This is the first time I've been here and it is amazing! Please forgive the bites in the picture; I accidentally took a couple of bites before I remembered to take it. The stuffed baked potato is loaded with brisket and HUGE! Don't skip out on the Mesquite popper - it's a bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeño and it has spinach in it so it's healthy right? Didn't try any of the desserts but they say that they're house made so hopefully delicious. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. 2 thumbs up - will definitely return and recommend. read more

Mesquite Bbq Since 1959 - Mesquite popper and loaded Stuffed Baked Potato - Barbeque Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

To say that I am a very harsh food critic would be an understatement. So imagine my surprise when we found this most excellent barbecue joint. It's been in business since 1959 and our opinion is any business that's been around that long must be doing something right. Oh my!! The pork ribs fell off the bone and they were seasoned perfectly. The brisket on a bun was the most meat I've ever seen on one sandwich and it almost needed no chewing. The sides were delicious. We will be back!! read more

I used to live in Mesquite 14 years ago and ate here often. I went back for the first time in many years. I had the 2 meat plate with sausage, brisket, potato salad, macaroni and cheese and a jalapeño popper. Brisket melts like butter, jalapeño is stuffed with chicken and cheese and a little spinach. Everything was amazing 10 out of 10. Super friendly staff. I'll definitely be back sooner than later. read more

Visiting Mesquite Texas? Ya gotta try Texas bbq! This place has been here since 1959 (just in case you're unaware). Easy to find and parking available. A variety of food combos to order with a variety of meat selections. I went the 2 meat combo and grabbed the brisket and ribs. No regrets! (Okay, my only regret is not upgrading to 3 meats for another $1 and adding the pulled pork). But a friend had it so we did a trade so alls well that ends well. Reasonably priced too. Highly recommend. read more

First time ordering from this establishment I ordered the turkey sandwich with load baked potato and sandwich were a nice size. Plenty slices of turkey between the buns. I decided to try the ssandwich first as I picked the sandwich up I smelled gasoline. I took a small bite . I decided to try the potato it was decent. Roughly 5 minutes later I didn't feel well. Went to bed to lie down about 1 minute later I popped up and began to throw up. I am going to throw the sandwich away and hopefully be able to eat the potato another day if the Lord spares my life. read more

Best BBQ in Mesquite. The food is so delicious, smokey flavor. The staff is always super friendly. They offer military and senior discounts. Bring cash, there is a charge for card usage. read more

I stopped in to purchase a container of "chop chop " to satisfy a craving for a BBQ sandwich. They told me if I buy one pound I could get a second for a little over $5. I left with 2 pounds of chopped bbq for about $20. At most BBQ places a single skimpy sandwich is $10. The texture of the meat and flavor were a perfect blend of smoky goodness. The leftover meat was not greasy after sitting in the fridge overnight. I will definitely purchase this again not just for the price but for the excellent flavor of the meat. read more

Been Living in Mesquite for close to 17 years now and this was my first time trying this place. Right off the bat the menu is easy to understan/order. Prices are a bit high but based off quality of food and service provided this is solid. If you want cheap theres a mcdonalds down the road. All the meats were super good and love that they have condiment baskets on the table. Speaking of, their BBQ sauce is amazing, i dislike going to BBQ places and seeing their sauce too watery, anytime you see BBQ too watery thats a tell tell sign that is NOT good BBQ sauce, this place NAILS it. Baked beans are good as well they are not too sweet and mac and cheese was my personal favorite. Same deal, too watery of a mac and cheese is never a good sign. Fries surprised me that they were home made, good portions too. Everything you see in the picture + drink was maybe like 40$. Good price point, good service, great food. read more

Traveled from Florida to Texas for the first time for a convention but during my stay in Mesquite, I couldn't leave without trying Texan Barbecue. I found out about this restaurant via google search of local Mesquite BBQ restaurants. Never tried Mesquite BBQ so I was really excited! I almost shed a tear when I ate my '1 meat Plate' with macaroni & cheese & potato salad of how delicious it was. I ordered the chicken: it was so tender and good! Everything was super delish! All of it was high quality! The staff were very friendly! The whole experience and food was 10/10! read more

Good service and good location. Rich history and stories on the walls. Brisket and sides consistent with expectations for Texas bbq

People are very nice. Food has a great smoke flavor - the most amount of smoke in a brisket I have had.

Food was great. Lots of choices. A little pricey but all bbq is pricey. Service staff was very friendly and quick to refill drinks and bring Togo boxes. read more

Absolutely superb!!! The first bbq we stopped at visiting Texas. I lived in the area when I much younger. Nickolas was great ! He took a few minutes to chat with me about some of the areas that I was trying to remember about my time there . The rest of the staff were all super friendly as well . The food was cooked to perfection ! Fall off of the born ribs, moist chicken and the brisket was so tender. Food had amazing flavor. The price is on point for the amount of that you get. Definitely a must try in the area !! read more

To me Mesquite BBQ pretty much embodies what Texas is all about: A comfortable place with nice folks with the delicious aroma of smoked meats floating through the air. Mix that with easy listening music from country to Fleetwood Mac & I believe I heard Selena a little earlier. This is a cozy place where you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. I had the 3 meat plate with pulled pork, Chop Chop & sausage. Pickles & onions can be picked up at the cash register. No plates that I saw but a metal tray with cutting paper to hold your selection and then placed on top of a plastic tray to carry to your table. My selection came with two sides & I went with potato salad & coleslaw. Both delicious & both served in styrofoam bowls. They have everything from your meat selections to stuffed baked potatoes, frito pie and sandwiches. This was a nice visit & I highly recommend stopping by. The staff is fantastic & polite. Extremely polite. While sitting at my table I was asked no less than four times if everything was ok & if I needed a refill. Just really nice folks. If there is a complaint it's this: The Hallmark Channel was playing on the tv overhead. The sound was off but I know for the fact that Jessica went back to the small town she wrote about for the magazine she works for because of the guy she met for a brief time while she was there and now she can't stop thinking about him. Stupid Jessica. Head..spinning...masculinity....slipping away...AGH! Oh! They also have desserts so be sure to check those out, too....dumb Jessica.... read more

Delicious brisket. Yummy sides. Friendly staff. Definitely a go to for local authentic BBQ!!!

Hmm..... I'm not sure where to start. This place isn't the worst barbecue place I've ever went but it's also very far from the best. The food was okay, the dessert was okay, the location is okay....... Everything is just okay. However, when I want barbecue I want more than okay. Sorry Mesquite Bbq, but I just didn't get the Wow I was looking for but it could've been just my preference. Y'all check them out and see what you think..... read more

Good customer service and good portions as well definitely worth going to if I find myself back in the area

Mesquite BBQ has been open for over 50 years, and they're still making excellent BBQ. I eat here pretty frequently, and I'm never disappointed. The service is always quick and friendly. The dining area is pretty small, and it fills up quickly at lunch, so many people get take-out. The BBQ is really good! I also like to get the baked potato topped with meat. Their homemade desserts are delicious if you manage to save room. read more

the service sucks. people aren't kind. food is terrible don't go it'll be a waste of time

THE BEST brisket in the metroplex, hands down. We love MBBQ!.The brisket is amazing--so Smokey, savory, and melts in your mouth. Great in a sandwich or in a baked potato. The links are tasty. The cream cheese mashed potatoes are out of this world! Even something so simple as the green beans are great. Aside from the food, we regularly encounter the nicest, friendliest, most respectful and attentive staff at MBBQ. It is rare to experience good, old fashioned customer service in this day and age, especially in the food business, and even more so when the staff is made up of young people. As business owner, and loyal patron, I commend the employees for their obvious dedication to their jobs and ALWAYS making my family and friends feel welcome at MBBQ. Mesquite BBQ is worth the drive. You will get hooked! read more

My aunt got it delivered through DoorDash, absolutely phenomenal. Ordered the large family pack with Sliced beef, pulled pork and sausage. Mac & cheese, baked potato casserole, green beans. Buns and the mixed jalapeños, onions and pickles. Oh and banana pudding, strawberry cake and Oreo cake. Super delicious and tender, great flavor. It was eaten up super quickly by my family members. Everything was packaged neatly, thankfully, so nothing spilled. read more

Stopped by Mesquite BBQ since it seemed like a crime to be in Mesquite and not try some smoked meats in the area- this spot was everything I was hoping for and more. We got a 2 meat platter with pork ribs and brisket, which came with 2 sides and Texas toast (we chose fried okra and mac & cheese). The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavorful they didn't need extra sauce! The brisket? Melted in our mouths, with incredibly delicious bark. We liked the fried okra, the mac was just alright, but we weren't there for the sides anyway. You order after lining up and pay at the register, then sit down anywhere. The ladies at the counter were friendly and helpful when we asked for their recommendations- all the desserts are made in-house and they recommended the banana pudding, which was so yummy! The space itself is comfortable and welcoming, and for out-of-towners like myself, a great slice of life in Texas with all the articles and jerseys celebrating the Mesquite Skeeters, the local high school football team- it felt very Friday Night Lights. The walls are full of "Best Of" and "Reader's Choice" awards, and it's easy to see why from how wonderful the food is and the atmosphere overall. Loved my first experience there and wouldn't hesitate to come back or to recommend it to others in the area! read more

I had a chopped brisket sandwich, sausage and mac and cheese. Worst brisket I've ever had, it had no taste and no spice. The sausage had no spices either. Mac and cheese wasn't good. read more

I live in Irving and I am rarely on this side of town but I feel like I have found a gem on the east side of Dallas. This B-B-Q restaurant off Main Street mesquite was delicious and checked all my B-B-Q boxes. The restaurant was clean and covered in different types of memorabilia. The servers were friendly and worked to please. My son doesn't like fatty meat but the server told him it would taste better and would chop it so he couldn't tell. My son loved it. I'm not sure when I'll be back but I hope it's sooner than later. Great food, great people...oh and great desserts! read more

It's a good place. We came here for a meal with a friend, and we were satisfied with the price and quality. Everything was great.

Simply amazing. The absolute best brisket ever. And the chicken - how the heck can they deliver moist chicken with awesome seasoning crust and sweet smoke flavour? Plus, those bacon-wrapped poppers are one of a kind. read more

The best BBQ i've ever had in my life. I actually live in mesquite and had never been here, I've been to all the big name places : Terry Blacks, Hurtado, etc. They don't compare to this place. Great atmosphere, super nice staff, and the food.... THE FOOD !!! read more

Mesquite Bbq Since 1959 - Barbeque Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Pricing is ridiculous. $3.99 for the smallest drink is crazy. Tea is just flavored water. $9.99 for only a sandwich. Staff was very friendly. Probably because they knew how bad they were taking advantage. BBQ is BBQ nothing special or extraordinary. Fries were the bottom of the barrel. More like potato bits. Cole slaw was dry. Not worth $41 for two for lunch. For these prices, it should have been mouthwatering. read more

And the winner is..........MESQUITE BBQ!!!! Seriously, it's been a long time coming, a little over 2 years that I've been looking for BBQ in Texas that I just have to have and actually enjoy eating. This place is the REAL DEAL! First off, all of the employees there were so nice and engaging, I just enjoyed talking to them and telling them about my quest for great BBQ! But let's get to this food. I ordered two plates, one rib plate and one pulled pork sandwich plate. Baked beans on both and one with potato salad, the other with fries. My ribs were phenomenal! They looked good from the start, meaty and fall off the bone tender. But the flavor! So well seasoned that I didn't even need sauce, and I love a good sweet and spicy sauce! And although I'm not really a brisket fan, they threw in a sample that was amazing! I'm going back for brisket! As for the sides, the baked beans were just pretty good, I've had better, truthfully. But the potato salad was ON POINT! Absolutely delicious! The pulled pork sandwich was really good too, respectfully. All in all, a great experience and I can hardly wait to try everything else on the menu and discover some possible new favorites! read more
