Adam's Rib Pit Bar-B-Que

The ribs, swine sandwich, and all sides were excellent.

Walked in and was helped right away. Got a brisket melt sandwich special and it was amazing and also the sides where awesome. God food, good people, and atmosphere.

Great service, clean place, awesome barbecue, highly recommended

I've eaten here 4 times in the last 2 weeks, and every time the food has been great. The lunch specials are very fair priced at about $11-12 bucks.

First time eating here and it is very very good! Prices are great, food came out in less than 5 minutes after placing the order! My family and I will definately be coming back!! Thanks for the great food!

Me and husband went there alot when we lived in longview love their turkey so juicy we haven’t had it on a long time. He had a job to do in Longview today stopped to eat lunch and brought some Turkey back to me were we live in Orange Texas. Still juicy and delicious it was years ago. I recommend Adam’s to anyone living or traveling to Longview. 5 stars should be a 10

Me and the wife have been through here thousands of times and never had the chance to stop and eat but lord have mercy this place is jam up!! Love it and it will now be the only bbq joint we will go to from now on.

Beef had great flavor. Coleslaw was good. Pinto beans had good flavor, just a bit on the salty side. Great service. Will eat there again, for sure.

We traveled to Longview today to pick up our grandson and stop by Adams ribs to get takeout for the family. We could not wait to get home to Bullard to devour our food. We purchased the ribs, turkey, potato salad, macaroni and cheese and banana pudding. Everything was fresh and the smoked ribs and turkey were spot on. Will be back again to eat at Adams ribs! Love this place!

My husband is a serious BBQer so he is very picky about eating at a BBQ joint. He & I both were very impressed with how tender the brisket is, the ribs are cooked perfectly w/ a little kick to them. The potato salad is seriously the best I’ve ever had & the Pinto beans packed with flavor. Don’t miss out on the banana pudding! It is almost meringue like! Sinfully good! Highly recommend Adams Rib pit BBQ!

Always a good place to stop for food. Highly recommended.

3 meat plate with brisket, sausage, and turkey is a solid bet, but new personal face are the tacos. Get the chicken and you won't regret it. The staff has always been friendly when we come in, and I used to be here at least twice a week because thanks to their quick orders, I could be in and out in under 10 to 15 minutes, leaving me time to get back to class. It's also a great place to visit if you're flying in, only a few miles from the airport. Just two right turns, and a pretty good example of the best BBQ in the area. I've never heard anyone speak negatively, and it's always busy during lunch hour.

Best around. Brought the family and it was good price and great food.

Got a sliced beef sandwich plate, with 2 sides for $13.00, and got a large drink. The food was pretty good actually!! Nice little interior to sit down and eat. The guys up there working were super cool, and they are in to anime! So we got to talk it up a little bit about shows and it was enjoyable. I will be back if I'm in the area to grab some lunch again!

Ordered the rib plate with potato salad and was very good! Ribs were meaty and had the right amount of fat content combined with their sauce, they were excellent! Ordered the banana pudding and it's one of the best puddings around. You will want to order the pudding.

We had 3 pc meat plate with 2 ribs and brisket. Our sides were mac & cheese and baked beans. Everything was hot. Fresh and delicious. The crew were pleasant and accommodating. We will be back. Great experience!

The food is ALWAYS at its best. Service is great, and the restaurant is always clean. We also get dinner to go and have never had an item missing or been disappointed. It's always good.

The lady at the window seemed to be having a bad day when simply asking how we order without knowing the price of things (they changed the board bc prices change so much, understood), and then requesting a printed menu with prices was way above her willingness to keep it professional without huffing and eyerolls. The manager, however, was extremely accommodating and professional as I requested for that lady to step aside before I spend $30+ dollars on a bad attitude. No one orders anything without knowing the price but she claims everyone infact does and "never asks". The manager did guide me within 15 seconds that they have a menu online - so I pulled it up and quickly ordered what I wanted WITH pricing. 15 minutes couldve been 5. Does she know the menu is online? Happy to continue to be a patron after 8 years of visiting.

Place should have more than 4 star. Great BBQ and worth the stop!

I’m picky about BBQ. And when I say this place is great I mean it. I’ve eaten BBQ everywhere I used to eat here all the time. Then I moved to Austin the “BBQ” capitol of Texas and I’ve tried them all. Well I recently moved back to The Longview area and I was invited to eat at Adam’s ribs by the owner. And from the first bite to the last I was in BBQ heaven. I was reminded why Adam’s Rib is Goated. Ribs, sausages, chopped beef, beans, And that perfect Banana pudding it’s all great. If you are in the mood for some BBQ do yourself the service and try Adam’s rib I recommend the monster tater it’s a lot of food so beware haha!

So, I am a Bodacious fanatic. I am 100% in love with the food there, and so whenever I try a new BBQ in Longview or East Texas, I find that I can't help but compare it to that experience and that food. That said, Adam's Rib does a good job! While I don't feel like the turkey sandwich I had comes anywhere close to touching Bodacious' turkey sandwich, I was really surprised by their sides. Green beans and an AWESOME macaroni and cheese are two things I always wish for at Bodacious, and Adam's Rib definitely delivers there! I would go back to give the other meats a try, for sure.

Really 4.5 Stars Cons - Potato Salad - what in the Karen is with grapes in the potato salad? Please stop. Update - Grapes are actually black olives - eeeeeewwwwwwwwww 🤢 Sauce - lacks flavor, but you don't need it anyway Pros Service- very friendly and personable staff ❤ Baked Beans Chopped Beef and Pulled Pork - Everything about these were a delight to the tastes buds! And you DO NOT need the sauce

I Haven't been inside but the food is awesome! They use to have a bbq leg quarter covered in bbq sauce it was the best! The baked beans and the Macaroni is delicious

Very good bbq. Great for lunch. Don't drive 5 hours out of your way for it, but if your in longview I don't think you'll be disappointed. Both times I had the sliced brisket it was tender and full of flavor. I'd prefer a little more seasoning, but the smoke is spot on. For those with kids, the Mac and cheese has some spice to it so they may not enjoy it, but I liked it just fine.

I hate to give this place a four-star rating and only a three for the food, but here’s my reasoning. If your business name has “Rib” in it, the ribs should be absolutely amazing—and that’s where my issue lies. For me, good ribs should hit a certain level of tenderness—not so soft that they completely fall off the bone when you pick them up, but tender enough that you don’t have to fight to get the meat off. Unfortunately, these ribs lacked that perfect tenderness and required more chewing than I expected. That said, I’ve eaten a lot of their other barbecue items—like the sausage and turkey—and they’ve all been fantastic. Everything else has been spot on. The service is excellent, and the big guy cooking in the back is super friendly. Bottom line: If “Rib” is in your name, your ribs should be the best I’ve had anywhere. They’re good, but they just don’t live up to the name yet.

Food was fresh meat was smoked like butter Mac was decent baked beans phenomenal and that nana pudding tasted like my nanas ribs definitely seasoned to perfection visited this past Saturday the 18th of October me and my mom the princess had an amazing visit thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness hope to visit again

Good food but the employees are not friendly, their attitudes stink! I totally understand that it's hot back there, and I also understand that it can get hectic and stressful working at a restaurant when busy. But don't take it out on us! No one is forcing you to work there. 🙄

We ordered 1lb of chopped beef and 1lb of ribs. The chopped beef was delicious. The ribs were tough and I was really disappointed because ribs are my favorite. The prices are high. For those 2 items it cost 46.00. Not sure if we will make a return visit.

Service was excellent. Food was great. But, the prices were way way to high. For a simple no thrills dinning experience you would think they would have at least a value meal. Or a special ever once in awhile. Withoit that i wont be able to visit again.

1st time visitor and I was just a bit baffled. My town doesn't have a bbq place so the next closest was this place which was 30-35min out. I get there thinking my order was already packed and ready to go but it was never set up. My guess is that they might not have a hot box to keep to-go orders. They weren't busy at all & I couldn't understand why they were so easily confused and unorganized. The food however was okay. The ribs were fine, the green beans were questionable and the potato salad was confusing. Not everybody can make traditional potatao salad. It had olives in it and I hate olives. Too much mayonnaise. Probably won't come back.

We ordered 2 baked potatoes with brisket. At 4:45 they informed us they were out of brisket. Who runs out of brisket at 4:30. We got it with turkey ,ok but not brisket. The potatoes were hard as a rock. Very disappointing. We’ll probably go to their competition in the future.

I bought 1/2 lb sliced beef about 4 o'clock dec 14, 2021 I was soooo disappointed Was dry especially on one end could hardly chew it.. This customer sorry to say wasted $14 won't be back.

Got a rib plate $27 ribs were super dry and crunchy. Pinto beans had no flavor and taste like they came straight out the can. Coleslaw was horrible. I’m not a review type of person but man for how much this cost it’s was trash. Wanted to eat it to not waste money but couldn’t even finish it.

Spent $62 on a family pack with 2 pounds of different meats . Bought another pound of ribs on the side . Ribs were good . The pound of chopped beef was half chopped fat ! Pinto beans were crunchy ! Get home noticed didn't get my links . Go back owners son has a bad attitude ! Poor customers skills ! I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN !!!! DRIVE EXTRA MILE TO BODACIOUS NEXT TIME !!!

Ordered a two meat plate for Thanksgiving Day (since I work) the day before, brisket and sausage. Half fat and about six pieces of sausage. I really am not one to complain but, this is the second time this happened in a couple of months. Adams is ok for maybe a chopped sandwich (beware) but, never again will I order a plate from them. Stick to the well known competition for the good stuff. Very disappointed.

My food was not fit to eat! I know I have had your BBQ before some place and it was good. The bake beans looked like they opened a can of pork and beans, cut up raw onion in them and served cold. Maybe it's your employees not cooking food right.

I will not be going back, my main complaint is that for$20 on a 2 meat plate, I received maybe $5-10 worth and that is being generous! The photo is with the sides taken out.

I'd like to think it that they just an off day however as a frequent customer I have noticed the quality of food has gone downhill over the last year. The beef was dry and bland, sausage was cold in the middle. Pinto beans were bland...no seasoning, not even salt and pepper. Potato salad was inedible hard brown potato cubes and black olives swimming in a mealy watery mayo sauce. Small portions, big prices, zero flavor.$40 for 2. Won't be back.

Ordered the Brisket and wow that was the driest meat and no flavor at all . I didn’t use sauce because of the sugars . That meat was either way over cooked ,or they don’t know how to cook ,or their quality of meat is bad . I’ve actually never ordered bbq in my life that dry . I would never go back . Not everyone should have restaurants this is one of those places . I kept pouring on the pepper and salt just to get some flavor . I almost asked for bbq sauce to help eat it ! I finally gave up and took the rest home. Dogs will be happy :)

Drove all the way from Hallsville on Sunday because website showed open till 4:00 PM. Tried calling repeatedly, but the phone seemed off the hook; I should have known. Arrived about 2pm, and the place was closed up tight. Painted on a window was "OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK " LOL. I've had their food catered at work anyway, and it isn’t impressive. But I wanted hot links, and they were the only place claiming to be open. They won't be bothered by me again.
