This is a long-standing bbq joint serving Lufkin. The bbq ribs & sausage are very good. The fried yeast rolls are like donuts without the glaze….. but they have honey 🍯 & they are Devine. Take a dozen home with you.

Trying to get to Lake Livingston St Park and came across this place. The meats were a little above average. Brisket not so much but the ribs and sausage are worth a return trip. Beans were just soso and I really liked the coleslaw. I don't know who does the rolls at this place but I could get fat just eating those. Maybe they sell them by themselves. Overall you could do better in Lufkin but it ain't bad.

Had the pork rib plate, beans and potato salad. The pork ribs were excellent. The rolls were excellent. BBQ beans were good. The potatoes salad was average. Service was prompt at first, although trying to get staff attention to get the bill was difficult.

Sliced BBQ was thinly sliced. Not enough meat on sandwich. Flavor was disappointing. The fried pies did not travel well and did not heat up well in air fryer: the recommended way per the help on site.

Not as good as before. Cheep feel to bbq. No smoke flavor. Taste like everything was warmed up.

The food was ok. Service was great! I have to rate it in the lower end of all the barbecue places I’ve eaten. Bbq beef “by the pound” was $30. I felt that was way over priced. We had 3 of us eating, and no one was overjoyed by the food. One and done!

Location is at a busy intersection with interesting parking, so getting the vehicle in may take a moment. Walking inside, just seat yourself and someone will come to you to get things started. We ordered the chipped beef plate, sliced beef plate, and the combination plate. The in-house sauce was watery and lacked flavor, which was disappointing. Sliced beef had good texture, but lacked seasoning and moisture. Combination plate had some really good sausage, good texture ribs, just wish the ribs weren't overwhelmed by the pepper. The chipped beef... no. Just no. Service was good overall, attentive and worked with us to get our chipped beef swapped out for something else.

Went to school at SFA and worked in Lufkin in college and hadn't ever been to this place. Was driving through and decided, today's my day. The restaurant itself is older, but cute. I love all the natural wood, and the smoked smell that bbq places have. Ordered the classic combo (brisket, sausage, and pork ribs). The lean brisket wasn't all that great, and the moist piece i got wasn't anything to write home about. The sausage however was pretty good. Pork rib was fall off the bone and probably what I enjoyed most from the platter. Their Cole slaw wasn't great, and the potato salad was good. What I disliked most about this place was their bbq sauce. Just wasn't good. Reminded me of spiced campbells tomatoe soup. There's a restaurant near me in Houston that has the exact same flavor profile sauce and I don't go there either. Now that doesn't mean other folks love it. This is just an old man reviewing places to help other folks. That being said, I'd come back for the ribs and sausage. But might smuggle in my own sauce next time.

The rolls that came with the meal were great. The staff was friendly and attentive. I order the slice beef plate, the meat was room temperature and dry. The potato salad was more like sweet, cold mashed potatoes. The coleslaw was rather bland. I should have ordered the ribs... シ

I am very disappointed in my order. The potato salad was only mashed potatoes with seasoning. The cole slaw was just lettuce. The chipped beef was okay. I have eaten at this restaurant for 40 years and am unpleased to say that the food is nothing like I have eaten in recent years. Please step up because Lufkin BBQ is a staple restaurant in Lufkin, Texas.

I don’t enjoy giving bad reviews and I know everyone’s taste in BBQ is different but here we go. The best part of the meal were the fried rolls, they were delicious. The brisket plate however was not. The brisket itself was incredibly tough and had to be sawed through with a knife. It had no flavor and no bark. The beans were like eating cooked onions and the potato salad was more like onion/bell pepper(?) flavored mashed potatoes. The photo attached to this review is what I left and didn’t eat. It might be me and the fact I’m used to smoking and eating central Texas style BBQ.

I’m on the fence here swaying to the negative side. Sorry. Just nothing remarkable about what I just ate. I ordered the chicken and it was not dry so that’s good but the taste was just blah. The sides are the pits. I don’t like ranch style beans as I was expecting bbq beans and I never want sugary sweet potato salad again. Waitress never asked us for refills. Just a disappointment after driving 50 miles. The bread was ok.

Went through the drive-thru about 5:00 on Saturday. Ordered a sliced beef plate and got 2-1/2 to 3 slices of beef. For the price, I couldn’t believe how little meat was on the plate. First and last time! So disappointed.

Do not order by the pictures of the menu. Prices are actually much higher higher. They need to take those pictures down. My total with taxe should have been $33.12. Not cheap by any means. When they rang me up, it was $39.79. That's quite a difference. I went thru the drive thru because it was raining. I specifically asked for salt. After a delay she handed me what she said was salt and pepper. I move out of the window because others were waiting. Then I realized what she gave me was all pepper. No salt. I had to pull around and go inside to get salt because drive thru line was growing. The food was good. The burger was ok and a small portion of fries.

The drive through lady just has a whole negative attitude! September 26th @ 12.25pm. Maybe that is not the right job for you, if you will have an attitude!
