Texas Monthly Claims This East Texas Spot Has the Best Sandwich

If you were to ask me I would say that Riverport BBQ deserves a 10 out of 10 and the first time that Texas Monthly went to Joseph's Riverport Barbecue they gave them a 4.5 out of 5. See it's not just us in the Ark-La-Tex that think we have a BBQ gold mine down the road. Texas Monthly claimed, "This is barbecue that’s on another level from most of what can be found in this part of the state." Well no duh, it's the best barbecue around.

Stephen Joseph the Pitmaster at Riverport has been experimenting in the kitchen and this man deserves a trophy for all of his delicious inventions. Brisket sausage, Lebanese ribs, jalapeno cheese sausage, they're all worth the drive. Sir Joseph, on behalf of the Ark-La-Tex we thank you for your service to our tastebuds.

Texas Monthly Loves Celebrating Good BBQ and We Love Them for That.

A recent write-up from Texas Monthly has us all excited about one of our favorite BBQ spots. The write-up is "My Favorite Texas Barbecue Bites of 2024" where the author claims he traveled "far and wide" for Texas barbecue in 2024, and out of the hundreds of places that he tried, only 21 homegrown dishes really impressed him.

Joseph’s Riverport Bar-B-Que, in Jefferson Texas, Was Celebrated for its Chopped-Brisket Sandwich.

The author said "A couple of years ago, I wrote about the Lebanese ribs at this East Texas stalwart. I didn’t get a chance to eat them this year, but I did get a comforting bite of an old-school chopped-brisket sandwich on my last visit. Stephen Joseph makes a great version of the classic, with pickles, white onions, pickled jalapeños, and sweet barbecue sauce. A side of fresh-cut fries doesn’t hurt." You can read the entire write-up by clicking here. We agree this sandwich is to die for, if you have not tried this sandwich you need to get in your vehicle now and head over to Jefferson, Texas for the best chopped-brisket sandwich in Texas.

Riverport BBQ is located at 201 N Polk St, Jefferson, Texas.
