Mesquite and Oak offers delicious BBQ with a friendly, family-owned atmosphere. The brisket and smoked carnitas tacos are standout dishes. They have $5 beers on tap and amazing BBQ sauce, especially on the hotlink Sammie. The cornbread is a must-try. The restaurant fills the air with wonderful aromas that impress every visitor. Customers often praise the presentation and flavors of the meats, describing the experience as worth a two-hour drive. While some find the brisket a bit dry, the flavor of the carnitas taco consistently impresses. The brisket set may be dry, but the staff is friendly, and the quality remains high, with the food always delicious. Visitors note that they leave smelling of smoke in a BBQ way, adding to the authentic experience. Although the restaurant occasionally runs out of certain items like potato salad early in the day, this does not detract from the overall satisfaction. Many customers consider it a hidden gem for BBQ lovers, offering satisfying meals that feel like home cooking.
