About East of Texas

East of Texas is a restaurant at the American Tobacco Campus near the water tower, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. The food is described as delicious, with excellent portion sizes and excellent service. The menu is pretty big. Specific meals mentioned include the brisket, the sweet and tangy bbq smoked wings, the Sugarland platter, the wings and brisket sando and tots, the Astro bowl with chicken, the corn ribs, the bbq sampler with chicken, chopped brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño-cheddar sausage, plus flour tortillas, guac, salsa, lettuce, and sour cream, the queso, the kids meals, the chicken enchiladas, and the cotton candy. The atmosphere is family-friendly, with live music playing outdoors, a nice breeze on a fall day, and a patio area well stocked with games. It is counter service with get-your-own fountain drinks, but staff will bus your trays, and staff was friendly. Parking is a little bit of a struggle, and prices were on the higher side. The restaurant also has a bar and a freezer full of trays of their food for take home meal options.

Delicious, with excellent portion sizes and excellent service!

I particularly enjoyed the brisket and the sweet and tangy bbq smoked wings. A nice addition to the American Tobacco Campus!

This was our first time here with our family of 7 and we all loved it. There was live music playing outdoors, the wings and brisket sando and tots were delicious, and then Jennifer gave all of our kids cotton candy at the end of the night. That machine is a fun idea btw.
