“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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. .“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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 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!! ❤️ “
