Got a rack of baby back ribs and they were delicious. Service was great. Loaded in the car and raced home to eat.

They do meat right! So good and tender. I only wish they were open more days and longer hours.

This is what I call a real barbecue restaurant! And so grateful for all of the help that I received from Ellery!

Great bar-b-quad meats and friendly service. Several people came in to pick up trays of carry out so we'll keep that in mind too. Atmosphere is low key but fun.

Today I made my way over to the south side of town intending to go to another location when's the craving for bbq came upon me. And thankfully to my surprise West Texas was still open. When I arrived the line was short since it was late into the lunch window. I ordered the rib lunch special with two sides. The portions were great. The staff was great. The flavor was great.

What a surprise to find West Texas today on my way home from a vacation. My friend and I were driving home from Shipshewana and we decided bbq sounded good. So she googled bbq restaurants and found this joint. It was a little off our path but worth it. This is not your typical restaurant but it does have seating indoors and out. You order at the counter then get your food and sit down. The noise level is moderate inside because it's one open space with the cooks, service counter, and line of people waiting to order or get their food. There's also music playing. The nice thing is you can sit outside at a covered picnic table if you choose. They cook the food in smokers located just outside the restaurant. The meats served are brisket, ribs, turkey, sausage, burnt ends, and pork. I choose a platter with three meats - brisket, turkey, and burnt ends. The brisket was so tender and tasty! My fav! The burnt ends were good too but a few of mine were too burnt (hard). Those that weren't were amazing. The turkey was my least favorite but it was still very good. There are many sides to choose from along with rolls or cornbread. I picked hashbrown casserole and baked beans. The casserole had a slight spicy kick to it along with some bacon! Perfect combo of potato, cheese, and bacon. The baked beans were yummy sweet. The corn bread was the least exciting thing on my plate - just not the best I've tasted and a little dry. Generous portions are given - so much I had food to take home. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend!

My husband and I have heard great things about this place so we finally stopped today and picked up ribs and hash brown casserole It did not disappoint , the ribs are so good you don't need to put bbq sauce on them , we also enjoyed the potatoes very much. This is defiantly a place you must try if you haven't already

If the prices and the hours were a little better, West Texas would get five stars from me no problem. The food here is OUTSTANDING. I tried all of their sauces, and the Big 'Uns sauce is definitely the best! The mild was also very good, although I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor in the hot. They're hardly ever open though, which is a bummer, and they don't sell actual meals with like a meat and sides; you have to buy everything separately, which means it gets quite expensive. Still, definitely worth a stop to give them a try if you can catch them while they're open!
