This Remote Restaurant In Texas Will Take You A Million Miles Away From Everything

In Texas, our favorite restaurants by far are the ones that most people have never heard of. The ones that are like a shining beacon of light in the middle of nowhere, with nothing around for miles aside from long country roads and the occasional gas station. My mission is to uncover as many as possible so that y’all can experience what good Southern cookin’ tastes like. I think we’re off to a good start here with Snow’s BBQ in Lexington. It’s been voted the #1 barbecue in the state by many, and I believe it’s worthy of that title.

The sign says it all.

People really do come from all over the country to the little town of Lexington for some of the best barbecue in Texas.
The pitmaster? A 73 year old woman named Tootsie who works as a school janitor on weekdays.

But come Saturday morning, she loses the uniform, dons an apron, and turns into a mean barbecue machine.
Now onto the part you've all been waiting for.

All the meat is slow-smoked to perfection and practically melts in your mouth. It makes sense considering Mrs. Tootsie has been in the game for almost 50 years.
Whether you like brisket, sausage, or anything in between, it's guaranteed to be good at Snow's.
Yelp/Casey G.
So good, in fact, that Texas Monthly voted it the #1 barbecue in Texas back in 2008.
However, be warned - it's only open on Saturdays from 8 AM until there's no meat left, and the line will be LONG.

But it's undeniably worth it because passing up the opportunity to try some of Texas' finest barbecue isn't even an option.

Have you ever been to Snow’s? What was your experience like?
