Slaughter’s BBQ Just Went Next Level
Gone to Texas Travel Post – Slaughter's BBQ in Sulphur Springs
When driving through Sulphur Springs, located in Hopkins County - home of historic charm, a picture-perfect square, and now one of the best barbecue joints in Texas—do yourself a favor: pull over and follow the smoke.
Slaughter's BBQ has officially landed on the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints for 2025, and trust us—it's a well-deserved honor. This isn't just another spot with good brisket. This is pitmaster poetry, written in smoke, spice, and scratch-made sausage.
Where to find it: 107 Magnolia St., Sulphur Springs, TX
When to go: Wednesday–Saturday, 11 AM until sold out (and yes—they will sell out)
What to order? Doesn't matter. Everything's legit. But if you walk out without trying the golden Oreo banana pudding, we can't help you.
Find them on Facebook.
Small-town Texas is doing what it does best—feeding your soul through your stomach. Congratulations to the Slaughter's crew. We're proud to have you in our Gone to Texas story.
Next road trip? Already planned. See y'all in Sulphur Springs.
