I stopped by on the way home from an appointment and picked up a sliced brisket sandwich and jalapeno potato salad to go. I asked for lots of bark and received exactly what I wanted, a bark-covered fatty slice and a perfectly-crusted slice of lean. There was no sauce on the sammie and if you need sauce for this 'que, you probably put ketchup on your well-done ribeye. Leave this place to the carnivores who appreciate how meat is to be prepared. The jalapeno potato salad was good, a slightly runny, chunky kind with a mayo base. I prefer a smooth mustard version, but this one was above average. I didn't get an overwhelming jalapeno taste, which I wouldn't mind, but a slight hint of jalapeno. Overall it's worth the trip in my opinion. I live in Waxahachie and we have limited choices for BBQ, so I can see myself driving North when I want some good charred mammal flesh.

Yall - do not sleep on this place! Food is so good and portions are a nice size. They just started including chicken in their menu. If you like spicy they have a very nice spicy sauce available. Owner is so kind. They even have a prayer wall. Great food, great people. Come support them!

Adding the onions and pickles to the Twisted Texan

I have been here before and had their brisket, ribs, and jalapeño sausage plate. I had their Mac and cheese, brisket beans and some potato salad for my sides. Everything was cooked to perfection. My wife had the turkey sandwich. This time I tried their Twisted Texan sandwich. Sadly they ran out of turkey for my wife. (get your order in early because they will sellout) It was delicious and filling. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. It's a must have for me. The restaurant is located right across from the High School and in the Chevron plaza.

This place was great!!! Came by during the week for dinner and loved it the place is clean and the staff is so nice! We had the backed potato and the chopped brisket sandwich special. Only thing is the brisket sandwich was small but for the price it was not bad since it also domwith chips and drink. Excited to come back!

Wow, this is excellent! Friend had two meats, brisket and turkey and said it was tender and great flavor. I had Twisted Texas sandwich with side of beans. Meats were delicious and the beans very perfect. Definitely will return often.

Brisket City is a diamond in Red Oak! My husband and I had the brisket! It was so Good! Melt in your mouth good! The stuffed Jalapeño wrapped in bacon, awesome! Sausage had the snap to it! You have to go give them a try! You won't regret it! We'll worth every bite!

Two meat plate: sliced brisket, ribs, fried okra, and brisket beans.

It's FISH FRY-day right?! If fish is what you seek don't travel here. I wanted fried fish and my…read morefamily suggested this location since Friday's this is on the menu. I looked online where they offer online ordering for pickup and fish was not there. I called and a woman who refers to people as "hun" (which is patronizing and should not be used) told me the two options without price listings so I had to ask for prices after they described the plate options. Then once I knew what I wanted I called back later to order by phone. The same woman answered and told me I needed to use the online ordering system and I asked how could I if the Fry-day special isn't there? She then had to step away and ask someone about this and confirmed she had to take our order(which is what I had already said). I ordered the four piece fish plate with two sides, $18. They said it'd be 10 minutes so my husband immediately left to pick it up. When he brought it home I opened it and they gave me fish with no sauces of any kind. I tried the fish. It was fresh but dry- and had little flavor. I opened the spicy creamed corn, there was no spice. I opened the pinto beans and the smell was unappetizing. So I decided to return the meal and request something different. I took the food back and told them of my dissatisfaction. The restaurant was bustling with families dining inside of a more mature crowd. I think they'd need to do something a little more fun to bring in lots of younger families to dine in. The supervisor and seemingly head chef took back the food and said this is why they don't have fish on the online menu. I said "what do you mean"? He answered because it may not travel well. I think they missed the point here. Fish is not a winning dish for them. The fish was flavorless and dry. The sides were unseasoned. As a replacement I got a loaded baked potato and slice of pie ($13.50+ $4.19) since I wanted something for equal value. The pie was fine. The potato was really great! This is where they shine. They make awesome sausage and well flavored chicken. I will not be back for fish but I would definitely return for sausage or chicken and for managers that make having a bad experience easy to resolve.

Why is brisket no longer available to order on the meat plates On Uber Eats or door dash??? I chose…read morea different restaurant because of this! Do better!

Walking into this place immediately gives you the feeling of an old-school neighborhood BBQ joint…read more The building itself is older and pretty small, with just a handful of booths and several small tables packed into the dining area. The decor is very minimal, but one wall completely covered in customer signatures honestly adds a nice personal vibe to the place. Ordering happens at the register tucked into the back corner, so when there's a line it cuts right past some of the tables. Definitely close quarters while people are eating, but it somehow still fits the character of the place. The gentleman taking orders was friendly, just not overly talkative. The lady who brought our food out was very polite and welcoming though, which I appreciated. Overall, the service was okay. Our food took about 10-15 minutes to come out, which felt a little long considering it didn't appear very busy other than one larger party already seated when we arrived. To be fair, we couldn't see what was happening in the kitchen. The only real frustrating part was waiting close to another 10 minutes for a to-go container after asking a few times. As for the food, I'd say it landed somewhere in the average range for Texas BBQ. Nothing was outright bad, but nothing really blew me away either. I ordered the loaded baked potato topped with brisket, link, two pork ribs, all the traditional baked potato toppings, and their spicy BBQ sauce. First off, the potato itself was fantastic. Huge, perfectly tender, and honestly exactly what a baked potato should be. The toppings were fresh and plentiful -- butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon pieces -- and it could have stood on its own as a solid meal even before adding the meats. The brisket was over chopped, which personally isn't my favorite style at a BBQ joint. I usually feel like finely chopped brisket loses some of the texture and full smoke flavor you get from sliced or a coarse chopped brisket cut to order. It stayed moist, but I really didn't pick up much smoke flavor from it. The link was unfortunately overcooked and dried out. The casing had tightened around the meat, and even sliced up it just didn't have much juice left in it. The ribs were probably the weakest part for me. They were on the smaller side, dry, and pretty tough with the meat cooked down close to the bone. Now with all of that said, the seasoning on the meats was excellent. Bold flavor across everything, and the spicy BBQ sauce was absolutely on point. I just wish the meats themselves had a little more life and moisture to match how good the seasoning tasted. Overall, everything felt pretty average to slightly below average for me, especially by Texas BBQ standards. On the positive side, the prices were actually very reasonable considering how expensive meat has become these days. I'd still come back again because I'd like to try some of the meats individually and let them stand on their own without being loaded onto a baked potato. There's definitely flavor here -- I just think the execution was a little inconsistent during this visit.

Wow! This was truly one of the best steaks I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The appetizers,…read moredeviled eggs and bacon-wrapped shrimp, were good. The Caesar salad was good, traditional, fresh, and the correct size. The garlic mashed potatoes were good. But the wagyu NY strip was just incredible. It was almost black on the outside and just warm on the inside, a perfect rare as wagyu beef should be. The meat was unctuous and delicious without being greasy or fatty. It was so richly umami flavorful, perfectly seasoned. It was just an excellent steak. The bourbon bread pudding was a huge serving and wonderfully flavorful. There was some nice bread to go with the meal too. The smoked old fashioned cocktail before dinner was excellent. And I got a nice Cabernet that perfectly paired with the steak. Our server was casual but friendly with a good balance of hospitality and service. This was truly a great dinner and one of the best steaks I've ever had... and all of this in Ennis, Texas. If you're reading this review, thank you... but just stop reading and go to Ruston Cattle Company.

Great North Ennis steakhouse giving huge lodge, cabin, cowboy vibes…read more The place is always packed at dinner but the wait never seems to be too long. Perhaps because they have a well-stocked bar with good beer and better bourbon selections. Don't skip the Smoked Old Fashioned. Food is great with traditional steakhouse choices and some pricier Wagyu options. When we are there, we seem to settle on a family style board with 2-3 cuts and the Beef Rib. Oh my, the Beef Rib smoked for 73 hours because I guess 3 days isn't quite enough time. Sides are solid and the table typically gets excited about the Brussels sprouts. Jalapeno Cheddar Cream Corn is can't miss either. Service is prompt, friendly and helpful. I'm here at least once a trip when in the greater Ennis metroplex. You should visit too.
