Kevin HaffertyJune 24, 2017Is it easy to say Everything? Yes, it was all great. The brisket was so tender, it melted in my mouth. Turkey, sausage were just as good. Well worth a trip and watching the pit masters was a treat.Upvoted 1 day ago
If the brisket is fresh, go for it. The turkey is awesome. Corn is better without butter. Sweet tea is awesome. Fries are huge but awesome. Beer selection is rubbish, especially for a Texas BBQ joint
Megan S.January 1, 2016The Sausage, Baked Sweet Potato and Fruit Salad were delicious. You order the meat by the pound which was new to us. If you like beans, don't forget to get a cup from the bean pot - very tasty!
Jorge R.February 15, 2018Meats are excellent. By the pound, sausages, ribs, brisket, chicken, turkey, etc. The guys at the grill are very helpful. The sides delicious. Pay, sit inside/out and grab some sweet tea.
TKApril 9, 2018Brisket and prime goes without saying but what will surprise you is the Mac and cheese & the banana pudding ,got sweet buds then get the sweeten ice tea
Tanto 陈子兴October 3, 2018Do not wear any fancy clothes because when you were waiting all smoke from BBQ will smell. The food and environment so nice& the important thing know your portion when order because you pay by pound
Tim FarleyMarch 10, 2017The meats are front and center here, as the entrance takes you right into the area where they are being smoked. You get your meat first, then the rest of the items for your order. Simple and fast.
Dfw DeanDecember 15, 2017Good smoke flavor on the sliced brisket: shame it was bone dry. Sauce to the rescue.Pork ribs were better. Flavorful and tasty with a little tug to get them off the bone.
Scott NorrisSeptember 21, 2014Good setup, walking you thru the cook space to order. All looks good but suffers from trying to spread a good thing to too many: tastes good but thin. Best to go off-peak times for their best stuff.
Dani LoweNovember 19, 2016Awesome food! Great brisket & jalapeño sausage links. Sides are tasty as well. Great place to go to when you're really hungry!
Shawn McClendonJuly 5, 2018OMG.... boneless pork chop dipped in garlic butter. 2 inches thicker smoke ring and cut with plastic fork. Slap yo mama good!!
You know it's gonna be good when u see pallets of wood in the pkg lot & the chimneys on the roof. Walk through the pits to get to the stand where all the BBQ is on display. Chicken jalapeño poppers
Hermann BrandiFebruary 11, 2019Everything is good. I tried the best brisket I have ever tasted. Be ware. You will take home a lot of food.
- Cam ByrdFebruary 3, 2016Amazing Texas BBQ in a fun environment. I really enjoyed the brisket with pickles and pepper sauce.
Order a little of everything by ordering 1/4 lbs of the meat. The jalapeno corn and potato salad are good also. The beans are also great tasting. Beware, your clothes will smell like smoke.
Mark HurleyAugust 31, 2014Amazing food! Sauce, mac & cheese, cobbler excellent. I wish it was closer to home. They will ship their sauce!
Ivan BetancourtAugust 21, 2015Great food and service here is excellent. If you don't know what to order ask them, they are very helpful and you can even ask for a sample.- kelsey hendersonMay 24, 2015Wow. Meat served by the pit masters themselves and paid for by weight. Get as much or as little as you want. So good. Definitely worth a visit or 2
- Jeff GrandstaffAugust 27, 2016Everything is awesome! Not a fine dining experience. It's heaven for those of us who smoke and grill our food.
Kevin Austin DJuly 16, 2014A tad pricey. Brisket was good Ribs were a little chewy and gristled. Roasted corn, Mac, cheese, cream corn were all bomb. Gotta mix the hard 8 pepper sauce on the table with the BBQ sauce. 6.5/10- Lee DiazJuly 8, 2018Quality Texas BBQ just a stones throw away from DFW Airport. Try a few shrimp (or chicken) poppers to start with brisket (of course, brisket!).
Brittney PotterMay 8, 2015Great food & atmosphere. A little on the pricey side. I had their brisket, baked potato, & Mac n cheese! Won't disappoint! Good sweet tea too!
Lance CrawfordMay 3, 2013Think with your head and order less than you think, because the amount of food from meat to veggies, to deserts, soups everything....WOW! And it all Taste wonderful!- Phil KoziolNovember 22, 2019The pork ribs and jalapeno sausage! We came here after playing Zero Latency. Worth the drive! It was amazing! Such a good night out!
Vadym PinchukFebruary 9, 2020Real meat place. Enter hungry - out happy and smoked ))) but still happy. Only in Texas. Only for meat lovers. Highly recommended.
Richard RevillaOctober 4, 2017This is good a BBQ gets. Get there early to avoid deep lines and order by the pound.- ᴡ MillerMarch 1, 2016Great meats and awesome atmosphere. Oh and the jalapeño corn salad side is fantastic!
one of the best bbq places in Dallas. try everything but my favorite is the sausages, ribs, and their sweet jalapeño sweet corn!- Patrick JonesSeptember 12, 2014Chicken poppers are perfect. Blackberry cobbler is good too. The brisket doesn't have much burned end, though.
Abi PanickerSeptember 19, 2016Great food, gets buddy for happy hour and dinner, get here early, hidden bar and seating area past double doors inside
Pallavi Arora ParmarOctober 19, 2013Chicken kabobs are splendid. Don't miss the BBQ pepper bottles sauce kept on each table. And a super rocking bean ham soup on the house.
Dave TraceyJune 29, 2014Among the best pit bbq that I've had. Very generous with portions too. This is great place to visit if flying in or out of DFW.
Cynthia Solis ☕☕July 17, 2015All the meats we tried were great. Brisket was tender, chicken was full of flavour, sausage was hearty and not greasy. Well worth the price!
Peggy HarrisFebruary 17, 2015Great BBQ meat! Brisket, ribs, ham, turkey - it's all Excellant. Come hungry. But be careful what you order it easy to over do it and it gets pricey.
Michael McMillanOctober 7, 2014Do not forget to get some turkey with spicy BBQ sauce! An easily missed treat.
Tiana KennemurNovember 27, 2010This place is a great, family-friendly, authentic mesquite grilled BBQ place. The sausage is awesome and the chicken wrapped in jalepeno, bacon and onion is juicy and just perfect. Highly reccommend!
Everett SwainFebruary 3, 2019I LOVED this place! The ribs, ribeye, bacon wrapped shrimp, corn on the cob, and fries are amazing.
Shey VenturaOctober 25, 2016Amazing BBQ and great Texan experience for tourists for sure! Great for large groups and families.- D LusionalDecember 2, 2015Brisket, jalapeño sausage, jalapeño and shrimp poppers, pork ribs...All DELICIOUS!!!
- Jerry WilliamsonDecember 15, 2015Brisket, chicken poppers, jalapeño sausage, and the BBQ sauce. The brisket was not quite as good as Hutchins in McKinney only because hard eights had more fat.
Tam HuynhOctober 28, 2015The sausage is crazy good. The jalapeño sausage and the smoke pork ribs. Come late and they always out of ribs.
Tommy YangSeptember 4, 2018We enjoyed the rib eye steak (cooked to order) and sausage. Not impressed with the pork chop which is too dry without sauce.
stylishbootsApril 8, 2016Amazing value -- so much delicious food, so many options, and cost is very reasonable.- JJJanuary 2, 2016Favorite BBQ spot in Texas. Nothing better than being able to order what you want from the pit.
Russ UNTOctober 26, 2015Mmmmm still a great place to get some meat. The jalapeño chicken popper was outstanding- Rob ParkerFebruary 5, 2018Brisket was fantastic mouth watering and moist. Great family atmosphere. Staff great
Patrick McPhersonMarch 22, 2013Absolutely the best Texas BBQ - don't miss the opportunity to experience the best variety, taste and authenticity
