Excellent food, many choices, great service. Seated very quickly and server was a pro. The prices are way better than California. They have an all you can eat family dinners starting around $40.00 per person. That's a deal. When I visit again, I will stop by. Forgot to mention, this place was recommended. read more

Good food and service. Portions are large, so expect take home containers. Potato salad is amazing. Beans were much tastier this time. The extra charge for the 2nd cut brisket is NOT worth it. Mine was actually chewy, which was disappointing. The sausage is great. I wish they would make a spicy sausage. BBQ sauce is good as well. The vibe of the place is inviting and relaxing. This place has a full bar, if that is your jam. read more

Been here numerous times before, but tonight (Thursday) and I wish we would've went to another place. The specialty bread that they're famous for half of It was good, half of it was not. They comped us half a loaf, but the food was just mediocre tonight. read more

The State Line - Bread - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Their beef ribs are super. The barbecue sauce on the side is tasty and not overwhelming. I definitely will go again.

The service was good. Decor was outdated and the food was below average. I was looking forward to having bbq as it is not my go to choice of cuisine. Our waiter Jacob truly made this dining experience bearable. He was patient, kind, and personable. The food was a huge miss. All of the sides were bland and lacked flavor. The beans tasted like they were undercooked and seasoned with taco seasoning. I prefer baked beans with my bbq. The coleslaw and potato salad were not good. The only thing I enjoyed was the sausage. The chicken and brisket were disappointing, lacked flavor, and did not taste like bbq. I would not go back. read more

Every time we visit family in El Paso we stop here. Tonight's visit was great as always. I am allergic to mesquite wood so I need to make sure they didn't use it. The waitress didn't know but the manager came over to talk to us about (they don't usually). He even came back two other times while we were there. The place is cute. We will of course be back. read more

***check in to get free sausage appetizer*** Ordered the 2 meat combo with potato salad and beans. Lived. Those sides were so Delicious! I was initially bummed cuz I was hoping to get mashed potatoes, but then changed my mind when I tasted their sides! So yummy! Had the pulled pork and brisket. Pulled pork had some bones in it. That brisket was so good! Definitely get that. The free bread the other was warm and fluffy. They have their own honey butter which is subtle but good. read more

State line has been a decent go to spot for BBQ for as long as I can remember. Pork ribs are fantastic, their sausage is great, desserts are on point. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Today we got a lunch 3 meat combo with a baked tater, also beef ribs, pork ribs and potatoes salad. If you check in through the yelp app, you get a prompt for free sausage appetizer. We had a great meal, only thing for me was the beef ribs just didn't have much meat on them and no smoke flavor you'd expect. read more

We stopped by for lunch today .. my elderly dad and myself. He's got some handicaps and I'm so grateful to the staff for making it easier for him by fixing up a place to eat in the bar area (after asking me) that was close to exit and restrooms. Made it WAY easier for both of us. Ordered the lunch ribs plate and Brisket plate and it was perfect. Bbq sauce excellent and our waiter (bar tender) spot on in kindness, professional and took great care of us. Thankful we were able to come in to a spot we've always enjoyed and experience such great all around service!!!! Thank you, Kevin read more

I tried a few BBQ places in El Paso. This one was one of the best! Cool place apparently right on the line of New Mexico and Texas. I got food to go for supper. I was really happy with the quick service in the place. The food was really good. I got sausage, pork and turkey. All was really moist and flavorful. The Slaw and Potato salad were fine. The roll with honey butter was really good! Great BBQ place in EL Paso! read more

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired -- primarily due to poor service and a lack of basic customer care. To start, our server got the order wrong. Mistakes happen, and that's understandable. However, the way it was handled was less than professional. When the customer realized one of the meat portions was missing from an entrée, instead of simply bringing out the missing item, the server insisted that a couple of pieces of meat from the original plate be returned to the kitchen- came with a side plate and asked to withdraw two strands of brisket. This was a strange and awkward request -- I guess they would rather throw it away or maybe put it back! instead of just correcting the issue and returning the entire plate! To make matters worse, the older woman in our group had thoughtfully ordered a child's plate -- which was supposed to include ice cream. When she politely requested the kids' desserts, the server refused, saying, "That's where we draw the line," as if giving ice cream to children would somehow bankrupt the establishment and had been asking for handout from the beginning . It was said in a way that felt curt and dismissive, and it left a sour note on what should've been a simple and joyful. I can assure you if the table was with all White customers this would not have happened! read more

Good friendly service. Everyone here is super friendly and they have a huge selection of meats. Food was filling and good.

The bread was very tasty serving sizes are good,good vibes has nice waiters right on the border so you can get away with something's on one side but not the other;extremely silly activity's could occur read more

Awesome portions. Everything has great flavor and super moist. Awesome staff super friendly. We will be back next time in town.

I am not exactly sure what to think of The State Line. I have been here before previous to my yelping days. I don't have a ton to analyze - the meat, BBQ sauce, and bread were good. Otherwise the sides were not the best. I should have substituted for the baked potato. I would return, but I would not order the charro beans, coleslaw, or potato salad on a revisit. The meat is good so focus on that. I will probably return. read more

I've been coming to the State Line every time I'm in El Paso for 30 years. The ambiance is fun, the service fast and friendly, generous portions and great prices. They do an excellent steak, but I nearly always order the beef ribs. They're super meaty, always perfectly cooked and have a nice crust. The sausage is also really tasty. I've never eaten anything here I didn't fully enjoy. If you're in El Paso, give this restaurant a try. You'll not be disappointed. read more

Tried this place out while working in El Paso. It was ok. I don't know if it's because I really wasn't in the mood for bbq or what? It didn't hit the spot for me. It was just ok. I ordered the brisket and sausage with beans and a side of grilled veggies. I will say that the grilled veggies were my favorite! I loved them more than the brisket and sausage. Service was good. The bartender was nice and attentive. The restaurant itself was clean and quiet. I had a late lunch so there was no one there when I went. The bartender did tell me there's live music in the evenings on the patio. I may give it another go if I'm ever in the area, but it's a big maybe. read more

Come get you a cow and chow down. Brought the family here for a great dining experience.

My first overnight stop in beautiful El Paso. However, the State Line needs to be a last stop. Bland, tasteless bbq ribs. They look delicious on the plate and the price was great again no taste. I was approached by the manager he inquired how was my food. I said honestly no taste" I asked is this boiled ribs? he assured me, no that they are grilled for 4 hours after seasoning. The manager said come back in the future and tell the waitress my experience and maybe he would ........ idk what he said after that. Because not coming back nor should you. read more

The State Line - Rib plate - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Our server Alan was amazing! He helped us with the menu and was so attentive. We got the 5 meat plate, ribs beef and pork, lean brisket, chicken, and sausage. Loved the ribs the most, BBQ sauce was sweet with a lil kick. Coleslaw was A1, not a fan of the potato salad but I am picky when it comes to that. THE BREAD WAS SO DIVINE. The restaurant is split between 2 states which is really cool and has a western antique vibe. Will be back for sure. read more

Great barbecue & an even cooler venue...it's literally on the TX/NM State Line. It's really neat because once you leave the parking lot and walk thru the archway to the patio you're no longer in Texas anymore, you're in New Mexico, although you feel like you're in still Texas! And Good News, they ALLOW INDOOR DINING Now! (Covid compliant of course) Although you can dine outside but you won't receive waiter service & you're food will be served in to-go containers. So if you do not want to wait in line, definitely think about this option. We did and only waited 10 minutes to get our food as opposed to waiting an hour for a table inside. They have a great outdoor patio set-up, I'm sure with warmer temps coming they will probably start seating out there as well. The turkey and moist brisket were my two favorites. Both were tender and seasoned well. My buddy ordered the baked potato with chopped beef and it was a more than decent size. While I wouldn't normally think about ordering bread because it's not free, it was worth it! It's made in house and just worth the money! Thick slices & soft with a light sweet buttery flavor...hard to describe, but it was GOOD!! If you haven't heard of it, give it a shot! read more

The waitress was very nice and efficient with the service but that is where the good comments stop. The food was completely uninspiring. I could easily make the same plate of food from the cold cuts and deli section from Walmart!! Since when are St Louis pork ribs served tough like a beef rib? Absolutely zero smoke flavor! Had to drown them in sauce to get thru it. The house sausage looked and tasted like it was cut from plastic packaging from the Walmart across the street. The sides left much to be desired. Save yourself the disappointment and go to Desert Oak across town. Its worth the drive! read more

I have been going to the State Line since 1983. I have never been disappointed in the food. You do have to select what day and time you go to get the best service. They easily accommodate large parties, you just have to make the reservation in advance. I make out there as least once a year for special occasions. With the new liquor store added in, you can find some rare liquors and the prices are reasonable. read more

For the last 14 years I have been listening to my boyfriend gush about this place. So, when traveling from North Carolina to El Paso for the first time together, the first place we went was The State Line. We arrived just as they were opening, and we had our dog with us and it was starting to get warm, so leaving her in the car would have been an issue. They let us sit on the gorgeous patio. This patio makes me want to come back when they are playing music and have a meal and some beers. It looks like a fun place. Our waitress, Maria, was over the top nice and attentive. The service was phenomenal, and the food was even better. read more

Haven't been back to the 915 in 8 yrs. The only thing that changed were the prices. Yeah- it's 8 yrs. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. You must order their homemade bread. You can get a half loaf or full loaf. Sooooo good!!!! The one thing that hasn't changed is the water. I ordered water and then I remembered- for some reason it is nasty!! Order a tea or soda with your meal. Miss this place. read more

Craving barbecue and the craving was satisfied with State Line. Started with Chips and Queso. Queso was cheesy and chips were crispy. Bread and Honey Butter were also served. Bread was warm and soft. I ordered the Brisket Baked Potato. It was everything I wanted. Also, ordered was a full order of St. Louis Ribs that were delicious and tender. Service was good. Beverages were served in a huge cup. Restaurant had a western vibe perfect for Barbecue. read more

Good customer service. The food was delicious. Among the very best pork ribs I've ever had. I'll be back!

We have been here several times and the BBQ is top notch. Service is always friendly and efficient, even when busy. The brisket is really good, even the lean is still moist and the 1/4 chicken is the best I've found in the El Paso/Sunland Park area. Their specialty home made bread is always a must before and during a meal. A great bar selection. Their Grande Margaritas are huge. In a regular goblet, but you get a shaker full of additional "juice". :-) If you haven't tried this place - do it! read more

Ordered for delivery 2nd cut moist brisket and other stuff which was great. But the brisket arrived undercooked on some sides (picture). Those sides were cold and tasted raw. I called the manager who explained was wrong because those sides are smoked. bbq restaurants (even at stateline) and it never tasted raw like this. restaurant and show the manager the brisket but it be would a waste of Sunday time better spent with the family. read more

Growing up in El Paso, I've been to the State Line more times than I could count. However, this was my first time as an adult and my first time since moving out of state 3 years ago. We came to celebrate my Dad's birthday after his long day of work and me flying in earlier that day. He was raised Texan and was really craving some Texas BBQ. We came around 7:30pm and took about 15 minutes to be seated. I was really impressed by their in-store liquor store. You can pick and choose your choice of bottled alcohol where it can then be taken to your table while you're waiting or eating. That was super dope! After getting seated, we ordered and they brought us their famous bread and honey-butter - super delicious! I ordered their combo plate with half marbled meat and half a rack of beef ribs. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the quality or method of preparation of the meat. I'm not a fan of cole slaw and their potato salad was strong on the mustard flavor. As for the rest of the party, they were also disappointed. They did bring out a complimentary ice cream that my dad appreciated. Probably won't ever come back here again. read more

First time visiting The State Line was on a Saturday Night for a retirement party. It's quite the...interesting layout. You walk into an open air courtyard with a stage at the end and some outdoor tables and chairs. It's been awhile since we've been around live music, so we we're pretty excited! To the left you have a building with the bar, restrooms, and dining area. The Woodford was a little pricey, but if you order bourbon from a bar, it wasn't unexpected. The wheat bread loaf folks rave about was pretty good, but I was more impressed with the grilled vegetables...they were delicious and perfectly done. The BBQ meat left some room for improvement and the potato salad was a bit heavy on the dill. Living on the far east side of El Paso, I would visit here again, but I wouldn't plan a trip around it. read more

The State Line - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I had not been back to the State Line BBQ in a few years so I decided a visit was in order. But, first, what is up with all the mixed reviews? They range from great to terrible? What is the real story? Inquiring minds want to know? Well, here's what I experienced. The restaurant was moderately busy when we arrived. There is a large parking lot out front so parking is not an issue. Inside the ambiance is nice, sort of an upscale cowboy restaurant. The place is a bit dark inside but comfortable. We were quickly led to a table by a hostess. The service overall was very good. Our drink orders were quickly taken and we ordered a basket of their special homemade bread. The warm, fresh bread (you do pay extra for bread) was, in my opinion just ok...nothing too special. I have certainly had better at a number of places. Rate the bread about a "B." Others in our party though thought the bread was very good. The main meals were brought to the table within ten or twelve minutes. Wanting to sample a number of their specialties I ordered the Five Meat Smokehouse Platter. The prices at State Line are quite reasonable. I found the baked beans to be pretty robust and flavorful. Rate them a "B+." The potato salad was fairly good but nothing to write home about. Rate it a "B-." The coleslaw on the other hand was pretty poor. Rate it a "D." Never order it. The pepper smoked turkey (which came in a small portion) had neither a smoked nor a pepper flavor. In fact none of the meats had much of a smoky flavor. What's up with that? The turkey was ok but it is just turkey. Rate it a "B" if you like ordering turkey at a BBQ joint. The sausage was pretty good but nothing too special. Rate it a "B." THE BRISKET WAS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT. Not only was the sample quite parsimonious, but the meat was a bit dry and lacked flavor. Rate it a "B-." It was certainly not something to go out of your way for. Definitely not up to the standard Texas brisket. The beef rib was fairly good but it needed a covering of the BBQ sauce to make it good. (I might add that they gave you two versions of BBQ sauce in little plastic cups. Both were ok but nothing too special. The amount of sauce that came with the meals was, to be honest, quite stingy.) Rate the beef rib about a "B." The star of the show today was the St. Louis Pork Ribs. These were excellent. Very tasty ribs. If I return, that's what I'm going for. Rate the pork ribs an "A-." This was the only part of the entire meal that was outstanding. So, in sum, the ambiance is nice, the service is excellent, the food choices are plentiful, but the food is a mixed bag. Most of the food is in the good but not outstanding range. The only poor product was the coleslaw. Rate the overall dining experience about FOUR STARS or maybe FOUR AND A QUARTER STARS.....meaning good, but not reaching the level of an outstanding BBQ joint. read more
