My coworker & I have been there a few times. The ribs are ok, sausage is store bought but done well, but the STAR of the show is the brisket. Tender, VERY well prepared, great smoke, good sauce, it's honestly the best I've had in N Louisiana. Being originally from Texas, I'm well versed & picky about barbecue, and this is as good as I've found in the area. By far! Sides are minimal, skippable really. We just go for the half lb of sliced brisket & a canned soda then find some shade somewhere. It's inexpensive as barbecue goes @ $10 and if really good barbecue beef brisket is your thing, this will be your place!

Our server took our order correctly, she was patient with us; as it was our first visit. The food didn't take long to arrive. The barbecue sauce was well balanced between sweet and acidic with a light bit of smoke flavor. My chicken 1/4 was delicious, the white meat wasn't dry at all. The Pit Master did a great job of seasoning the meat before it hit the grill. My potatoe salad had a bit of an acidic twang, but it wasn't bad. The beans in my opinion were not the best, but they were edible. We enjoyed the sample rib tip the owner offered us.

They are made and served by a friendly local woman (Eva?) from behind a take-out window, and you can either eat there at the comfortable tables filled with kitchy Americana or take them to go. HIGHLY recommended, we will be back! Hours are Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 6:30 P.M. If you're in Leesville, they do deliveries there Friday, according to their card.

They are hard working folks that were very friendly. I'm only coming from an honest opinion of our visit and the food we were served. We were in town for the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and as always...looking for a good BBQ joint to check out. We ended up out at Chuck's and were to say the least disappointed. From the reviews on Yelp, it looked very promising. However for me and my wife it ended up being underwhelming. We got two two meat plates with brisket, sausage, pulled pork, and the ribs (let's us try everything and get the whole experience). Both plates came with two sides (we chose potato salad, pinto beans, Cole slaw, Mac n cheese). Added two drinks...for a total of $39 rounded up. I thought it was a bit high but I have paid more for BBQ and I had high hopes for Chucks. The place was what you expect for a BBQ joint out in the sticks. No complaints there at all. The staff was friendly even though a few customers came in about 10 minutes before 4 (their usual opening time). Got our order in at the counter and got our drinks. The place filled up pretty quickly and it built my anticipation of this BBQ even higher. When they called our name to get our food. My first thought was (the brisket was a little chintzy). One slice of top and one slice of bottom cuts only (I had asked for only top). My wife only got two small ribs on her plate. But hey, I get it...we live in a very different world than we did a few years ago...everything has doubled or more in price... Okay, so how does it taste? For me, brisket always first! Hmm, tender and moist to the touch and flavor was good...but nothing to write home about. Wifey goes in for the ribs...again tender and moist...fell off the bone. But, didn't jive with the flavor. Okay, let's try the sausage...MMMMMmmmm juicy and full of flavor and in a real sausage casing (if you know, you know). How bout' that gorgeous pile of pulled pork? Hmmm...not much flavor at all. Almost tasted like it was steamed or boiled in water...then smoked. Okay, let's try the BBQ sauce on it all now. Hmmm, sauce was very hard to place...didn't have a deep rich red color like most BBQ sauce does...it was lighter almost like it had a cream of some sort in it and the flavor was not working with my flavor palette. The sides, all okay (again nothing to write home about)...except for the Cole Slaw...it was very earthy and had a very mild sweet flavoring which I didn't enjoy at all. My wife kept saying she tasted something that reminded her of Asian food...I hadn't tasted it that all. Then she offered the last bite of her ribs. There it was!!! That Chinese food flavoring...I think it was Five Spice. Neither of us enjoy that spice. Not meant to be on BBQ of any kind (in my world). Anyway, overall we were not fans of the food. I appreciate the effort and work that goes into smoking BBQ and would never say don't go to Chucks...I just think they experiment with their flavors and I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to BBQ. Clearly by their YELP reviews there are WAY more people that enjoy Chucks BBQ than people who don't. I'm just giving an honest review from a BBQ fan. Hope it helps.

The brisket has a nice crispy bark and the meat is tender and flavorful. This is about as good as brisket gets. The sausage tastes great as do the pork ribs. The flavor is spot on. The warm BBQ sauce only enhances the experience. Nice touch. The pinto beans were my favorite side. Perfectly cooked with chunks of meat in the broth. Yummy! Not a fan of the potato salad because it's mustard based and I prefer mayonnaise but really it's fine, it's just a matter of preference for me. The staff is incredibly friendly and quick to check on you to see if you need anything else.
