“A Smokin’ Good Time at Crosscut BBQ! From the moment I walked into Crosscut BBQ, the aroma of smoked meats and spices set the stage for what was to be an unforgettable lunch experience. The star of the show was undoubtedly Chef Avila, whose culinary expertise shone through with every dish recommended. The mac and cheese was a revelation – a creamy, cheesy delight with a perfectly crispy smoked toppings that provided just the right amount of textural contrast. It’s not just a side dish at Crosscut BBQ; it’s a main event in its own right. But let’s not forget the barbecue – the gently smoked turkey and pulled pork was flavorful and moist. Each bite was a testament to the skill and passion that goes into the cooking here. The veggie side dish lightly seasoned and very fresh. They have homemade pickles too! The service was top-notch, with Chef Avila personally ensuring that my meal was nothing short of perfect. I was speechless…. The food is so good. It’s clear that Crosscut BBQ isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a place where the love for good food and great company comes together in harmony. If you’re looking for a place that serves up soul-satisfying barbecue with a side of genuine hospitality, look no further than Crosscut BBQ. I’m already planning my next visit! Rating: 10/10 stars – Highly recommend“

“It was an awesome day Mine and my friends first time. Wish it had been cooler.We enjoyed the great music, food and the friendliness of all the volunteers.I ended up getting too hot to the point of passing out. Couldn’t make it to the car due to feeling faint. My friend ask a volunteer in a golf cart if there was a way to get me to the front entrance. With no hesitation she said for us to get in. Stopped at the first aid got me ice pack and the front gate for a cold water then took us to the car. It was not truly her job but when she heard I felt faint she was on it. She was an ANGLE Thank you to Sandy in the golf cart.You went above and beyond. Thank you to the Festival“

“I’d give this place a 10/10. Food is always super fresh and crazy flavorful. I was in town for 2 weeks on a work trip and basically ate here every day! I wish I could take it back home with me. Be careful because you’ll end up eating here every day. The beef is super good but I recommend the spicy chicken, or even better yet get it half and half. Enjoy!“

“Great experience, Excellent Barbecue. Super friendly people.“

“Excelente lugar y la comida de primero“

“Oak'D BBQ delivered food to my work place to celebrate Fathers Day and I must say the food was delicious, tender brisket with all the trimmings, brussle sprouts dish, cole slaw dish is what I selected from the catering. I have never ever liked a potato salad to the point to where eat I it by itself and go back for second and thirds but I did this time. It's made differently and I need the recipe. 🌽 The Brussel sprout dish was delicious, also. No doubt a chef had to make these food dishes, different than the norm is what I like. My name is Deloris and I approve this message!!!😉👍👊“

“GO TO HUTCHINS INSTEAD!!! (UNLIMTED DESSERT THAT TASTE BETTER THAN HERE) Me and my boyfriend ordered from here and it was NOT worth it. We ordered two buns and they literally squished them into one container. We also ordered two slabs of brisket and they didn't even bother to cut that in half. They also forgot HALF of our order which was the sausages. Mac and cheese tastes really weird because of the cheese they use (not good AT all in my opinion). I also posted a comment under one of their posts on instagram and they of course deleted it. Horrible customer service.“

“This was an awesome restaurant Sorry that you are closed out of business“

“I took my ladies group The Divas there for lunch!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group loved their food. We have a variety with NO complaints. We are going back in April or May!! We are a large group get ready for us!! See you soon!!“

“Some of the best BBQ in Texas“

“The sliced beef sandwich was wonderful The fried okra was hard as a rock.“

“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.“

“The owner is friendly and accommodating. Always greets me with a smile. Remembers me. Fast service. Very generous with the sliced beef.“

“The best bbq ever once I tried it I can’t get out of this place also great people and amazing service love this place 😋🫶🏻“

“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!“

“Caterings Caterings Caterings - small events to large parties are covered and food never disappoints!! Delivered on time.

Byob with smoked meat and clean place.

One of the few places that host birthdays or any events.

Reach out for more info….“

“Five Star“

“Great variety and excellent service“

“I am a regular there, I absolutely love their food and service. It is always fresh And i'm never disappointed! I highly recommend.“

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“Best BBQ and incredible sides.“

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

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

“They have a few tables in the back with back-support bench chairs. Otherwise, you have to sit on stools with no back support. When we asked for the back table, they told us that it was reserved. I'm not convinced if all the tables were reserved. For that, I don't know if I would return.“

“This place has some of the best smoked BBQ in the whole area. Best collection of Bourbon, whiskey and Rye of any bar I've ever been too. all the staff I've every met there is always, friendly, respectful, efficient, professional. This is hands down our favorite hangout in the whole area.“

“Great food One of the best I’ve had and great service“

“Such a great experience!! My boyfriend and I went for all you can eat and the meat quality was fantastic. We didn’t get the chance to try a lot of the soup/rice dishes included (so much variety) but what we did try was delicious! The staff was also so friendly, they kept our side dishes filled and made sure we had plenty of meat/skewers. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their options!!“

“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.“

“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 🤙🏽“

“food was great and our waitress was very polite and helpful Brenda was helpful“

“What a place! It totally blew me away—absolutely beautiful with spot-on vibes. My beer came in this oversized chalice that was just too cute! Perfect Saturday energy all around. The food was great too. This is definitely going to be our go-to spot!“

“The Thing I Like the most is ...The Hot Rolls -
& as many as you want, which is something you can't find at other Bar B Que places. the one I am reviewing has been in business at that same spot for a Very Long Time. At least 15 or so years. So it's nice to see them still in business and going strong. I don't get to dine there very often, but when I do. I know I will have a good experience. The Food is freshly served and Always delicious. The staff there is always friendly and helpful. More than enough Parking spaces. Well lit and a warm atmosphere. Lots of families and some people that are dating tend to dine there. So it's a real pleasure to experience. OKAY so I'm going to add one last thought to this review. I Really miss the excitement and enthusiasm that the staff at Spring Creek used to exhibit. Now days it feels more like a lubys cafeteria or a funeral home. I'm not sure which one. Believe me. I've dined at Spring Creek off and on since at least 2000 and it's just not the same. Not to mention that I spent almost 70.00s for just myself and my girlfriend for two meals. I am seriously thinking about going back to and staying with Hard Eights BBQ, at least there they doesn't feel so.....Dead.“

“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 had seen this place, seemed oddly decorated....OMG, I have been missing out. The absolute BEST breakfast tacos of my life and I'm a breakfast taco expert. This is my new all time favorite spot. You will not be disappointed. Great hole-in-the-wall character.“

“The food is delicious and the owners are very attentive and friendly. Great experience, if you are looking for a good food, that’s the right place to be. Keep up with the great work guys, I will be back many times, that’s for sure.“

“Food was delicious! Portions were a good size!“

“I got the lunch special of 1 meat and 1 side as well as the lemon cake dessert. The brisket was very good in my opinion, perfect balance of fat and lean meat; loved the sauce that was on the side, it was very peppery but balanced with a slight sweetness. Comes with a side of toast and pickles and pickles onions that were also very delicious and good balance. The Mac and cheese was a semi disappointment due to it being spiral noodles but the cheese sauce and breadcrumbs really bring it back to being tasty. Lastly, the dessert, smoked lemon cake. It was hard to judge it, they forgot the berries so it was good but not quite up to par, the cake portion did not taste smoky, was very dense but still moist. Comes with this lemon drizzle/curd sauce that was very good. Worth a visit for the atmosphere and food, but if you're looking for solid BBQ I would give this place a pass and maybe go to hard 8, Hutchinsons or even maybe Loro if you're looking for something more modern.“

“OMG my first time having Dickey’s. IT WAS AMAZING. The slaw over the top. The pulled pork unbelievable. The brisket out of this world. Yummooo 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰“

“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 really enjoyed visiting here several times over my stay in Dallas. Twice for a meal and once for the bar out back. The BBQ was excellent. I had the brisket, both fatty and lean which was perfect with simple salt and pepper run. The jalapeno cheddar sausage was great and the ribs were wonderful with a great blend dry rub. I tried both sauces as well as the Mac and cheese and I have zero complaints!

The staff was always friendly and easy to talk to and the atmosphere was very chill with a vibe you'd expect from a good ol BBQ joint.

Highly recommend you stop in and try it out!“

“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 food was delicious, I ordered the chicken smoke sandwich and got a side of the potatoe crisps. There's really no service here. The atmosphere is kinda blah, reminded me of a Ramen restraunt from Fanuel Hall in Boston. Might be great at lunch, I went at 930pm for late dinner.“

“Hi. Please don't dismiss this. It should go to your COO and CFO. I drove brand marketing for Coca-Cola, SUBWAY, and COX. Your marketing team is not helping your restaurant network. In TX, Dickey's is well known, and that's the problem. When cups and bags leave the restaurant, they are advertisements. Dickey's is assuming they are known in other states just like TX. The Dickey's logo is so tiny. Your creative team created some cute graphics but unless you are 6" away you will never see the logo and never know where that person just had BBQ. Stores are closing, assuming lack of sales, because they don't get any name awareness and recognition. In Phoenix, I have eaten several times in two Dickey's. Traffic is EXTREMELY slow no matter what time of day. In PHX the road signage is not noticeable and if you did get a glimpse passing by you can't read it because it is in that Western font. If you expect increased sales corporate marketing needs to look at the needs of stores outside TX. Brand awareness and value are very different from TX. Thanks. Mark McCully“

“I had a good time to eat & it was my first time there & I went there for my birthday & i went there with my husband & my parents the food was really good & we like the waitresses because they were helping us cook they really nice to us the people that we’re working there one thing I don’t think will ever go back because we got sick the next day but we did have a lot of fun there!!! 😊🤮“

“I've left reviews on Google and Yelp. This is a good place to eat can be pricey if you're eating a big meal or ordering a lot of food. But to me it's worth it Others May disagree I like this place and give it a try I hope you will like it as well thank you“
