Baker's Ribs Caddo Mills/Greenville — Restaurant in Texas

I don't know where to start, besides telling you to stop here, fill your bellies with the most delicious BBQ, and take some for the road too!! The is a local hidden gem and I'm so incredibly grateful that we found this place (happy accident!) And, for the fact that we were there 15 minutes before closing and they young man greeted my husband with open arms and smiles! .. I was playing with the donkeys next door ;) hehe too cute! As truck drivers, having bbq all over this beautiful country, and I've become a total snob about bbq. THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST I'VE (we've) EVER HAD!!! My heart was in Memphis at a well known bbq place....not anymore! My heart is here!! 15 minutes before closing and we got the most delicious, moist and most flavorful bbq, beans (amazing beans! I'm a bean snob too hehe), and slaw!!! Their spicy bbq sauce is a must try! THIS PLACE IN ITSELF IS A MUST TRY!!! after a long day of driving, I didn't want to cook, I just wanted some fabulous food to lift my spirits, and that's exactly what I (we) got! Full bellies of spectacular food equal exceptionally happy truckers! YOU CAN'T FORGET TO GRAB SOME PIES; sorry grandma, you need their recipe ;) because everything about this place is so amazing, I'm going to review on any and all Social media that I can. I'm also sending all my trucker friends this address! This is how bbq should be done. I usually top it with beans, slaw and sauce BUT I ATE THIS BBQ CLEAN! Nothing on top, the flavors just explode in your mouth, you're belly gets excited and your heart falls in love.... mine sure did! Same with hubby! WE WILL ALWAYS COME HERE WHEN IN TX, I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO DRIVE! I'D DRIVE FROM HOME (MI) JUST TO EAT, AND BRING SOME HEAVEN TO MY FAMILY!!!! Kisses to the cooks! And to the owners for doing such an incredible job!!! See you guys soon Xoxo ♡☆☆☆☆☆♡ P.S. we love, LOVE, the slaw!! (Hubby doesn't really like slaw, but this time, I almost had to fight him for some!!) P.P.S. Hats off to who ever put the pictures together! Love the style, captions, the process of many different dishes, aerial view, etc. P.P.P.S (last one, I promise!) Thank you so much for having truck parking!!!!!!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡ The End!; of my love story for this place :) until...

On Sunday, July 23, 2023, I made the mistake of stopping and getting food from the Baker's Ribs!!! I spent way too much money because their prices are crazy expensive!!! A pound of ribs costs $20.00 & a pound of brisket costs $24.00. I figure for that kind of money, the food ought to be really good!!! IT WASN'T!!!

I wasted my money. I spent $14.00 plus tax to get the one meat plate with the ribs. If the ribs has been good, then I wouldn't have minded!!! Even tho the ribs had a good amount of meat on them, they tasted as if they had been soaked in hot sauce, but NOT seasoned other than that!!! Other than the bite they had, they had no flavor!!! Then I made the mistake of heating the COLD BBQ Sauce, so that I could put it on the ribs hoping to make them taste better!!! They need to call that stuff DRAGON SAUCE because it was the same way!!! It did NOT have much flavor except that it was so HOT you couldn't eat it!!! Same as the ribs! (And just so you know, the HOT and Sour Soup I got the other night was extremely HOT, but it had a good flavor, and I loved it!!!)

Anyway, both the ribs and the BBQ are in my frig right now because they aren't edible!!! There should have been a huge WARNING SIGN about how HOT the ribs and the sauce were, so that folks would know what they were spending their money on.

There was some good food!!! The chopped brisket was seasoned just a bit and was pretty good!!! I really prefer to eat my chopped brisket with some BBQ Sauce. Of course, that just wasn't possible!!! The onions rings were obviously from a bag, but they were really good!!! The okra was also prepackaged, and it was cooked perfectly, but it had no seasoning on it!!! I would definitely buy the onion rings again, if I were to ever visit this place again. which is highly unlikely.

The strange thing about all this, is that I have eaten here before, but at that time the food was good!!! NOT sure what has happened, but I won't waste my money again!!!

The food I bought made my truck smell like beans! Beans??? Really!!! Beans!!! Beans Stink!!! I don't like beans, so I...

Would give it a 4.8/5 if I could. This was our first time here and we hope to be back soon. We ordered two of the 3 meat plates, the 3 sloppy joe sandwiches, 2 fried cheese cake pies, and 2 small drinks. Came out to $64. Not bad for bbq. We both enjoyed our food with minor complaints. My husband would have preferred a thicker more sweet than tangy bbq sauce but I didn’t mind it. He got sliced chicken and double brisket and said it was all very juicy and tender. I got brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. The ribs although fall off the bone it was way more fat than meat and the pork was very very dry so I didn’t enjoy those as much. The brisket was very juicy though. Soft fluffy dinner rolls. Next time I would just tweak my order. The free soft serve ice cream made up for it though. The pies were yummy. The sloppy joes tasted more like chopped beef not round beef which I’m used to a sloppy joe being, but I much prefer Bakers version better. If you get the 3 count it’s only 3.50 per sandwich which is a great deal. Again the sauce was a little too tangy for my husband’s taste, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches. Really big menu with lots of sides (no collard greens though). The staff was very nice and quick to serve the long line that had all ready formed by 11am. The gentleman chopping the meat behind the counter deserves a raise lol he was moving so fast. Great customer service and the inside decor was cute. Did I mention the free soft serve ice cream? I wasn’t expecting that so it was definitely a high light for me. In the back by the trucker parking lot we got to pet two cute donkeys! No sure if we were supposed to but the spotted one walked right up to me so I took the opportunity and ran with it. We almost ate pilot gas station food located next door, like we always do so this was such a nice treat. Such a great experience from...
