If you’re looking for the best barbecue in all of El Paso, we’ve got you covered! Keep reading to learn more about some of our favorite go-to smokehouses.
State Line
The magical flavors that come out of State Line’s smokers and kitchen attract visitors from across the city and state. We’re talking BBQ heaven with an assortment of platters that include chicken, peppered turkey breast, and our favorite, State Line’s Original Lean Brisket Platter.
Their team of smokers is the best in the business, up at the crack of dawn each morning to have mouthwatering meats ready for you at lunch. Don’t forget to order some of their popular homemade bread!
Rudy’s Country Store and BBQ
In the heart of the downtown core is where you’ll find RUDY’S COUNTRY STORE AND BAR-B-Q. This legendary smokehouse opened its doors in 1989 and has been slow cooking to perfection ever since.
The secret behind Rudy’s cooking process is the use of slow-burning oak wood rather than mesquite. Combine that with their homemade dry rub and sauces, and you have yourself a recipe that delivers some of the best BBQ in the whole state of Texas.
Rib Hut
If you love fall-off-the-bone ribs as much as we do, you’ve got to pay a visit to this establishment that’s been dishing out savory ribs since 1984. Rib Hut’s pitmaster’s 20 years of experience is apparent from the very first bite of food you order.
They do ribs better than anyone in the city, but also offer incredibly tasty classics like brisket, smoked chicken, and sausages. If you’re going with the family or group of friends, enjoy one of their bountiful BBQ platters!
Desert Oak BBQ
Desert Oak BBQ is located on the East side of the city and is one of the top spots to score delectable smoked meats and classic sides. Everything on the menu will tantalize your taste buds, but we suggest the brisket or smoked chicken – and can’t recommend the mac and cheese enough!
Desert Oak is also known for its warm ambiance and friendly staff, so you can enjoy a day with your family and feel like a part of theirs.
Johnny’s Pit BBQ
Tender, juicy, glorious, and smoky: these four words best describe the magic you’ll experience with every bite you take from Johnny’s brisket, pulled pork, and anything else you order off their menu! Johnny’s Pit BBQ has been proudly serving generations of customers since 1955. This family-owned establishment puts pride and love into its dishes with an array of spices and seasonings that will make you regret the day you ever considered becoming a vegetarian.
Tony’s the Pit BBQ
Tony’s The Pit BBQ serves up an assortment of classic meats and sandwiches that are sure to have your taste buds thanking you! Their brisket and pulled pork sandwiches are piled high with perfectly seasoned meat and slathered in a flavorful homemade sauce. They feature different specials every day of the week, so you’ve always got a delicious reason to drop in.
With so many delicious options out there, you’ll have a hard time deciding which is your favorite! Quench your BBQ craving at any one of these decadent establishments – you may regret having waited so long!
