Texas Best Smokehouse Longview - Longview (TX)

3 /5 nina elrod: Okay lunchtime long line two plates 15.99 for a sausage sandwich. I know tariff but there is no way that this is correct. What an amazing wrong choice for lunch they charge like they are fine dining. I understand it’s meat and it’s smoked but stopped price gouging. The sides are not that expensive. All I can do is shake my head and I love bbq. Wont eat lunch like that again. :( so sad

5 /5 Bobbi Dickson: So my boyfriend and I are at the Hotel across the street and we decided to go get some Smokehouse. I talked to the man who was behind the counter cutting the meat. My bf and I share foods so we can try more new foods. He got the ribs and chicken with the potato salad and pasta salad as sides and I got the brisket I’ve been craving and I was going to get the ham but he suggested turkey with pasta salad and bacon ranch pasta as the sides. His plate: He said the smoke flavor is there in both meats but you need the BBQ sauce for sure. He wasn’t a big fan of the pasta salad because it tastes like it’s vinegar and olive oil but he liked the potato salad and corn bread. My plate: The best thing out of everything is that turkey! It IS NOT dry and it’s fall apart good with that smoke flavor… it’s so good you don’t need BBQ sauce. The brisket was good and juicy and falling apart and that smoked flavor is in it but you still need BBQ sauce but it was REALLY good still. I liked the pasta salad personally minus the raw broccoli LoL and I didn’t care for my bacon ranch pasta but my boyfriend liked it. And I did like the corn bread it was just like jiffy. But between the staff and the food it’s a 5 star rating for me! I would love to go back just to get the turkey for sure! I’m so glad he recommended it to me.

2 /5 michael T: Had the 2 meat combo with drink for $25. The brisket was a half cup of shredded beef, no fat cap. Ribs consisted of 2 bones, only flavor was smoke. You could eat the Mac and cheese by moving your tongue, little texture. Best item on plate was the potato salad.

5 /5 Dj Randol: Stopped in on a road trip and I’m still thinking about that Double Barrel Potato with brisket a week later. Seriously one of the best things I’ve eaten all year. Picture this: a massive baked potato split open and absolutely loaded with chopped brisket that’s tender, smoky, and has that perfect bark on the edges. Then they pile on melted cheddar, sour cream, butter, green onions, and a generous shake of their house rub. It’s pure Texas comfort food on steroids—rich, smoky, creamy, and somehow still feels like a meal you earned. The portion is huge; one potato easily fed me for lunch and dinner. Service was lightning fast and genuinely friendly. I walked in, ordered at the counter, and my food was up in under five minutes even though the place was hopping. The cashier called everybody “hon” or “boss” and meant it—you don’t get that kind of warmth at most travel-center BBQ joints. If you’re anywhere near I-20 in Longview, do yourself a favor and grab the Double Barrel Potato with brisket. It’s ridiculous in the best way possible. I’ll be detouring back here next time I’m within 100 miles. Texas Best indeed!

3 /5 John Howe: Stopped for the night on 1/11/26 @ approximately 1pm. Once parked decided to have lunch and relax after. Went with the brisket with potato salad and green beans. The lady serving wasn’t a great listener and got a little twisted up assuming and not asking questions. I distinctly told her as she was making a 2-go plate for customer ahead , I wanted same thing. She then started an inside plate. Once with a 2-go box her personality became more like one of a crocodile. After I saw what the serving size of brisket was going to be, asked if she could double it(5.40 oz). I’m a nearly 65 year old male truck driver and was hungry. Was served a happy meal for $21.64. Think the serving of potatoe salad was the biggest portion. If you want good(not great)barbecue and pay an exorbitant amount for it and get poor service thrown in this is the place for you. The meat portion could have been bigger and only received 1ea small plastic container of barbecue sauce after doubling the meat.? The cashier at least was more friendly apparently losing focus as her and the server were engaged in a conversation and neither one could converse and serve food at the same time. I had an unpleasant experience at a newer Texas Best facility over in Corsicana, TX and got mostly fatty caramelized meat and paid handsomely for it too. Not a big fan of the Texas Best Smokehouse now as they make you feel cheated to eat the barbecue and shop in their expensive stores. Bring lots of $$$ if you stop.
