Great brisket. Read some bad reviews and was nervous. Big portions. Bun wasn’t wet. No fat beyond the normal expectation. The bun is toasted. The sauce was good and spicy. The place was clean and many in line. Customers and staff acted respectable and kind. Good place and well recommended..

Wanted to give a 3.5, I've gone there twice first time I had the Ribs and House sausage. The 2nd time I had a slice beef Sandwich and I'll Break down each food.Ribs - 3.5 - To me ribs either need to have good season or a good smoke to them. Whatever bit of season and smoke these ribs had were masked by the amount of black pepper that was on it. I like ribs with black pepper but there has to be some other flavors underneath it. I also believe they could have been cooked a bit longer. Had a bit too much bite and looked a bit undercooked.Sausage - 2 - It simply was not to my taste. Others might like it but it kinda reminded me Chorizo... maybe. Bit too much chili powder.Slice Beef/Brisket - 3 - It was tender, no smoke ring (but that doesn't count for anything) It was too salty and I like salt. The combination of Salt and pepper and whatever else was on it made it actually taste like a Hamburger. But I wasn't there for a burger. The pickles were old and they could have done better with onions. if you have time maybe get some sweet onions from the farmers market.Service - 5 - people were friendly, food didn't take long. I really like the atmosphere.BBQ Sauce - sweet runny sauce not bad / not greatI'm most likely going to remove this review. It popped up and realized I made some errors and edited so it made it seem like a new review. I Have been back again when you all were located near the crust & crumb and I still feel the same. But I will remove most this till I have a chance to go to your new location.

Food trucks are the best! Local people bringing high quality food right to us. BBQ is not an easy culinary field to tackle but Sunbird has done it. I loved their sauce and sides just as much as their meats.

Sunbird Barbecue is a winner! Fantastic barbecue and sides - my favorite is the burnt ends, they rotate what they are marinated in and so far it has not mattered...the last time I had the Arnold Palmer soaked burnt ends, which was a definite game winner. The Mac and cheese is perfect. The ribs, brisket, and pulled pork wow! The pit is right behind the food truck. They will soon open their restaurant, which will make this easier to access as it will be in downtown Longview.

Love the pork and brisket. Jalapeños are very fresh and spicy, the corn is amazing. Great tacos and sandwiches. Overall great barbecue place.

Upon a recommendation, I stopped to eat. I ordered a slice beef sandwich. The portion was substantial, the bun was toasted, and the overall flavor was great. Not to much hickory. Lot of sandwich for the price. Will definitely eat here again.

An absolute hidden gem of a food truck that's a must-visit! From the moment you step into the charming atmosphere, you're met with impeccable service that sets the tone for an extraordinary dining experience. And let's talk about the food - the Turkey tacos are an absolute masterpiece, with perfectly cooked turkey that's sure to delight your taste buds. The brisket Mac and cheese takes comfort food to new heights, and the brisket sandwich? Utterly amazing and bursting with flavor. Without a doubt, this is the finest BBQ I've ever had the pleasure of savoring. Don't even think about missing out on Sunbird BBQ!
