Country Tavern

Bring a thick wallet and a thin appetite. I was very disappointed with Country Tavern. They have no menu so you have no idea what anything costs or the extra charges that will show up on the bill. More disappointing was the portion size, the fatty brisket, and the long wait for the food (30 minutes). You'll notice how thin the ribs are in the photo. When I asked the server why the ribs were so thin, she said they base it upon weight and didn't respond to my dissatisfaction. (Apparently the customer is not always right at the Country Tavern.) The weight doesn't matter if you can see that the three small ribs on the plate look like that. For the price paid, one would expect a better portion size. I should have asked, "Would you be okay serving this size portion to your mom or dad?" But it w

Very popular place! We got there at 1100 and it took 40 minutes for food to arrive. Outstanding brisket! The place filled quickly, and so the noise level rocketed sky high. They serve a lot of phoned in to go orders. No menus, all done verbally.

Best ribs in East Texas. Busy night on a Monday before Christmas. Katie was great got drinks and food order in right off. Love the place .

Just tried this place yesterday. I have tried all the bbq places in Tyler and haven’t liked any of them . I am always comparing the brisket to Hutchins Bbq in McKinney . And this restaurant has amazing brisket!!! . This will be my go to place now and definitely worth the drive !

I first went here roughly 12-15 years ago. My 1st visit the ribs stuck out in my mind that after going for lunch I had to go back again for dinner. While in the area again I made it a priority to stop by. Unfortunately this visit wasn't as amazing as my 1st. Ribs were 8/10, Brisket (moist) was 8/10, sausage 6/10, potatoes 6/10, Mac n cheese 7/10 and I'm not even a big Mac n cheese fan but this was solid. Lastly the cobbler was VERY disappointing I will give it a 4 only because of the ice cream, it appeared to be cinnamon. I love the hot towel after the meal to clean your hands and face. Lastly, it was frustrating to leave and have no cell access but that obviously is not their problem. Thankfully the gas station across the street helped me get back to the Interstate.
