Chuck's Country Smoke House - Carthage

Always fantastic! I've never had anything here that wasn't delicious. Tonight, he mentioned that I really enjoy it because he tried something different, and he wasn't lying! It was amazing! In my opinion, this is definitely the best BBQ in the area. I absolutely love this place!

Best brisket in East Texas, hands down. Absolutely with the big guys in the hill country. Chuck is a fantastic guy and the staff is great. Come there early.

This was found during the exploration near Lake Murval. A pleasant surprise! Notice the shields before... lol. Many memories, mostly sports. Sweet little corner washbasin in the ladies' room. We had cut beef sandwiches - delicious! I also liked her Bbq sauce. Not so impressed by Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad- seemed to be in advance. Sandwich came with onion, jalapeno pepper slices, and pimples slices. Overall, I liked the place and would stop when in the area. It had a good atmosphere.

This is better than 90% of the BBQ you find in East Texas. Every taste was there. Big smoke and a brilliant pepper bark on the ribs and brisket. There were a few negatives (easily boiled under and a little chewing gum), but I promise that the good definitely outweighs the bad. Don't give a chance to try this BBQ!

Fantastic restaurant! I really enjoyed my meal here. It was my first visit, and I traveled all the way from Alabama. The food did not disappoint at all. However, I was a bit let down that I couldn't grab more ribs, as they were nearly sold out even though I arrived just 45 minutes after they opened. I definitely plan to come back and give it another shot!
