Amazing smoked meats and great customer service. Staff was extremely helpful navigating around allergies. Large seating areas and ice cold beer. German potato salad was delicious and the turkey was very moist. Excellent bbq!!

We stopped in for some true East Texas flavor. The ribs are absolutely mouthwatering and fall right off the bone, the burgers are BIG & juicy (both are seasoned to perfection), and the peach cobbler is the perfect sweet ending. On top of the amazing food and unbeatable prices, they offer line and country dance lessons and a live band.
Brisket Love Barbecue is also very family-friendly with a kid’s menu, wheelchair accessible, plenty of seating and a free open parking lot with plenty of spaces. The staff is welcoming and provided excellent service from start to finish. This is a must-visit spot in East Texas!

I just moved here to lindale and wanted some bbq after spending all day moving .. saw this place and it looked alright. When i got there was pretty nervous due to the size and everything didnt know if this was a bbq place or what. When i got inside however the smell was amazing. I got the loaded potatoe with brisket and pulled pork my wife got the chilli chesse tots banana puding and we got mac and cheese and scolloped potatoes. The potatoes were alright but the mac stole the show. The brisket was some of the best i have ever had and the pulled pork had a strong black pepper flavor to it which luckily i loved. The banana pudding tasted if grandma made it and the east texas bbq sauce i wish i could have bought a bottle. Not going to lie , the prices were a little off the charts but when it came to meeting expectations they killed it. We sat at the bar and met some locals and ths bartender was extremely attentive and extremely nice and friendly. This will definitely be a staple in being my bbq spot in my new town shout out to meagan the manager who was extremely nice and welcoming

I grew up doing BBQ cook offs with my dad. So to say I’m a bbq snob is an understatement. This food was absolutely amazing! Brisket was the beast I have had in many moons! Hands down the best Mac and cheese I have ever had! Nothing we had was bad. I live over 4 hours away and I’ll make the trip again. Great food and all around experience! Shout out to Melissa, Kim, & Reagan…. Great job ladies!

The place is amazing. One of the top Briskets I have ever tasted, and the sauce! I enjoyed the rings, blackberry cobbler, slaw, and mac but the brisket. . Yum! The price is a bit up there, so it would be what my husband and I call a “dinner date”. You can also learn to dance and listen to live music on some nights. Unfortunately, we were passing through a new route. . . Really fun place.

The brisket and ribs were absolutely fantastic, full of flavor and cooked just right. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and a perfect comfort-food side. The staff was friendly and genuinely welcoming, which added a nice touch to the entire visit. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and feel taken care of. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re craving solid barbecue and a warm atmosphere.

I got several family recommendations to try Brisket Love. They undersold this place. The brisket, pork ribs, sauce, and french fries (serving so large it can be shared) are top notch.
The restaurant has great service both at the bar and at the counter. They very friendly and had good recommendations. There is a lot of space and the bar area features a stage that hosts musical acts, comedians, trivia among other things.
Note: Check the dessert case to see if there is a German chocolate cake with icing in it. Snatch it up immediately as these are excellent and don’t stay around for long.

Incredible sausage and the best mac and cheese I have ever eaten in my life. I’m not usually a big sausage fan, but this was spiced mildly and so tender. Two bbq options, one tangy and one sweeter and smoky. I will be daydreaming about mac and cheese though; big shells with the creamiest sauce and hint of bacon. Very friendly service with comfortable seating as well. Nice bathrooms. Highly recommend.
