At East of Texas, there’s something happening every day — from $5 margs, date nights, and game nights to live music, jazz Sundays, weekend breakfast & brunch, plus rotating food and drink specials. Whether you’re here for the food, the music, or just to hang out, we’ve got your week covered.
What our customers think
East of Texas brings the bold, smoky flavors of Texas BBQ straight to the East Coast—and it’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a die-hard BBQ fan, planning a fun outing with friends, or looking for a family-friendly spot with something for everyone, this is a place worth checking out.
Beyond the food, there’s plenty to keep you entertained—play a few rounds of cup pong, challenge your crew to cornhole, or shoot some hoops. It’s a great spot to hang, relax, and enjoy the vibe.
This place exceeded every expectation I had! Lively atmosphere, unlike any other place we have around here in Winston. Tons of seating, and I was impressed with how quickly our food came out, considering the amount of people that were there. I ordered the taco salad with smoked chicken, and it was seriously one of the BEST meals I’ve had in a LONG time!!! I also tried some of my dad’s brisket nachos, and they were amazing. This is definitely a new favorite spot in Winston, and I will absolutely be returning!
The barbecue was delicious—flavorful, well-cooked, and super satisfying. The space itself is great too, with plenty of seating both inside and outside, so it never feels cramped. The service was awesome from start to finish, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. It’s an easy spot to hang out, enjoy good food, and have a great time.
