Went there for the BBQ, appreciated the building and many other aspects. Frank was so kind and informative, and when we couldn’t decided on which types of meat, he gave a little samples to enjoy. The overall experience, from the staff, food, tour, was all memorable. The BBQ is delicious and made with love. I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal.
Trey and his team catered our wedding in December 2022. We could not have asked for better food or catering team. We had constant compliments all night on how it was the BEST BBQ they have EVER had, in fact we still get compliments on it to this day!!! We knew we wanted to support local, but we lucked out with some of the best food and an awesome team to serve it! Trey was great with communication leading up to the day. Thanks again Thorndale Meat Market for bringing your food and team to be a huge part of our wedding day. We will recommend you to all of our local friends and family.
First off, clean place with friendly service. We had a hamburger, & a cheese burger with bacon. 2 orders fries with a 7up & smart water, came out to $37. I felt the fries were chewy/stake, not crisp. The hamburgers are homemade Patty's & are juicy, but fall apart to easy. Tomato was cut to thick for my liking. The burger was huge but also had a distinct brisket flavor/hint, that I did not care for. Mondays are the day for burgers as the special, but $37 for this meal was over priced, for a subpar burger. This is a small grocery store & meat market also, that sells bbq as well.
I usually have really good things to say about the chopped beef sandwich but last Saturday while I was in town working, I had my boyfriend go pick us up a couple of chopped beef sandwiches & I was soooo disappointed. There were a ton of thick chunks of meat that were not even eatable ☹️ They were so hard & I’m guessing really old since I couldn’t even chew it. I was so disappointed & sadden becuz I was looking forward to that chopped beef sandwich after working outside sweating for hrs….
On my way to AUS to fly back to the Philippines I wanted one last BBQ fix. I randomly stopped by this place.
Now half way around the world, I look back fondly on this local joint.
I grew up on Texas, not far from Thorndale. In the 1970's we would get BBQ in places just like this. Indoor picnic tables. Smells of wood smoke in the bones of the building. A country store and community center as much as meat market and resturant.
For me, this was nostalgia dining. Smoked beef. Smoked pork. Not about fashion or flash. Not about getting ranked in some magazine. But about good quality. Personal care.
We could have been at a church picnic. This is the BBQ you serve your family and friends. A type of BBQ that is harder to find, but worth the effort.
God Bless Texas.
They also have a very nice coffee mug.
3.75 stars out of 5 stars.
Location got plenty of parking
Great customer service, not alot of wait for food. Clean place. Beautiful cuts of meats.
Great BBQ love the brisket. Moist great smoke ring. BBQ sauce is a little watery but has a good kick. My brisket roll was in a toast bread i asked for tortilla. Crunchy pickles.
Will stop again to try more.
This was the best BBQ I've ever had! The brisket melts in your mouth. It was so moist. The sides were amazing. The people who work here are so nice and friendly! We will definitely be back again!
For Texas, this BBQ is shameful. Brisket was so dry we couldn't even chew it. For $50, we expected something edible. Woman who waited on us was rude to all the customers as well.
The Thorndale Meat Market. This is an actual old time meat market. Fresh meat cut and sold to order and many of the same products you but in your big grocery stores. Plus they serve BBQ daily. You have to checked the pork ribs, some of the best I've ever had.
