Not exceptional, pulled pork wasnt bad, meat was clean and lean. A couple of complaints though, not enough bbq sauce unless you ask for for it, no bottles around, they put it on back in the kitchen. Same with napkins, they give you one, you have to ask for extras, but with bbq, you know youre going to need more than one. No dispensers at the tables or the counter, and if you want more you have to ask the counter person. Shouldnt have to for a fourteen dollar meal. Sides werent too bad, though the mac and cheese cheese was rather bland. Correction... They do have sauce and other condiments on a table off to the side, I thought it was part of the burger place adjacent.

I am rating the Smokehouse only, not the store as a whole. I work just down the street and have eat here lots of times. Recently the food has become so expensive I dont eat there as much. Today I went to grab some lunch and got the 2 meat plate with ribs and sliced beef. Wow, how this place has changed! The meat had no flavor I had to soak it in sauce to get down half of it. I also noticed a charge on my receipt that said $1 rib upcharge. I got only 2 ribs and there was an upcharge? At least my dogs will have a nice snack when I get home. I will not be eating this again. Do yourself a favor and go 2 miles north to Carters, they have better food.

My wife and I are professional over the road truckdrivers. We along with many thousands of other drivers spend many days and nights hualing what keeps America producing and her store shelfs and cabinets well stocked. We have been to MANY bbq joints in our travels and Texas Best Smokehouse is on our Top 5 list. We enjoy stopping at the Gladewater,TX location on I-20 exit 571. The food is out-standing. The meat is always fresh, tender and full of flavor. Always a ton of sides to choose from and the tea fresh! The staff is friendly, very helpful and the store is always clean. Do yourself and tastebuds a favor and stop...

If you want to spend $9 on a meal and not smile afterwards, go somewhere else. If you dont mind spending a little more for something that puts a smile on your face, I recommend you treat yourself to a meal here. I spent $18.62 on just myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I will stop again sometime. :-) *update* I had the spaghetti chicken special tonight and it was delicious and under $10 total! Try it on Sunday or Tuesday with a roll or cornbread and 2 sides with a drink! Recommended. :-)

Okay, so I read the reviews thinking I was going to be in for a treat. I was sorely mistaken. I ordered a combo of chicken and turkey with veggies and potatoes. My chicken was pretty good. But everything else was so soaked with grease and oil that I couldnt stomach it. And the turkey had the texture of fat. If you dont mind consuming a bucket of lard, this is a place for you. But if you are health conscious and would prefer not to die of a heart attack, I suggest you steer clear.

Being a truck stop food snob, I was totally impressed with this great little find. Absolutely delicious BBQ. The ribs were so tender that they fell off the bone and were perfectly seasoned on the outside. They had the perfect fat to meat ratio for fantastic flavor. The sausage sandwich was also delicious. We had the regular sausage and it had a wonderful spice to it. A little BBQ sauce was all you needed. Id plan to eat here again for sure!

We stopped to try lunch today as we always get our gas here when passing through. They use styrofoam plates and the plate broke apart as I was walking to the table. Food hit the floor and it was a huge mess. A very nice gentleman suggested that they give me a new lunch since their plate broke, The lady at the counter didnt agree so he bought me a sandwich. I thank him for his kindness. The food was okay but not great so I wont be back.

Not bad but I wouldnt rate it the best. Went because everyone else had food things to say. Got the brisket chopped and it was ok. $11.99 Meat was a little on the tough side for Texas brisket, smoke flavor was not to heavy and could have been increased but I believe thats because it was probably rushed hence toughness. Mac and cheese/beans are my classic bbq necessity. Sides were ok. Service was good .

Ive been here 2 times 2 years apart. Both times were excellent. The BBQ great, sauce great and the service is exceptional. I believe he is the manager/owner there but you can tell he loves his job. I distinctly remember his from the first time 2 years ago. The last time my wife and I got the loaded baked potato. Definitely recommend.

We ordered the sliced brisket and the chicken. The brisket looked and tasted like your typical roast and chicken was petrified and not editable. The broccoli salad was very tasty but the Hello Dolly Bar was another petrified item and not editable. Would NOT recommend this place to anyone I like or care about.

the sides were bad. its all the pre made crap. the bbq was not near as good as it should have been for the price. way over priced. and the black guy that works back there is always rude. maybe because im white.. so your self a favor and go right down the road to carters bbq. they have great prices and good bbq.

If this is Texass best I will pass everyday without ever stopping again. The brisket and pulled pork tasted like it was boiled and very little smoked flavor. When I cook these on just a regular grill mine has more flavor then this. And the prices are out ridiculous for the poor quality of food.

Terrible service, terrible food. I thought I was going to a real restaurant, not an over-priced gas station with insufficient space for any sizable group. The meat was hard to chew, the sides are bad (except the Mac and cheese), and the banana pudding tastes like Laffy Taffy. Stay away.

Thought we were in for a treat as we were passing through, however the food was dry and cold and the cleaning "girl" decided to come out of the restroom to make my illness public. Will NEVER RECOMMEND OR SUGGEST this place EVER! How distasteful can one be.
