“We have been there twice and the food was really good both times. The ribs are great. Good flavor and fall right off the bone.🥰“

“Fantastic BBQ with a Tex-mex flare, won’t be disappointed. Must try !!!!“

“Awesome BBQ Joint“

“I don't even write reviews, that alone should say a lot. But ever since Brothermans BBQ shut down on the southside, I've been looking for a new BBQ spot in Dallas. Most of these BBQ places are trash. I went in here and placed a to go order for sausage, brisket, and mac & cheese. Got to my car and the smell was too good. I couldn't even wait to exit the parking lot. So I took two bites of the brisket like any big back would. I then proceeded to close my plate, exit my car, and got back in line. Basically... I'm a regular now.“

“The food is delicious, and everyone is super friendly and helpful. I love the barbecue, the fried catfish, and the fried okra. All the desserts are fantastic, especially the banana pudding and the bread pudding.“

“Plano Babes in Business had the most amazing time supporting local owner Tim at Burnt Barbecue and Tacos!🔥🌮 The food was absolutely delicious — we especially loved the potato salad made from his grandmother’s recipe. How cool is that? Tim shared that summer tends to be a bit slower with everyone busy, so we were extra glad to be there today to support him and his awesome team. It’s a great reminder that we can all make a difference by showing up for our local businesses. That’s exactly what we got to do today, and we feel so blessed for the opportunity. 🙌 Thank you, Tim, for the amazing food and hospitality. We can’t wait to come back! #SupportLocal #PlanoEats #WomenSupportingBusiness #BurntBarbecueAndTacos“

“The food—the bbq, the sides, the sauce, the dessert, and the drinks, are all out of this world. 10/10. But also the atmosphere is awesome and the service is also 10/10. The employees are so kind and are really hard working and care about customers. I can’t wait to come back here!“

“I am a big time Buc-ee’s chopped sandwich fan and this place serves as good as theirs. It’s tastes amazing, clean BBQ meat. The only off thing about this spot is the wait time. You gotta be early and wait at least 20 mins to get your order but it’s totally worth it.
Would really appreciate if the management can put up a shed outside to save us from the scorching sun.
Definitely going back again 🙌🏼“

“We finally got to try Lico’s and wish I had gone sooner. My wife and I ordered the combos and got different options so we could sample it all. Everything we had we loved.“

“I don’t have the best food palate. Like I can’t pick out individual ingredients in a dish you cooked, but that aside I’d like to think of myself as a foodie. Was my first time visiting here on recommendation from a coworker and I can say I’ll definitely be adding this place to my rotation of restaurants. I tried a little bit of everything, sides and meats. Best meat from menu were for sure the ribs. I had a bad experience at another restaurant (not Soulman’s) where I had a full rack of ribs and I think about twenty minutes into my meal they were impossible to chew. In comparison I ate here for well over an hour and the meat was still coming cleanly of the bone. Didn’t need barbecue sauce, I actually kept forgetting to put it on. Best sides were the mac and cheese and the creamed corn. The mac was creamy but not runny noodles cooked just right and had a crust for a nice change in texture as well. The creamed corn was amazing… not runny at all, totally emulsified. Whatever sweetener was added developed this subtle caramel-y flavor. I would’ve ordered 16oz for myself if I didn’t get so much food already.
What BLEW ME AWAY: was the staff particularly a gentleman by the name of Yanzey. I’ve worked in restaurants/customer service for a little over ten years now and I’d like to think I’ve got little to learn from someone else. I’m excellent at making connections with customers and it’s something I take an appropriate amount of pride in. If you would describe yourself similar to me then come to Soulman’s when Yanzey’s here! You’ll find what you have left to learn when it comes to taking care of and recognizing your patrons! Yanzey gave me the names of the other two staff, but unfortunately I can’t recall their names… they however were exactly the same as Yanzey—attentive to everyone that walked in the door. In particular I heard “it’s good to see you again” quite a few times in just the ninety minutes I was there. Then I overheard a conversation Yanzey was having with another patron who I gathered spoke Swahili. My jaw hit the floor at the connection he was making with her: this guy was SPEAKING IN SWAHILI to her and sharing the conversational phrases he had been learning!! The delight in this lady’s voice I heard was so special. Somebody for a moment recognized her individually in a way that I’m sure doesn’t happen often. That’s when I threw my hands up and was like “alright who is this guy?!” Unreal. If you come here with a complaint about the staff you would’ve complained no matter who it was and you’re just having a bad day, because these guys are perfect! Thanks everyone! I’ll be back for more ribs and creamed corn! :^)“

“Fast service and everything was super good.“

“After having some really big issues with my old venue so I was a bit on a budget. My wedding planner had told me they cater weddings so I had reached out to Erika. Since the start she has been so kind and accommodating. We had a food tasting with her and she walked us through everything. With her help she put a lot of my stress at ease and I can’t wait for her to cater our wedding! I can’t say enough good things about her.“

“I have to tell you this is the best Dickey’s around! I decided a long time ago not to ever eat at any Dickeys ever again after one in Rowlett! Let me tell you the food at this one is so great! Stop in and eat you will not be disappointed!“

“Had great service from Angelina tonight for some delicious fried fish. A local favorite.“

“Recently catered a memorial for our family. The owner went over and beyond on the food. It was delivered and set up in a timely fashion. Everything had its own unique savory taste. The spicy bbq sauce is 10/10 strongly recommended.

We will be having them cater our next family event.“

“Whole Hog Cooking #1. This is old fashion in the back yard southern style cooking. The skin is the best or shall we say real Pork Rinds. I can’t wait to put in my order for this Thanksgiving Day Celebration“

“Had an amazing time here! The food was absolutely delicious — every bite was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service was just as impressive; the staff were super friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. You can tell they really care about their guests. Highly recommend this place for a great meal and a good vibe!“

“Amazing food and customer service“

“Brisket: A+ Pork ribs: A++ Stuffed jalapeños: A Turkey:A+ Customer Service: A+++ Travel distance from my house just to try Hickory Heat BBQ: 145 Miles“

“This was our first time. It was a little odd at first. Just not a typical place we have been too. This place was so good and a lady who was picking up tables was the sweetest! I am not a huge fan of barbecue but oh my This was an amazing place to eat! Highly recommend!“

“I have been to many, many Korean BBQ spots. In all of Texas, California, Florida & Washington State this is by far the my fav!!! Service was 11 out of 10 stars & the meat quality was 10 out of 10. Must try once before you die...dispite slightly higher price, proportion, quality & service makes up for the slight lack in atmosphere. Beef Combo #8 is recommended for 2, but can feed 3 & a half.“

“Huge breakfast tacos for a great price! They don't skimp on the meat! I was trying to eat it without it dropping all the meat out. Seriously great!

5/22/2025 - Stopped in to get a Jalapeno, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast taco. 1 was all I needed! It was loaded with plenty of sausage, and eggs. The flavor was really good, and the salsa went nicely with it. Price was reasonable for the amount you get. You won't feel cheated, as with other places that serve Breakfast Tacos.

Update- 8/27/25- I really like the quality and amount of brisket I get in their sliced brisket sandwiches. The meat is perfectly smoked, and tender. I bring my own sauce, or I add my own at home. I give it a different flavor, and make it lower carb. Yum! Two thumbs up to Rudy's, and the nice friendly employees!“

“Great food!! Hibachi Cabbage and spicy noodle is so good. And extra friendly staff. Will definitely go back soon.“

“I was amazed by how it taste: the lamb skew, fried noodles, the grilled veggies, tendons and everything that we ordered. I spent years in Beijing and this place even beats most places back in china, I guarantee you. I would definitely come back every chance I get.“

“My husband and I ate here last night when we walked in the door the waitress (young lady) was warm and welcoming as she explain the food style to us. so we stayed and she helped explain the menu to us as everything was written in Chinese. We ordered a few items and loved the flavor! Spicy 🌶 was what she described the food would be, it was but the amounts of other spices and herbs balanced it out just right! We will be back lots more to try on this menu.“

“Best Beef Tenderloin ever! We had a Christmas Party last weekend for 10 people and Jeff knocked it out of the park! Highly recommend and definitely will be ordering again! 😊“

“From the moment you enter that place team give you an agreeable feeling. Very friendly hosts, it is a lovely place to hang out with friends or with your date. very good cooking, experienced chief cook and stuff, comfortable price and courteous service. Highly recommended.“

“The food—the bbq, the sides, the sauce, the dessert, and the drinks, are all out of this world. 10/10. But also the atmosphere is awesome and the service is also 10/10. The employees are so kind and are really hard working and care about customers. I can’t wait to come back here!“

“the best BBQ in my life so far!!“

“Great food with a drive thru...super fast service!! We need you in South Bend, IN“

“We've always had a good experience at this location. We picked up a XL family pack for father's day & it was great. Brisket, sausage & chicken were perfect. Sides were fresh. 3lbs of meat & 4 large sides for under $100! It's a great value compared to other BBQ places as well. This is a good, clean Dickey's run by friendly people“

“This has been me and my wife’s go to spot since we’ve moved to Dallas. Phong and his crew have been absolutely amazing to us and we’re sad to be moving away.

Not only is the food amazing, but the service is second to none. We’ve been treated so kindly since the first time we tried this spot.

If you’re ever in the area, definitely give this place a try and I promise you won’t be disappointed.“

“This by far the best Spring Creek in Dallas Ft. Worth Area. The food is about the same good BBQ but what makes this one better then the rest is the people that work at this location .I have eaten at most of the Spring Creek but pass one up to come to this one. A very kind lady named SARA always make sure i am well taken care 5 star for sure customer service.“

“I have eaten at this location numerous times over the past several decades since they first opened in 1980, but this is my first review....
The Manager, Adam, is a consummate professional. He is courteous, and extremely knowledgeable about everything pertaining to Spring Creek. He is an excellent role model for all the team members, and provides great customer service. I dined in recently with a friend. We were greeted by the man cutting the meats, and told him we wanted the Baby Back Ribs, and Brisket dinners. He gave us very generous portions of each. I asked the man serving the homestyle vegetables about the okra basket, never having tried them before. He asked me if I wanted to try them cooked fresh & hot, and offered a complimentary serving. Wow. Thank you! David was at the cash register, and assisted me with my Que Rewards, and buy-one-get-one-free coupon. I am a retired senior citizen living on a fixed income, and the BOGO coupon provides a great value and savings. I have visited with Guillermo many times. He always has a positive attitude, and makes sure everything is ok. I look forward to the hot, fresh baked rolls. They are a Spring Creek specialty, as well as the peach cobbler & cream. Every time I've eaten here the food has been tasty, tender, and delicious. Mmmm good! All the team members are very courteous & professional, with each individual providing awesome customer service! A shout out to EVERYONE on the team, including Alex, Violet, Tristan, Tara, Davion, & Sam.! Job well done! Also, please be aware that this company has donated to hundreds of charity organizations, focusing on youth sports groups, schools, teachers, churches, and community outreach and service programs. Thank you for EVERYTHING y'all do! Good people + good food + good service + good atmosphere = 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Reviews! 🤠“

“Good service and good food… outdoor seating with beautiful view.“

“Authentic Korean food, always delicious and satisfying. The portions are good and prices are reasonable. love the barley tea.“

“Good place to have dinner. A lot of the skewers are heavy on cumin, so be aware. Everything that we ordered were good. Their boba drinks are very good, especially the strawberry yogurt, and add on the popping boba, very nice. Open late.“

“As a newcomer to America, I found a job and worked here. When I realized that the man was not honest and was a bad person, I wanted to quit my job and he said he wouldn't pay me my 2 weeks' wages. The food in the restaurant is definitely not fresh. and the kitchen is not clean enough. cockroaches are roaming in the kitchen. I quit my job because I don't want to work in such a bad place. He changes the oil in which he fry the chicken and chips once a week. Literally a garbage dump.“

“Very good freshly cooked food“

“Amazing!!! The service was wonderful and the sweet lady at the counter had the most kind smile! The Kimchi Jjigae was probably the best I have ever had. The Kimchi tasted fresh and homemade, along with their other side dishes. My mother said that the egg rolls were the best she has ever eaten as well! The Japchae is also a great choice, very flavorful and the bulgogi was perfect. I could not recommend this place enough, it deserves every star possible. If you are in Plano and looking for Korean food, I would suggest Dawon over any other place for sure.“

“Great place to eat BBQ, or to take home. Family friendly restaurant and great atmosphere.“

“We just finished eating here for Mother’s Day and it was AMAZING! Shoutout to Chris! He gave the BEST customer service!“

“We came on 11/06/22 around 5 pm family of 4, not really busy we saw a lot of empty tables but the lady server wanted us to share a a room with other couple When I told her no and asked about empty tables she didn’t really give me the answer and told us to wait for 10 -15 minutes for the table We decided to go to other place I dont know the quality of the food but 0 ⭐️ for service“

“Great steak, great service“

“Omg so I was looking for some good ribs and I checked several places and read reviews and I decided to come here and when I tell you the ribs were falling off the bone omg so good!! 10 out of 10 would I recommend and I even told my husband I will be back tomorrow lol!! So good“

“I think this a new restaurant and not many people know about it but anyways it was our first time and we absolutely loved the food. The kababs were probably the best we have had. Very very clean and lean and extremely juicy. We tried the beef and brisket burgers and they are not your regular sized ones. Everything exceeded our expectations. We’re definitely going back.“
