I’ve had three deer processed here and I have been impressed each time. They are quick. Sometimes my deer is ready in one week. They are very reasonable with some of the best prices I’ve paid in years. And the smoked sausage is some of the best I’ve ever had. Period.
We just ordered 4 cheeseburgers...Yall, DON'T Change your Recipe!!! ABSOLUTELY the BEST cheeseburger I have ever eaten in my life!!! Tender, juicy, cheesy, PERFECT!! Don't go to Sonic for your burger if Tom's is open. Support local. It's worth the money, the quality beats what little difference in price there might be. The lady at the register has a sweet personality,too.
It's a meat market, lunch counter and smokehouse. This review comes after our second visit. First time, we limited ourselves to a couple of strategic purchases to get a general picture (taste) of the over all quality. Smoke is the number one product. The fresh meat and butcher shop is a close number two.
On our first visit. Two medium links, one pork rope sausage and two smoked hocks. Most sausages are made to three grades of "heat," mild, medium and hot. Also, each flavor and heat content are clearly labeled. Tasting show that the sausage is stellar on two levels.
First, the combination of meat, fat and spice is well balanced. Second, comes the deep, deep layer of smoke which the meat is subjected. You'll observe I used the adjective, deep, twice. This sausage has a gorgeous, rich, complex character. It serves well by itself or as a seasoning agent. I'd like to see him make a spicy Tasso. I know the pit master could produce such a special product.
The hocks are off the hook. One was cooked with pintos a day or two after purchase. Crazy spice and smoke which produced a dish that was unspeakably delicious.
In a conversation with the meat market manager, he freely confesses that the price of his product is higher than most. Yet, he asserted, the quality of the product speaks for itself. I tasted and have heard its reasoning.
Tom Jrs has the best quality of meats, whether it be steaks, hamburger, pork or chicken you name it. Everything they have is fresh and wonderful, the people are great and the prices are good.
It's the best meat market in Texas in my opinion they always have good quality meats and great food I been going there since I was a kid keep up the good work Tom jr's
This is my favorite place to stop when I want fries! Remember those hand cut homemade fries your momma used to make? YASSSS those... the best! They make them here!!! My favorite snack! So stop on in say hi! Grab you some of the fries and ENJOY! They also have awesome cracklins!
Smoked sausage is not as good as original tom jrs. Doesn't seem to be smoked long enough.
Original tom jrs had a slightly wrinkled, snappy skin and you could actually see bits of green onion in the sausage.
Not so in new tom jrs...beef sausage and pork green onion and garlic taste almost the same.
Original tom jrs was the absolute best smoked sausage there was in east Texas....seems the new owner is not using the same recipe and smoking process
