Restaurants in Gun Barrel City

“A Hidden Gem with Heart and Flavor I had such a beautiful experience at this Black-owned barbecue spot! I first met the owner a few months ago, and when I saw her again around Mother’s Day, she kindly invited me to bring my mom by for lunch. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming you can tell she truly cares about her customers like family. She carried a quiet strength, paired with a sweet and humble personality that made the experience feel even more special. That kind of spirit speaks volumes about the heart behind the business. From the moment we walked in, the energy was peaceful and inviting. The restaurant was clean, the vibe was just right, and the staff especially our waitress was incredibly attentive. And let’s talk about the food… absolutely delicious. My kids tore it up, and even my mom, who can be a little picky, truly enjoyed herself. The portions were generous, and the prices? Surprisingly affordable for the quality and hospitality we received. This place is a gem in the community. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Our first time trying this restaurant The food was great. Friendly staff. I would Recommend 💯 to everyone.”

“Been going to this location for a while the food is awesome the service fast and friendly and I will keep coming back thanks guys for the effort to stand above the grade”

“Everything is is delicious”

“The chicken shawarma is AMAZING! As good or better than a Lebanese place I went to in Detroit. I asked where he learned to make it like that. He said Germany. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. Especially if you like spicy food. If you hate spicy, then maybe not. My kids got angus burgers with cheese and loved them. The hot dogs were popular with people in line. You may have to wait a bit at peak times, but well worth it. It’s parked in front of lumber at Lowe’s.”

“Parking: Large lot with parking at the back if you wanna burn a tree down in the parking lot it’s pretty chill

Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect place for handicap”

“For fast food restaurants, this was a very welcome surprise. We went inside at about 1:30 today. The cashier was cleaning when we walked in and immediately stopped and welcomed us to serve us. We ordered and went to get our drinks. The iced tea was very freshly brewed (still warm) and my mom commented how clean the place was. When the food was ready, it was delicious and moist. Just want to say great job to the Gun Barrel City staff working today.”

“We had a Great Meal. 5 of us Celebrating Son in Laws Birthday. Bernadette was Amazing. She was the Best Waitress. The food Rocked as Usual. We always recommend Jalapeno Tree..”

“We went here for a Birthday celebration (on a BUSY, rainy Saturday afternoon) a party of 7 (SMALL for our family of extended folks). The server, a very friendly, personable young lady, was very reliable in taking orders and delivery. I am a Military Veteran, and request the Military discount EVERY place I shop, eat, or buy. She replied, 'of course'. This being a BD celebration, I took the check, when it came; This restaurant uses 'check out @ the table' technology; so I was at a loss as to how to do it. The server walked me through it; (I do not put 'tips' on my Credit Card, so I left that option off the transaction).
{As noted, we were in Gun Barrel City, and we live in Irving, TX }(about 60- 70 miles away).
By the time we got home, about 2 hours later, I checked my receipt from the restaurant, and noted the Military Discount WAS NOT APPLIED!

The restaurant's phone number was on the receipt, so I called; I told the person who answered about NOT getting my discount; they transferred me to the Manager, a young man named Scott; he put me on hold for about 2 minutes, came back on, and said, yes,, the server was almost off duty and got confused; she readily admitted her mistake; He said, I can do one of two things, give you a refund to your Credit card, or mail you a gift card redeemable @ any Chili's. I opted for the gift card!

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WILL RETURN THERE AGAIN, AS MY DAUGHTER LIVES CLOSE BY! THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
