Texarkana locals and visitors alike have been busy dropping stars and comments online. We thought it would be interesting to see what Google reviews had to say, and what we found paints a pretty clear picture of what the community thinks are the standout spots in town.
Right up near the top, folks can’t stop talking about Naaman’s BBQ, consistently earning rave reviews with a 4.6-star average and thousands of reviewers raving about that slow-smoked barbecue and Southern hospitality — truly a favorite for out-of-town guests and home folks alike.
Comfort food lovers are also praising Mother Kelley’s Home Cooking, with near-perfect ratings for classic Southern dishes that taste like Sunday dinner every day.
Brunch and breakfast fans point their forks toward Johnny B’s, while locals looking for something with a little craft and social vibe are dropping solid stars for Redbone Magic Brewing — pizza, brews, music and good times.
Over in the grill and casual supper category, Twisted Fork Grill & Lounge keeps steady mid-4 star reviews for burgers and laid-back eats.
And just outside town, Randy’s BBQ in New Boston gets plenty of love from folks who make the short trek for great ribs and brisket — proving good barbecue is always worth the drive.
Of course, not every place sails high — some national chains and Tex-Mex spots have more mixed reviews, showing that diners around here really do care about quality and community flavor. But whether it’s classic barbecue, breakfast with a smile, or a locally-brewed pint, the Google crowd is helping locals pick the winners one star at a time.
