Really wanted to like this place. Apparently BBQ to them means sauce, because it's drowned in it. Tastes like a fairly basic commercial sauce too. The sausage was mushy, guessing because it's left on the hotline all day. Nothing had a smoked flavor. Again, I'd guess it starts on a smoker, but finished mostly in an oven. Chicken was way overcooked. Beans were ok, and potato salad was very basic, and mostly mashed potato texture. Got the biggest plate they have, but they forgot to put the pork in the box, so don't know how it is. read more

Good food, good service, fair price. Best choice for BBQ in Bastrop. Recommended for your dining pleasure.

I will deliberately time my drives through this part of Louisiana just so I can eat here. read more

Mack's B.B.Q & Grill - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Bastrop, Louisiana

Visiting my hometown for Easter weekend and made a stop here. Dad wanted fish and shrimp. Yes, it's a BBQ spot (dang good), but they also have a ton of other tasty items. Sure, BBQ is what they are known for, but the catfish fillets and fried shrimp platter is quite tasty. Comes with fries and a salad or you can sub with another side if you want. It will take a little while because they fry everything fresh. Nothing sits under a heat lamp! If you just happen to be passing through my hometown of the big city of Bastrop, do yourself a favor and stop here for some tender ribs or chicken. And their BBQ sausage will make you bite your fingers off!! Locally owned and the folks are extremely nice! read more

See all

I normally get burgers from her every time I come to Louisiana. My Mom which is very particular about her food would also recommend them. The burgers were trash, like yesterdays burgers, not a homemade taste at all, dog food burgers (which is what I did, fed my dog), not seasoned burgers. I called Mack's and they said that they have been making the same burgers for 10 years, they would not return my money, they would not make me new burgers. The service was horrible...attitudes, rude and the customer is not right. We will not eat here again... read more

We stop here every time we're even close to the area! The staff is always so welcoming and make us feel like family! We've gotten several things from the menu, but would have to say the smoked sausage and apple cobbler are the all-time faves!! Macaroni and cheese is legit as well! Definitely worth traveling out of your way for some quality barbecue/smoked meats. It's in an older building but I don't even notice that anymore! The food & folks inside are top notch!! read more

You can tell a good bbq joint by the delightful aroma of smoked meat and the smiles on the faces of the patrons dining inside. My cousin and I stumbled on this place when we were returning from Bastrop to Monroe. The flume of smoke from their smokers made us make a turn around to their place. We shared what's called "a plate full", and we actually had plenty leftover for another meal. Meat was juicy and very tender, flavorful. We will look for excuses to run errands in Bastrop and feast here again! read more

This restaurant is clean, has good food and courteous staff. I have eaten here several times ordering several different dishes. The food is cooked to order so it is always fresh. I would highly recommend it! read more

Passing through Bastrop, the BBQ sign caught my attention. Very humble inside, but the very sweet staff and delicious smells won me over before I even got my plate. Went with double meat- chicken and ribs. I knew it was legit place when meal came with a piece of white bread! The BBQ was amazing. Cooked perfect- huge smoke ring on the ribs that were firm enough to stay in the bone but melted in my mouth! Chicken was great too. But the star was the BBQ sauce! Sweet and a little spicy. Sides were great too. Definitely two thumbs up!! read more

Wow! If you find yourself in Bastrop, go ahead and do this! The full plate has all 5 meats and is way more than you can handle. I love bbq places that are "off the beaten path" because they always have the best. This is maybe the king of those places! Awesome!!!! read more

Eleven of us stopped in on a whim for lunch during a road trip. The smell of the smokehouse would have led us if we needed it to! Service and food were exceptional!! An older gentleman seemed tickled that we were there and made us feel at home! Husband and I shared the "Plate Full", which consisted of 5 different smoked meats and 2 sides. My favorite was the smoked sausage. Husband says the ribs were his (a close 2nd to me). I couldn't resist a slice of the LemonPoundCake "to go" and, although I tried to remain strong, ate most of it in the parking lot... will definitely go back if were ever passing through again! read more

Chicken is pretty tough, and they don't sell brisket which sucks. I do enjoy the burgers however.

Love their BBQ-- can't go wrong with any cut of meat they sell! Sides are alright. But the cobble, it's off the chain! Service is always friendly, too! read more
