50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Irving

“Lauren was awesome, food was ok.
Lauren helped us build an order perfect for us, and was really friendly and helpful throughout the whole dining experience!
The meat we ordered came out cold, barely luke warm. Otherwise it tasted pretty good, but would have been much better hot. Lauren checked on us and even recommended a desert for my wife’s birthday!“

“Delicious food at great price. Definitely worth a stop!“

“muy rica comida y sobre todo a buen precio y las personas muy lindas y amables lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Absolutely outstanding BBQ from a very knowledgeable and amazing pitmaster!! I'm a huge fan of their brisket but don't forget to try out their dino beef ribs or incredible sides! Kafi BBQ is going to take over the Texas BBQ scene in a very big way!!!“

“My oldest daughter ordered our July 4th meal for our family. A little pricey, however same as any other BBQ place priced about the same! Our meal was preordered and ready when I arrived to pick it up. Once I got to my daughters she noticed that the brisket portion was less than what it should've been, we were missing one macncheese, no butter for the rolls and there was zero BBQ sauce! I called the restaurant and Sutton, the manager, was very kind, apologetic and offered to do what he needed to do to make it right. He explained that the macncheese portion was correct it was combined into one container and explained if I would drive back with a picture of what I did pick up, he would have brisket ready for me to make the order correct. I said yes because our family has to have BBQ sauce! When I got there he had two containers of brisket, another dozen of rolls and a bag full of butters for us! Thank you Sutton! You're the best!“

“Food always hit the spot with I love they 4 meat bake potatoes“

“I really love the grilled squid. It is the best in town. Also, the Kare Kare is highly recommended. The price is responsible considering how well the food is prepared.“

“I came in on while on vacation. They were super fast, friendly, and the food was amazing!“

“I love coming to Dickeys for the Legit Brisket. it is my favorite with the Mac.“

“Absolute best bbq I’ve ever had“

“Excelente lugar y la comida de primero“

“Food is so good that I moved next door to them“

“In town for the weekend and seen the reviews and just had to try it. The reviews most definitely held truth💪🏾. Food is amazing and staff very friendly“

“I visited this restaurant twice with family during my recent visit to Dallas. Ambiance was great and staff very welcoming and attentive. Appeared as if we were being treated as personal guests. Standard of food and hygiene was beyond any doubt remarkable. What really impressed me was that washrooms were sparkling clean with all amenities. Overall an excellent experience and my appreciation to management and owners for doing a very fine job. Wish you all the success!“

“Welcome home. If I could title my review, that would be it. From the moment I stepped through the door, the (cute!) young man behind the counter made me feel like he had been waiting for me all day. I have anxiety, but it melted away with his charm. The mac and cheese wasn’t ready when I got there, so I was given two choices: they’d replace it with any side, or I could wait and they would make it fresh. Who doesn’t like fresh food? I was entertained while I waited, and the time flew by. Food was hot and fresh. Service was above and beyond. It was my first time in Grand Prairie, but I hope to be back ASAP — only partially for the eye candy!“

“We are here on vacation. We wanted to check out the food. The 1st thing upon entering we were greeted by the friendly staff. They let my grandson taste a few things to see what he liked. The staff were Amazing & food was delicious.“

“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.“

“From Louisiana, been here 3 times and each experience was great and unique. Met the owner and several of the staff including the pitmaster . They do so much to help you enjoy it there! The food is wonderful! But do not miss out on the banana pudding! Get it!!!“

“Been going there for years. Great food & good people!!“

“Great food and location !!“

“We travel for work so in and out of a TON of cities constantly. Let me just say without question the best bbq stop I have ever had! Very unique flavor creations and menu choices that were all absolute fire! Place is en Fuego off the charts! Staff were all super friendly and felt excited to serve you! Best food truck experience I have ever had by a long shot. Keep rocking guys and be blessed. Thank you.“

“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!“

“First off, we were the first customers of the day. Literally waited 25 mins until they opened (we live 3hrs away) We were greeted by two kind gentlemen. I wanted to order 3 meats to try since it was our first time and they accommodated my request as they don’t have a 3 meat plate. The food and service are TOP tier. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Best ribs and brisket in town! ❤️“

“Sweet, family owned business. Brisket and fries were good. Atmosphere was fun. The spicy pickle shot almost took me out. Great place!“

“I won’t eat BBQ from anywhere else! Literally the best chopped brisket loaded potato I have ever had🫶 the family that owns it is the sweetest most self-less group of people i have met✨🫶 thank you for filling tummy’s with wonderfulness“

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

“Their turkey legs are awesome. Good BBQ and catfish.“

“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.“

“The best Pho in Dallas, TX“

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

“Food was fantastic. Flavors were well structured, not to sweet, had great depth and some complexity.
Portion sizes were a great perception of value. Would have loved some sliced scallion and maybe some julienne carrots, but that is a preference and not a rating criteria.
Will definitely order again.

Spicy chicken, Bulgogi Beef and Pork Combo, Crispy Dumplings all terrific.

My thanks to the team at CJ. It was quite refreshing to have a great delivery while working late.“

“5 star restaurant 100% recommend“

“This Dickey's has not only great food but also an amazing management team and staff. I placed a catering order for a Celebration of Life luncheon. The food was fresh and delicious, the delivery was on time and not a thing was missing from my large order. My calls with Sal, Ray and other staff members all gave me a feeling of confidence that my order was in good hands and that was exactly the way it turned out.“

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

“9/8 about 6:40 pm

Matthew and Marcus were amazing. When I arrived it was very busy, but they continued greeting everyone as they came in. They also took the time out to ensure everyone got exactly what they needed. They kept a great attitude through the rush! Very great people to have on staff. They communicated and worked well together to get everyone out.“

“Best Brisket, love the people very nice and professional. love the loaded Potato.....and they stuff so much food on your plate.....love it.“

“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.“

“Awesome food and a great selection of snacks for kids“

“Dare I say that this spot rivals LSA Burger in terms of taste, and LSA has some of the best burgers I've ever had.

I ordered 2 sliders for $14, the Main Street and the Rail Sliders. Maria, the chef, cooked the beef to absolute perfection, medium rare, amazingly juicy patties, perfectly complimented with each ingredient. The Main Street used a slight bit of mustard with fried onion strings (basically small strings of onion rings), with cheddar, to create an almost sweet, rich slider. The Rail used cooked onion strings instead, with barbecue sauce and gouda cheese. This made for a much richer, deeply savory slider, one you'll definitely want to eat slowly.

I can't stress enough how well every component was cooked as well as how the all go together to create flavors that are so elegant. I'll definitely be returning. I will say that they are so decadent that you'll probably wish that the slider was a full sized burger instead. Hopefully one day!

Major thank you to Maria for making me and my dad's day out that much better.“

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

“I spent a good chunk of time walking the outfield concourse, hoping to find something sweet or savory with a shorter line. Nothing really stood out, until I turned the corner and spotted the Sweet Baby Ray’s sign.

I went with the BBQ Brisket Mac & Cheese, and it was absolutely amazing, even on a hot day. Rich, flavorful, and totally satisfying. Couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon meal during the game. Worth the wait and the walk.“

“Great place to eat“

“All their meat was tender and smoked just right, the sauce is perfect and the mac n cheese is killer! The owners are the best, we were lucky to meet them! 10/10 will do again!“

“Place is great for a good bratwurst or Bacon cheader ranch fries, I came for spring break for a couple days this past week or so and the people running the food stand are fast and experienced. As soon I ordered the food it took 20 seconds to come out , The only complaint is I wish they had lids for their soft drinks.“

“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!“

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

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“Love this place. Really good barbecue. Beans are amazing. Like to go shoot a little bit of pool
Jess especially goes above and beyond to make sure that I am taken care of . It’s amazing how attentive she really is when she is super busy. I personally have to eat In a very short window, maybe play one game of pool and then boom I gotta be right back off to work. I don’t even get an hour and yet compared to a fair amount of places, I am always out on time and back at work with plenty of time to spare. I am definitely making this place my spot once or twice a week“
