Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Truck stops can either be the best or worst part of a road trip. From questionable tacos to dingy restrooms, sometimes we’d rather just hold out until arriving at our destination. Luckily, we found one place that you’ll look forward to on every future long car ride. With mouthwatering BBQ and homemade jerky, fill your car and belly at Texas Best Smokehouse.
Located right off Highway 271, this charming red barn will be your new favorite pit stop on future road trips. With a full-service restaurant, dessert case, and tons more homemade goodies, gone are the days of going hungry en route to your destination.
Unlike most convenience stores, this place has a distinct personality. Quaint decor and Texas-themed souvenirs guarantee no confusion about what state you're in.
A full-service restaurant offers melt-in-your-mouth ribs, brisket, sausage, and all the other standard BBQ fare. Delicious sides like collard greens, baked beans, fried okra, and mac 'n cheese round out the hearty meal.
Load up on some decadent handcrafted truffles and thick slabs of fudge to make the next leg of your trip a bit less painful. These scrumptious treats taste like they came from anywhere but a truck stop!
Oh, and let's not forget about the cookies. Peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, and several other varieties are thick, dense, and made with love.
Leaving without a few bags of fresh jerky would be a criminal offense. A variety of different flavors are made in-house daily, offering a welcome upgrade from what you'd find in other gas stations.
