We hosted a special event dinner at the location in the private room and I have no complaints. It was my first time at the location and the food was amazing. The brisket was fall apart tender and the Mac n cheese was ???. The lil bread n butter pickles had a lil bite to them and were super tasty as well. Look forward to returning.

Went there for brunch. My wife got the regular BBQ items and I got more of the breakfasty type food. The BBQ items especially both of the burnt ends dishes were really good. The breakfast stuff was just ok. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have coffee available. They're is a coffee house near though. I would go there first if your want coffee with your brunch.

This is a great place. The bbq, the drinks, the staff and the location are all top notch. I’ll be dreaming about that brisket and corn fritters for a while.
Food was tasty, beer was good, but 2 of 4 people in our party got sick and vomited within 12 hours of eating here. We got the platter so we all tried a little bit of everything.

Solid BBQ for much more reasonable prices than the big name joints in Dallas.Food: we got the pitmaster's platter (5 meats over a pound in total and 3 good sized sides) for $40, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The ribs were excellent, with very good brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and turkey. Our sides were generous and tasty too, and we enjoyed our corn, beans, and fried okra.Beer: decent house made beer for Dallas prices in the $6-8 range, with stronger beers served in little tulip cups.Service: do not come here to eat if you are in a hurry, as a long line forms for counter order food, with only one guy putting together and plating each order, and one guy floating around the counter and kitchen working the register. A slow and inefficient process that involves a lot of standing around and waiting, especially during busier times.Vibe: old Texas saloon style, with a lot of bricks and wood. Cement floors throughout, and clean enough industrial restrooms with handmade steel counters and a sawed off keg sink. Two unisex bathrooms that back up (wait time) at busy times.'Hood: the downtown Garland square is making a comeback, and feels like the right place for this establishment.All in all, a good affordable BBQ experience, well worth the drive.

I came to Intrinsic on a work lunch today and was blown away. Brisket was amazing. The bark and smoke ring were incredible. The coleslaw and jalapeño corn was out of this world! I would come back just for the sides alone!The interior of the restaurant is really cute as well.
Great beer selection and BBQ plates. There is plenty of seating space and a patio/ terrace. It was a little crowded when I went with a long waiting line to order.

The brisket tacos were the best I have ever had.Vegetarian options: I get the irony but since my wife is vegetarian, there aren’t many options for her.

I had the brisket sandwich and bacon pinto beans. Both were very tasty. $12.50 w/o drink. Place also is a brewery. They have an excellent stout.
