Very popular place! We got there at 1100 and it took 40 minutes for food to arrive. Outstanding brisket! The place filled quickly, and so the noise level rocketed sky high. They serve a lot of phoned in to go orders. No menus, all done verbally.

Just tried this place yesterday. I have tried all the bbq places in Tyler and haven’t liked any of them . I am always comparing the brisket to Hutchins Bbq in McKinney . And this restaurant has amazing brisket!!! . This will be my go to place now and definitely worth the drive !

I first went here roughly 12-15 years ago. My 1st visit the ribs stuck out in my mind that after going for lunch I had to go back again for dinner.
While in the area again I made it a priority to stop by. Unfortunately this visit wasn’t as amazing as my 1st.
Ribs were 8/10, Brisket (moist) was 8/10, sausage 6/10, potatoes 6/10, Mac n cheese 7/10 and I’m not even a big Mac n cheese fan but this was solid. Lastly the cobbler was VERY disappointing I will give it a 4 only because of the ice cream, it appeared to be cinnamon.
I love the hot towel after the meal to clean your hands and face.
Lastly, it was frustrating to leave and have no cell access but that obviously is not their problem. Thankfully the gas station across the street helped me get back to the Interstate.

BBQ can be a controversial topic; how long to smoke, what kind of sauce, or sweet or savory. Country Tavern will make you a believer in a quality BBQ. From the chopped beef sandwich to the jalapeno mac and cheese, everything is worth trying. They have a variety of sides that most BBQ restaurants do not, which I found very refreshing. They have one BBQ sauce that is phenomenal, if you can get past eating the meat without it. The ribs are fall off the bone and the turkey is one of the juiciest we’ve ever had. Make sure to come hungry because the portions are also very generous. #GoogleGal

We found this gem en route to our daughter’s game at UT Tyler! SO glad we stopped on our way home…excellent and well priced for the amount of food! Ribs-excellent! Brisket-excellent! Jalepeno sausage-excellent! Potato casserole-excellent! Spicy Mac and cheese-excellent! Cucumber salad-good, potato salad-didn’t like it. Worth a stop! We eat at a lot of bbq places and this one would be top 5-8!

Drove up from Henderson, at the recommendation from some locals. No menu, the waitress just told me the typical BBQ meat and side options. No price provided. Bill came and it was $31. Ordered 7 ribs, spicy Mac and cheese and the coleslaw. Ribs were good, as was the sides. I do like a creamy coleslaw, but the watery based option they had was decent. I was hoping to have root beer with my BBQ, but they were out. Place is dimly lit / tavern. Service was decent, but not great. Overall good experience, but I don’t think I will drive 30 minutes there and back again from Henderson.

Met some friends here for lunch.
Pleasant atmosphere.
Be advised there are no menu’s so be sure to ask the waitress for any questions you may have
Food is good…not the best BBQ joint I’ve ever been at but not the worst either.
But let me tell you, the warm towels to clean off with after the meal are the icing on the cake.
Must haves when you go:
Texas Twinkies
Banana Pudding

When I got there I was undecided what I should get. I seen everyone had ribs and looked fresh and delicious. I got my order togo and got old dried out ribs super thin as well. Place was packed for lunch and waited awhile for order. I learned a valuable lesson never trust bbq you cant see prepared bc I definitely would have said I dont them dry ribs.
