Mesquite BBQ Since 1959 — Restaurant in Mesquite

Mesquite BBQ Since 1959 Review

Mesquite BBQ Since 1959 is a family-owned and operated barbecue restaurant in Mesquite, Texas. They have been serving up classic Texas barbecue for over 60 years, and they are known for their moist brisket, smoky ribs, and delicious sides.

I recently had the opportunity to try Mesquite BBQ for the first time, and I was overall impressed. I ordered the brisket, ribs, sausage, coleslaw, chorizo beans, and a mesquite roll.

The brisket was moist and flavorful, but it was a little overcooked and falling apart. I still enjoyed it, but I would have preferred it to be a little more tender. The ribs were also good, but they were a little overcooked as well. The meat was still juicy, but it was a little too easy to pull off the bone.

The sausage was fine, but it wasn't my favorite. It was a little bit too dry for my taste. The coleslaw was good, but it needed something, maybe salt or a little bit of vinegar. The chorizo beans were great, though. They were flavorful and hearty.

I also really enjoyed the mesquite roll. It was a jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and herbs, wrapped in bacon. It was the perfect combination of spicy, creamy, and smoky.

Overall, I had a good experience at Mesquite BBQ. The food was good, but it wasn't the best barbecue I've ever had. The prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly. I would definitely come back and give it another chance to impress me.

Here are some specific things I liked about Mesquite BBQ:

The brisket was moist and flavorful, even though it was a little overcooked. The mesquite roll was delicious. It was a unique and flavorful appetizer. The chorizo beans were great. They were flavorful and hearty. The service was friendly. Here are some things I think Mesquite BBQ could improve on:

Don't overcook the brisket and ribs. Add more salt or vinegar to the coleslaw. Offer more variety of sausage. Overall, I would give Mesquite BBQ a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a good barbecue restaurant, but it's not the best I've ever had. I would definitely come back and give it another...

Update: After recovering from a serious bout of the meat sweats from round 1, I went back for round 2. It's as good as the last time. This time, we had the Texas toast and it's definitely a better company than the buns. The fountain drink was the only unremarkable part of the whole meal. I'd suggest sticking to the tea or the bottled drinks. The medium family meal covered 6 people with no notches left on the belt.

Original Review: This was a nice random find for me. The place has been there for decades apparently. As you arrive, there's plenty of publicity posted about how awesome they are according to this magazine or that. There's enough of it to make you go, "hm, what else is around here?" But it was empty when I showed up with my large group so we just went with it.

We ordered the 3 meat family meal and extra ribs. It covered 10 people and it left us so full we had to roll ourselves out to the car. Everything was good, even the normally pedestrian stuff like hamburger buns and unsweet tea. By far and away the best part of it was the ribs. I know saying a rib is perfect is highly subjective, especially in Texas, but these have to be pretty neighborly with the best being made in the state, at least. Whoever is smoking these ribs is in love with smoking and it comes through. You grab one, you smell the smoke, and you bite into it, for sure you'll smile and know you're in the...

I just recently had my daughters sweet 15 (02/22/2020) We had Mesquite BBQ cater our dinner for family and friends. It was the best experience I have ever had with any company catering. Not only was the food great. But Dustin Palmer the owner himself came to deliver the food to the party. My mother was supposed to pick up the food but Dustin said "No don't worry about it I will take it to you" He went above and beyond! He came to the dinner and set up the pans put the water in the pans and even started the burners to keep the food warm. I have always loved Mesquite BBQ I have been going there ever since I went to high school at Mesquite HS across the street. I have taking my children there and family members that I deeply love and care about. But now I truly know how much I enjoy and respect this restaurant. They are always very welcoming and caring about the people they serve not only at the restaurant but even outside on the restaurant. I got so many complements about how great the food was. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MESQUITE BBQ! they will always be my first choose if I have to cater another one of my parties. Thank you to Dustin & Melanie Palmer and their crew for being there and making my daughters...
