Blue Ember Smokehouse

Ordered for delivery. Brisket outer crust should not be this color. Beans were not very good. Ordered spicy bbq sauce and only 1 of 2 cups were spicy. Normally this is a good place to eat but if I eat there again it won’t be delivered. Way overpriced for this lack of quality control.

First time eating here. Was nice and quiet. Loved the atmosphere. I haven’t stopped for months because I assumed it was a “higher end” smokehouse and didn’t want to feel underdressed. Decided to try today for lunch and was super disappointed to know we had been missing out this whole time because not only is is casual friendly but very relaxed. HOWEVER the food is 100% high end quality! 10/10 recommended! Best bbq in Texarkana.

The ribs are good and the different sauces.The baked potatoes are regular nothing extra. The baked beans were okay nothing like Wow. We also got the sausage pineapple. They were delicious. The service was blend and seem like another day for them. No real greeting. This was my very first time going. I might try again to see if it was just a bad day. I went on a Sunday at 11am after church. It wasn't busy. The drinks were alright. I'm just being honest because when I read the reviews it seem to be AMAZING BUT this is average. Then they assumed I was taking it out. We ate in.

Food and service are amazing! Their staff are always friendly, polite and helpful. Love their food! The brisket is so tasty! The potatoes, both the sweet and baked, are great - get em with all the fixings of course :) definitely going back!

Your experience starts in the parking lot when you're hit with the delicious aroma of smoked meats! Served cafeteria style and so so fresh! The team was super friendly and very fast. The seating layout is great with a semi private room off to the left with a big tv!
