31 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! 🤩“

“I'm going to tell y'all about my favorite bbq joint, Back Forty Smokehouse, on Main, off Davis, in North Richland Hills. I've been going there a long time and most often, I call in an order to go, but I have also dined in. It's a very nice place and the staff is excellent. I almost always buy the manager's bbq special, their smallest family pack. For $45, you get your choice of meat (1 lb. of sliced, chopped, pork, or many more choices), 3 sides (1 pint each, beans, coleslaw, potato salad, okra, mac n cheese, fries, etc.), 5 Texas toast, pickles, onions, and choice of sauces. The sliced can be moist, lean, or mixed, they have some spicy bbq sauce available, the potato salad isn't sweet, the beans can be sweet baked beans or pintos with bacon, the coleslaw is rough cut and not sweet. These are all good attributes in my eyes. Maybe y'all will think I just don't know better but I'd put their stuff against anyone else's. The sliced is excellent, tender, smoked well, lean if you want it, more fatty if that's your deal. Went there today and got the $45 deal and once again, got enough for my wife and I to easily eat twice. You can fix 5 plates like the one in the photo. That's a regular sized dinner plate, with pintos, coleslaw, potato salad, onions, pickles and sliced brisket. I like a little sauce on mine“

“We decided to give Barrel & Bones in NRH a try and we were NOT disappointed!! We came for the food and stayed for the first night of karaoke!! The food was absolutely amazing! The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was a cool vibe!!“

“First time visiting Soulman's BBQ in NRH, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Double Barrel loaded baked potato topped with chopped beef brisket, and it was absolutely delicious. The brisket was tender and flavorful, and paired perfectly with all the loaded potato toppings. Their BBQ sauce was fantastic too — the perfect finishing touch. On top of the great food, the service was excellent from start to finish. Even got a warm welcome to my table from Remi who is just starting his management training. Will definitely be back!“

“Stopped in for a bag of chopped beef sandwiches. The kind lady asked if I wanted pickles. I said yes. Waited maybe 2-3 minutes for my food which is pretty good. Get home and no pickles. They weren't expensive at all, but it's the principle of getting the order right. Maybe an oversight this time. I'll be back in the future. Hopefully the order is right then. By the way, the sandwiches are bbq sauce are great.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“First time going to hutchins in Arlington and it was really good. Good food, meat was smoky and good service, friendly service. I would go again in the future.“

“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.“

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

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

“First time visiting the restaurant everyone was very professional it was very clean and the food was piping hot!! Simply delicious Ty was very helpful I will be back the portions were very generous! Thanks for making our dinner a great one!“

“The best BBQ in Ft Worth! All natural ingredients, all house made, great people. Spread the word.
EDIT: Whatever you do, DO NOT order the pulled brisket. No flavor, dry, tough.
Pit master is out of country. If you can't teach someone to prepare a decent product then close when you're away. If last night was my first visit, you would have a negative rating.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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.
