It’s been a while since I’ve published any kind of restaurant review, but I feel the need to share my thoughts. First and foremost, I want my intentions clear. I’m not a food critic, nor am I a trained food conaseuir. I’m simply a well traveled individual that wants his opinion notated. Secondly, I want it known that I consider myself quite gifted in the area of cooking BBQ. I consider this of myself, because I have a huge offset smoker, and I’ve cooked super huge spreads for my friends & family… So, with that being said, here it goes.
This was my first, and sad to say last visit ti this establishment. I ordered the 3 meat plate knowing only after asking the folks behind the counter if the chicken, brisket & ribs were fresh wholly expecting it be. This was not the case. #1 the chicken meat was decent, however the skin was rubbery & bland. #2 the rib meat kind of tender, but extremely over cooked with hard parts toward the ends & again bland. #3 the brisket meat provided to me was only from the flat. While it did hold together under its own weight, and it passed the pull test, the quality was HORRIBLE. Extremely dry & once again, the meat was bland. The 3 meat plate came with 2 sides & bread, however, I wasn’t even offered bread. I chose Mac N Chz & green beans for my sides. The Mac n chz was a good temperature, consistency, and many fine ingredients. I had no problem with the quality of this side dish. My 2nd side dish was green beans, and while they had a good temperature and consistency, they were bland. My last item was the sweet tea and it was excellent.
I could write so much in this review about the finer points of cooking BBQ, and I could include many great tips. However, I don’t think my fingers would like me doing all that typing. I’m leaving this review to express my opinion, that the quality of food produced from Circle H was extremely lacking taste, presentability appeal, and of the food that I ordered I through 98% of it away. I took one bite from the brisket, 1 bite from the ribs, & 4 bites from the chicken. I have to give at least one star for this review, and here’s why. The folks were kind, the Mac n chz was good, & the sweet tea was delicious. Also, have to give 1 star for the quality & quantity of food for the price. 3 meat plate with drink plus tax was $21.65
Hope yall have a great day.

We have eaten here twice now and each time everything has been super yummy and tender. My favorites are any of the ribs, pineapple sausage and boudin but everything we’ve had is really good. We can’t wait to try the catfish next.

Found this place while working just over the border in LA. What an awesome, unassuming little spot with a really friendly staff. Stopped in for a late lunch so they were out of pulled pork and ribs which I normally have. I was still able to try the brisket, chicken and jalepeno cheese sausage. The meats were good all around, but the chicken really stood out. It was tender and surprisingly moist with an amazing spice rub.
Will definitely be back when I’m in this area again.

Hands down the VERY BEST BBQ, I’ve had.
Their prices are great along with the food.
Service is prompt and did with a Smile, cleanliness is Awesome.
Their menu has variety! From pineapple link sausage to BBQ tacos. I’ve never been disappointed!
The owners, they give back. Whether it be hometown, across the state or neighbor, it shows in their Food and Emoloyees.

Pulled pork bbq sandwich was huge, tender, and tasted great! Definitely worth the stop 🙂

They drove 13 hours from TX to WNC to provide food for; not only people in need, but frontline workers performing disaster relief. All for the sake of being humanitarian. I’ve never been to Texas, nor had Texas BBQ, but I’m willing to drive 13 hours just to reciprocate. If you decide to give them a try, definitely go for the smoked chicken. You will not be disappointed.

We found this place on our way back up North to Illinois. Well worth the detour. Great food and service . Sides were homemade . I can’t believe this place has a 4.6 on google on Facebook it has a 5.0 if I could give more stars I would it is a 10 in our book. So when in Carthage Texas please look up this business . Help a small business out. You will not be disappointed. Can’t wait until the next trip to Houston this will for sure be a stop we make .

It’s BBQ. Not amazing BBQ, but BBQ nonetheless. It’s certainly not the best BBQ in the area, but the portions are great. Would prefer more fat, more pepper, and less salt on the brisket. The brisket is also overcooked, but a perfectly fine base for chopped beef sandwiches. The pork ribs are perfectly salted but under seasoned and overcooked. The smoke on each was perfect, though.
The staff is great and the restaurant is well organized.
I would NOT recommend the dirty rice or the mac. They’re oversalted and not very good. I had a bite or two of each and threw them away.
I tried very hard not to be too critical on my review. I enjoy smoking BBQ and I also enjoy BBQ from all over the state. I’ve had much worse (i.e. Jim’s in Waskom, Cooper’s on I-10 in Junction, Porky’s in Marshall,) but I’ve also had some pretty top flight Q around the state. Circle H could be much, much better. The rating is not at all indicative of the service I received or the people in the business. Perhaps it was an off day, and I wouldn’t be upset if someone was determined to go back, but I know of a few other spots in the area that are much better, one within a mile.

Stopped here on a whim. We are camping at Martin Creek. Amazing brisket and ribs. They give huge amounts of meat per serving. Sides are great too. Nice people. A TON of local workers seem to eat here. Good place worth the stop.
