The loaded baked potato was enormous and delicious. The chopped brisket sandwich was excellent. Love the sourdough bun and BBQ sauce. The jalapeño cream corn was awesome! Will definitely come back!

Chopped brisket was good, but the brisket was cold in the center. They didn’t heat it long enough, also I did make them aware. Didn’t want new food but an offer to run it in the oven again would of did me justice. That didn’t happen.
Ribs were ok but very tender.
Mac and cheese tasted bland
Beans were good
Potatoes salad was good.
Would most definitely come back.

I came today, when I arrived I waited at the window for like 10 minutes and ended up having to call someone to let them know I wanted to place an order and was at the window…Then the lady had me get out of line, drive around to get back in line because my food wasn’t ready.. I got some banana pudding as dessert …When I say horrible, I mean horrible…1. I was charged $5 for it and the container was half full. 2. It was mostly pudding with 4 cookies just layed on top..3. I know this is a barbecue place, but the small amount that I did taste had a strong smoke flavor…I couldn’t even eat it…y’all should not be calling what you are serving banana pudding…

Arrived around 7:30pm, ordered a loaded baked potato. Was supposed to be made all the way(meat, cheese, & bacon). Made it home around 7:50pm and realized there was no bacon on my potato, was kind of disappointed but, nonetheless, wasn’t a huge deal. Proceeded to dig into the potato & the 1st thing I noticed was BLACK MOLD! As you can see the mold is right on top, hard to miss believe they didn’t see it when they cut it open to stuff. As if it was acceptable. Tried calling because I knew they close at 8pm and I wouldn’t make it back there in time but no one answered. So I took the pics below and threw it away. Returned the next day & showed them the pics. Ultimately, they did replace the potato but 1st implied that i was lying(based on my judgement) when the pics are clear as day. NO ONE EVEN APOLOGIZED ♀️ ohhh & I still didn’t get bacon on the remake. After spending $13.95 the 1st night

They didn’t have ribs on a Saturday at 4PM. I witnessed a woman walk in and walk out due to the ribs, or the lack thereof. Maybe they are compensatory for the service and other food. Maybe they’re a hot commodity reserved for the Brister’s elite who know to arrive long before dinner. Maybe these ribs are the closest intimation of heaven on earth you and I can hope to achieve. I couldn’t tell you, and I don’t plan on going back. It wasn’t a busy day, but it took 25 minutes for two people to get some brisket, chicken, and Mac & cheese (there were only 2 people in line the entire visit and they were behind us). I went back in “line” to order the nachos, and they gave me the wrong size drink. The nachos came out before our first order, even though they were both brisket. I can’t say the nachos were good, but I can say they were like concession stand nachos with a can of beans on top. One of the two-meat meals was supposed to be brisket and chicken but only came with exceptionally undistinguished brisket; not the worst because the chicken was dry and fell off the skin and bones as soon as I picked it up. It wasn’t the best bbq around. I’ve had much worse, though. We didn’t enjoy the nachos and didn’t enjoy the service, though we now have something to joke about. Parking was good, and the atmosphere seemed good. If you want to smell good bbq for half an hour before you eat it, then realize how mediocre it is, I would recommend this place.

The brisket was dry and chewy with no flavor. Our to-go order had sides served in cups the same size as the sauce. And no extras like pickles or peppers that other BBQ include. The people were friendly and courteous but for a $20 plate I expected more.

Excellent Barbecue Place!
I got the pulled pork barbecue sandwich and it was outstanding. Mac and Cheese was really good too and the service was much faster than I anticipated. Friendly service and I would definitely come again.

Delicious! First time eating there. I ordered the nachos to-go since I was in Ruston for some quick business. Was very pleased and Brister’s definitely holds up to their great reputation! We will definitely stop in again.

Unfortunately didn’t take any pictures. I got a ham and cheddar sandwich, a side of baked beans, potato salad, and two ribs. Flavor town. Best meal I’ve had since I’ve come to college. The sandwich is huge and juicy, tons of meat. The sides were even better. The ribs were soft and yummy. It felt worth it for $32. Peach cobbler was yummy but could’ve used ice cream. Sad to hear they close next month. Glad I got to try it before it went.
