I recently visited the Texas Smoking Guns Restaurant at 3301 S Eufaula Ave, in Eufaula, AL. I walked in and was quickly seated and my drink order taken. I then asked about the menu and that night they had a taco special. The tacos were good and so were the cowboy beans. I had a chance to speak with the owner and discussed my meal and restaurants in the area. Worth a visit!
Overview
Discover Texas Smoking Guns, a Texas-style barbecue restaurant and steakhouse at 3301 S Eufaula Ave, Eufaula, AL 36027, United States. Established in December 2023, the restaurant brings slow-smoked meats, flame-grilled steaks, Southern sides, and hearty portions to Eufaula. From a food blogger’s perspective, Texas Smoking Guns is especially appealing for travelers and local diners who want traditional barbecue without giving up the option of a proper steak dinner.
The menu offers brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, St. Louis ribs, baby back ribs, burgers, catfish, steaks, loaded baked potatoes, and an assortment of appetizers. Prices remain approachable for the portions: a one-meat barbecue plate starts around $12.95, a two-meat plate at $14.95, while the 10-ounce Ranger Ribeye is about $27.95. The restaurant also provides takeout, delivery, wheelchair accessibility, parking, a kids’ menu, private dining space, catering, and a dine-in salad bar.
A must-try at Texas Smoking Guns in Eufaula is the Sliced Brisket. Slow smoking gives the beef a deep, wood-fired aroma while allowing the interior to remain juicy and tender. A January 2026 customer specifically praised the brisket as “juicy and tender,” while also complimenting the seasoning and preparation of the ribs. The brisket can be ordered on a plate, in a sandwich, by the pound, or even piled onto a Texas-sized baked potato.
The Baby Back Ribs are another signature choice. When prepared well, they deliver smoky pork flavor with a tender bite rather than simply relying on sauce. Diners looking for variety can choose a two- or three-meat plate to compare ribs with brisket, sausage, pulled pork, or chicken. For steak lovers, the Ranger Ribeye is grilled over an open flame and available in 10-, 12-, and 16-ounce cuts. An April 2026 guest praised the steak for being cooked exactly as ordered, while another recent diner called this one of the best steakhouses they had visited in a long time.
Sides add plenty of Southern personality. Cowboy beans, white cheddar mac and cheese, corn casserole, crispy Brussels sprouts, fried okra, and sweet potato casserole all complement the smoked meats. Save room for the Banana Pudding, a family recipe priced around $7.95; an August 2026 traveler called it “delicious” after trying it during a road trip.
The atmosphere at Texas Smoking Guns is casual, clean, and family-friendly, with the relaxed feel expected from an independent barbecue house. Service receives frequent praise, although consistency can vary: one April 2026 customer reported cold, tough ribs during an understaffed visit. This makes timing worth considering during particularly busy periods.
For anyone comparing the best restaurants in Eufaula for satisfying local dining experiences, Texas Smoking Guns deserves attention for its brisket, ribs, flame-grilled steaks, substantial sides, and homemade desserts. Call +1 334-232-4841 and visit hungry for a generous taste of Texas barbecue in southern Alabama.

Absolutely delicious!! Best pork chop and Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had in my life! The salad bar is fantastic with fresh ingredients! The rolls are divine! The Texas totchos are one of the best things to try!! Shelby was our waitress and she was very attentive and kind!
We stopped in with no reservations made and we were sat right away. Our waitress was Mackenzie and she was an absolute sweetheart. She made it a great experience and was very personable. I got the cowboy burger and it was delish. We also got the steak and it was excellent and made how it was ordered. Thank yall for having us!
Highly recommend this restaurant. I’m so glad we discovered it. We will be returning every chance we get. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. My husband enjoyed his perfectly cooked steak while watching the Alabama/Tennessee game. My fish and onion rings were amazing. So were the garlic cheese bites and the hush puppies! Yummm. It was so nice to meet owners and eat in a restaurant that really cares about their customers and their dining experience. A cut above the rest!
Great little slice of Texas in Alabama. Good was good. BBQ sauce wasn't "Texas" style if you get the house, it's a BBQ and teriyaki. Overall good for a group and small party
Had a pretty good meal and would definitely stop in again when in town. Shelby our waitress was attentive and offered great suggestions of the local favs off the menu. The brussel sprouts were awesome! Pictured are the “Cowboy balls”, a homemade recipe created by her dad
