Ribmasters

Ribmasters stands as a beacon for barbecue enthusiasts along Highway 110 in Whitehouse, delivering authentic East Texas smokehouse flavors just minutes from Tyler. This family-owned establishment has carved out a reputation for serving up serious barbecue in a welcoming, no-frills environment that puts the focus squarely on the food. Diners can expect the kind of hearty, satisfying meal that defines true Texas barbecue culture.

The menu showcases time-honored smoking techniques with tender brisket that practically falls apart at first touch, ribs that slide cleanly off the bone, and pulled pork piled high on fresh buns.

The pit masters take pride in their low-and-slow cooking process, evident in every smoky, flavorful bite.

The interior embraces classic barbecue joint aesthetics with wooden tables, checkered tablecloths, and walls adorned with barbecue memorabilia and local community photos. The casual dining room features comfortable booth seating and communal tables that encourage the kind of relaxed conversation that pairs perfectly with great barbecue. The open kitchen concept allows diners to catch glimpses of the smoking process, adding an authentic touch to the experience.

Ribmasters serves as an ideal destination for families seeking a satisfying weekend meal, groups of friends looking to indulge in comfort food, or anyone craving genuine Texas barbecue without pretense. The generous portions and reasonable prices make it perfect for casual gatherings, while the quality of the food ensures that even barbecue connoisseurs leave impressed and planning their next visit.
