24 Best Barbeque Restaurants near North Richland Hills

“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!“

“We love Soulman's so much. Until the location in N. Richland Hills opened, we would drive east to Van Texas to get their BBQ and especially the Ranch House Beans. The staff is very accommodating with a special shout to Holly (NRH location). She was working the drive-thru window when I went there a couple of days ago. I had a fairly large order with a few special requests. Holly took care of it with a smile and when we got home with the food, everything was correct. I have not gone inside the N Richland Hills location yet, but the one in Van is very nice and clean. I feel certain this location will be also. I very highly recommend Soulman's.“

“Had my birthday lunch here and you really can’t beat it. Way more lowkey than the Fort Worth locations and felt more personal and comfortable. You can get banana pudding as a side which is incredible! I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is the ONLY barbecue that I will eat and enjoy! The food never disappoints and it’s always nice seeing this small business thriving! This is a must if you want REAL Texas BBQ!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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.
