    Fried pie
    John K E.

    Stopped here for dinner, and went with a loaded baked potato (pork), and two fried pies (apricot, cherry). The potato was gigantic, and very well prepared. The pork had a good mix of bark and meat, but minimal smoke. It required a house sauce to bring it to life. The pies were good-sized, but thin. More fruit filling would not be out of order.

    9. Baked Potato with Chopped Beef Brisket

    We stop here and eat every year on our way to Arkadelphia from Austin and this year was no different. Super gracious staff, immaculate dining rooms and the food is hot, fresh and delicious. I ordered the rib plate this time and dang if it didn't look just like the pic on the menu and tasted even better! Tried the coleslaw... so good and of course I had some beans! Plus, being a sucker for texas toast made for one happy girl!! Been here during the lunch rush and a quiet 3 in the afternoon, same friendly service and fresh food every time.

    This was what I was given for 3 meat dinner for $24

    Stopped in on way to work and ordered 3 meat dinner. Pulled pork, Sliced Brisket and Pulled Brisket. Got to work and opened container and no pork. I called them and told them what happened. They asked if I had my receipt and I told them I threw it in their trash can on way out the door. They said sorry nothing we can do. I called them less than 10 min after leaving the store. The portions were super small especially when they charged an extra $4 for brisket. Definitely not a $24 meal and it wasn't even that good. Meat was very dry. I guess that's why they include 3 cups of sauce. Definitely won't be back!

    What a Waste!!

    I ordered a SMOKED SAUSAGE sandwich. I ask you. Is smoked sausage supposed to put your mouth on fire? Since when does SMOKED SAUSAGE have red pepper flakes in it. NO!! I called Big Jakes and they said, "Yes, I am sure you got smoked sausage. I saw the manager cut it." What? I ordered a sandwich for my grandson. He couldn't eat it. My husband couldn't eat it. It is WAY to HOT! Good grief. What a waste. Three sandwiches go in the trash. Let people know. Put it on the drive through window with a flame. . Something!!

    Great meal for the price. Tender & flavorful brisket. Nice side of beans and admirable sauce. Good choice for a casual lunch.

    Mighty tasty BBQ! I liked the 3 sauces and smoke supplies of free pinto beans. Very good brisket and pulled pork. I'd go back.

    We lovvvveeeee Redbone! We lovvvvveeee the food!!! We lovvvveee the entertainment!! Never once have…read morewe had a bad experience. I threw my husband's surprise 40th birthday party at Redbone! My husband still talks about how much fun he had! Everything on their menu is great. They have the best chicken tacos, fantastic pizza, yummy everything --- onion rings are freaking awesome, I could go on and on and on! Love their brunch too! The service is phenomenal. ALSO--The owners are wonderful, so kind and welcoming. We love seeing them. It's also a kid-friendly place! My daughter enjoys the bands and the magic tricks! It's just a really cool place. We don't get out too much since we have a 7 year old, but when we do - we always choose Redbone!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    One of the coolest places in Texarkana! Come here to share a pint, watch the game, play trivia, see…read morelive music, or enjoy a book with a pizza in hand. Redbone can either be packed or totally quiet & cozy depending on the day. We love their pizza (got just pepperoni & mushroom this time) that they cook in their built-in wall oven. Beers are good too, and last time we were in we were able to watch some college football (day after Thanksgiving). Servers are super nice. Some minor notes: the beer cheese is a little different (not like velveeta or whatever) & the bathroom is quite large but can get a little chilly in winter. But these are minor - we love this place every time we come in town!
