Spirit of Texas Craft BBQ

Ordered the chicken plate to go, plus peach cobbler. Meat was very tender but a bit dry. Would like to try the brisket or ribs next time. The food was only so-so for me and I think it was a matter of taste and seasoning preference. Too much smokey flavor in the mac and cheese. Husband wasn't a fan of the potato salad either. And the peach cobbler had an odd flavor as well. I'm not sure what it was and maybe it was only our taste experience. I would try another meat next time, but a hard pass on the sides. It appeared to be a popular place, so others must like it more than we did.

We ordered pulled pork, sausage, Mac & cheese, and corn bread. The sausage is closer to chorizo that traditional bbq sausage, but had a good flavor. It was a little spicy if you're sensitive, but tasty. The pulled pork was fairly bland with just a hint of smoke. It definitely needed sauce, which was provided on the table. The Mac & cheese stole the show by far. It was excellent in every respect.

It is worth the money spent. I’ve had the brisket, pork ribs, spicy mac & cheese, green beans w/smoked turkey, potatoes and banana pudding. All of it was delicious. They allowed me to sample the Brazilian steak (only on weekends) and the potato salad. The Brazilian steak can be a bit more tender & flavorful and the potato salad is a no. There is mustard based and mayo based imo regarding potato salad and I think theirs is mayo based. I am a fan of mustard based and like it chunky. Theirs is too mashed..not a reason to not keep going there. The meat after all is the heart of the restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go. You will enjoy. Tender and flavorful. Make sure to get your original and spicy bbq sauce, pickles, onions and jalapeños. All free and goes beautifully with the food. In the photo, I fashioned my plate that way. (I was so hungry couldn’t wait til I get home as I live in Victorville)..It’s not how it’s given . You order your meat and another staff serves the sides and then you pay. I wish I took pictures of everything but my belly was impatient second visit.

Food at this place was amazing. Really good smoked barbecue. Service was great as well. Walk up to the counter, order your food and receive it immediately. I gave four stars because this place is extremely overpriced. Spent 50+ dollars, and I was the only one eating! I know barbecue can be expensive but come on. Food was on point like I said, but I don’t think I’d be back based on their prices

If you're in the Inland Empire and craving real Texas BBQ, Spirit of Texas in San Bernardino is worth the trip. They smoke their meats for 4 to 14 hours with white oak and you can taste it. We tried the brisket sandwich on a fresh bun with cole slaw and cornbread straight out of the oven. Everything was tender, flavorful, and the portions were generous. Their house BBQ sauce hits that sweet spot, not too sweet or salty. The server even let us sample the other meats which was a nice touch. Sides are solid too. Mac and cheese, baked beans, green beans with turkey. For dessert they have peach cobbler and banana pudding. Place is clean, parking is easy, staff is friendly. A friend who's obsessed with BBQ recommended it and now I get why. We'll be back.
