Ramage Farms Country Store

Great pecan pralines. The staff is very friendly and the BBQ is yummy.

The store is great with lots of neat items. The bbq however is mediocre at best. The ribs were very fatty and the brisket was near flavorless. A shame considering how nice the people were. Maybe just an off night, but enough that we don't plan eating here again.

Unfortunately, last time I was thru here I discovered that the building had burned - nothing left. Too bad.

Ramage Farm is a "country store" and restaurant along side Interstate 30 near Texarkana. My Dad lives in the area and says this family run store started many years ago as a stand at the family farm where they sold home-made jams for many years before opening in their current location.

Whenever I'm in the area I go there to buy pecan pralines -- made with pecans raised on their farm. They make some of the best pralines I've ever had -- better than the typical ones found in New Orleans. Perhaps they're so good because they use a higher ratio of pecans than is typical.

There aren't many restaurants in the area so yesterday we decided to try their bar-b-que. The brisket and sausage was very good. The chicken quesadilla was cooked to order -- and was tasty, but a bit oily from the sauteed onions. If you find yourself driving between Dallas and Texarkana and need something good to eat, try this place.
