“The BEST bbq in North Texas!“

“Best brisket in DFW. They don’t always serve it, but their Habanero Mac is 🔥 and honestly there isn’t a single thing on their menu I’ve been disappointed by. If you’re in bishop arts, the smell alone will lure you in.“

“This is my second time here. Both times have been great; the barbecue here is the best food.😋“

“great Barbecue and even greater ppl“

“Great food and location !!“

“Had always been a little bit suspicious about this place thinking it was just trying to capture travelers coming into Dallas. Boy was I wrong! This place is legit. It rivals all the best places in DFW. Heck, may even be the best! The pork belly burnt ends are unique and amazing! Best beans I’ve ever had as well. Will definitely be back!“

“great service and great food!“

“We have been loyal customers for around 3 years. Ever since we moved into the neighborhood. Good reliable BBQ with friendly staff.“

“For me to be a judge in hundreds of bbq competitions around the country since 2015, I was incredibly shocked that I hadn’t heard of this place until I saw it on an episode of Diners, Drive In’s and Dives! Had to try it out when I came back to Dallas….and boy let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint!! The sausage was superior to any sausage I’ve tried, full of flavor with an excellent texture. Although my brisket was a *little* dry (most likely because I got there later in the day…) I would be willing to bet money it would be 100% the first couple of hours of opening. That OG sauce is pretty good but the Sweet Jake was top tier!! I DONT HAVE ROOM TO TALK ABOUT THE AMAZING AND DELICIOUS SELECTION OF SIDES BUT HOLYYYYY HECKKKK! I had to get a small little cup of each and not a single one disappointed me 🤣🤣🤣 Most bbq places will either have boring bland “meh” sides and fantastic meats OR good sides but mediocre meats….let’s just say you get the best of both worlds here. The best part about this place was the owner being SO full of life greeting everyone, checking on all his guests, picking up plates, manning the bar, opening doors, saying bye and thank you as we left…and that is what makes this place special. The customer service makes the incredible food 10x better.“

“Went to pickup two dinner plates for tomorrow for our Easter Dinner and some of that good koolaid I wished I would’ve gotten two koolaids they are so good and Shun thank you for your excellent customer service as always .I will continue to support you all.“

“This is a old-school BBQ joint on Leonard Street in downtown. They have a fair sized indoor seating and some outside tables as well. You can do take-away as well. Opening hours are 11am to 3pm (lunch only), closed on Sundays. Had a very good lunch here recently. The chopped beef sandwich was delicious, sides of okra, potato casserole and beans were great. Ended up taking home a large order of brisket, sausage and more sides for a larger group of friends for the evening. Everyone loved the meal. Two Sammy's meals in one day and was left wanting more. Would gladly return based on this experience.“

“Best ribs and brisket in town! ❤️“

“I think this is the Best BBQ in Dallas. I found this place by accident years ago. The meats and beans are the best around.“

“Can we say a well kept secret.This is a awesome restaurant that is very inexpensive but the taste is awesome.The customer service is great and so is the food“

“Had their sandwiches 3 days in a row at our conference! Awesome food and awesome service! Definitely recommend!“

“Just passing through and stopped here. Outstanding bbq sand which and I LOVED the beans with cabbage… and some other things. I need the recipe“

“Their turkey legs are awesome. Good BBQ and catfish.“

“Great hole in the wall Mexican bbq place. I had some Al pastor tacos and brisket sandwich. The tacos had onions and cilantro and I got the green medium hot salsa (which was a good medium spice level). The brisket sandwich was good sized and came with pickles and onions and warmed bbq sauce.“

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“Very good! Great people! Excellent food! Affordable! Try it out!“

“Blu’s provided two briskets for a family memorial event. The brisket was excellent. They were competitive in price and very easy to coordinate pick up with. I can’t wait to try their ribs next time!!“

“This is your classic greasy spoon but hey the burger was bomb. The people were super nice. I live in Oklahoma and asked my nephew to take me to an old fashion burger spot and this is one. The burger was nice and juicy prepared to order. The fries were good could have been hotter. Unfortunately the staff said they had been out bid for the lease which is a shame. Go quick their not sure if they'll find a new spot.“

“I recently visited dickeys on irving Blvd and had a great experience! Everything was hot and the taste was just right!! Not only that the service was great also. This is the same kind of great service and food at the downtown location also! All around great place! I would like to send a special thanks out to Mrs Rosa from the irving location and Sabrina and Madeline from the downtown location for being so nice!“

“Exceptional, authentic Texas BBQ — the real deal! The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with that perfect smoky bark, and the ribs slid right off the bone. Every bite was loaded with that slow-smoked flavor only true pitmasters can achieve. The sides were just as good — creamy mac and cheese, tangy slaw, and classic baked beans. Great folks, great service, and true Texas flavor. Highly recommended!“

“Went to Bakers for lunch and I got a sliced brisket sandwich with two sides abd a drink. The food hit the spot and the employees that were there were friendly and professional. The restaurant was clean and in order. I will definitely be returning. Shout out to the Manager/ Owner for having a great staff and location.“

“People are very friendly and the service was fast. I had the lemon pepper wings and they were delicious. .“

“Sorry. I didn't take enough pictures. We had the pork totadas, Thai chilli ribs for starters, smoked butchers cut & something else. It was all good.

Update: Excellent service. Food was great. I got the Brisket 😋 Crispy potatoes 😋 Some sweet fried Chicken 😋 We also tried the regular burger it was good, I feel like bun needs be a little bigger but a perfectly cooked juicy med burger.“

“Haven’t been to this location in a while , was skeptical because of comments but honestly 10/10 the staff was patience and knowledgeable food was hot and tasty and don’t forget kids eat free Sunday , look at them green beans in my picture sooo good“

“A well established business where the food is excellent! John, May, and the crew will take care of all their customers! Too bad it is 4 to 4 1/2 drive BUT so worth the effort!!“

“The one waitress working this morning was absolutely hustling. She kept her calm and was very apologetic but she shouldn't have to be. This hotel should be ashamed of itself for leaving it's employees to fend for themselves during the busiest times of day. Where's the manager or other staff to help.“

“Str8 Pressure no Cap!!! #🎯🎯“

“Best Brisket, love the people very nice and professional. love the loaded Potato.....and they stuff so much food on your plate.....love it.“

“All their meat was tender and smoked just right, the sauce is perfect and the mac n cheese is killer! The owners are the best, we were lucky to meet them! 10/10 will do again!“

“Perfect B B Q TIME everything well done and the service was good too,I did really enjoyed“

“I work here so I am a little biased. I am the Operations Manager at the catering office. We handle orders over 50 people or smaller orders where full service, or a non-bbq menu is ordered. Our location is catering only- if you are looking for dining in or getting something to go, please contact or visit our original restaurant on Inwood Rd just east of Harry Hines; or our Lovers Lane, West End, or Richardson locations.“

“The smell of this place was so incredibly divine, the vibes here were so chill, the food so incredibly good and the options amazing. Friendly, competent, hard working staff contributed to an all around phenomenal experience. Love this place, 6/5 stars.“

“The best smoked meat in DFW! Hands down! Great service!“

“Tried this place for the first time today!!! First i would like to mention Ced i believe was his name! That man has impeccable customer service, the food was good but his customer service was top tier! Greeted me, i let him know it was my first time and he walked me through it all, i ordered and he assured me i would be returning! Food was amazing and i was able to watch the game while i ate! Was checked on to make sure everything was great! My experience was rare these days! You don’t find restaurants that have good food and great customer service! I’ll for sure be returning with my friends and family! Hats off the to staff and around of applause to Ced! Job well done sir!“

“Love this place. They serve their meat very generously. Eat all you can and it is. We come here birthdays, or when we are hungry hungry and we can afford to pay plus tips. It hard not to tip because everyone works hard and they deserve any tips you can afford to give. Highly recommended. We are low carb diet house and this is perfect place to go.“
