Longview is barbecue country and the birthplace of Bodacious Bar-B-Q, whose name has spread across East Texas through independently owned locations. The city also has Tex-Mex, small diners and a downtown along Tyler Street with restaurants, a brewery and bars.

Many of the restaurants below are family-run, some for decades. Here's where to eat.

The Barbecue: Bodacious and Beyond

Longview is where Bodacious Bar-B-Q began. The original opened on S Mobberly Ave in 1968, started by Roland and Nancy Lindsey, and it is still run by the family, with brisket, ribs and smoked turkey off the pit. The name has since spread across East Texas through independently owned units, including two more in Longview: Bodacious on 6th Street (smoking since 1993, known for chopped-beef sandwiches) and the Bodacious Rib Shack on W Loop 281.

The newer standard-bearer is Sunbird BBQ, a craft joint on N High St smoking brisket, ribs and sausage over post oak. Texas Monthly has recognized it among the state's best, and after a few years roving in a trailer it opened its permanent home here in December 2023. It serves lunch Wednesday through Saturday and regularly sells out, so go early.

For history, White's Bar-B-Q on S Martin Luther King Jr Blvd has been serving from the same room and pit since 1952. Carter's Bar-B-Que on S Eastman Rd is a family-run counter known for brisket and chicken with a sweet dry rub; Boxcar BBQ on Gilmer Rd makes its sides, cakes and pies in house; and Mo'Phat Smoke Shack, tucked behind a car wash on W Sabine St just west of downtown, smokes brisket, beef ribs and sausage.

Tex-Mex and Everyday Food

Huarache Azteca on Estes Pkwy is a family-run kitchen known for huaraches and other Mexico City-style antojitos, Taqueria Chihuahua on S Club Dr serves al pastor and chorizo tacos, and Kitchen Guera on S High St is a small owner-run spot for tacos and Mexican plate lunches to go. Near the square, Ki Mexico ETX cooks modern Mexican plates inside Greenside Beverage Company.

You'll also find the full range of Southern and American comfort food: plate lunches, chicken-fried steak, burgers and home cooking. The chains line Loop 281 and the major highways.

Downtown Longview

Downtown's Tyler Street is the heart of the evening scene. Judd's Downtown pairs burgers, steaks and seafood with a deep bourbon list, Roma's Italian Kitchen serves New York-style pizza and baked pastas, and Oil Horse Brewing Company pours its own rotating beers, all crafted to remove gluten. Silver Grizzly Espresso roasts its own beans and stays open until 10pm Monday through Saturday, and The Bourbon Alley and Rack and Roll Beer and Billiards keep the block going late.

At lunch, Deb's Downtown Cafe is a counter for sandwiches, soups and cheeseburgers, Hot Dog Express on E Marshall Ave is an open-air stand with chili dogs and hand-cut fries, and Lil Thai House on N Fredonia St cooks pad thai and panang curry to order. For live music and dancing, The Levee on Joplin Dr has a big stage and three bars.
