About Ferris Wheelers Backyard and BBQ

Ferris Wheelers Backyard and BBQ is a restaurant known for its excellent food and service. The menu offers a variety of options, such as fried pickles, pulled pork, salad, waffle fry nachos, and The Day Off. The BBQ, including the brisket sandwich, has received high praise, with the brisket being moist and melting in your mouth, featuring both fatty and lean cuts with a simple salt and pepper rub. The jalapeno cheddar sausage and ribs with a great dry rub are also wonderful. The sides, including potato salad, mac n cheese, and fried okra with flavorful batter, are popular, though some note the beans can be watery. The Texas Gold BBQ sauce adds a unique corned beef taste.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with generous portions served at reasonable prices, though some find it pricey for the quantity. The staff is friendly and easy to talk to, treating customers like long-lost friends with exceptional hospitality. The music venue in the back offers great views and sound, and the bar features talented bartenders. However, the venue lacks air conditioning, which can make for a hot environment. Overall, Ferris Wheelers Backyard and BBQ is a recommended spot for BBQ lovers.

I attended their margaritas and taco festival. the advertisement said the shot tickets would get you 3.5 oz Margarita samples. They were in shot glass size plastic cups 1.5 oz. The food ticket didn't apply to all foods. There was no indication of which vendors accepted the tickets that come w admittance so after 20 min in line you'd find out....they don't accept the food ticket...as far as I know, a trip was not given away. Before leaving, another patron and I were advised it...read full review

Been there before and it was great. Stopped by today and ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the brisket nachos. The sandwich was ice cold and the brisket on the nachos was uneatable. Tasted like last week's leftovers - was like jerky. But they made up for it by barely acting like we were there. Hope they get their act together.
