Stacy's is a BBQ joint located just off I-69 in Jacksonville. It has been around for over thirty years and has been ranked by Texas Monthly as one of the top barbeque spots in Texas.
The spread: Typical Texas barbeque fare. Brisket, sausage, ribs, etc. You pull up to the line, take a perusal of the meats and place your order. Surprisingly, they have a nice selection of sides, mustard and mayo based potato salad, pinto beans, baked beans, corn on the cob, and much more. I chose the three meat plate of brisket, sausage and ribs.
The verdict: Oh man, these guys know barbeque. The style is East Texas (white) barbeque with heavy hickory smoke. The smoke lines are for realsies in the brisket and ribs. The brisket was lean, tender and full of smoke. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, juicy and delicious. The sausage has a nice bite to it and hit the spot. I was surprised with the quality of the sides, as they are definitely not an afterthought at Stacy's. The place is old and full of local history. I loved the decor and the no frills ambience. The ribs are some of the best I have ever had and the brisket is in the top 5%.
Edible Tyler Roses: 4 out of 5, worth a road trip from Tyler. A definite stop if you are driving to Houston (and they are open).
