“While passing through, I stopped in today for the first time and I'm very pleased with my rib sandwich. The meat came right off the bone. My sandwich had 3 full ribs with the rib tips. The meat was well seasoned and tender. Their ribs is on point! Highly recommend.“

“Catering by Patriotic Pig for my wedding last Saturday was absolutely fantastic! The staff brought my new husband and I a plate directly to our table and the guests all loved the food! We got to have a private tasting before hand and all of the food was delicious. The staff was so friendly at our wedding and greeted every guest with a smile. If you are looking for BBQ for your wedding or special event look no further than Patriotic Pig! They also did full bussing service, cut our cake for us, and cleaned up at the end of the night! The amount of food you get is astronomical and so tender! Our favorite was the chicken, turkey, and pulled pork! The Mac and cheese along with green beans was so good! Thank you so much for being so professional and treating our guests with class and respect! 🤩“

“We needed a turkey and ham and Back Forty made it happen! It honestly was absolutely delicious! Customer service was above and beyond!“

“After leaving disappointed at another pretty well known BBQ establishment in Trophy Club for brisket, my Mom decided to visit this newly opened location!
She of course left with a smile, and pretty tasty BBQ!
I've never tried this BBQ, so placed an order with Kyle through the drive thru! The ribs were tender and tasted very fresh although near closing time!

Let's touch on the banana pudding; wow! Not overly sweet, and have me craving more!(add more cookies, and you've got a real winner)

To top it off, the absolutely admirable service received from Kyle was one to remember!
Sometimes you have these jewels in the restaurant business that need to be recognized for the true people skills they offer, as it is a SKILL!!
Hope this establishment flourishes, and Kyle is leading at the helm - Keep up the wonderful work Sir!“

“Came here on a company lunch.
Very country interior, homey feel. The food was good, the brisket slices were tender, the mac and cheese was decent, super cheesy and perfect consistency. Jalapeño poppers were good in flavor and probably my favorite item ordered. The fried corn was good and sweet!!
The sweet and spicy bbq sauce isn’t as spicy as I thought it was gonna be, I find theres not much spice at all. But the flavor is still bbq and good!
Banana pudding was delicious i wish there were more cookies in it like lining the bottom and the top!
I’ll probably come back! The service was amazing and the boys behind the counter were very nice, helpful, and respectful.“

“The Brisket was lean and good like the Turkey. The frys and Okra were cold. Disappointed about that. The frys dont taste like the other Hutchins. The Okra was way over fried. The Cobbler was good and hot. I will go back to this one one more time.“

“What amazing food and service. They catered my daughter’s graduation party and did an amazing job! Planning a party living out of town isn’t always easy…they made it so easy. Thanks so much!“

“All the food is so good. We love the staff and the vibe too!!“

“Been going there for many years. Food is outstanding and service great!!“

“We were recommended this place by some people in the surrounding area. We were here traveling from Florida and this was hands down the BEST bbq and friendliest staff. Wes and his dad were the most genuine people. We ate here 3 days in a row it was so delicious. The burgers, burnt ends ans pulled pork sandwiches were the best Ive had. If you have room for dessert, the peach cobbler is the way to go.“

“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!!!“

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

“We had our granddaughters sweet 16 here. The staff was so accommodating service was excellent. Food was awesome. A special thanks to Nick Taylor the GM. Took an active part in our surprise. I highly recommend dining there.“

“Fabulous food and customer service! Will definitely be back!“

“Recomiendo todo pero especialmente el trato de las personas que ahí trabajan muy humildes y muy profesionales en su trabajo cuidense y Bendiciones“

“I stopped by Smokey Beards today and was seriously blown away. I had the sliced brisket with coleslaw and salad on the side, and everything was fresh, tender, and full of flavor
I also tried the pulled brisket over fries with mushroom sauce and some great sides, and it was just as good. Every bite stood out.

What really sets this place apart is the quality of the meat. They use prime beef, which is the highest grade, and you can taste the difference right away. Rich, juicy, and done right. Even with that quality, the prices are still very reasonable.

The service made the experience even better. The owner, Artan, and Sharif were both friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to explain everything and made it feel welcoming.

The place has a beautiful setup with that classic Fort Worth, old West vibe, while still offering some creative dishes.

If you’re anywhere in Fort Worth or the DFW area, this spot is absolutely worth it. Easily one of the best barbecue experiences I’ve had.“

“I have eaten and shared my love of BBQ for years traveling the United States in my job, and living for a time in South Texas enjoying the outstanding Tex Mex cuisine of mesquite wood burning smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, turkey, etc. JR's is a wonderful experience if you are looking for outstanding BBQ, family outing, very professional, friendly staff, with a wide selection of menu options that are simply delicious! I have tried the brisket, pulled pork, chicken, turkey, ribs, mac and cheese, other side dishes, and soups. I have never been disappointed. JR is one of the friendliest, generous, and community- oriented individuals you would ever meet. I have had the opportunity to see his operation from the fire pits in the back, kitchen, and have always been highly impressed with the cleanliness of his facility. That speaks volumes to the importance of not just quality taste, flavor blending of smoke wood meats, but to the importance of food safety. I would highly recommend stopping by and trying the food for yourself as the flavor of mesquite smoked meat is tantalizing to the taste buds, the atmosphere is very friendly/inviting, and the service the best! Suffice it to say that JR and his staff go out of their way to make sure your dining experience is memorable, and enjoyable! P.S. ask JR to let you see the fire pits in the back so you can see where the outstanding BBQ is made. JR is very approachable.“

“Ordered for pickup on Sunday, Oct. 27th for an 80th Birthday celebration. Ordered the sliced brisket as well as the chopped brisket and both were delicious!“

“Delicious, nice portions, tasty sauces and friendly! Keep up the good work!“

“I 100% recommend this restaurant, mainly because of the friendly people who work there. I especially want to recognize Mike Quinney who helped us with a gift card issue. I hope the owner Chris Carol sees this so he can understand what an asset he has in Mike Quinney. He helped me and my mother above and beyond and I want everyone to know what a great store partner he is. The food is delicious also and it’s been a go too since I was very young.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff“

“I wanted to comment on what good portion sizes they have here. I've eaten here several times and have thoroughly enjoyed my food I also think they have a very good work ethic because the owner answers the phone on occasion.“

“Great family owned BBQ place! The service was quick & friendly and the food was delicious! It was family friendly, my kids even agreed! The owner, AJ, chatted with us and made us feel welcomed! Thanks from Nebraska!“

“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.“

“I recently visited Sammie's BBQ, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. **Atmosphere:** The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, rustic ambiance that perfectly complements the BBQ theme. The decor features a charming mix of wood and metal, giving it a cozy yet modern feel. The place was bustling with activity, but the seating arrangement ensures that you have enough space to enjoy your meal comfortably. **Service:** The service at Sammie's is top-notch. The waitstaff are not only incredibly attractive but also friendly and attentive. They make you feel welcome and are always ready to help with recommendations or to refill your drinks. Their professionalism and cheerful demeanor truly enhance the dining experience. **Food:** Now, onto the most important part – the food. Sammie's BBQ offers a wide range of smoked meats and traditional sides, all prepared to perfection. I tried the brisket and ribs, both of which were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The smoky aroma and the perfectly balanced seasoning made each bite a delight. The sides, including the creamy coleslaw and the savory baked beans, were the perfect accompaniment to the main dishes. Don't miss out on their homemade BBQ sauce – it's a game-changer. **Drinks:** The coldest beer in town **Value:** Considering the quality of the food, the exceptional service, and the overall dining experience, Sammie's BBQ offers great value for money. The portion sizes are generous, and you definitely get your money's worth. **Overall:** Sammie's BBQ is a standout in the world of barbecue restaurants. Whether you're a BBQ aficionado or just looking for a great meal in a lively setting, this place won't disappoint. I highly recommend giving it a visit – you won’t regret it! ★★★★★“

“I love Kids Eat Free on Sundays and I love how you can get your own sides. Brisket is shockingly good!“

“WOW!! Whiskey & Smoke @ the River Walk, invariably and substantively, transcends. Seems irrespective of where we now travel and dine, we find ourselves craving this fabulous food! Sinfully sublime melt in your mouth steaks - and that open flame seasoning, magic. Even the comfort food sides ring decadently delicious. Tack on superb service and we are delightfully hooked. It's become a habit that compels us to return, time and again. How handy that W&S is right here in the heart of Flower Mound. Extraordinary! 🤩“

“Tommy Money let us hold a small engagement party here and went above and beyond! We were able to get a secluded section of the establishment just for us to celebrate our friends.

Food was great, service was better, and we were able to make a lasting memory! 10/10 would recommend!“

“The Candy Yams and Collard Greens are amazingly good, it tasted like my grandmother was in the kitchen“

“The best Pho in Dallas, TX“

“This Rudy's location is consistently good. I like their smoked potatoes loaded with turkey or pork loin. Pulled pork sandwiches are good as well. Rudy's does not have a fryer, so no fries or fried okra, but lots of other sides to choose from. I bought a bottle of their Sissy Sause to take home.“

“I don’t even leave reviews like this but I had to. True Texas BBQ is hands down the BEST barbecue I’ve ever had and I’m beyond picky. My food has to be seasoned and flavorful or I’m not impressed.

That chicken?? Baby. So juicy. Seasoned to perfection. The perfect balance of spice and a little sweetness. I literally shocked myself at how fast I ate it 😭 I was tearing that chicken UP.

I called my best friend while I was still eating and told her I’m taking her next time my treat. That’s how good it was.

They definitely gained a regular customer. If you haven’t tried them, you truly don’t know what you’re missing. And if you’re thinking about it… stop thinking and just GO.

Get there. Get there. GET THERE. 🔥“

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

“The best roadhouse in the dfw 🤘🤠“

“Thank you to all the staff and "ERIC"I have know him since he worked in Crowley Cousins. I was a butcher in the Kroger store in Crowley for 32 years. Being a guy who knows his meat cuts, this establishment serves the best meats in Funky Town Fort Worth and Crowley. Give them some love this coming 2026 year. Let's make them the BBQ destination of Texas.“

“A great Korean restaurant to get a quick bite to eat.“

“The owner and servers at Tam Tam Zing welcomed us with friendly service, delicious recommendations, and an incredible feast of sambusas, chicken wings, plantains, and smoked goat. I can't wait to come back soon to try more delicious Cocktails during their very affordable happy hour, and other unique dishes off of their pretty large menu! The vibe was nice with a good crowd on Saturday night, and it'll be fun to check out the back pool table area and patio when it's cooler out.“

“Me and my friends went here a week ago and I got the half rack of ribs 😱😱😱O my friking gosh those are sooooo good they fall right off the ribs. it took a while to get seated tho but not too bad overall this was a 5 star service and food. will come back every chance I get.“

“Food was super fresh delicious totally recommend & we driving all the way from Denton it’s worth it 🙂🙌“

“The Foods are amazing. We always stop by here whenever we visit Austin“

“Delicious... For appetizers we ordered the Texas Tonion and the White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms... both of them were savory. For the main dish we had 2 Outlaw Ribeye, a Flo's Filet and a Ribeye..... Amazingly juicy and tender... The sides are also delicious.. The Ocra, the sweet potato, the Mac and cheese. Excellent staff attention. Thanks for your service.“

“I'll try to be as honest as possible.
The food is really good, the drinks are great, the service is also really good. The atmosphere is my only problem.
Between the music and the crowd, it's a bit much. They have a little side room that can do two or three families only. That was where they seated us..and the speakers were so loud we just stared at each other during the meal. No conversation unless you leaned in and spoke directly into their ear. I would still highly recommend just for the food.“
