Excellent Texas style barbecue, with no frills, order at the counter and a server brings the order and drinks to your table. The dining area is small but adequate and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Come as you are, as it should be for a BBQ place, It looks like the bigger part of the business is bulk, buy the pound orders. A friend ordered a whole beef brisket with sides of potato salad, coleslaw, and greens and was a hit at his 4th of July party. read more

Can't say enough great things about this place. Pricey but they make it worth your trip there. Very generous portions, and awesome staff

I just tried this place for the first time, loved the ribs!! If you love a strong smoked flavor, this is the place for you! The BBQ sauce comes in the side, which I loved, as the smoked flavor was so good, I barely used any sauce! The Mac and cheese was decent as was the baked hash browns, but the hash browns were a little too "peppery" for my taste. Be aware this place does not have any indoor seating as of this post (April 2022) and is only open Thursday - Saturday. I would definitely return again! read more

Wow! Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Stopped on our way to Detroit from Hillsdale. Seemed questionable from the outside, not many cars, but smelled delicious as soon as we got out of the car. Small location with just a few tables. Huge menu, several different types of meat to choose from. Various BBQ sauces on the table. I got the beef brisket and it was divine, highly recommended! Mac and cheese and complementary roll were also good. Reasonable prices (under $7 for meat, another $3 for sides) and friendly staff. Quick service too! read more

GREAT FOOD! BEST BBQ! Great service and awesome food. Went to lunch the other day, the place was almost to capacity, but we were seated immediately, and our food arrived without a longer than usual wait. Great place to eat if you are on a time limit for your lunch hour from work, read more

Clean place! and friendly staff, amazing food. Love going there with family, favorite place to visit in the summer. Their sides are amazing!! Mac and cheese, beans, and coleslaw, ribs are also sooo good. It Truly is 'melt in your mouth' Texas style barbecue. read more

I finally got by here when they were open (dang limited hours). And loved it!! Brisket was delish and the hot link was good, Pork was yummy too. Their sauces are vinegar based (which I don't generally care for) and were very good. We even got some of the BigUns sauce to use at home :-) . But the star, for me, was the Texas Chili! Not "spicy beans soup" like you get at most places, but a truly delish Texas Chili made with their brisket. They only need 2 things in my opinion... (1) Longer hours (2) a Lansing, MI location :-) read more

Seriously good ribs and bbq. I'm not a bbq expert but I know what I like and this place hits it. I like that they have multiple bbq sauces for you to choose from, and they're all great options. Wishing I didn't write this review because all of a sudden I have a rib craving. Check it out and see for yourself. read more

Ok I have been looking for a good place for Prime Rib and I have found it! The meat is well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly. read more

West Texas Barbeque - Caterers Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

Great BBQ in Michigan! I've tried the great pit masters' fare throughout Texas and am considerably blessed to have had the opportunity (The Salt Lick, Franklin's, Central Market, etc). What an incredible surprise to find true Texas brisket in Michigan! I can count on one hand how many good Texas briskets I've found outside of Texas. (The one thing they all have in common is that the owner is from Texas.) Here, the ribs and brisket are incredible! The ribs are tender and the brisket succulent. The owner is a Texas-native and uses the type of rub you find around Dallas - a little sweeter than rubs from other areas of the US and even other parts of Texas. It caramelizes during the cook to create a sweet, meat-candy of a bark. I ended up buying sauce and rub to take home. Keeping with Texas tradition, this place is low key and only open for lunch. It's actually situated in an industrial building. Don't let the humble location fool you; there's a pit master inside perfecting his craft for your hungry ass! Nice guy too! Great guy! He was more than accommodating to talk with me about cooking low and slow, how he cooks, and everything else BBQ. I even walked away learning something new about wood. That's right, wood! What you're supposed to BBQ with to get the type of bark you see on those ribs. read more

Walking through the tea-mud runoff from the smokers in the front of the building was an interesting way to great customers. It's small inside, though they said there is more seating to the rear if you want to walk past (through?) the kitchen. It just didn't seem inviting. Trash cans sitting by the counter was another nice touch. Counter service only here at West Texas BBQ. Portions were smaller than I expected. Cans of soda or pre-bottled iced tea suspiciously without labeling. I don't feel like I got what I paid for. I left hungry, though I ordered one of the larger meals, which was pricier than anticipated. I simply don't see what garnered the high ratings. It's just not all that. read more

OMG! Run don't walk! This place is real Texas BBQ. My brother and I were on our way to K'zoo from Detroit and found this gem. I had 2 meat platter with Turkey and Brisket. The turkey had a nice smoked flavor and it was tender and juicy. The Brisket was some of the best I've ever had and I have been to Texas a few times. The prices are not cheap but the way I look at it is that you get what you pay for. Both cuts of meat were high quality. I shall return! read more

Let me start of by giving a lil info about myself..Im From Texas, And have tried a lot of famous barbeque, So what i am comparing it to is other Texas bbq. With that being said, their are a few things i didnt really. Like..the dinner roll was hard i would suggest just regular bread. Food was good ..but what made me feel like i was back in Texas was the hot links. It was very flavorful and seasoned.. I had too buy a pound to take back home read more

I'm a tough critic on BBQ. West Texas BBQ Co. is very good. They have odd hours but it's delicious. I've not ate everything on the menu yet. Ribs are out of sight. Just eat there ! read more

Amazing Barbeque. Wish they had longer hours of operation. Great atmosphere for sure.

I was working in the area and it was suggested we try West Texas BBQ. I'm a lover of all things bbq, I mean look at me I don't shy away from the smoked meats. All of that said the food was good I ordered the 2 meat platter (10oz ) with brisket and hot link sausage and a small side of mac n cheese. The brisket had great flavor and paired with a mixture of their hot and mild bbq sauces really brought out the smoke flavors. All in all a good experience and would definitely return and try something different. read more

We really like this place, the bbq ribs are delicious. I just wish they open till late and on Sunday :). Because some times we are craving for some ribs and they close too early read more

They sampled the ribs! They were moist, smoky, and so tender you don't need teeth. That is serious bbq! I'm not usually a fan of brisket, but this was really good. We liked it so much we ate there then got ribs carryout since we live two hours away. I also got to-go for a friend at work who loves brisket. You order and pay at counter then they bring the food to the table. You can eat inside or out at picnic tables. Not real fancy, but has a real Texas vibe. Portions are generous. Only complaint is no beer to go with really great bbq. Wish I lived closer. Thanks Yelp for another winner. read more

Sooo good! The pulled pork and brisket are amazing. Perfect amount of smoked flavor. BBQ sauce is awesome as well. Definitely a must try if you are in the area or passing through. read more

We stumbled upon this fantastic little joint on one of our camping excursions. The kids and I shared a full rack of baby back ribs, there was so much meat on these ribs That the 3 of us didn't even finish them. They were tender and flavorful. Per my 8 year old, "I don't need sauce Mom, these are yummy!! The lemonade tasted just like my Grans! Definitely homemade!! We had a great visit and the kids loved to see all the big smokers!! We might just make a special drive just to eat here! The only downfall is their hours are very limited! Check the website before dropping in, would be my only suggestion! read more

Great food. If you're looking for fancy ambiance and are going to focus on your surroundings, rather than the food, you'll probably be disappointed. BUT, if you appreciate good BBQ, that stuff doesn't matter and this place will not disappoint. read more

This place has the best Turkey sandwich ever!! It is slow smoked and is very moist. There BBQ sauces are awesome as well. This place is Jackson's best BBQ read more

BBQ is awsome!!!!! Tried the pull pork and brisket, really good. Rolls melted in your mouth. Awsome sauces!!!!!

Found this place using Yelp and decided to give it a try. Loved it! Outstanding food and friendly staff.

Would not suggest eating in.. and a bit overpriced for quantity and quality of food. This is coming from a native Texan.. FWT

I am from Texas and I love BBQ. Excited when I found this place. I tried 3 different things. Brisket, pulled pork, and hot links. I loved the hot links. They were the highlight of the stop by far. The pulled pork came in second and the brisket a distant 3rd. The staff was very friendly and courteous. As wowed as I was by the links, I was just as disappointed in the brisket. Couldn't put my finger on exactly why it was disappointing, but suspect it has something to do with how they push the brisket through the stall while cooking. Just kind of bland. Usually because of fat content of brisket and the rub places use its very flavorful. I will be back for the hot links though! read more

How this place hasn't been previously discovered by Yelpers, I'll never know. Mouth Watering. The Turkey is by far the best I've ever tasted. Banana pudding, out of this world. Baked Beans... Yummy! Brisket... Just perfect, and the Bug Uns BBQ sauce is incredible. This is a must eat place in Jackson. Slim hours... Tuesday-Friday 11am-2pm and Saturday 11am-6pm. read more

I have yet to try something heeeere I didn't like. Quick customer service, no frills, just damn good barbecue. A hidden gem of jackson.

Ribs and Brisket are to die for. We liked the atmosphere of the place, owner came to our table, we got a free cookie. We just loved the place and will surely come back. read more

What a great find, who knew you could get great smoked Texas BBQ in the state up north.

First, let me tell you that I have been going to West Texas for the past 6 years monthly for lunch. West Texas used to be the best food at a great value. But now it seems that since people know about West Texas(best BBQ in Michigan). things have changed. The prices have went up and the portions have went down. It will cost you $12 for a small sandwich, very small side and a drink. I've been able to stomach the price increase and portion decrease until I visited today and they are now serving their top notch meats on top of a store bought bun. What a joke. The home made ciabatta they used to serve was the best and made you feel like the price was OK because the food product was so good. Now I feel like I could get this from a fast food joint. They lost a monthly customer today. I will probably only visit once a year now. Good news is that their meat is still delicious. I would say others are also noticing because the lines are nothing like they used to be. Too bad, they had a good thing going. read more

West Texas has earned their place as a great place to get bbq in an area not normally associated with great bbq. BUT, their recent decision to jack up prices and now NOT offer the wonderful fresh baked bread they used on their sandwiches is a real bummer. All that wonderful bbq on a cheap factory bun. If you want the fresh baked bread you now get a much smaller roll on the side when ordering a platter meal. Almost $15 for a pork sandwich, can of pop (no refills) and larger potato salad side (because the regular size is tiny as a salad dressing cup). Oh, yeah the sandwich was $1 off today so it would normally be $16. I can see going to a sit down place for that much. Hope we don't loose a good thing here, but I've seen it happen over and over. Now, WTBBQ is no longer a given when planning lunch, too bad as we order several times a year for work functions too. read more

The food is good, but not mind blowing. I have eaten there a handful of times and the only thing that is consistent is that they normally screw up my order or over charge me. For example, your supposed to get 2 rolls with the large platter, which my wife and I can split, but it's hard to split when there is only one roll. They have left out the sauce (huge deal)!! Just today I had to go back in for the pickles, onions and peppers that are supposed to come with the platter. I have gotten the smaller side dishes even after confirming the size and the price and paying for the larger one. Another thing that bothers me, is the fact they leave some foods such as brownies uncovered and right on the front counter where kids can touch them or someone can cough or sneeze on them not to mention the flys. I would never buy a desert for this reason. read more

The brisket sandwich was amazing! The service was very prompt and courteous. Highly recommended!

Terrible pulled pork. Terrible Mac and cheese. Ok chili. Brisket was a C-. Tender but missing flavor. read more

I love BBQ! And I've tried it everywhere from nationally famous places like Corky's and Charles Vargas Rendezvous in Tennessee to Famous Dave's chain BBQ! And I've got to say that West Texas tops them all! I'm all about the Brisket! It's super lean and has great flavor! They have awesome Texas Style (no beans) Chili as well! You need to try it! I would say their prices are reasonable for the portion size and quality of the food. So good! One of my favorite places in town! Long live West Texas! read more

This was my first time here. Ordered the brisket sandwich with hot bbq sauce & homemade mac & cheese. Delicious. I'm actually not a big brisket guy so I can't wait to go back to try the ribs & pulled pork. read more

I read the reviews before ordering, and some clown said to get the brisket. I got it, along with a sample of their ribs. Brisket was amazing (smothered in their mild BBQ sauce), but the rib (I wish I had only ribs) was out of his world!!! Tender, falls off the bone, and full of flavor!! Next time I come through Jackson, I am stopping here and getting the ribs. Lemonade is good too! read more
