Brisket Love Barbecue & Icehouse

Very friendly and witty staff. Excellent food and simple presentation. I love BBQ, and this place ranks VERY high for me. Their parking lot has room for my rig and the indoor seating is massive. I'm 6'6" plus my boots and some places seem tight to me but this place is roomy in every way with plenty of seating and walking room. The food itself has been top notch every time I go.

Excellent food! Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. We got there late in the day so they had run out of a couple of items but they had lots of other options to choose from. We got smoked turkey and pulled pork sandwiches with mustard potato salad, mac n cheese and green bean casserole. So much food that we couldn’t finish it. Highly recommend. We will stop in again when we are coming through the area.

This place is absolutely incredible!! (Gluten free menu / staff super friendly & aware). — Stopped here on our drive back to Dallas and were absolutely taken aback with the sensational service, food, atmosphere etc! ***Hannah & Kirsten were so charming & went above & beyond to make the experience a wonderful one! We will literally be stopping by here anytime we are near Tyler 🤩 Hannah thank you again for your wonderful hospitality!! 🙏🏽🥰

This is a real Texas Roadhouse style bbq restaurant. Brisket is some of the best we’ve ever had. It’s a typical order at counter, then take your tray. There’s a full bar and a couple family rooms. It’s a couple miles off I-20 but well worth the trip. The cheesy scalloped potatoes are better than my mom’s…by far.

Go to bbq meca! Seating sections various perfect for this type of menu. Mesquite trees in front shows real attention to detail which is reflected in the next level food. Live music from time to time.

In the back country roads of Linwood Texas lies some of the best BBQ champions! We will go across the country for these BBQ pork ribs! The brisket is in a tie with Lewis BBQ in Charleston. The bacon mac& cheese will turn you into an addict. I feel sorry for the vegetarians of the world, the food here is amazing (I am a conditional vegan 🤣). We tried the Stanley Williams Burger, which had 1/3lb burger with 1/3lb brisket, egg, bacon and more fixens, this burger changed our life. So just send it, bring your BBQ-lover friends and family, sit back and just enjoy! If you are looking for one of the best BBQ joints, come here! And do Inhave to mention it's family owned and operated, which are my favorite stops. Thank you guys! We'll be back.

Off the main highway about a mile and WELL worth the short drive. Loved the salad options and appreciated the gluten free choices.
They also have great looking burgers. We tried the ribs, the brisket sandwich and the Brisket Love salad. We also had cobbler. Our favorite side was the Mac and cheese. It was fantastic!

The best BBQ in all of East Texas...and it's not even close. A lot of that has to do with their BBQ sauce being #1 and the lean brisket is perfect. Just pure perfection. Top 10 favorite spot I've ever been to. All the sides are great, too. It's off the beaten path but so worth it.

Food was absolutely stellar, and side options vary slightly weekly. Live music on weekends is believe as well. Definitely worth a visit

First time visitor....The food was superb! I ordered a Brisket plate w/mac & cheese + pinto beans and my son ordered the Stanley Williams burger (Burger w/Brisket, fried egg & bacon). Both plates were clean! 😂 Their BBQ has a nice flavor. Nice atmosphere. Great service. We will be back if we are in the area again.

Great little place for food. Staff has always been nice the building is always clean. They have a lot of options but the brisket is the best.

Wife and I arrived Friday evening May 12, 2023 around 7:30 PM. They were planning for a live concert in the music venue area, but there was plenty of seating to be found. When you first enter you walk through like a cafeteria style and order your food, receive it, and pay for it right there.

Wife loved the ribs and I really enjoyed the BBQ. She described them as smoky with a light sweet flavor, and the brisket was very tender and melted in your mouth. The potato salad was a German style, which means it was warm - and it was gooood. Full bar inside the music venue had everything from local beers to national beers and whiskey from all over.

Our bill came to $31 - that was a two meat plate with a side and a one meat plate with a side. Our two drinks came to $13.

phenomenal barbeque. haven't had a single thing here I didn't absolutely fall in love with. definitely try the potato salad! full bar with a ton of beverage options to choose from. a must-go in east texas

We just stopped and ate here on our cross country road trip and it was SO GOOD! The burger was honestly the best I’ve ever had. And we finished it off with pecan cobbler and cinnamon ice cream! The girls working were also very friendly!

Best brisket I’ve ever had. I would probably have this served at my wedding. If I ever went to prison I would choose this restaurant as my last meal. If I ever give birth again I want this food waiting for me after I push my child out. My new favorite place!!! Brisket was delicious

The people were really nice the food was really good it's hard to find barbecue that good anywhere the price is where a little higher than I would like for them to have been but with the price of beef these days it was expected

This place is quickly becoming a family favorite. After a trip to Dallas, I wanted some BBQ, we were going to stop somewhere on our way home but decided to get something local. I am so glad we did! The brisket was so good, I honestly don't think I have ever had brisket that tasted nearly as good as what we ate at Brisket Love.

We really enjoyed our meal here! The brisket was good, but the pork was the real star here! (In my opinion)

The ribs were freaking delicious---tender, flavorful and glazed with some seriously tasty sauce! The pulled pork was moist with great flavor. The jalapeño sausage was excellent.

The next awesome surprise was the German potato salad! I haven't had German potato salad at BBQ. It was really good...it's a little sweeter than I make...this is just informational not critical. Some like sweet some like it sour.

I cannot forget to mention the customer service Everyone was friendly and helpful. The cashier even stopped to help me carry my plates outside.

We ate outside, and there is nothing better than eating outside with a beautiful lush meadow of grass and spring flowers in the background!!

This was definitely a top 5 Texas BBQ experience. We will be back!!

From out of town looking for some place with hometown style cooking and definitely hit the nail right on the head with Brisket Love Barbecue. The staff was super friendly and recommended The brisket the sausage and the ribs and everything was absolutely amazing.

Loved the visit at brisket love. We had the baked potato and the Parker Ray Shelton which I would recommend it was really good.
