Pittsburg Hot Links

  A newbie should start with 4 and try a little ketchup . My average order consists of 6 - 8 links. Someone with a larger appetite, like my husband, would eat about 12. He also likes what is called the Chi Hot Che.

  I  passed by this place several times before I finally decided to stop and give it a try. I ordered 4 hotlinks, frito pie and peach cobbler. First of all I dont know why they call them "Hot Links" they are not HOT! I didnt care for the links because they are too soft textured and im not used to eating  links with a fork a nd crackers. The frito pie needed way more chili on top to chew all the fritos they put in it. The chili on the frito pie  wasnt much but it had good flavor. The peach cobbler was good but it had a little more cinnamon than im used to. If I go back I will just ask for extra chili on my frito pie.

  Pittsburg Hot Links took a little getting used to: very small, extremely coarsely-ground (which I like), soft chewy sausages with breakfast-sausage seasoning; I was happier after eating three or four than just one.
  
  They also served an excellent seafood gumbo, which surprised me less as this visitor from far away traveled further around and found that east Texas proved to be at least as well supplied with Louisiana country cooking as were the parts of Louisiana I got to.

  Visiting my brother and his family in Pittsburg they told me I had to try the fare at Pittsburg Hot Links.  I wasn't disappointed.  A classic slice of East Texas.  The hot links and BBQ were great.  Very friendly staff and customers.  The whole meal was what I'd looked forward to when I visited my brother, a classic East Texas experience.

  I read that Pittsburg Hot Links was established in 1897 so I had to give it a try.  The hot links have a unique taste that I think is due to the organ meat that is included.  It's a bit "gamey" compared to most hot links I have tasted.  Some people may not appreciate the flavor.  I too was impressed with their jalapeno cornbread, which was more of a muffin with corn than the corn meal creation to which I am accustomed.  The links are served on butcher paper with saltine crackers and homemade Louisiana-style hot sauce.
  
  The highlight that made the trip worth the drive was the seafood gumbo.  It was off the hook.  Their homemade desserts were very tempting and many of the locals were there just for their desserts, but I was too full to try any.  I'll save room next time.

  Not impressed.
  
  I'm just not into the soft hot links.
  Staff is friendly. The restaurant has a cool vibe. The cornbread is even good, but I can't get into that sausage....and I am a carnivore to the nth degree.

  When ever I'm visiting east Texas, there has to be a special visit to Pittsburg Hot Links. The place has been in the  same place  for over 100 years. although ownership has changed, the quality of the food hasn't. Prices are extremely cheap and as always, everything in Texas is in large proportions! It's a place where you can enjoy the southern hospitality that Texas offers...All of which are ( Home made) their famous Pittsburg hotlinks, real beef hamburgers on Texas toast, home made chili, real deep fried okra, real home made corn-dogs etc. My wife and I tried two dishes that were definitely made us come back the next day! One was jalapeno cornbread and another was a version of Nachos, called "Frito Pie" which really are Frito-Lay Corn chips smothered in home made chili, Cheddar cheese, onions and jalapeno peppers. And boy is it every so good! My father was born and raised in Pittsburg,Texas and as children my parents had always taken me and my siblings here every summer to stay with our grandparents, and ever since then I've been coming back to Pittsburg Hot Links as an adult every time I visit East Texas. The funny part is that this is a very small town, but many famous celebs have found their way to this small establishment and taken photos and left their remarks! I guess that says something...that good things come in small packages? I love this place and everytime I am in East Texas, I will make a point to visit Pittsburg Hot Links!
