There are only a handful of Ethiopian restaurants in the metroplex, and I am so glad Arlington is one of those destinations. It's great to see more cultural cuisine represented on this side of the DFW! This plavlce is a must try! They have vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Both are delicious! Customer service is great! They just moved to a larger space as well.

The bbq is fantastic! You don't need sauce on this meat. I finally found a bbq restaurant where the meat has been smoked throughout. Mac n Cheese and potato salad was delicious. Staff members very pleasant and helpful. There's a wait but it's worth it.

So this restaurant has moved from Matlock to Cooper in Arlington and my friend and I came to have dinner at 745pm early enough since they close at 10pm. We didn't know it was a soft opening and we never made past the register. The lady at the register advised us that they DIDNT HAVE ANY FOOD!!! What?? NO FOOD???????? Yup we left hungry. Please review hours of operation noted.

This was my first time eating any African Food and definitely will be back. Shared multiple items with friends and enjoyed all of it but the Injera Nachos was the highlight for me. Cannot wait to get back here.

It was a catering Realtors event at a new home builder, the bbq especially the brisket was super tender with just the right amount of fat, sausage and ribs also very good, creamy sauce over green beans a bit too rich for me, and condiments also hit the marks! All around a great purveyor of catered food!!

Food was good but not stellar. Probably marred by a young man working behind the bar who was upset with the world. Was obviously upset to be there and just had a generally terrible attitude. I would have fired him on the spot. Hopefully they move on from the bar, and this kid, and improve.

Y'all. The BBQ here is amazing! It's located in an unassuming sports bar and they specialize in BBQ with a Mexican twist. Yummm! Our brother from CA was visiting and wanted to try TX BBQ - this place did not disappoint! They made us a sample BBQ platter with brisket, ribs, tacos, sides and all the fixins. So good! My favorite was definitely the brisket - it was so flavorful and fell apart as you pick it up. My brothers loved the local beer on tap (from a brewery right down the road!). A must check out place if you're in the Arlington area!

225 is the best!!! Food, service, and ambiance are as good as it gets!! They're located in a bar & grill setting now so it's the best of both worlds. They can have all my money.

I tried the brisket and Meat Candy is an understatement. The brisket was so tender and melted in your mouth even when reheated. Your mouth deserves to be happy and the brisket will bring a smile to your face. Highly recommended!!!
I tried the brisket and loved it , will come back again !

Worst BBQ ever.i got nothing but fat. No meat at all. Everything way over salted. Worst ever. I think they did it on purpose

I had their bbq once it was good. It was served from their food truck. I can't never tell if this place is open or not. Sometimes the website says it's open sometimes not.

You gotta try the meat, this guy is doing it right. The smoke flavor is the best i have every had in my life . I can not describe it except to say out of this world . The flavor will burst in your mouth and you say oh my God. Can't get enough. 3 times and 3 home runs . Brisket, turkey pork all better then anything I have ever had in my life and I am 68 year old meat lover. Don't know how they do it.
Not sure still in business
