Deep in the heart of Rangerette Country, there’s a BBQ joint that serves up some of the most mouthwatering smoked meats in the Lone Star State. Standing the test of time, Country Tavern BBQ has been delighting East Texans everywhere with juicy brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and cheesy jalapeno sausage for over 80 years – and we don’t anticipate that changing anytime soon.

For over 80 years, Country Tavern has been the place to go for finger-lickin' good barbecue in East Texas.

You'll find the restaurant on Farm to Market Road 2767.
The interior is almost reminiscent of a saloon, with a pool table and sleek wooden bar that features high-end leather seats.

Plenty of regular seating is available, as well, so it's an ideal environment for a family dinner or night on the town with friends.
When it comes time to look at the menu, we can pretty much guarantee your eyes will grow larger than your stomach.

All of the hickory-smoked meats are absolutely to die for, but the ribs seem to be the crowd favorite.
