East TX trip

[Mechnech]

Was thinking of taking a trip over to East Texas around Rusk area, anyone got any have to stop at places to eat in that area.

[JaCK2U2]

Don't know of anyplace to eat. But isn't chilefarmers place around that area?

[Mechnech]

Does look like he is, might see if I can give him a howdy shout.

Mech, really good "Q" is this area is hard to find. About the best we have is Stacy's in Jacksonville. ( they do a pretty decent job been at it a long time) They are located right on hwy. 69 in front of the WM super center.CF

There's a place in Kilgore that has killer bbq, but can't remember the name off hand. I'll have to ask my wife. She is a native East Texan....

I'm thinking that "average" or even "poor" Q in your area is potentially much better than "great" Q in my area. Not really impressed with any of the places in my neck of the woods.

The Country Tavern on HWY 31 just outside of Kilgore. Best ribs in East Texas...my 2 cents.

And their BBQ Sauce is vaguely familier....hummmmm

Everybody keep the tips coming, but my wife let me change the route to start with, kinda a reverse route, gonna go to Taylor first, might be a 2nd Street adventure, then to Elgin, over to Brenham, then head back up northeast. So hopefully I will be full of BBQ by the time I arrive, if thats possiable. But I gotta have breakfast somewhere huh.

[3 star redneck]

If you go to Elgin, eat at Myers, dont eat at Southside market, it sucks...

[Go Down, Moses]

Baby J's in Palestine is certainly worth a stop for their pulled pork sandwich. Sure, I know that pulled pork isn't traditional here in Texas, but it's darn tasty. I'm pretty sure that it was the strength of that sandwich that put them in the Texas Monthly top 50 last year.

If you ever drive through Lufkin, Bodacious BBQ is my favorite. It's not far off of 59.

I second the Country Tavern. Great ribs!
