Barbecue diner just off of the main square of Gonzales. We ordered a two meat lamb and sausage plate with half spicy and half regular sausage. Potato salad and coleslaw. We also ordered a brisket plate, sweet potato and stuffed baked potato. Bread was standard, and fresh. The lamb was fabulous, the sausage was so so. Brisket was dry. Coleslaw and potato salad were very good as was the stuffed baked potato. Candied yams were okay. Fountain drinks as expected.

I love this place! The wife and I took the Texas Independence Trail on our way to the coast and this was our first stop for lunch. Super friendly service, a true Texas bbq joint with a cozy atmosphere. Lots of rustic wood and rusted metal interior and photos on the walls. Best brisket sandwich I’ve had in a long time! My wife got 3 sides and they were all home made quality. This is definitely our #1 spot in town and we will be back every time we go to the coast!

The sausage is the only thing good here. The brisket is dry and has a weird taste, the customer service reminds me of a dive bar where if you’re not a regular they look at you like you’re wasting their time. My family frequented this BBQ place for years but I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon.

Tastes like home. No frills, down home, good Texas BBQ. I had a 2 meat combo, ribs and sausage with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and rice and beans which I had mixed. Hands down my favorite beans and rice from any type of restaurant, whether that be Mexican food or BBQ, the beans and rice here are amazing. And not because they use some exotic spices. Because literally tastes like grandma’s house. Their BBQ sausage is very unique and I’ve never had any thing quite like it. Short links with almost a chorizo type flavor always juicy and flavorful. Ribs are tender and not overly seasoned. Smoke does most of the talking on the ribs. I love this place and highly recommend it.

Really friendly folks, very accommodating for us first-timers.
Brisket very moist, pork ribs a little dry, link very greasy but tasty. Beans were bland unfortunately.
She disappeared her lamb ribs before she touched anything else they were so tasty.

My grandparents and all my elders have been supporting the Gonzales meat market since before I ever was ever a thought lol. Anywho, I travel from San Antonio OFTEN just to stop and get some sausage! I bring all my friends….i just can’t believe so many people don’t know about this place. It’s tradition to stop here every August when headed to our family reunion down in sweet home, Texas. I’ll never stray away from this place….i don’t care how trendy a location one exit before The Gonzales exit “trends.” There is only ONE bbq stop that has my heart and it’s the Gonzales Meat Market! Keeping the family tradition alive❤️❤️❤️

Let me just tell you. My mother & father who are not the biggest fans of BBQ ( I know gasp, insert eye rol, they are yankees ) devoured their entire plates! My husband and I shared the pulled pork & brisket & my daughter had lamb ribs. The smoke ring was perfect, the food had the exact amount of bite without falling off the bone & flavor qas on point. One of the staff members, presumably a family member, was super sweet. He asked where my parents were from and struck up a convo. Very courteous staff and clearly everyone in this town loves the food because it was slammed during lunch time. Thanks for a great experience❤ Definitely will be back, signed those darn Boston peeps lol
