Deep in the heart of Rangerette Country, there’s a BBQ joint that serves up some of the most mouthwatering smoked meats in the Lone Star State. Standing the test of time, Country Tavern BBQ has been delighting East Texans everywhere with juicy brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and cheesy jalapeno sausage for over 80 years – and we don’t anticipate that changing anytime soon.
For over 80 years, Country Tavern has been the place to go for finger-lickin’ good barbecue in East Texas.
Google/Gabe Grote You’ll find the restaurant on Farm to Market Road 2767.
The interior is almost reminiscent of a saloon, with a pool table and sleek wooden bar that features high-end leather seats.
TripAdvisor/TravelerFromPerth Plenty of regular seating is available, as well, so it’s an ideal environment for a family dinner or night on the town with friends.
When it comes time to look at the menu, we can pretty much guarantee your eyes will grow larger than your stomach.
TripAdvisor/482annmariem All of the hickory-smoked meats are absolutely to die for, but the ribs seem to be the crowd favorite.
Other meats include turkey, brisket, and their world-famous jalapeno sausage, which features just the right amount of heat and creamy cheddar cheese to balance it out.
Google/Rachel Phuong Le Guests can choose either one, two, or three meats with their meal (we highly recommend coming hungry so you can try a little bit of everything.)
For sides, your options are potato salad, beans, coleslaw, chips, and baked potato casserole.
Google/Chris Callow Each plate comes with two, plus a generous helping of dark red BBQ sauce for good measure.
If you’ve somehow managed to save any room for dessert, the selections are sure to keep your sweet tooth at bay for at least the next month.
Google/Crystal Northen From homemade fruit cobblers to banana pudding to brownies a-la-mode, you’ll need a wheelbarrow to roll home in after your meal is over.
