I’ve eaten from here several times, but this was my first time actually going in. There’s a nice local feel to the restaurant. Staff were friendly and the food was great as always (although the brisket was a little too fatty)
Forgot to take pics of the food. I was too hungry!

Stopped by for the BBQ, stayed for the vibes.
As a previous resident of Mesquite, I had never been here so when I was in the area looking for a bite to eat, & saw the reviews, I had to give it a try. This place was giving down home vibes & had a diverse group of fun employees who were happy to help me on my first visit! As any self proclaimed BBQ connoisseur, good bbq is determined by whether it needs sauce or not. Although the best way to determine that, in my opinion is through sliced brisket, I chose a chopped brisket sandwich for this moment. The brisket was so moist, juicy, & flavorful. It needed no sauce. In the time, I sat here, all kinds of kinds came through the door, each welcomed with a smile & “Hows it going?” I see they have “Dino” ribs on Fri/Sat, so I will be back! See y’all next time!

My husband and I visited this establishment while we were staying in the area.
I can not say enough good things about this place!
The food was amazing. The brisket was hands-down the best that I have ever had! It literally melted in my mouth.
All of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient.
I hope that I get another opportunity to visit the area just so I can eat here again!

Today I visited this restaurant after hearing so much about it, and my experience was truly special. I’m a big fan of smoked brisket, and every bite here was unique and full of flavor. The staff were all incredibly friendly, and the place was spotless with great quality food. If you’re within 100 miles of the area, you should definitely come and try it—it’s worth the trip!

First time ordering from this establishment I ordered the turkey sandwich with load baked potato and sandwich were a nice size. Plenty slices of turkey between the buns. I decided to try the ssandwich first as I picked the sandwich up I smelled gasoline. I took a small bite . I decided to try the potato it was decent. Roughly 5 minutes later I didn’t feel well. Went to bed to lie down about 1 minute later I popped up and began to throw up. I am going to throw the sandwich away and hopefully be able to eat the potato another day if the Lord spares my life.

Man I love this place. This weekend I had my sister’s Celebration of Life and ordered food from Mesquite BBQ. They DID NOT disappoint!! Not only was the food amazing, the portions were perfect! The service was amazing as well. When I called, I had no idea how much food I would need. After explaining what was going on, the lady was so helpful in figuring out how much I needed and within my budget. It worked out perfectly and even had some left over for dinner the next day. I wish I could remember her name because she was truly awesome!
I cant say enough about this place! They made this part of the celebration a breeze! With good food to go with it. Thank you Mesquite BBQ! There’s a reason you’ve been around so long!!

Smoke in the Walls, Family in the Kitchen
Since 1959, Mesquite BBQ has been serving its town the kind of barbecue you measure in generations, not just years.
From the street, the tall pole sign stands weathered but proud, declaring “Family Owned & Operated Since 1959.” Inside, a Texas Rangers–clad greeter makes you feel like a regular before you even smell the mesquite smoke curling from the pit.
The brisket comes thick-sliced with bark “black as a midnight fence post” and a smoke ring “pink as a Hill Country sunset.” Juices glisten, pooling on the plate beside golden, bubbling cheesy potatoes, glossy molasses-rich beans, and thick, buttery Texas toast.
The walls are lined with “Best Of” plaques and a grinning wild hog mount, a wink at the legacy built here. The menu boards are simple, straight to the point: plates, sandwiches, sides, and family packs. No gimmicks, no fuss just barbecue done right.
Mesquite BBQ isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a living piece of local history, run by a family that’s as much a part of Mesquite as the smoke in its walls

this place is very delicious, came very late to closing and didn’t have many option since they run out for how delicious it is. I got the two meat and two sides. It was very delicious! My husband gotten a baked potato with turkey. I couldn’t get over how delicious it has and the flavor of it.

Today was my first time trying Mesquite BBQ, and of course, everyone’s taste buds are different. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t for me. The brisket was okay, but the ribs were a no-go. They were heavily seasoned with pepper, which completely overpowered the flavor of the meat.
I personally prefer a lighter, dry seasoning that lets the meat speak for itself. If you love bold, pepper-heavy or peppercorn-style seasoning, this is probably the place for you. Just not my preference.
