“My boyfriend and I had an awesome experience at Hurtado BBQ in Dallas! The staff’s energy and hospitality were incredible, and Sarah, one of the team members, went above and beyond—after I mentioned my lean brisket was a bit tough, she surprised us with two extra slices of moist brisket on the house, and it was amazing. The food, the service, and the whole vibe were top-notch. Huge thanks to Sarah and the whole team for making our visit so memorable!“

“great Barbecue and even greater ppl“

“great service and great food!“

“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!“

“Such amazing food and the service is the same!!“

“The atmosphere and staff were great and the food was amazing! Hands down, the best BBQ I’ve had in Texas! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back!!!“

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

“Slow Bone is one of the premier BBQ Joints in all of DFW. The Ribs and Smoked Chicken are easily the best in town, the Brisket is incredible and they were even voted best Fried Chicken in DFW a time or two. The sides are all excellent, but the brisket beans and sweet potato praline stand above the rest. You won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu. Come early. Come often. Thank me later.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I thought I had left a review before, but I guess I have not. My last visit was a few months ago. But this place is one of those hole-in-the-wall places you should not pass an opportunity to try. The meat is extremely tender and juicy. The sauces are not your typical flavors, but don't count them out, they perfectly complement the flavor profiles of the entrees. The portions are generous, and the sides taste homemade, really fresh and good. You're not going to beat the prices, especially for the BBQ meats. Try it all, you're not going to find a bad menu choice. Service was great and the atmosphere is pretty chill and down to earth. 10/10.“

“I absolutely love Hump’s BBQ! The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the customer service is top-notch. Every time I visit, I feel welcomed and well taken care of. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great BBQ and friendly service!“

“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“

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“Best ribs and brisket in town! ❤️“

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

“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!“

“The best home cooking you'll find anywhere near downtown dallas. Great BBQ but my favorite is the breakfast, served any time of day! Authentic vintage vibes (established in 1952) and great service every time really make this one of the best places to eat near downtown especially considering the open parking. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

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

“Southern service was great, we went to celebrate and the atmosphere truly set the tone. My partner was very critical of the food, but particularly enjoyed the sides/fixins the most(on top of desserts **chef’s kiss for dimple done right). Came in right towards the end of happy hour, a time was had thanks to our great server, thanks guys!“

“Turkey was juicy, sides were good, and service was fast.“

“Whole Hog Cooking #1. This is old fashion in the back yard southern style cooking. The skin is the best or shall we say real Pork Rinds. I can’t wait to put in my order for this Thanksgiving Day Celebration“

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

“Str8 Pressure no Cap!!! #🎯🎯“

“Holy crap this place is outstanding! I love me some good BBQ and rarely do you find it in an airport.“

“Lauren (cashier) and Junior (Pitmaster) were awesome and friendly to me as the lunch I had today (24 JUL 25) was definitely made with love.

I had a two meat plate because I missed breakfast and was starving. I also had fried okra and loaded mashed potatoes as my sides & their $2 canned beer special.

This Dickeys is located on the corner of Central (75) and Henderson/Knox.

So the next time any of y'all are stuck in traffic I'd highly recommend eating here until traffic clears.

The brisket was tender and juicy as well as their chicken. It certainly was a welcomed change from fast food places in our Republic of Texas 🤙🏽“

“The food was great, and my peach cobbler was off the chain. I'm going back soon to support this local business.“

“Savannah, our server, served us well. She is amazing. My street tacos were good, I got one of each. I liked the catfish taco the best. The salmon was cooked just right, over a bed of spinach. The side of fries were delectable. We will be back ?“

“I live nearby and order from this Dickey’s all the time. The food is always consistent brisket is tender, pulled pork is flavorful, and the sides too. The staff knows how to take care of their customers and they’re always friendly, whether I’m picking up or dining in. It’s nice having a spot close by where I can count on good BBQ without having to drive far. Definitely one of my go-to places.“

“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.“

“Great location for some Texas BBQ! Tasty menu options and friendly new owners. Check them out for lunch, dinner, or any catering events.“

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

“Love coming here because of the atmosphere, but especially because of the food!! Great home cooked food and great bbq!! Love the ower and everyone that works there, very friendly and carry a great spirit you feel at home with. Always love going there!! ❤️ “

“Thank you guys so much for helping us out with our many orders this morning! You guys saved our staff lunch! Definitely recommend, y’all were so great to work with!!“

“I stopped in with my coworkers as we were looking for “Good BBQ” I didn’t want a “Chain” place and this one popped up close by our work site Man. I am glad I stopped here. The BBQ has to be some of the best I have had in a very long time I got the 3 meat plate and it was Ham, Turkey and Brisket. Spot on delicious. Their sauce is great. The sides are off the chain amazing. I have to say I have NEVER seen my favorite way to have mashed potatoes before offered as a side. UNTIL TODAY. Mashed potatoes with corn. Hands down the way mashed potatoes are supposed to be done. Thank you for this amazing meal and it was not crazy expensive. Thank you and I will be back.“

“Good place, lacks options like hotpot and self serve counter( which includes dumplings , veggies and so on) that the plano location has for AYCE menu. This is not a jab at the place, and is only mentioned to emphasize the difference between the two locations. The staff was great, very attentive and made up for anything that was lacking by creating a great atmosphere.“
