Longview, Texas — Est. 1987
Central Texas–style barbecue, slow-smoked over post oak since 1987. Every cut earns its place on your plate — no shortcuts, no compromises.
Texas Bar-B-Q opened its doors on South Eastman Road in 1987 with a single offset smoker and a simple belief: that real barbecue cannot be rushed. Post oak. Low heat. Time.
Today, we still fire up the pit every morning at dawn. Our brisket is rubbed the night before, smoked for fourteen hours, and sliced only when it's ready. No holding cabinets. No reheating. If it's on your plate, it came off the smoker moments ago.
That's why Longview keeps coming back — and why families drive from Marshall, Kilgore, and Tyler just to sit at our counter and eat right.
What we smoke is what you get — no fried shortcuts, no frozen shortcuts. The menu changes only when the smoker does.
Our signature. Rubbed overnight, smoked over post oak until the bark sets and the fat renders.
St. Louis–cut, dry-rubbed, and smoked until the meat pulls back from the bone on its own.
Shoulder pork, slow-smoked and hand-pulled. Tender, smoky, with a light vinegar finish.
Our own blend — coarse-ground beef and pork with just enough heat to make you come back.
Smoked low and moist. Often the first thing to sell out — we recommend arriving early.
Half or whole, rubbed and smoked until the skin cracks and the meat stays juicy.
Slow-cooked with brown sugar, molasses, and a touch of our burnt ends.
Creamy, lightly sweet, and crisp — the classic counterpoint to rich smoked meat.
Baked until golden on top, creamy underneath. Made from scratch daily.
Old-fashioned, mustard-forward, with tender waxy potatoes and a hint of dill.
Warm bakery rolls, slathered in salted butter. Perfect for soaking up juice.
Our thin, vinegar-pepper sauce — the kind Central Texas pitmasters have used for generations.
Availability varies by day. Call ahead for large orders and catering.
