of the ribs and and chicken, but was not blown away. The staff was friendly enough, but the place seemed a bit dated, complete with the garnish on the plate. It's a good sport if you're in the area, but I wouldn't travel miles for their BBQ. read more

Still the best. I get a kick out of WaPo and Washingtonian food writers and critics talking about new BBQ joints in DC that have been here for a year like they discovered BBQ! Texas Ribs and BBQ has been around for forty years and at this location , their best, for over twenty. Still the best ribs and brisket in DCMdVA, period. I keep trying these others and they are good but not as great as Texas Ribs and BBQ. read more

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS. My partner and I walked in and had pretty low expectations. It's Clinton, Maryland. You don't get excited about dining options. First, we were seated and waited on by Charlotte, who was a goddamned delight. Very friendly, without intruding. I love that. It's noon on a Saturday, so we were given a breakfast menu and a lunch menu. We started with the pepper jack macaroni and cheese bites. My partner got one. I hoarded the rest (seven or eight) and snarled. That's definitely never happened before. I'm usually very good at sharing. I don't want to brag or anything, but I've always gotten a check plus or a O in sharing. They were so good that I'm mad about it. That's an entirely new feeling for me. I've never been pissed at how good food is. That's weird. Charlotte recommended the chipped beef, which was a solid meal. The eggs were fluffy and perfect, the potatoes were crispy without being overcooked, and the chipped beef over toast was as good as my dad's. That's huge. I never order chipped beef when out because I'm always disappointed. There was no disappointment to be found here. Only joy and breakfast ecstacy. Breakfastacy? Maybe. That kind of works. Anyway. GO HERE. Order the mac and cheese bites, and say hello to Charlotte. She's a fucking treasure. read more

I live in the area so I've been a regular for years and until recently was always satisfied. My last three visits, however, have been very disappointing, and my visit today for lunch is EXTREMELY disappointing. I'm writing this review as I feast on my cold, hard, dry brisket sandwich lunch. I stopped in today and picked up two brisket sandwiches to go. They opened at 11:00, I arrived at 11:15 so why is my brisket cold, hard and dry? This is the second time in a month that the brisket was hard and dry. And they put no where near the amount of meat on the sandwich that they used to The only saving grace is that the roll is fresh and the sauce is good so I slathered it on so I could actually eat the sandwich. :( I would think 15 minutes after opening I would get the best part of the brisket unless they'll selling the leftovers from the night before! Maybe! I was there Tuesday, the 10th and had the St. Louis RIbs. Again, the sauce saved them! The meat from the bone to just around the gristle was good; the meaty part of the rib above the gristle was tough and I couldn't eat it. I also don't understand the no substitution policy. The ribs come with your choice of cole slaw, baked beans, string beans or potato salad. Why not french fries? How much do french fries and a side salad cost anyway? I don't like the taste of baked beans or potato salad and I don't eat string beans so my only option is cole slaw (which is actually very good!). And why do I have to pay an extra $1.00 for blue cheese dressing. Nickle and diming me, while giving me inferior food will make me take my money elsewhere! read more

Omg the ribs are delish, there are so many things on the menu that I love. The catfish is yummy too. This is a great down home place and the staff is very nice. read more

This should get zero stars. Went here yesterday at the suggestion of a colleague and ordered the brisket sandwich. Mistake number one... I guess I should preface this by saying I spent about 10 years of my life in various cities in Texas and am a regular visitor to the state. On that note, I should say I had REAL bbq last summer in Dallas, TX, at a hole in the wall spot called Off the Bone (Yelp it). In any case, the sandwich came. Bone dry, over cooked. It was probably from the day prior, or something. The meat was lukewarm, the bun was cold. It was awful. Insult to injury, the potato salad was bland, bland, bland. No flavor. Well, the owner or manager came by, a short older white lady, and asked how the food was. I told her mine was dry and the smile disappeared from her face and she mockingly asked if I wanted some juice. Seriously. She really did say that. No, seriously. My food wasn't replaced and that place, her included, successfully gave me the worse BBQ experience I've ever had. Stay away. Try the Tender Rib in Suitland on Branch Ave if you are semi-close to the area. Not Texas, but not that bad. read more

Terrific service and food. Many BBQ places lack in either their sides or BBQ, but this places was excellent in both with fast and friendly service to top it off. Portions were of decent size, sauces were great and don't miss out on the cornbread. read more

Been here a few times over the years and have always had a positive experience! Really close to Andrews and great food! Really enjoy the brisket sandwich, brisket in general, ribs and the sides. Pie is also very good and totally what you need after a big meal. They have two different bbq sauces at the table and a honey BBQ they give on request that is delicious with the brisket. Have had a couple really good pieces of pie here too! Usually leave rather full. Great BBQ spot, go here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Texas Ribs and BBQ - It was a health meal for sure. - Barbeque Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

I was out here for work and directed by yelp. This place is legit Texas BBQ. The place feels like Texas with all wood interior and pretty loud (in a good way). The food was on point; sampler 1 w coleslaw and collard greens. Everything was amazing. Service was also 5 stars. Offered me sweet and super hot sauce in addition to sauces on table. Great experience! read more

Went on Sunday at 3:15 to pick my food up. I was the only one in the lobby and had to wait 10 minutes for someone to come to the front so I could have my food. It was sitting there getting cold. I asked if it was still hot since it was just sitting there. The girl started yelling at me that she was in the back. No kidding! Took my $80 of food to the car and checked it for accuracy. 2 coleslaws were missing, go back in and had to wait while she finished washing dishes. She took everything out of the bag. Yup, back to the kitchen for coleslaw. Still waiting......3:35, no apology, nothing. No tip either. I go there often but not if this kind of attitude and service continues. read more

Only reviewing the fried catfish sandwich, it's the only meal I get, mmmm and the baked beans are so yummy! Ok so the catfish, OMG who seasoned it? It's seasoned so perfectly! I'm in love with this place!! And the service is ok as well. I usually get to go :) read more

I stumbled on this place driving back into Washington. Sadly as we all know, DC sucks for bbq. So I'm always on the lookout for decent ribs around the beltway. I didn't try the spare ribs because, well, I marginally prefer the BB's. I know they're not 'real' bbq, but they were delicious. Not over sauced at all, and very tender. Eating a full rack was no problem at all, even when preceded by (excellent) pulled pork quesadillas. The ambience was, well, not DC. Which is good or bad, depending on your taste. Mostly good, according to mine. There was, unsurprisingly, no room for dessert. So I can't help you there! But otherwise, this is my new go to place for ribs in the area. read more

Had the chicken Caesar wrap the other day that was excellent! It's such a simple dish, but this place makes it really flavorful and left me wanting more! I was really impressed. Also love their hushpuppies. read more

Very good service, and great ambience. Food was unfortunately just ok, and the prices steep for some things. For example paid $0.99 to sub fries for regular side, but given re-fried French fries. (You can tell when fries were dropped in fryer a second time by the look of the skin.) Sampler platter was also expensive considering the brisket pieces were really half pieces. Sauces good, and great service. Worth a stop, but wouldn't go just for the good. read more

I like smoked food. I mean, forget the possibility of contracting cancer from eating it; I'd risk it. But if you ask me to risk creating a throat or stomach cancer from this place, I'd rather go vegan (hmmm, not gonna happen). The food was good. The man and I ordered takeout for an in-home date. I got one of the two platters with the multi meats (chicken, ribs, and brisket) with potato salad and coleslaw. Item by item: Chicken - could've gotten better from Boston Market Ribs - a bit on the sweet side, but probably the best item Brisket - tender, but tasteless Potato salad - mayo city (very creamy); you never knew what was on the fork Coleslaw - either I didn't get it or it was unmemorable All and all, the food was worth a try. And they are open on Sunday! read more

Texas Ribs & BBQ is the best BBQ in the DC area! My now husband and I ate at countless BBQ joints in DC to find authentic BBQ that was smoked and had great flavor for our wedding reception, and we landed on Texas Ribs & BBQ. Originally, when requested to provide food for 100 people on our wedding day in July 2017, they said they already had a catering request, but then came back to us and said they would make it work and get someone to deliver the food. Working with Mark was extremely easy. He suggested a great menu for an amazing price, which came down to about $10 a person. The delivery was seemless and we even had so much food remaining that the Marines who came to our wedding took it back to their unit for lunch the next day! Everyone loved the food! If you want great quality, authentic, smoked BBQ with great service and a great price, look no further, you found your gem in the DC area! Thank you Mark and your team for such an amazing dinner for our wedding! read more

Their fried catfish is well seasoned and has a nice crispiness to it. I am so glad i ordered this. It came with a side of toast which i thought was odd but then i ate it and it completely makes sense. My sweet potato was comparable to 2 1/2 baseballs put together. It was huge! The only that i would have changed is WHERE is the brown sugar for the sweet potato? Their sugar mixture doesn't cut it. Glad i ate here and if i was in the area again i would come back. Fyi-their brisket is to die for!!!!! I tried my boyfriends. Yum read more

. Our hotel told us it was on Diners, Drive-In, and Dives, so of course we went. The food was massive in size and super tasty. One of the better BBQ places I've ever been to. My only grip is when I asked for onion rings instead of fries for my duaghters chicken, the waitress didn't tell me it was $7.99 for the onion rings. I think I ate like 1 because I was full. Had I known i was $8 to swap them out, I wouldn't have. I mentioned it to her, but she just shrugged her shoulders and did nothing. so I ended up paying for it. Great food, but that onion ring thing left a little sour taste in my mouth. It wasn't mentioned on the menu either. read more

Pretty darn good BBQ! I thought when I saw the name of this place that they served beef ribs since that is traditionally what "Texas Style" ribs are but they serve pork spare ribs here. These guys are pretty serious competition BBQ'ers based on the trailer that I saw outside the restaurant and the quality of the food that I had confirms that. The ribs were very tender and fell off the bone. The meat was of a good quality too. I have been in a few places that serve really cheap cuts of meat and you can taste it. The meat itself had a very subtle taste to it, I couldn't tell what it was seasoned with but it didn't overpower the flavor of the meat. The ribs are served dry with the sauce on the side. The sauce, while good in my opinion, didn't really knock my socks off. It was good, but there was nothing distinctive about it. I like my BBQ sauce to have a little kick to it, that was the main reason for my reaction to it. If you have ever had the sauce at Fatt Matts in Atlanta or Big Shanty in Kennesaw....that's the kick I'm talking about. The sides were good but to be honest, I can't remember what I had,LOL....but I remember that I liked them if that makes any difference. The staff were very friendly and the waitress was very attentive. In fact, she almost overdid it....leave me alone and let me eat my ribs!LOL. Good restaurant and worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

I'm usually not one for barbecue places but this place was very good. I had the catfish with ribs and Mac and cheese with beans.

The sides aren't that great but the actual barbecue is very good. read more

The chicken wings were okay. Everything else was terrible. I found myself trying different items for the whole family like the brisket (okay at best), wings (okay with the flavor), pulled pork (dry). The portions for the sides are miserable. I read the reviews ahead of time and chose this place over Levi's which reviews were absolutely terrible. The customer service was great. Dustin really took care of me. Sadly the food didn't match the service. read more
