“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.“

“The BEST bbq in North Texas!“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“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.“

“First time here and it was good! We had family visit from out of state and tried this on a whim. We tried a little bit of everything. Their food is served as ready which was nice. We could eat a little bit of everything without getting stuffed. We definitely took advantage of that. We loved the tostados and corn fritters. The butchers cut was my favorite while the others were torn between the ribs and pork belly. Our waitress was so nice and helpful. They were happy to turn on the FIFA game for us. It was casual and had a nice outdoor sitting area as well.“

“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! ❤️“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I don’t usually go out and eat alone, but I was having a terrible day and needed to get out of the rain for a bit. Hadn’t come to this place in years but decided to go in. I asked for a table for one, and there was a few minute wait which I didn’t mind since they probably had to set the table up first. They sat me at a one person table I didn’t know existed but greatly appreciated. The server (I didn’t get their name) was great, really kind and attentive, changed my grill before it was even that bad, and just a really nice person. The meats were amazing, they had a good variety of banchan, and I don’t know if the dressing in the salad is something a lot of other places also use, but it was extra good here. It wasn’t too dark inside like how some places are for “mood lighting”, but it wasn’t too bright either where it’s like you’re in an interrogation room, it was just right really. And whoever was on aux today deserves a raise cause they had bangers from American pop to k-pop and even j-pop. 10/10 would recommend and probably come back again after a long shift :)“

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

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“With friends and we all thought 👍 here. My salad was excellent! We ate outside too. 👏👍“

“Their food is amazing!!! I love the owner. He has great customer service and the staff is friendly. I ordered the brisket BBQ loaded potato, and my son had the chopped brisket sandwiches with fried. Ive also had their fish, and ribs, as well as their sides. There is Nothing that I would pass over. My favorites are the chicken tortillas soup and the cabbage!!!! If you are in Grand Prairie, give them a try!!!!! You will love it!!! Don’t forget your sweet tea!“

“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. .“

“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.“

“It’s sooo good and the servings are huge“

“Thé attentiveness of the staff and quality of the food are the best things about the restaurant. The cold hors d’œuvres were delicious.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I ordered on the kiosk and had the food 15 minutes later. Hot and fresh and lots of flavor. I got the 3 combo plate and banana lumpia. I recommend the chargrilled chicken. Definitely try the aloha sauce and the katsu sauce are both great. Definitely will be back to try other things since their menu is a good size“

“Lure Ball Bites

Barrel & Bones felt like entering a Fire-type Gym where the pitmaster had clearly invested heavily into BBQ Attack stats. The staff brought strong Support Trainer energy throughout the battle, staying attentive and making sure the experience never felt neglected.

The Smoked Prime Brisket Burger came out looking like it knew Body Slam and immediately proved it. Between the soft brisket, melted American cheese, fresh toppings, and perfectly toasted brioche bun, every bite landed super-effective damage. The sandwich barely held together, but honestly, if your BBQ burger isn’t threatening your shirt with a cleanup, are you even fighting the right Gym Leader?

The baked beans delivered powerful smoky flavor, the queso was loaded with cheesy Special Attack, and the Sweet & Spicy sauce added a respectable Fire-type kick for Trainers wanting extra damage output. The only move that missed its target was the Dr Pepper, which felt a little too watered down. Even so, Barrel & Bones is the kind of place that leaves you planning your rematch before you’ve fully left the battlefield. I easily earned its badge!“

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