Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 so we had to drop by North Texas Smoke. I knew that this place was popular and might sell out fast so I started calling and DM this place as we really did want so brisket. The problem occurred when we showed up and were told that they were out of Brisket. After a brief conversation with the lady taking orders and the pit master they were able to find us some chopped and sliced brisket, THANK YOU. The brisket was good as were the ribs but the star of the show was the boudin. We got our order to go. So the process is order and pay out 1 window then wait to hear your name so that you can get your order. When we visited the place was hard to find and we drove past it once as they did not have a sign. It's a nice place and the food was good. My recommendation try hard to order early and call them several times before they run out of brisket.
So, not sure how many times I have been here now, but it's a lot; going back over the prior year. Biggest challenge for me is hours of operation. They are currently only open a few days a week for a few hours on those select days. Bummer. I'm not going to get into whether or not this place is good, I've already addressed it in prior reviews and updates; in one word it's 'stellar'. The proprietor; Derek has done a tremendous job moving from very small outlet to a very cool large restaurant facility. I took five people there on Saturday and it was a great experience. Derek personally brought the food out. We chatted for a bit, I congratulated him on his growing his business. He said in one day, he does more revenue than he did in a weeks time at his prior "to go" only location. Good for him, he's a true American success story that clearly busted his butt to build his business. If only we had more of those. He's got a great formula. I can't criticize anything he's done; even the bathrooms are spotless and top notch. Whoever built out the plumbing in his place is truly an artist, you have to look at the details, it's not a budget operation. Kudos to this guy for killing it and putting a great crew together. If you haven't tried it you're doing yourself a disservice. If I'm disappointed about one thing, it's the fact he doesn't have those tallow based salted chocolate chip cookies anymore; at least that I could tell. I forgot to ask him about it. He may have had trouble getting consistent quality from his baker, but they were just absolutely awesome and a hell of a deal in my opinion. Pro Tip: I mentioned that I had a pellet grill and I wasn't able to get enough smoke flavor into the meat. It turns out he started on the same one I have. I've got a Yoder YS 640 competition model. He gave me some solid pointers. I can't wait to try them. It will never be as good as his, but hopefully I can improve.
Darn good BBQ! I was worried that they would be sold out since I came late, but they still had almost everything. I don't know how these places do it. The brisket is so much better than anything I have ever made and they are so humble about it. There was no line for me and my food came out quick. I did come on a day that had boudin as a special and I'm glad I got it. They know what they are doing with their boudin, it was very good.
My wife and I reviewed North Texas Smoke BBQ in Decatur, Tx. This is our 47th of 50 Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ places visited. Review: North Texas Smoke BBQ - Decatur's Highway 287 Treasure North Texas Smoke BBQ, a proud recipient of the prestigious Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ award, operates out of a highly-praised food truck just off Highway 287 in Decatur. This is more than just a quick stop--it's a destination. With ample outdoor seating and parking, the environment is welcoming, backed by a very friendly staff who are clearly passionate about their craft and well-connected in the BBQ community. Every item served is homemade, and the quality shines through in this exceptional spread. The Smoked Meats The meat selection at North Texas Smoke is executed with high-level pit mastery: * Brisket: The brisket delivered on moisture and flavor. It was very moist and juicy, boasting a good smoke ring and a bark that was commendably good and firm. The only critique was that the bark was a little salty for my personal taste, slightly overwhelming the beef's natural flavor. * Spare Ribs: These ribs were juicy and deeply flavorful. They were mostly tender, retaining the desired bite that indicates proper doneness--although they did not fall off the bone. They were slightly tough near the edges, but the majority of the rib was excellent. * Jalapeño & Cheddar Sausage: A solid link with a great foundation. The casing had a nice snap, which is a sign of a perfectly cooked sausage. While the flavor was good, the grind was not as loose as it should be for that classic Texas texture, making it feel a little denser than expected. * Boudin Sausage: This was a clear standout and highly innovative. It featured an excellent mixture of smoked brisket and fragrant jasmine rice, creating a beautiful balance of smoke and starch. The link offered nice texture and flavors, encased in a great casing that held everything together beautifully. The Bold and Homemade Sides North Texas Smoke goes above and beyond with sides that are both creative and perfectly executed: * Pork Belly Fried Rice: This is a fantastic, spicy creation. The base of basmati rice was delicious and provided all the right textures. It had a nice spicy kick and was generously mixed with tender pork belly, corn, peas, egg, and carrots. A highly memorable side dish. * Street Corn: Absolutely awesome. The fresh corn was incredibly creamy, coated in a delightful spice combination of savory cotija cheese and bright bursts of jalapeño bits. It's the perfect blend of creamy, salty, and spicy heat. * Loaded Potato Salad: Served cold, this traditional side was done perfectly. It was properly "loaded" with generous amounts of cheddar cheese, crisp bacon, sharp red onion, and fresh chives. A classic side that provided a cool, refreshing counterpoint to the hot smoke. Final Thoughts North Texas Smoke BBQ deserves all the accolades. The meat program is strong, anchored by a moist brisket and flavorful spare ribs, while the Boudin Sausage stands out as a unique signature item. However, the true difference-maker is the quality and creativity of the homemade sides. This is a top-tier Texas BBQ experience delivered with authenticity and warmth.
I come here for the smash burgers & I fear that maybe a crime given this is a BBQ spot lol! I know their BBQ is great, don't get me wrong, but their smash burgers are what steal the show for me! They are consistent and delicious EVERY TIME. I also love the elote & the banana pudding!! This place is worth the hype 100%.
The faces are smiling & so glad to see you, the food is what BBQ dreams are made of, the brisket is juicy and tender, the boudin is loaded with flavor, the smash burger is so perfectly juicy and savory that you don't actually need any sauce for it, the loaded potato salad is creamy, chunky, sweet AND tangy, all in one flavor packed bite. Absolute perfection on every level. Grab a table and play some cornhole while you wait, the fresh air makes for the perfect lunch break!
Starting off my tour of the top 50 BBQ joints in Texas is North Texas Smoke. Housed in a large trailer with smokers in and around it, grill inside for smash burgers and the like. I love the 1,000 gallon smoker and only wish I could wrangle the 500 gallon backup. Menu on the wall. Specials listed as they should be, made it easy to see what to order; I had the Texas Trinity, with cheese grits and Mac & Cheese. My link choice was brisket boudin which was also the special today. My wife order the chopped beef sandwich with street corn side. Both came with pickles, pickled red onions, and bbq sauce. Service was fast and the had dining outside but looks like most orders are takeaway, as we did today. After a 45 minute drive home, here is the results. Ribs were very good, competition style with a little pull but tender. Good bark and plenty of meat. The brisket was about 3/8" slice with a very thin fat cap. Not quite as tender as Franklins but great bark, taste and servings size. The Boudin sausage was excellent, soft texture due to rice filling, salty, and the brisket came through well. Cheese grits side Was very good, with a nice savory flavor and a cheese bite that was satisfying. Mac & Cheese was good but lacked a defining taste. Pickled red onions were excellent and the sauce was a vinegar base that zinged your tastebuds. A little goes a long way. The chopped beef was served with a huge pile of brisket on the side of a toasted bun. The wife said it was very, very good. Her street corn tasted very fresh and was a good bite. The star of her dish was the Texas Rattler; a stuffed jalapeño cooked perfectly and tasted excellent. Overall good start for my tour of the Top 50.
Come for the brisket, stay for the ribs, and leave with a tattoo... or at least a shirt of one. TL;DR: I drove solo on a Friday to Decatur for lunch and left wondering if I should just go ahead and move there. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone magic. The vibe? Smoke, smiles, and sausage with a handshake. You want real-deal Texas BBQ with a side of greatness? You come here. Derek's got the pitmaster swagger of a rockstar and the beard to match. Well butter my brisket and call me satisfied! North Texas Smoke isn't just a name, it's a culinary warning label; because once you've tasted it, your taste buds might file a complaint against every other BBQ joint in a 100-mile radius. Rolled up around 11 a.m. on a solo BBQ pilgrimage, and wouldn't you know it, no line, no wait, just pure smoked destiny. I ordered like a man on a mission: brisket, pork ribs, and sausage (because let's be honest, restraint is for salads). For sides, I went with street corn and loaded potato salad. Minutes later, my tray came out like it had a jetpack strapped to it. Fast, friendly, and freakin' fantastic. Let's talk ribs. Y'all. These ribs didn't fall off the bone, they moonwalked off. Saucy, smoky, and tender enough to make a grown Texan tear up in the wind. The brisket had bark that barked back (with love), and the sausage? Snapped like fireworks on the Fourth of July. That street corn? Creamy, spicy, and topped with enough jalapeño to remind you this is Texas. The loaded potato salad? So good I checked to see if my mom had secretly moved to Decatur and got a job in the back. Before I left, I got to chat with pitmaster Derek, a legend in the makin'. He's taken a trailer and turned it into a holy site for meat lovers. Word is he's building out a permanent spot, and buddy, I'll be back opening day with a folding chair and a fork. Bonus points: his T-shirts are inspired by his own tattoo, and yes, it is spectacular! So do yourself a favor. Put this joint in your BBQ GPS, shake Derek's hand, and treat your mouth to a Texas treasure.
I am really sorry to be one of the only 4 star ratings. But I have to be honest here First off it's hard to find! Look for the little food truck behind the tractor place! I thought it did add to the ambience, but I did drive around more than I wanted. The staff was amazing, very helpful in answering our questions, helping us make our order, and letting me poke around the smokers, taking a look at the next days briskets. (They were beautiful) My wife and I ordered a two meat plate with two sides. We got the ribs and the brisket with the Mac & cheese and the Cowboy beans. Surprise- here it was 11 o'clock and they had already sold out of the mac & cheese. They were in the process of making more, but that was going to be a good 20 minutes later. She ended up getting the loaded, baked potato salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed. My only issue was that the ribs were a little undercooked. The meat did not pull off of the bone cleanly. The taste was good. They were a little bit tough. Why I did 4 stars. OK The brisket was the absolute BOMB!! I have eaten Barbecue from Houston to Amarillo and San Antonio to Texarkana! That had to be in my top three briskets I have ever eaten!! It might be the absolute best. It is Absolutely worth the drive to go out to Decatur to eat here. Maybe I just had a bad rib day, but the brisket was fantastic worth the trip all on its own.
You don't want to miss this Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ spot in Decatur, Texas off 287 before you get to 380. The brisket is definitely going to be one of the best you've had! Brisket Boudin is one of their specialty sausages and you are going to want to bring some of this home. Be sure to pitstop here, if you're driving down 287. VETERAN OWNED business and they are almost finished with their restaurant that's going up right behind where their food truck is right now. Grab a free Lone Star Beer. North_texas_smoke

First of all what a hidden gem and honestly never knew about this place till I just happened to chat gpt spots to eat in Decatur. Was visiting for the day and figured why not I love a good challenge. Boy did it not disappoint the outside well let me back up its hidden in a parking lot of some establishments that I can't remember off the top of my head but when you arrive just know you gotta keep an eye out for this place. The staff was super friendly and very welcoming the ordering prices was nice as well very clear cut and doesn't make you feel rushed. Service was quick to I got it to go and it was right at open but I can tell at any moment this place will be popping. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was amazing as were the ribs. The rub on it was fantastic it was euphoric but man only two pieces. The Mac and cheese for me is the star even though I like my Mac and cheese like a cardi b song the bread crumbs made up for it. Now the downside. The banana pudding. I'm a stickler for a banana pudding. This isn't it yall. Skip it at five dollars it's just not worth it. No nilla waffers not actual banana pieces in it. No layered whip. Just it's not my thing it might be for some but my banana pudding standards are thru the roof. The ambiance is great plenty of seating inside and looks amazing. From the outside you'll be like what the heck but once inside you'll feel like man I'm here for something special. Minus the banana pudding. What a great find and this town is lucky to have this place in its home. read more

I'm a pitmaster who works in the Texas top 50 scene, so believe me when I tell you North Texas Smoke is putting out excellent bbq, at a reasonable price, with great customer service. The Frito chili was spicy but not over the top with great flavor lots of meat, no beans (thankfully). Turkey was moist and tender, they use good soft buns for their sandwich. Ribs were porky not overly seasoned allowing the meat to sing. Was able to take easy bites without the meat completely falling off the bone. Brisket was very smoky, more smoky than most restaurants in Texas. The fat was rendered and yellow as it should be, smoke ring on meat side of the brisket, and intramuscular fat wasn't completely cooked out of the moist side of the brisket. Solid salt and pepper based brisket. Brisket boudin was beefy and delicious, and the texture was that of a boudin link. Mac and cheese was good, loaded potato salad had cheese and I believe bacon mixed throughout if you like potato salad you'll be happy. The elote is definitely the don't miss side. It's slightly sweet slightly spicy, creamy served with jalapeños don't sleep on it (my next trip I'll be ordering the brisket elote.) Well done north Texas smoke. If I had any negative criticism it would be the navigation to the food trailer, my navigation didn't take me to their location but instead sent me 100 yards up the road to the tractor store. North Texas smoke is directly next door to the Honda shop in case anybody is having issues with directions. read more
