    Mac and cheese, Elote, Birria tacos, turkey sausage, brisket
    Ashley A.

    Parking lot is limited. Bar is full service and a good price. Order food is walk up. Mac and cheese is so cheesy and creamy. The birra tacos are delicious! Turkey, brisket and sausage hands down all 10 out of 10 can't wait to go back!

    It was my first time trying this spot, the food was great, service was prompt and the ambiance was welcoming.

    Ooooooooommmmmmmmmggggggg!! So worth the drive!! The restaurant was very homey and laid back. We were greeted by a very sweet lady at the register. The food I will definitely rate high up there with Dayne's!! We ordered the brisket ( couldn't even pick it up because it was soooo tender that it crumbled in my hands) also ordered the pork burnt ends( very tasty) with the sides of the street corn and the potato salad and who could resist a Texas Twinkie?!?! The best sides I have had thus far!! One of the best BBQ places yet!!

    Awesome little dive bar in Texas with the best BBQ and friendly staff! Food was quick and the beers were delicious

    Two Meat Plate

    When the food is this fresh and delicious, I have to put it on the map. This spot serves up barbecue that's truly Yelp-worthy -- I'm giving it a solid 10/10! I ordered the two-meat plate with brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage, plus mac & cheese and loaded potato salad on the side. Every bite was packed with flavor, and honestly, the meat was so good it didn't even need barbecue sauce (though they do have it if you want it). The vibe inside leans more towards a bar atmosphere, but they also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. If you're craving barbecue, make sure this place is on your list -- it's worth the detour!

    This was my first time visiting the store front, and it was so cool finally being able to see it! They worked so hard to get to where they are now we will always support!! The food was great like always, they posted they had a special that day and it looked so good we had to get it!! The only thing I wish the potato came with was bbq sauce and sour cream, but that's just me. It was still super flavorful either way! The service was great, the person working the register was so nice, she even remembered my name when I was walking out the door! This is definitely still one of my favorite bbq places in Arlington! Thank you guys for everything y'all do

    Chipotle nachos
    Moto S.

    Eaten at 225 several times over the years. Think every visit was when they were parked at Division brewing. Always liked the bbq, but it got to where my visits were mostly to try something new they were touting on Facebook or whatever. Best thing I like about 225 is the non bbq, bbq stuff they make. They just opened in their building, I was out running errands and decided to go check them out. Early afternoon on a weekend. Not super busy, good for me, I looked at the menu above the register. I really was just going to grab a sandwich, but honestly didn't see any sandwiches offered on the menu. Maybe I just missed it, but before I could ask, I was intrigued by the Chipotle nachos. Cashier wasn't sure what was on them, which was a little amusing, but I stopped her and just asked "there is some kind of meat on them, right?" when she nodded and said yes, I told her that was good enough for me. I got a soda from the fountain (No Coke, Pepsi!...but I drink DP anyway) and grabbed a seat at the bar. They saw my number and dropped off my nachos soon after. It was a pretty big pile, plenty for two. I saw the meat was pulled pork, with lots of cheese, and a few other veggie type things, with a sauce (chipotle probably) drizzled on top of everything. They were really good, and not skimpy on the meat. I finished off a pretty good amount of them. My only issue is the chips they use are thick, which is probably good to put off the chips getting soggy quickly, but I still prefer thinner chips. Not a deal breaker, I would get the nachos again. Inside is pretty barren. I think the two pool tables must be leftover from when it was Mavericks sports bar. Doesn't look like they changed much. But I come for the food, not the ambiance. They have birria tacos, think I saw birria ramen, several other regular, non bbq menu items. I remember when they did the pork belly sandwiches, those things were great. No booze, but BYOB. Anyway, glad to see them in a nice, air conditioned space. Over the years I would pass by during summer months because it was just to hot to sit outside.

    Was scrolling social media and saw a post about the day's special of a Burger, side and 2 birria tacos for $20. We have been meaning to go here so many times and decided today was the day. My husband got the special and I got 1/2lb brisket, cherry bomb and a Texas Twinkie. Our food was absolutely outstanding. There was not one single thing I tried that wasn't delicious. They have recently moved from a food truck to a brick and mortar so the inside is still a work in progress but they have lots of seating, tvs and it's clean. My food came out pretty quick and service was friendly. I am kicking myself for not trying them out all the other times I thought about it. If this is you......GO NOW

    Two tacos, two meat, two sides, two drinks $32... absolutely fantastic, authentic Mexican and Texas BBQ collaboration

    We were fortunate five this place down in Arlington near our hotel and AT&T stadium. You sure you check their hours before you go. They're closed Monday and Tuesday. We had two tacos, two meats and two sides for under $30. Good portions absolutely amazing food. Fantastic collaboration between authentic Mexican and Texas barbecue

    Burnt Ends Mmmm!
    Vernetta W.

    I love supporting good food trucks, and this one takes BBQ to another level. This unassuming food truck's BBQ flavors are outstanding. I got the burnt ends, and all I can say is Wow! They were cooked to perfection..and the seasoning is the perfect marriage of savory with just a hint of sweet. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalepeno has just the right amount of heat. Even those who are afraid of jalapeños can do this one. The service was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. I love the turf grass and the clean benches. If you like eating outdoors, they have a very clean area to eat.

    Got the birria quesadilla with macaroni and cheese.

    The food is really good! Would be nice if they buzzers for when your food is ready! You can wait in the business next door which has AC.

Our niece can to visit for a day and she agreed to join us to eat even though she says where she lives there is tons of Mexican restaurants. She was so impressed with the food, saying it the best Tex-Mex she's had. The place is fairly small with a separate bar area so the atmosphere is very easy to relax and talk while eating plus visit. Check this lace out, guaranteed you won't be disappointed!

The restaurant reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.
