Ok. BBQ in Gilmer is on point. Perfect Texas BBQ…read more BBQ so good you appreciate the value and the privilege to have it. The fact that they have $20 racks of pork ribs togo, "sold cold n ready to go" on the weekends is epic. As a patron of Hutchins in McKinney when I lived there I can tell you that Rust has better ribs and brisket. It is consistently on point. My only spank on em is that their coleslaw needs salt. I get it. I order the coleslaw side... They make it ready as a menu ingredient, adding it to sammiches and dropping chopped meats on a boat of it etc. It compliments the meats as a party in the mouth full. As a side I add salt and pepper to it. I like their sammiches. "The sibling" I recommend, and all the brisket and ribs.

Travelers along Interstate 30 can get Texas barbecue in just about every town between Texarkana and…read moreDallas so what sets them apart? If they can't smoke brisket, they wouldn't be in business so for me, it's the sides. That's what made Jojack's special for me. Yes, you can get beans. Everyone has beans. But not everyone offers broccoli salad or sweet bacony Brussels sprouts. Jojack's are delicious! Also, a tip for out-of-towners: the best thing about Texas barbecue is that brisket. I used to try to be "healthy" by ordering smoked chicken and I was always disappointed. If you want chicken, get fried somewhere else. If you want barbecue, get the brisket here (to be fair, the hubs also liked Jojack's sausage options). To be "healthy," I opted for brisket-topped loaded baked potato. The potato was baked perfectly, and even the skin was yummy. I loaded my potato myself at the condiment bar so I got exactly what I wanted (plus some tasty pickled onions AND barbecue sauce!) The decor is cute and clean with corrugated tin accents and lots of eat-in tables. They appeared to be busy at the drive-through so that's an option if you're in a hurry. Servers were friendly and efficient. Oh! And they have a wide selection of bottled beers (for your passengers at least!)

Was driving my rig through, headed to Phoenix AZ for a stop and remembered there was a Texas…read moreSmokehouse within the vicinity on one of my previous trips. Found it at exit 572 i20 freeway. Long story short this place has everything you want except maybe Beef Ribs. The sides were awesome, I picked up some roasted squash and roasted potatoes. Very good. And went with a 3 meat plate 25.99. With Taxes and everything the tab came out to about 29.00+. Not bad, considering something like this out in Los Angeles would probably set you back close to 40.00. The baby back ribs were tender and retained most of its moisture, AAA. Brisket was alright, dries out really easily, preferred even thinner cut, but had a decent fat to lean meat marbling. Last meat option, I went with Spicy Sausages. It was infused with cheddar, and in all honesty, probably should have went with a slice of ham or pulled pork. Overall a pretty decent place for meat lovers. Raw onions and BBQ sauce are AYCE. This be my third time ordering here over the past 2 years driving cross country. Overall a solid stop for a fast casual eatery with Southern flare. Shout-out to the young Southern gentleman with the slick back haircut serving everyone. Very well mannered, super polite, courteous, professional, and charismatic. Excellent crew.

Their meat was tender and juicy, the sausages are made in house, and they make them gluten free so that was a pleasant surprise. The outdoor area is very nicely laid out, it has a stage for bands that come and play. I will say the pricing is a little insane. $6 for a singular sausage link is pretty pricy. We ended up spending $65 in total after tipping the staff. I would come back if I was in the area and needed a meal that I knew was safe for my allergy. The barbecue sauce was also gluten free!

The ambience of the place is really nice and with live music on Saturdays I'm sure the place is hopping. However, I honestly feel that the food is overrated. There are other highly rated BBQ places in Lindale that I preferred to eat at but they are only opened on Saturdays or days we weren't in town for. I imagine they are preferred more by locals simply because of the quality of food cooked on fewer days opened.
