EVERYTHING WENT WELL! We showed up on a rainy day had no idea about this place. We were actually going into the store next-door. There was a line outside the door even though it was raining so we asked what the big deal was and everybody was like you gotta try this place so after we got finished shopping next-door, we went there. We come to Sulphur Springs all the time and never heard about this place. Everyone was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. The beans were like no beans I had ever had before and they were so good everything we tried, which was a lot of everything was very good. I don't think anything we had was bad or even average. It was an over the top kind of meal! Just get a little of everything. read more

We went here since it was on the top 50 list. Boy oh boy, we were not disappointed. This place is a gem right near downtown Sulphur springs. The people at the counter who greeted us were super friendly and thankful that we stopped by on our road trip from Dallas. We ordered fatty brisket, ribs, sausage, a texas twinkie, the illustrious Brussels sprouts, tater tot casserole, and potato salad. Everything was really good. The brisket was smoked nicely getting a really good render. I like it all little saltier and more spiced personally, but it was really good. The ribs seem like the house specialty. They are spare ribs and have a really good glaze on them. Fall off the bone and perfectly seasoned. The sausage was fine. All the sides were excellent. Brussels are about as good as they can get. The potato salad was creamy and rich. The tater tot casserole was interesting. Kinda pasty but still really good. I thought it needed some crunch but that could be because the way they hot hold it. We will be back every time we are in sulfur springs. This is top notch Texas BBQ! read more

We came across this when we were driving from Lake Fork to Dallas and we were so surprised! We ordered the two-meat platter and everything was delicious. We went here for Sunday lunch around 11am and the line wasn't super long. They served everyone very quickly and the brisket was delicious! They had a very casual setting with a classic Texas BBQ ambiance! read more

We've lived and traveled all over Texas for 33 years and have been to TONS of bbq places. This is by far the best bbq place. I got the chopped brisket with tater tots casserole and charro beans. Everything was so delicious, the meat was so tender, I could not stop eating until it was all gone. Way too full!!! Worth the drive from Dallas! read more

The real Can sugar sodas were good. You won't be disappointed come early and come now!! read more

Slaughter's BBQ - 3 meat brisket, ribs and Serrano cheddar sausage. DELICIOUS!! - Barbeque Near Me - Sulphur Springs, Texas

"We came for lunch, but left with a PhD in boudinology." TL;DR: Slaughter's BBQ in Sulphur Springs knows how to put meat on a tray and a smile on your face. Brisket was barked-up brilliance, ribs were sweet-glazed sorcery, and that brisket boudin? That was smoked poetry in a casing. Quick service, friendly folks, and zero sides because legends eat lean and fast when they're chasing four joints in a day. Stop two on our East Texas meat-a-palooza was Slaughter's BBQ. After Big D and I rolled out of our first joint with grease-stained grins and meat sweats in progress, we cruised into Sulphur Springs and hit the brakes right in front of BBQ greatness. The name might be Slaughter's, but the only thing getting hurt here was my self-control. We stepped up to the counter like cowboys walking into a saloon with serious purpose. 11:30 AM. A short line. No sides. Just meat. We ordered brisket, pork ribs, and their house brisket boudin. It was unspoken meat magic. That brisket? Barked to perfection with a smoke ring that looked like it had been kissed by the East Texas sun. Juicy, peppery, and sliced like a dream. The ribs were lacquered with a sweet-savory glaze that grabbed my taste buds by the collar and said, "You're staying right here." Tender with a light tug, no mushy mess. Just right. But the boudin. Good heavens. That brisket boudin hit different. Juicy, spicy, and loaded with flavor so rich I almost Venmo'd it rent money. It was a sleeper hit that nearly stole the whole show. The tray was stacked like a minimalist meat sculpture: no mac, no slaw, no distractions. Just pickles, onions, and bread for structure. My side dish queen would've raised an eyebrow at the lack of sides, but even she would've bowed down to that boudin. I might've heard her say, "Okay, that's worth skipping the corn casserole for." High praise. The staff was warm, the wood was rustic, and the BBQ was bold. The Texas Monthly Top 50 banner was flapping proudly. Stamp count: 19 down, 31 to go. Next stop: back in the truck, more brisket to chase, and more boudin dreams to ponder. My cholesterol called and said, "Sean, what's the plan here?" I said, "Survival. Barely." Final Dad Line: If this BBQ joint were any better, it'd be required by law to come with a nap and a non-disclosure agreement. read more

Had such a great experience at Slaughter's BBQ in Sulphur Springs, TX! The brisket was incredibly moist and full of smoky flavor--just the way good Texas BBQ should be. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, and the loaded potato salad was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Everything tasted homemade and satisfying. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! read more

I try and eat here when I come to town. Best bbq I've had in Texas. Definitely will return!

Best BBQ in East Texas. Specials and sides add to just great standards.. Come early, they will sell out

First trip to Texas and first time to Slaughter's. Hands down the best BBQ I have ever had. We tried a bit of everything. My son had the Apricot Glazed Pork Chop and we did t even know a pork chop could taste like that. The sides are also amazing! Mac-n-Cheese , Pea Salad and Beans were amazing. You can't leave without a Banana Pudding, made daily. Best thing ever. The owner and staff are so kind. Can't wait to go back. Get there early, they sell out!. read more

As a family of 4 we shared a 3 meat platter with two sides and added a Boudin and extra side. For meat we had the pulled pork, ribs and fatty side brisket. All of them were wonderful. My so loved the brisket, my daughter loved the boudin. For sides we had the beans, tater casserole and mac n cheese. All were a hit. If you are in Sulphur Springs this is a must stop. BUT, make sure you go early because once they are out they are closed. I love this because you know the food is fresh and the quality is high. Thanks so much for a great and affordable meal. We all walked out full and had plenty of food for two adults and two teenagers. read more

One of the best barbecue places without doubt! I've always come across amazing barbecue restaurants in the small towns of Texas. Slaughter's used to be a food truck and have recently moved into this new place. The ambience is perfect with indoor and outdoor seating options. Friendly service with a smile. The owner was behind the counter which speaks to the quality of food and service. You place the order, pay and pick up your tray. They offered a free beer for each order too, which was a cool deal. Now for the food - the brisket was amazing. The grits are legit. My most favorite was the Jalapeño salad. The barbecue sauce was good but I highly recommend their bbq mustard sauce. Reasonably priced for some real good food. Will I return? : For sure! read more

Awesome food. Cool building in downtown area. Great side dishes. Definitely will be back

4.5 stars- helpful staff, laid back atmosphere, and bbq worth the honorable mention in Texas Monthly's 2021 top BBQ issue. Everything was smoked to perfection, not too much smoke though, just enough. The sides were the perfect compliment. The shining star of the sides was definitely the Mac and cheese. We were thankful to have grabbed the last of it. Highly recommend this BBQ joint. No doubt it will eventually rank in Texas Monthly's top 50 soon! read more

Slaughter's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Sulphur Springs, Texas

Slaughter's absolutely lives up to the hype as a Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ joint! 2 guests in our party today. One went with the BBQ brisket plate (fork-tender like prime rib) with tater tot casserole and pinto beans, and the other order was smoked turkey (smoked to perfection), tater tot casserole, and roasted brussel sprouts with bacon. Oh. My. Goodness.... So good! Be sure to get the delicious potato bread, homemade pickles, both kinds of bbq sauce, the special sauce for the brussel sprouts, and the refreshing iced tea. Abigail and Junior fixed us up and were so friendly and fun. We also lucked into some really awesome live music (think George Strait). Indoor and outdoor dining. Great atmosphere. read more

I visited Slaughter's BBQ for the first time in their new location. The welcoming aroma of smoked meats was the first thing I noticed as I walked through the door. Orders are placed and paid for at the counter. The hardest part about it was deciding the meat and side options. The employees were friendly and inviting. Sulphur Springs needed a place like this! Great job Slaughter's BBQ! This is a definite RECOMMEND! read more

We got the trinity platter for the variety all was delicious. Be ready to wait there is a line. Good food is worth the wait.

Well today was my lucky day. The power had gone out where we live and we were not sure the official time it would be back on so we ran into SS to grab lunch. Today was the first day Slaughters was opened up in their new building!! Atmosphere Great looking building they did a great job fixing it up. Rustic/industrial look with old wood, metal signs, etc. Service: No concerns or real big comments; you pay the front and take your food with you. Food: Came in at 1245 and no joke, only meats available were pork and brisket, sides Brussels and potato salad. So brisket with the two sides is what we got lol. It was good, no complaints from me. Brisket was nice and tender, juicy and had a good flavor. Slaughter's has been in SS for quite a while and with the new larger location I can bet that most days to come will be like today. 11-3 (sold out) but if you wait until later in the afternoon you might not get what you are hoping to, so get there EARLY. Sorry I didnt get any pictures as it was already gone before I thought about it :| They do have a FB page and have posted pictures along with videos if you are interested. https://www.facebook.com/Slaughtersbbqoasis/ read more

Took a drive from my Dad's near Greenville out to Slaughter's in Sulphur Springs today for a spot that's been on my radar since the beginning of '22. I wasn't super hungry, so I got a 1-meat plate with brisket and charro beans and smoked crawfish cornbread for sides. Brisket was done super well IMO...smoky with a peppery bark on the meat. Had the right balance of meat/fat mixture, too. Charro beans were legit, but be warned if you don't like spicy. The smoked crawfish cornbread was also super tasty, though I would have liked a few more chunks of meat it my cut. All in all, Slaughter's gets a solid from me and I would gladly visit again. read more

Our family was camping at Cooper State Park over Easter weekend and were looking for somewhere to eat lunch and escape the incoming storm. Thankfully Slaughter's was open on Easter Sunday and still had food left. (They usually close on Sundays when they run out of food.) Three of us had the brisket sandwich with a side of loaded potato salad. They were both fantastic! The beef was juicy and flavorful, one of the best briskets I've had in a very long time. They do not skimp on portions. Our fourth person had the turkey sandwich and said that it was good as well. We enjoyed their mash up of a loaded potato in potato salad form. It was yummy! The service was friendly and efficient. We loved Sulphur Springs and will definitely be back for more BBQ. read more
