If you like cold bbq and hard bread, this is definitely your place to go. I don't live far at all and I was home 10 mins after pick up, everything was cold, not even like warm, it was all cold.The brisket tasted amazing even thought it was so cold. I would have loved to try it fresh and hot, I could only imagine how great it would have been.Too many bbq place to try around here to return.I recommend the potato salad cause it was the only thing cold that was supposed to be cold.

Stopped here for some Texas barbecue as we were passing through. My go-to-mail is the barbecue brisket. Brisket had decent flavor but was a bit dry. Not sure what was happening, but our waitress seemed overwhelmed even though there were not very many people in the restaurant. Took a long time to place our order in a long time to get our food. Kind of soured the experience of it after a long day of travel. Worth checking out for yourself and making your own decision. Maybe they were just having an off night?

I'm visiting from Ohio and loved this place. Quality and quantity for the price are excellent. The outside venue was enjoyable with music. Inside had great seating also.

We love Shady Oak Barbeque & Grill. We frequently eat there when we visit Fort Work.The food is always very good. We particularly love chopped beef sandwiches or the potato and sandwich special.The atmosphere is conducive to families and the service has always been very good.

Their brisket was flavorless and fatty. I was very disappointed. The bread was great, I loved their ribs, and their sausage. The brisket was hella disappointing though. I'd suggest going elsewhere if you want good smoked brisket. Three meat platter was 27 bucks and not worth the price, imo

Most of the food was good but we were surprised to find their mac and cheese is cold? One person sent it back and asked for it warm. When it came back the second time it was again cold. We can only surmise that it's intentionally cold. Our waitress was fine but apparently was put into a tough position because it appeared the kitchen was overwhelmed. We may continue to go there on Thursdays instead of Saturdays.

Theres a Trash Can option, middle of the menu, 105$ for a bunch of meat, sides, and corncobs. Easily feed all 5 of the adults we had. Highly suggest swapping out of of the coleslaw with thier mash potatoes because they are very well seasoned.Oh also the bread they give you is really soft and tasty!

Traveling thru Fort Worth and decided to have some bbq, we are so glad we stopped here! Service was excellent and food was delicious! Fresh hot bread was a treat while we waited for our food. Our grub consisted of Baby back ribs with brisket and sausage, beverages served in an ice cold mug did not disappoint we will definitely come back!

The booth wasn't near the table and I had to push it back into place, the seat was wet and the table was sticky. I asked for hot water and lemon to drink and the waitress told me they didn't have hot water. ??♀️ She was definitely tired.We didn't stick around after that and went down the road to a different restaurant. Maybe they were just having an off night. ??♀️

Yummy food, but not worth the price without more CRAFT beer selections. With more craft beer selections it would feel just like being in Austin, TX and I would go again.
