The BBQ King and more — Restaurant in Clovis

Super friendly owners, even gave me a couple meat samples while I was waiting for my order.

Had their sliced brisket and ribs combo plate, along with potato salad and baked beans. Brisket tasted good, but it came with sauce already on it, I prefer my brisket with little to no sauce. Slices were kind of thin, and the consistency/texture/slight chewiness of the brisket reminded me more of a tender steak than what I'm normally used to with smoked brisket. It's good, but I wouldn't call it traditional Texas style. If I might humbly make a suggestion as a barbecue enthusiast, I like to smoke my briskets at 250 and spritz every hour with ACV until the bark has formed nicely and it's around 170 internal, then do a foil boat (leaving the top uncovered) around the brisket until 203 internal, then wrap in butcher paper coated with some rendered tallow for at least an hour or two before slicing.

The ribs on the other hand were absolutely amazing, exactly what I like. Full size, fall of the bone tender, just enough smoke flavor. This place's signature barbecue sauce went perfectly on them as well. Potato salad was also excellent, the beans were okay, came without sauce and were more savory/spicy than sweet (I like more traditional barbecue baked beans).

For dessert I got their pineapple cheesecake, which was delicious, 10/10...

Wowza this place has fabulous BBQ. I went with the ribs and brisket plate, they both blew me away. Cole slaw and mac and cheese were also great. Thank you for adding onions and pickles on the side, everyone should do that. I've tried a lot of good BBQ (one year I was even a volunteer judge at the American Royal BBQ Competition), and this place is top notch. The people who work there are fabulous and the pricing was excellent too.

For comparison, I stopped by Tyler's in Amarillo on the way to Clovis, and their brisket was inedible - it was sooooo dry. Tyler's is supposed to be an essential Texas BBQ spot, but I don't get it at all.

I came to BBQ King for a BBQ redemption and it did not disappoint. I was told the dessert sells out by Saturday, and hot damn the pineapple cheesecake is delicious. I wish I grabbed a second piece, and a slice of the banana split cake too. Hopefully they have some left tomorrow when I go back to try the fried catfish, which I hear is also yummy.

I'm here for a few more days, so I'll definitely be back. I'll update as I try...

We were driving through NM to Texas and were looking to get food on the way, was kinda late and could not find any place, wo looked at reviews, and found geeat reviews for BBQ king food truck. Decided to try out, and it was a great experience. Food was prepared fresh, very tasty, cat fish was great our 2 yo ate it at once. Briskets were great also, chicken was good, but what was the BEST, are 2 cakes that they carry, cheesecake and banana split, many folks comment on cheesecake, but we thought second one was much better, just crazy good, we wanted to get another round but they were sold out of it, unfortunately. Great prices, very friendly folks in the truck. Highly recommend...if you near this place just stop by and try...
