Desert Oak Barbecue - El Paso

We ordered takeout from this restaurant. The ribs had a delicious crispy outer layer and were cooked perfectly. The brisket was juicy, smoky, and tender. The corn was sweet with a spicy kick. The chili had a unique flavor with chunks of brisket, but I'm not sure if it's my favorite. The baked potato meal was very filling. I wish they had a TV so we could enjoy some BBQ and watch a Spartan victory. Despite the unassuming exterior signage, the food and service were excellent. We will definitely be returning.

The BBQ at this restaurant is delicious, even though the location is not very noticeable. We ordered the platter for 2-3 people for our group of 4 and it was more than enough food. The sides were also fantastic. The beers are inexpensive at $3-5 each, but water is not complimentary for some reason. The seating is limited, so be prepared to possibly sit outside or wait for a table.

We had been wanting to try this place for a long time but just never had the chance until today. The meats (brisket, ribs and sausage) were delicious! The Mac and cheese was dry and flavorless. I had the 'El Paso ' baked potato and it was OK. Overall, the new location looks great and the staff is friendly.

Very small seating area inside. A few tables outside. Try to avoid the rushes if you want a table. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Barbecue was okay. But I'm coming from ten decades of barbecue all around Houston, Tx. The chilli was very good, though, and spicy.

First time experience on 2/26/22. Desert Oak is popular sells out fast. I've been following them on social media with that I ordered online a day ahead to get what I want. 2 lbs of lean brisket (you get a choice of lean or moist) 2 full racks of spare ribs for a family of 6. And still had leftovers. Desert Oak uses prime meats so the prices are high, but so worth it. What you pay, is what you get. Desert Oak uses Texas style bbq
