I love the cheddar sausage and they don't hold back on the beef brisket sandwich; very filling! The BBQ sauces are sensational; 3 types packed with flavor!

Been Living in Mesquite for close to 17 years now and this was my first time trying this place…read more 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.

My friend had been raving about the garlic lamb chops so I finally decided to order them. I had the lamb chops with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The lamb chops were pretty good.

I would highly suggest trying them as I believe they are seasonal.

A real "good 'ol boy" Texas hole in the wall BBQ place…read more We were pre-scouting locations to see the 2024 Eclipse and found this place well rated. I am not sure if they take cash b/c the ordering systems (surprisingly) was via kiosk. (looked like the couple in back was doing food and made this choice to save on a cashier- not sure if they even would take cash - but it sure seems like the type of place that would) It was a Thursday around 11:10 - and they already had a few customers in back. The vibe was EXACTLY what you want - they were even playing this local country station and I had never ever heard any of the songs, really old school and I loved it. Hubbs "smitty" brisket sandwich was the clear winner - though the raw jalapeños were a bit much for me- the roll was perfection, a little sweet and extra soft and chewy, also larger than most sandwiches. My pork rib plate was pretty good, the beans and mac and cheese were nothing special. I will say the ribs were greatly enhanced by their BBQ sauce on the side. Bill was $32. I had read about some desserts here - but the only offing that say was slices of pecan pie - they looked very good and jam-packed with pecans - but we resisted.

We opted for a pair of 3 meat platters at $16 per plate--lean brisket, ribs and rib tips, links, and the mandatory sides of baked beans and potato salad. The sides were sides, but Meshack's is definitely about the meat. The links had good snap and the ribs were well prepared, separating cleanly at the bite. Both had a flavor profile pleasantly tilted to the peppery side (just the way we like it). The brisket had nice bark and pink ring, but the central Texas rub didn't really kick in until we had them for dinner some 8 hours later. We were happy with the food here, and look forward to another visit. It was fun talking 'cue with Donna, who took good care of us during our visit-- our 99th BBQ stop in Texas, and the 399th nationwide.

It was a full-on spread. Before I even walked in, the place smelled amazing. Inside was clean and dialed. When you're ordering this much food, you half expect some chaos -- but nope. Everything was packed up, organized, and ready to go. Efficient, friendly, no stress. The brisket was fantastic -- tender, flavorful, gone fast. The mac & cheese was a heavy hitter. Definitely one of the first sides to disappear. Hot links had great flavor and the right kick. And the cream corn? That one surprised me. It had a little heat to it that I wasn't expecting, but it worked. Different in a good way. Feeding seven adults isn't small math, and Soulman's made it easy. I'm glad we took the family recommendation because this one's staying in the rotation. Solid BBQ. Zero drama. Exactly what you want.
