Had 1/2 lb of Brisket & Sweet Tea Brisket & Tea were excellent . Set up was odd in that when we walked in we weren't sure what to do as there were just people sitting down on a stone mantel. We figured out we were to go behind a fence where they were cooking Then we were told to go through another door . There was a server there who offered bread, white or wheat ( would have liked toasted or garlic bread options ) Then wasnt aure what to do next, walked through a line with unmarked food options , got what I thiught was butter, but was hot mustard or something Was looking for baked beans & got some dessert item They have cooked beans for free, but would have l liked BBQ flavored baked beans, but they were good. The oroginal sauce was excellent As a bonus their qas a bar area Chairs were all on the harder side , girlfriend didn't like that Was confusing on how to leave

Food got 3 stars only because of a culmination of my visits here. However, if I were rating off my experience tonight, it would be 1 star. I came here - far out of my way - because of past experiences with their steaks being tender, flavorful and cooked with precision. Upon entering, my initial interaction with the guy taking my order and watching the kid grilling, I was apprehensive. Sadly, I was correct. My steak came and when I cut into it, it was medium rare... But that was the only part 🤦There was no continuity in how it was cooked. Half of it was medium well, some parts well, medium and the one section I cut into upon delivery, as ordered, medium rare. The steak itself was grissly, tough, grainy, flavorless, and it was only lukewarm even though charred. There was another person whose steak was not cooked properly. The kid at the grill looked like he didn't know what he was doing and no concept of how heat is distributed. Needless to say, I am extremely hesitant to return.

The service is comically good here. They have a patrol to pace the lobby looking for people who are done eating so they can take your tray, I don’t think I’ve ever made it all the way to the trash can with one. Food is always fantastic, honestly love it here.

We live in Michigan and whenever we are visiting the Dallas area we come to Hard Eight. It is one of our favorite BBQ restaurants. Everything is so good. My favorite is the wet brisket and it's always so moist and tender. They heard we were visiting and they gave us a few freebies to try. Thanks so much. I like how you can pick from all of the meats and make a sampler. Make sure to get the jalapeño corn. I am hungry thinking about it now.
One word. AMAZING. If you get the chance, go. Absolutely go.

This is just something you have to do. When you're in Texas, do as the Texans do and get some Texas BBQ. The whole experience has a ranch feel. You need to get the jalapeno creamed corn and I just get a jalapeno bun on the side with lots of butter. As for the meat, the ribs are okay but the brisket is absolutely pinnacle. Get some extra to take home. I like the Roanoke location best because it's a little historic town and it's got a great little street you can walk on and go and get some candy for the kids next door or get a drink in one of the cantina's.
