Being new to Texas and El Paso, this place seems to be the highest rated BBQ joint so far. I wish I could agree. I have to agree with the 2 and 3 star reviewers and say that I have definitely had...

I'm sorry, but this is some of the worst bbq I have ever eaten. The brisket was tough as leather and the sausage was inedible. The sides were just after thoughts. I really wanted to like this place...

The best gosh darn BBQ in this whole town! The smokey, enormous beef ribs combined with a homemade loaf of bread are to die for. Don't stop at the ribs, you cant go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu....

Without a doubt the best BBQ you will find ANYWHERE. From the ribs to the brisket to the bbq sausages it is all fantastic. Their home made sides and bread are great too.

A mere shadow of its former self. Used to be one of the best barbecue places on the planet, now it's just another barbecue place. If you're there on an "off" night, you can get meat that was made...

The State Line should be considered the best Bar-B-Que in El Paso, which is nice that the company expanded this way, but also sad that a Texas chain, 600-miles from ground zero can steak claim in...

I do not think the meat tastes "old," I think they refer to that as "aged." D_E_L_I_C_I_O_U_S

I'm going to dissent. I don't like to, and I know that the locals will dismiss this as an outsider who doesn't know what BBQ should be. So, lemme get this out of the way: I've eaten and enjoyed...

That's what it's all about. Heaps of meat. Overall the food is pretty good, and the service isn't bad. The hot bread loaf is always nice.

If you want good bbq this is the place to go. The sausage is homemade and the beef ribs are texas style which means there huge. Try the homemade bread as well.
