Just eat here...love the sausage , good brisket , good pulled pork .. Get your onion ring on, just do it ... Get the big beer ... BBQ Sauce is SUPER, and we all know, BBQ joint must have special sauce

Tere Ledesma

The pulled pork and pulled chicken were amazing.We both loved the beans, and his ribs were extra tender. Don't forget to take your bathroom code that is in your ticket if you need to use the restroom !

Andre Berzins

Chopped brisket is minced as baby food . Turkey is very soft, but no taste. Ribs are good!!!! The BBQ sauce is awesome, and service is polite and fast. This place is nothing as good as Lockhart's...

Nolan Hollahan

Great food great service, fries and pulled pork were delicious, I would recommend it if you are in the area.

Craig B.

just go-FANTASTIC bbq , go twice if possible, the brisket was XLNT, the sausage too and the service was XLNT, order a side of pickles as well & warm buns to sop up their tasty sauce

Roberto Bruder Aguiar

Very authentic BBQ joint . Their sausages and brisket are great!

Emily Baer

Honestly some what disappointing, the onion rings , beans and the jalapeño sausage were all great, the brisket and the ribs were subpar.

Liz Moore

I liked the chicken on the bone and the brisket . As far as BBQ it was alright...... Make sure to bring someone to the bathroom with you..it's down an elevator and in the basement . Kind of creepy.

Juan Charrasqueado

The 3/4 combo plate, the smashed potatoes , and the service (ask Mary to be your waitress ) are extremely good.

Ricky Potts

They have a wide range of side items including slaw and onion rings . Everything is ordered al la carte.

Got 1/2 order of pork ribs with 2 vegs which leaves enough room for dessert . Chopped brisket very good as well . Special offer register email address get free dessert .

Joel Wasinger

One line to order. When you're next in line , be ready to step up to the next available register. Don't make everyone behind you wait!

Belem De La Fuente

Their brisket sandwiches and their bbq sauce is really good.

Michael Meyer

Lemon pepper wings are the best I have had yet !

Joel Wasinger

Friday "Pork Out" special--pulled pork , ribs , sausage , 2 sides and a drink--is good food and a great deal.

David Washington

Both the ribs and mac & cheese not good on the day we were there. You can find much better in the DFW area.

Jean-Louis Ntang

3/4 combo plate is the way to go.

The rolls were probably the best thing here. All the sides tasted like they're from frozen foods you can buy at the grocery store . Meat was ok. Disappointing and quite expensive for what you get.

Joel Wasinger

The ladies at the cash registers are the best! Be nice to them.

Chris Nixon

Great ribs !

Cheryl Murday

Jalapeño mash potatoes .. are the way to go!

Ken Camp

Loved the food. Order the onion rings .

Doug Caldwell

Wheelchair accessible (old building built before ADA law) so ask staff to open backdoor to get in with chair. Bathrooms in basement via elevator .

Connie E.

Agree with Laura H. The sliced brisket was lean yet tasty. And, you gotta love the Sonny's sauce. It was even good on the potato salad !

Joel Wasinger

Fancy new napkin dispensers. ;-)

Shawn Kirsch

Relative to cost it's merely ok. If you've been to Jacks in Nashville, this is nowhere in the same league. But service is excellent.

Joel Wasinger

Great, gluten-free barbecue . "Lose the wheat, not the meat." :-)

Ted Skinner

Not on the menu , but the Frito Pie is pretty great.

Bob Gugino

Great place for lunch the ribs are the bomb

Dion Walker

Our first time here … not bad. Baked potato with brisket was actually taste:-)

John Richards

Get a platter for lunch !

peg clydesdale

Ribs were exceptionally tough, but the dinner rolls were really good. Does seem like a tourist trap BBQ place . If you are a BBQ fanatic, it's about a c minus

Don Diamant

Its good but there's far better BBQ in Texas.

Tami Brock

Pulled chicken was super good.

Gail Gallegos Rodriguez

Order the Pulled chicken salad

Don Steiger

I am not impressed with this place at all. Mediocre food at best and I can get better sauce from the supermarket ! There is much better BBQ back home in St. Louis.

Laura Howe

I know there is a lot of good Q in Dallas, but this was really outstanding. Try the brisket sandwich .

Mandy

I'm just glad we got the onion rings for free. No bueno.

Christy Msal

Pulled pork was good.....onion rings not so good.

Brian Harrell

I could cut my brisket with the side of my fork. Well done Dallas.

Brian Stollfus

Try the Drop Top amber pale... goes great with their BBQ

Doug Caldwell

One block from DART West End light rail station in Dallas.

Ali Ashfaque

Try the Beef Brisket -

Keven Lee

Really. World famous onion rings don't start off with flour deep-fried no seasoning serve on a plate. Maybe world-famous for not being good at all.

Aimee A

Avoid the Rogge Dunn "Deal". $14 for two ribs , a sandwich and a side. The brisket and ribs were good, but not worth $14. There are better choices on the menu for the money.

Alex Gagne

Chopped brisket and pulled pork . Enough said. Read more

John Segota

Try the Peach Co

Adam Garrett

Service is terrible. Hostess ignored me and once self seated at bar , took them 10 minutes to get me a menu and water. Food seems over priced as well .
