Thorndale Meat Market

Grade S++ combo here. Best smoke turkey and burnt ends I've had. Brisket was good but the turkey and burnt ends outshines it. They were meaty, tender, and full of flavor. Mac and cheese and potato salad taste like a hug from grandma at the family cookout. 10/5 go get ya some.

Trey and his team catered our wedding in December 2022. We could not have asked for better food or catering team. We had constant compliments all night on how it was the BEST BBQ they have EVER had, in fact we still get compliments on it to this day!!! We knew we wanted to support local, but we lucked out with some of the best food and an awesome team to serve it! Trey was great with communication leading up to the day. Thanks again Thorndale Meat Market for bringing your food and team to be a huge part of our wedding day. We will recommend you to all of our local friends and family.

Went there for the BBQ, appreciated the building and many other aspects. Frank was so kind and informative, and when we couldn’t decided on which types of meat, he gave a little samples to enjoy. The overall experience, from the staff, food, tour, was all memorable. The BBQ is delicious and made with love. I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal.

On my way to AUS to fly back to the Philippines I wanted one last BBQ fix. I randomly stopped by this place.
Now half way around the world, I look back fondly on this local joint.
I grew up on Texas, not far from Thorndale. In the 1970's we would get BBQ in places just like this. Indoor picnic tables. Smells of wood smoke in the bones of the building. A country store and community center as much as meat market and resturant.
For me, this was nostalgia dining. Smoked beef. Smoked pork. Not about fashion or flash. Not about getting ranked in some magazine. But about good quality. Personal care.
We could have been at a church picnic. This is the BBQ you serve your family and friends. A type of BBQ that is harder to find, but worth the effort.
God Bless Texas.
They also have a very nice coffee mug.

First off, clean place with friendly service. We had a hamburger, & a cheese burger with bacon. 2 orders fries with a 7up & smart water, came out to $37. I felt the fries were chewy/stake, not crisp. The hamburgers are homemade Patty's & are juicy, but fall apart to easy. Tomato was cut to thick for my liking. The burger was huge but also had a distinct brisket flavor/hint, that I did not care for. Mondays are the day for burgers as the special, but $37 for this meal was over priced, for a subpar burger. This is a small grocery store & meat market also, that sells bbq as well.
