The food was great, the service was fast and the food was excellent! Can't wait to go back to West Texas for this BBQ!

Amazing Texas BBQ! The smells emanating from the pit draw you in. Don’t be put off by the food truck look... this place serves some of the best meat anywhere! Eat here, you won’t be disappointed!

DB's BBQ is definitely a diamond in the rough. I had one of the best BBQ sandwiches I have ever had. The two meat sandwich portion was enough for two and melted in your mouth. The sheltered outdoor tables also gave a nicer setting than I thought at first, or expected. Nice touch with the music, decorations and guest registry. Great place. I wish it was closer to where I live so I could go back.

The first impression of the restaurant is one of trepidation given that it's a shack on the side of the road. Get past that initial impression and stop because it will be some of the best BBQ you'll have anywhere. The BBQ was succulent with the perfect char, the turkey was well seasoned and moist, and the pulled pork was not fatty and wasn't dry. The sausage was the weakest meat in that it was dry and the flavor was light. The sides are only beans and potato salad but they're well-done.

Vacation trip and local excellent reviews let us to the best food anywhere around. All meats were great. Loved the potato salad and beans. Servings were enormous. Worth the drive and price!

Delicious! I had a pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious! The sausage was also really good! A little spice to it but the perfect amount. ?

Fantastic food, fantastic views. Food is fresh, cooked to perfection and delicious. Sitting on DB's porch eating and being able to see Big Bend is an experience itself. DB is fast, friendly, and down to earth. I drove 3 hours to eat here today. Highly recommended.

I live in Alpine and try to arrange to be in Terlingua on Thursdays to be able to buy one of DB's whole chickens...SO GOOD! I love his pulled pork sandwich and Oh...my goodness his ribs are just wonderful! Everything I've tried is tasty, tender, and juicy. I work for a nonprofit organization and buy DB's wonderful whole chickens for all of my staff each year...They love getting them for Christmas! If you haven't visited DB's, you should...it is just tastefully grand!

I still have a sticker on a box. Reminded me to leave a review. I can't remember the main man but we still remember him coming out to talk to us while we ate. Super awesome and interesting guy. I would go back anytime

Don't be fooled by the rustic trailer. Some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten. DB sat and talk with us about the area, his background and the business. Top notch!

Hands down some of the best BBQ in the state. It's worth a trip to Terilunga just for the brisket! Naturally I thought my hunger was playing a trick on my taste buds the first day, so I tried it a second day, and a third - incredible each time.

The owner tried to pass off a slab of deli turkey meat as the real deal slow smoked turkey breast. When I questioned him about it, he told me, “no one else has ever complained about it.” Didn’t offer me a different meat just basically told me it was my problem. I used to work in a deli. If there are bubbles in your meat, it’s compressed parts held together with sodium. Do I wanna pay top dollar for deli meat off a truck? Nope.

Really good sliced brisket and pork ribs. Fat rendered down just right. A Lil salty on the rub...coulda used a cold beer to wash it down. We'll bring it next time. Real Mexican Coca-Cola in glass bottles was a nice treat. Definitely be back

DB's place is the ultimate Texas BBQ place. Stunning sunset views of the epic landscape of Big Bend National and State Parks. DB is a delightful bloke and cheerful host and most importantly the food is first class and generous servings.

DB's brisket is at least on par with what you can get (and pay more for) in big cities like Austin. It was absolutely incredible! Try the sausage too. Also loved the potato salad that came with the combo. We missed the ribs because he already sold out. DB takes good care of you with a nice little outdoor seating area (BYOB!).

This place lives up to its 5 star status. Seriously yummy sausage, and tender brisket. I'm usually not a huge fan of ribs, but I loved these!!! The owner was super inviting and personable too.

Enjoyed our visit this afternnoon. The brisket was amazingly tender and flavorful. Sausage and ribs were good as well. We had the 3 meat plate and it was more than enough for 2 people, so not a bad value. DB came over to visit with us when he had a free second and answered a bunch of our questions about Terlingua. Good guy that we'll definitely patronize again.

best brisket I've had in years... tender, smoky and not salty or drowned in sauce... sausage has great flavor and isn't greasy. Owner is friendly. What's not to like?

Stumbled on this by accident but so glad we did. Great food and service! My friend had never had BBQ before and the brisket sandwich blew his mind!
