Good LORD I'm hooked. I just drive up and say ?️ "Here, take my hard earned money" ?I absolutely love brisket and his brisket hits just right for my liking. I usually order the sandwich. It's weighed to give you the same satisfaction each time, so that you definitely get your money's worth. It has the perfect balance of meat & fat( lean & moist) and it's salted to perfection.The meat is the star at Wades, but it's just a reflection of Wade himself ✨

A Hidden Gem of BBQ DelightsMy initial visit to Wade's BBQ was an unforgettable journey into the heart of genuine barbecue cuisine. Despite its modest setup—a tiny trailer seemingly run by a single, dedicated individual—Wade's BBQ punches well above its weight. Eager to sample a broad spectrum of flavors, I opted for an ambitious assortment: chicken, brisket, ribs, and sausage. Each dish was a revelation in its own right, masterfully cooked to perfection, showcasing the depth of skill and passion behind the grill. The chicken was succulent and flavorful, the brisket fell apart with the gentlest touch, the ribs were a perfect balance of meaty and tender, and the sausage burst with spices and smokiness. It's rare to find such high-quality barbecue, especially from such an unassuming setup. Wade's BBQ is a testament to the fact that great things often come in small packages. If you're a barbecue aficionado or just someone who appreciates hearty, well-prepared meals, Wade's BBQ is a must-visit. This place is not just a meal; it's an experience—a hidden gem that truly deserves every bit of its 5-star rating.

Amazing bbq! My fave was the chopped brisket sandwich. We were in Lufkin for the weekend and stopping here for lunch was one of the highlights of our whole trip!

We aren’t from Lufkin, but we were in the area on Saturday. I looked up BBQ places and found Wade’s. I can attest that the 5-star reviews are correct! We took home 2 lbs of brisket and a pound of pork ribs, which lasted us for several meals. The brisket was so moist, and the smoke ring/char was amazing. The rib meat fell off the bones. I believe it might’ve been Wade himself who was working at the trailer—I failed to ask…but he was friendly and quick, and the trailer is charming! It was SO yummy, we’ll definitely go back!If I had one request it would be for them to post updated prices on their FB page. The menu that shows there in a photo link is old. It may seem pricey, but it’s no pricier than eating out anywhere else and it was high quality!

I followed the Google Map directions and there was no restaurant! The only businesses were a funeral home and a bank. ?
Can't really rate the food, because Wade's was closed. Not doing business that day or out of business completely. We are doing a bbq road trip. Wade's was on my list of places to try. Maybe I should have called before making the trip or Wade's bbq should post on social media "I'm not open today."

The food is good and convenient. You get more than enough food for your money.

You're just not going to find better brisket in the area. Would be neat if they added some original spicy BBQ sauce options but, with this brisket, it would ALMOST be blasphemous. Not many open hours but that probably doesn't hurt his business as it may add to exclusivity.
