Reviews For Homer's Barbecue

4.6 stars. Everything was tasty, staff was great. Street corn was best. Now for the bad. Don't get a burger. Brisket was pull perfect, and super moist. No smoke ring though, so you cheated. Good s.oke ring on the ribs, but a tad dry and under done (pre-comletition bite). And come on, membranes left on? Pulled pork had a nice smoke ring as well, a bit dry. Tasty though. Loved the Carolina and white sauces.

Excellent All the Way Around! We were looking for someplace to go for lunch on a little drive, and we found Homers. What a great find! The food was delicious! The service was exceptional! We happened to be able to chat with the manager who introduced us to some of their menu items. Then we ran into the owner’s brother who introduced us to some of their other restaurants. Really friendly, and personable people. I love it when we discover places and people like this. We will definitely be back! And we will be trying their other restaurant for dinner too. Can’t wait share with family and friends.

Absolutely 10/10 experience at Homer’s BBQ in Henderson. Savannah and Donald were amazing — top-tier customer service all the way. My brisket was perfectly juicy (not dry at all), and I have to say... I’ve never even heard of a smoked brownie before, but wow — it was delicious. Great atmosphere, great people, and incredible food. Highly recommended!

Wow! Outstanding food! We were in from Chicago visiting family in Henderson, and we are so happy we found this gem! We tried it on a Friday for lunch and had to return the next day for lunch AGAIN! Amazing food and GREAT prices! Our server, Brody, made the visit even better! Great service, atmosphere, food, and prices!

Honestly would have given 6 stars if possible, best BBQ in the tri state area! Went tonight has some amazingly tender melt in your mouth brisket. Our server Reese was amazing attentive never once did we go without needing something she checked on us multiple times to make sure we were okay. Amazing service amazing food over all it is worth the time to check this place out!

A great place to grab some BBQ! The venue, location, and atmosphere are top notch. They had the doors open to the outside, so it was really nice to get some fresh air while we ate. They also have some great outdoor seating. They have a few beers on draft to enjoy as well. I had the brisket sandwich and it was very tender and juicy. I tried all of their BBQ sauces, and I loved their white sauce and their mustard sauce. The cowboy caviar was absolutely fantastic! The service was fantastic. This is a great place to go for lunch or dinner with friends. I highly recommend!

I've had barbecue in over 10 states including Texas. This place has the best barbecue I've ever had in a restaurant along with the best service you can imagine. 5 sauces stay on the table so you can make it taste however you'd like. The prices surprise me, how affordable they are. Highly recommend.
