“Absolutely had the best meal with my family here the owners are top notch amazing folks and the service and food was the best we’ve had in a long time!!! Do yourself a favor and try these guys out!!“

“I eat at pecan lodge about once a month. The collard greens are exceptional , we always get extra to eat at home. I get the brisket and my wife gets pork ribs. I haven’t had one bad dish from this place. Whenever family visit we come here. Ricky always put out great food“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great BBQ!! Everyone’s friendly food is amazing!!“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Before this visit, I had not been to Baker's Ribs since 1998 when I moved out of state. Back for a visit, I was craving their brisket and potato salad. They did not disappoint! It tasted just as delicious as I remembered. Best brisket ever and that potato salad with dill can't be beat! I was shocked to see that they still provide the free soft serve. Can you open a Tennessee location?

Update: We had to eat here a second time before leaving town, and got the ribs (and more potato salad). There's no need for sauce, as the ribs had wonderful flavor and were super tender!“

“You know, sometimes we overlook the basics and get so oriented toward what’s great in Bishop Arts and forget about the places outside downtown that keep this city rolling. My riding partner and I stopped in for breakfast here because we forgot cash for Fuel City. I asked if they take Apple Pay and if we can bring our bikes in. Affirmative on both, sweet. They love football and the cowboys here. It shows. The spot has nothing but stories to tell. It’s welcoming and the breakfast tacos, omelette and biscuits and gravy were fantastic. The grill spits fire. This place is worth a stop and it’s definitely a place to get your food fix. Happy to add to my breakfast rotation“

“Thank you to all the staff and "ERIC"I have know him since he worked in Crowley Cousins. I was a butcher in the Kroger store in Crowley for 32 years. Being a guy who knows his meat cuts, this establishment serves the best meats in Funky Town Fort Worth and Crowley. Give them some love this coming 2026 year. Let's make them the BBQ destination of Texas.“

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

“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!“

“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 🤙🏽“

“Str8 Pressure no Cap!!! #🎯🎯“

“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.“

“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’m so mad!!! Mad that I haven’t BEEN ordered from this place. This my last night in this house and I’m moving 65 miles away. I’ll be dreaming about these ribs and this huge delicious loaded potato. The potato alone can feed 4 grown people. They don’t skimp on the meat or anything. Yawl pray for me!

UPDATE: I forgot to mention, I don’t know his they got my grandma’s peach cobbler recipe from Mississippi, but they got the recipe!!!!!“

“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!“

“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!! ❤️ “

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“All I can say is that I had an amazing experience, especially for my first time With my wife eating at a Korean barbecue and this was by far the best customer service I’ve been at and definitely one of the best food I’ve had!
Joey is wonderful and he deserves a raise for just being AMAZING!
Thank you so much Joey for making this first time experience amazing.
Happy New Years“

“FOOD FIRE WE CAME FROM HOT SPRINGS, AR TODAY“

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