Lum's BBQ Junction Reviews
Great bbq. We stopped in on the drive from Houston to New Mexico. We were craving some barbeque, and this was really good. They have some unique side dishes too, like spicy spaghetti. Nine of the sides contain meat, so people can also make a veggie plate with things like green beans, pinto beans, salad, etc. We had turkey, which was very lean and ribs which were meaty. Sides were Mac and cheese, green beans and the spicy spaghetti.
No bbq like TEXAS bbq! Soft, luscious meats, fall off the bone, ribs, tender green beans with lots of pepper that are not mush, savory brisket, plenty of jalapeños, and onions! Great halfway point between wtx and Austin, I always stop for some Delicious food at Lums!!
if you’re ever in Junction, TX or passing through and you see @lumsbbq it is important you stop and go get a meal. The 2 meat plate was way bigger portions and a higher caliber of bbq than I have had in a long time. Was driving my grandparents and mom back to Menard from San Antonio and mom said she ate there in the 70’s!!!! There’s a reason it’s still there.
My new go-to BBQ place when driving through town. The sides were awesome as well as the marbled Brisket and the pork Ribs. All the meats are cut to order! Thanks for the friendly service!
We stopped at Lum’s BBQ in Junction, TX during our drive on I-10, and wow — this place is a gem. The brisket was out of this world, perfectly smoked and incredibly tender. The turkey was super moist, which is hard to find, and every side tasted fresh and homemade. The restaurant itself is spotless and well-kept — truly impeccable. The ambiance felt a little cold and not the warmest in terms of friendliness, but the food more than makes up for it. If you’re traveling toward Austin or San Antonio from West Texas, this is THE place to stop for real Texas BBQ. Absolutely worth the detour and every single bite!
I stopped in Junction, TX for a football game and needed a good place to eat — and I definitely found it at Lum’s BBQ! As soon as I walked in, the smoky aroma told me I made the right choice. The counter setup made ordering super easy since I could see all their delicious options right in front of me. If you’re just looking for a solid meal, grab a sandwich. But if you’re up for a personal challenge, go for a plate! I ordered the 2-meat plate with sliced brisket and jalapeño & cheese sausage, plus potato salad and mac n’ cheese. Let’s just say I almost met my match, but pride wouldn’t let me leave a single bite behind. They’ve got a nice outdoor patio, plenty of indoor seating, and even some cool merch for sale. Great food, great atmosphere — I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!
Traveling from Laredo texas - el paso Texas - we Stopped by for lunch after reading other nearby Junctions BBQ locations - decided to come hear. Great decision to make for BBQ bite to eat - ya'lls review for not disappoint.

Almost forgot. - we also ordered 2 pies 1 pecan pie slice DELICIOUS 1 cheesecake slice SUPER DELICIOUS The Ornelas
Lum's BBQ was such a pleasant experience. It was not at all loud inside and smelled of yummy food. We got a 2-meat plate with pork ribs and brisket along with sides of mac and cheese as well as sweet corn. Yum! Delicious! They packed our lunch to go along with bbq sauce and utensils and bread and napkins. They even put parchment paper on both the sides so the sauce didn't get on to the meat. And their banana pudding was very nice and not too sweet. There is extra hot bbq sauce available and napkins if you want more along with pickles, jalapenos, and onions. There was a nice seating area with people enjoying their meals. Lots of drink options too. They were very nice and helpful to me and very quick as well. Lum's BBQ was clean and pleasant. I highly recommend them for a very tasty meal. BTW it is a 4-minute drive from the Tesla Supercharger. Very convenient.
The brisket was juicy, tender, and the very embodiment of perfection. You can tell the owners and employees put a lot of heart into the food they serve here. If you're passing by Junction on an I-10 road trip like we were, I highly recommend giving this place a visit!
The food was so delicious. My husband and I got the 2 meat plates each. We both loved the brisket, pork ribs and mac and cheese. The meat was so juicy and tender. Well worth it being $27 each.
Brisket was some of the best I've had. Mac & Cheese was creamy. The BBQ sauce had a vinegar kick but no real flavor in my opinion. Luckily the brisket didn't need it.
Best meat in order: ribs, pulled pork, brisket Best sides in order: Mac n cheese, cream corn, green beans The people are super nice here! Great music! We’ve already come twice
Hubby and I just stoped at Lum’s on our travels back home. A long time ago Cooper’s was our go to in the Junction area. After reading a lot of “not great” reviews about Cooper’s we decided to give Lyn’s a try. I’m so glad we did! The brisket was tender and delicious and seasoned well. The sausage was tasty too. They gave us huge portions of food! Normally at a bbq place you don’t get that much and it’s super expensive. This place is very reasonably priced. And I almost forgot to mention the sauce!! So so good! I got the two meat plate. It comes with 2 sides. The mac and cheese was homemade and the potato salad was as good as mine😂. You can see in the pics how much food it was. My husband got a two meat sandwich with brisket and sausage. It also came with a side.
I had the pleasure of stopping by Lum’s BBQ, and I can honestly say this spot lives up to its legacy. The plate I ordered came stacked with ribs, sausage, mac and cheese, and potato salad—all served up with that no-frills, classic Texas presentation. The ribs had a fantastic bark and rich smoky flavor. While the beef was a bit on the dry side, I’m not necessarily counting that as a negative—it could very well be due to the specific cut or the style they’re aiming for. As any BBQ lover knows, there are a lot of variables in the smoking process, and I respect that. Now, let’s talk sides—the macaroni was absolutely delicious. Creamy, well-seasoned, and comfort-food perfect. The potato salad also hit the mark—balanced, flavorful, and a great complement to the meats. You can feel the tradition and pride in this place. Family-owned since 1976, and you can taste the experience. I’ll definitely be back.
Wow, truly an amazing experience! I’ve had great brisket, but this is one of the best brisket I’ve had. Super juicy and meaty and the sausage was great too! They seem to run out a lot in the evening (we got here last night but they only had 2 sausage links left from everything they had), so definitely get here early before everything’s gone! You will not regret it. They even brought out a pup water bowl for my sister’s dog.
Excellent Hill Country Q just a few blocks south of the more notorious, but not nearly as tasty option on 10. Open and modern dining room, cafeteria style serving…see the meat you want. Great sides. Large drink selection. Friendly servers behind the counter, quick with answers or a joke. Brisket moist with nice bark, ribs just-right tender, beans with good cumin kick, coleslaw okay. All-round great grub and experience!
One of the 50 runners-up. in the 2021 Texas Monthly Magazine listing of The 50 Best BBQ Joints. In our judgment, it belongs in the top fifty, period. We had a terrific lunch, centered on a 3 meat platter (brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, ribs), 2 side (spicy spaghetti, cucumber salad) plate, with an additional 6 ounce side of pinto beans. All 3 of the meats are very, very good, with the ribs among the very few that we have eaten in Texas that would hold their own in KC or Memphis. The pinto beans are exceptional, the other two sides very good. The cold spaghetti is indeed spicy, and the cucumber salad (mercifully) not drowning in vinegar. It was a welcome alternative to coleslaw as a palate cleansing bite moving between the various meats. Later, we went back for a banana pudding, which was not overly sweet, and a very light and tasty slice of coconut meringue pie. Either would make a decent finish to an excellent meal. We highly recommend that you visit this venerable Junction establishment.
Wow! Awesome BBQ!! I’ve been on a quest to find the best BBQ in Texas. This is the best so far or among the best! I had the tender brisket which really was so very tender and had so much flavor. If you are in the area or even if your aren’t, it’s worth the drive to give them a try. They also have great side dishes to go with their brisket.

The food was amazing! I had left overs that I ate for lunch the next day! They really pile it on for the money.
Jalapeño sausage and brisket were both excellent. Friendly staff. Would not hesitate to return for another meal.
Very good place for lunch. I had the chopped beef sandwich which was delicious. Servers were very friendly. Restaurant was clean and comfortable.

Brisket was flavorless. Ribs were...ok. Sausage is way too expensive for what it is. Cooper's would be a better stop. Thought we'd try it since someone recommended it, but won't be back.
Brisket was chewy and dry. Maybe a off day but I won't be back. expensive too. Not much ambience. Location is on the way from the interstate to the state park. No room for trailer parking.
Pretty decent BBQ, I would go back. The sides are ok. Clean place, friendly people. The ribs and brisket are good. Prices aren't to bed. We have been twice.

Good food friendly staff dog friendly. They were very understanding of my service dog and service was fantastic. I will definitely return when I come back.
We stopped here because they were dog friendly and they had pie! My husband loves BBQ, so that was the draw for him. We each got a $15 plate with one meat (brisket) and two sides. His sides were b…
Plates were fairly expensive. BBQ was smoked and taste was good. Very small sides on plate for cost of plates!
The turkey and the chicken leg quarters were really good. I had signs of the spicy spaghetti which turned out to be a cold side and was kind of a texture issue. Plus I asked about eggs and milk because I'm allergic and was told that it did not have either however there must have been some sort of cheese in it because I'm having a reaction to something. :-( the cucumber salad was pretty good although somebody left out the sugar that was supposed to be in it. Personally at home I use Stevia instead of sugar no point adding useless calories LOL
Great service and friendly staff. The place was clean and welcoming, and I really wanted to like it more. Unfortunately, the BBQ didn't hit the mark for us. The brisket was dry, the mac and cheese …
Ok. Beans were cold. Everything was just meh. \nNot impressed. If I was guessing I would say the owner worked down the street and then opened his own place. The ribs and bbq sauce are eerily identi…
Very clean and neat. Sliced brisket was very good. BBQ sauce a bit bland, could have been spiced up a bit. Cole slaw and potato salads were terrible. Pintos were good.
Really had high hopes since it kept popping up when searching best bbq on I10 from Fl to NM. Was a let down. Brisket was very dry and bark tasted a little burnt. Staff were great and enjoyed the place, sides were good. Turkey was great. Just disappointed with the brisket
