If that's what yall have for BBQ in East Texas, then you boys don't have good BBQ in East Texas.
The best part of my meal was the hot towel afterward.
I got a single meat plate with sliced brisket. Brisket was cold, dry, and no flavor.
Coworker had two meat plate. He's from up north where they lack taste buds.
And.......$53.00 for the above, a sweet tea and an ice water.
Terrible. Check the receipt. It was probably $3.00 for all food/drink/towel you mentioned above and $50.00 dining penalty for not ordering ribs. jk

I have not been there in years , but I don't remember there being a menu. It was ribs , only choice was beer or tea.  I agree with above ,, you never order anything but ribs at Country Tavern. Like going to Drago's and ordering anything besides Charbroiled Oysters. MO

I have been here in East Texas for the past five years and, for the most part, it is an eating wasteland. My go to BBQ place is Smoke Monkey on 155 in Flint. The original is in Rockwall. While BBQ is a personal thing, these guys are pitmasters and catered presidential dinners for both Bush's and for a few governors. They have great brisket, pulled pork and ribs as well as what are probably the best beans I have ever tasted.
For the most part, though, the majority of BBQ, burger and Mexican restaurants are mediocre. Each area may have one or two good places but they are few and far between.

If it's on the menu.... it better be good. If it says house specialty it better be excellent.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.

4. Sheps palestine Stanley’s is not even close to what it use to be. I believe the pitmaster is now at the original Bodacious on Mobberly in Longview.

Should I cross out Stanley’s with a pen? Does Bodacious Longview get bumped to #1 or is there a replacement #1? Just my opinion but lists should have more stability than the one WAWI posted.
