Longhorn BBQ, Big Sandy, Texas, 6/21/14

sampled 6/21/14 about 4:30 pm

 This place is actually a few miles north of Big Sandy between there and Gilmer.  Inside they had a wider variety of cowboy stars on the walls than usual, with Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Hoppy, and more joining the usual John Wayne displays.  I went for the 2 meat plate with ribs and brisket and was pleasantly surprised by the quality that late in the day.  The ribs were excellent with good moisture and tenderness.  I think these were some of the best ribs on the trip.  The brisket was a bit crumbly with no smoke flavor.  Tater salad was a bit better than average. 

We didn't ask around (we never do) but it appeared theses folks are regulars on the competition BBQ circuit.  I liked their trailer.
