    Sausage from the Balch Springs location. Dry leathery not good
    Steven J.

    This location unlike other locations by the same name has good moist sausages. With friendly staff that's happy to help and show us the cuts before we pay.

    This place has it all whether you want to come in and sit down for a hot meal or get snacks for on the go or walk around and look for some toys, souvenirs and trinkets. I thought I was just going to purchase gas, take a quick restroom break and get a snack. When I opened the door my eyes and ears changed my mind. There's fudge, truffles, candy, cakes, pies, cookies, salads and deli sandwiches. All said to be made fresh daily! I ended up perusing the store for over an hour and running my mouth with management in the restaurant and the store. Everything was so well organized and smells wonderful! Whoever the designer is, kudos to you!! You know your marketing niche! Although the restaurant prices were a little high it's worth it and typical for the taste and offerings. The gas station part does offer cold selections that are labeled and you can microwave since the restaurant closes at 11pm. I bought Chicken Fajita Wraps at $6.99 (3) very large from refrigerated section. There's also home decor available for purchase....

    Mediocre at best. Headed to TN, and had to stop to use the restrooms. Since we were hungry and this place appeared to be pretty popular we opted to grab a bite to eat as well. This is a store with several different food options. There is a sonic inside, the BBQ spot, and then a dessert/deli option. We ordered from the BBQ spot. I had a chicken plate with collard greens and a pea salad. My boyfriend had a catfish plate with zucchini and broccoli rice. The chicken was charred and dry. Not sure why they over cooked it. I wish I would have taken a picture. The greens taste like they came out of a can, the pea salad was the only thing I can give kudos to. I tried my boyfriends fish. It has a very thick breading on it with a good flavor. However, it is salty. He enjoyed the cornbread and his sides. I did grab two macaroons from the dessert section. They are not homemade and taste a little stale. Neither flavor tasted like the actual flavor, I had pistachio and hazelnut. Just not worth the calories. The only saving grace for this place is the service. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. If you are not picky about your food, this place will suffice. I love a good tasting meal, so for me it's a no!

    This is a mega-convenience store with a barbecue restaurant and a Sonic and and and! This store has everything. Cakes, pots, barbecue, is like a mini-store with everything. I'm bringing to know what they say everything in Texas is bigger. I found vegan beef jerky, gourmet chocolate, fudge, etc. And I had the opportunity to sample a rib. Not bad, but not my favorite.

    5-star accolades.

    Have eaten here three times now. Lots to choose from. Lots of homemade (?) desserts and candies and truffles! Oh my! Choice of meats and veggies. Liked it very much. Something for everyone. Was told it was better before the pandemic and less expensive. Used to have more condiments/sauce choices/toppings i.e. jalapenos. Still worth a stop. Just have a big stash of cash.

    Really nice nice place to stop on my way back home to NOLA. They have a sonic, BBQ joint, jerky station, clean bathrooms and of course gas. This is the only gas station that offers my favorite beef jerky...ghost pepper beef jerky!! Omg talk about a wake up kick when driving.

    Definitely the best place I could've chosen for my first place arriving to Texas. Loved the ribs and the potatoes. I've always been skeptical about Mac n cheese but the bbq sauce is what made everything come together perfectly.

    The food was incredible. Definitely recommend the 2 side 4 meats Plate that way you can taste all the meats they have. The sauce was very delicious. All the flavors were super good. Not bad for a bbq in side the market.

    This is really hard to get down!!! The driest brisket I've had on this side of Texas!!! 2/10 won't try again!!

    Sliced brisket sandwich

    I've been thinking about this review for a couple of days, trying to decide how many stars to award. They are better than three, but not quite a four when you think about the totality that is Texas Barbecue. In the end, I realized that there are two main types of Texas 'que, and they should not be compared. Central Texas style is King, and better than any other styles anywhere. That said, East Texas style is quite good too, hence the four stars. The brisket sandwich I had was quite tasty, with very little fat. The sauce to go on it was sweet, thin, and smoky and paired beautifully with the meat. Additionally, the pinto beans were quite good; a bit on the spicy side, but flavorful nonetheless. My wife had a loaded baked potato, that was very tasty and large, but a tiny bit underdone. All in all, it was well worth the stop. Having driven in from Dallas to attend a funeral nearby, it was a great alternative to any other choices we might have made. I have a cousin that lives nearby and it is one of her favorite places. Well done!

    YES! Go, eat and be merry!…read more The Flying Pig sandwich is REALLY as good as they say, it's pork and turkey chopped and mixed together. They have different kinds of bbq sauces you can add on top and they have a steaming pot of chili waiting for you included when you dine-in. Their sweet tea is so good, btw! For sides, we ordered the smoked cabbage (it has sausage in it, so theres a bit of heat to it, super good!), and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is delicious as well!! You can't go wrong with whatever you order. The servers are friendly and helpful! Thank yall for a superb meal! A big thumbs up!! P.s. it's pronounced "DUB-yuhs" like the letter 'W' with an 'S' at the end! You're welcome! Haha

The meat is juicy and tender! Absolutely perfect! If you want to try the barbecue sauces - truly I recommend all of them. Each one is very different from the others. The meat has so much flavor - you don't need much sauce. I personally dipped the prongs of my fork in the sauce and that was perfect! If you like traditional barbecue sides, Dubya's will surprise you! The smoked cabbage is insane! So much flavor, and a little bit of kick! The green beans are marinated in flavor! And the house pinto beans are good enough to make a meal out of! They also serve excellent fresh sweet tea!

    Travelers along Interstate 30 can get Texas barbecue in just about every town between Texarkana and…read moreDallas so what sets them apart? If they can't smoke brisket, they wouldn't be in business so for me, it's the sides. That's what made Jojack's special for me. Yes, you can get beans. Everyone has beans. But not everyone offers broccoli salad or sweet bacony Brussels sprouts. Jojack's are delicious! Also, a tip for out-of-towners: the best thing about Texas barbecue is that brisket. I used to try to be "healthy" by ordering smoked chicken and I was always disappointed. If you want chicken, get fried somewhere else. If you want barbecue, get the brisket here (to be fair, the hubs also liked Jojack's sausage options). To be "healthy," I opted for brisket-topped loaded baked potato. The potato was baked perfectly, and even the skin was yummy. I loaded my potato myself at the condiment bar so I got exactly what I wanted (plus some tasty pickled onions AND barbecue sauce!) The decor is cute and clean with corrugated tin accents and lots of eat-in tables. They appeared to be busy at the drive-through so that's an option if you're in a hurry. Servers were friendly and efficient. Oh! And they have a wide selection of bottled beers (for your passengers at least!)
