About Sunbird Barbecue

Sunbird Barbecue is a renowned restaurant known for its exceptional barbecue. It has gained recognition as one of the top 50 barbecue spots in Texas Monthly. The specialty of the house is their mouth-watering brisket, available in various cuts, including lean, fatty, or a mix of both. The brisket is celebrated for its thick cuts and real barbecue flavor, setting it apart from the thin-sliced, oven-cooked versions found elsewhere.

The menu also features other delicious options, such as sausage and pork belly tacos, with the green salsa adding a fiery kick. Customers often enjoy their brisket served on a toasted bun, which is not wet, and the sauce is a highlight with a good, spicy flavor. The high quality of the meat and friendly service make Sunbird Barbecue a popular choice, despite the absence of some common BBQ items like fresh brewed tea and coleslaw.

Customers are advised to arrive early, as the place fills up quickly and the brisket can sell out by 1:00 pm. The small dining room offers a clean and respectful atmosphere, with staff and customers behaving kindly, making the wait worthwhile. Portions are large, and prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Many visitors are eager to return, especially for the brisket, which is often described as tasting like smoke-kissed heaven. Overall, Sunbird Barbecue is a must-try for anyone craving authentic barbecue and is considered a real gem in Longview.

Just passing through town today, and stopped in for lunch. I'm so glad we did, it was delicious! So good that we are taking some home for later. :) The pulled pork was cooked perfectly, ribs are outstanding, and the mac and cheese and street corn are both awesome.
Best bbq I’ve had in a WHILE. Smoked turkey was 🔥 and the brisket was cooked perfectly. Will def be back for some burnt ends 😎
Tried it out for lunch today and was amazing! Will definitely be back!
