Went looking for hidden gems. Lots to choose from in this town. Tempting smells the moment you open the door. They have Brisket, but decide sliced or chopped? Sliced....I have missed good brisket. So Many Options and Sides to choose from. The menu board was confusing to me, so I went with a sure thing; a brisket sandwich. Partner had brisket and pork ribs, sides beans, tasty, was happy we came upon this place. Loved the onion rings and fried okra, a childhood favorite and could have eaten more. The collegiate decor and deer mounts, epic Texas, are sublime! We'll be back! read more

Great food; well priced. What keeps me coming back over and over-the staff/service. Kind, welcoming, efficient, gregarious, and in a word-they define hospitality. read more

I saw this little place on my way to work and thought, hmmm I'll give them a try! I am so glad I did. The restaurant is pretty cozy. The employees are so friendly! The service was awesome. The food... all I can say is OMGG! I got the brisket baked potato. It is huge... bonus dinner! I'm usually not a big fan of the sauce, but this one is great. If y'all are in the area, stop by this great BBQ place. It's A.Ma.Zing!!!! read more

Back Country BBQ - Brisket Baked Potato - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Was invited to go see the banjo players, so we decided to eat. 1st let me say the cook was very friendly and professional . However the cashier tried to charge me for the lady ahead of us and I had to tell him I wasn't paying for her. Then he charged me again so I had to make him remove all her charges and if that wasn't bad enough, after I paid I picked up my 2 drinks the table number and something else (don't remember what because I was upset) when he tried to hand my another plate. I looked at him like how do you expect me to hold that! I expected him to get me a tray or carry to the table (that didn't happen) I only wish I had known that before I tipped him ( this is what's wrong with tipping before service) The food was not great! I had the chopped brisket sandwich (extremely dry) and my grandson had the kids chicken strips and fries . ($36.10) Ended up bringing it home. (Ketchup was hard and old grandson refused to eat it. For myself I won't be returning . read more

Back Country BBQ - Chopped Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Brisket and the others meats were delicious. We ordered a few days before for pickup and everything including sauce was fresh and hot!

Best meat ever, when you walk in the door you are engulfed with the best smoked smell of Barbecue meat. Tiki Hubby and I got beef and pork ribs, coleslaw baked potatoe and some yummy corn dish. The meat was smoked to perfection and their tangy sauce was perfect. The ribs fell off the bones we tried to decide which was better pork or beef both won! Causal large dinning room. The guys behind the counter were so much fun taking our order and delivering the meaty wonders. read more

Finally, an "old-school" BBQ place. I'm tired of establishments serving "wagyu" brisket at $30+ per pound. There are no games like that, here. Excellent specials, tasty sides, really good smokey flavor, and a staff that makes you feel at-home. I'm a big fan. read more

Back Country BBQ serves some of the best bbq in Dallas! From the meat to the sides, everything tastes mouthwateringly delicious and flavorful. In the decades since my family first started going here, we have never experienced a bad meal. The staff is friendly and funny! The restaurant itself offers plenty of seating but feels homey and comfortable. I always recommend Back Country BBQ to anyone who asks! read more

Today my wife and I thought we would have a barbecue sandwich so we ordered two chopped brisket sandwiches, no sides. $23.46 . Wow, Right ! That's $11.73 each sandwich. Which the barbecue sandwiches was like for a child, the chopped brisket was maybe a half cup, maybe if luckily. The bun was junior size. Sad, despondent and grade it as a C . Will not be going back. read more

Got the loaded baked potato with brisket meat and side of chili. It was sooo good . I need a nap now lol. Thank you, I will be back soon. read more

The Baked potato was delicious and cooked very well! I got chopped beef on top! Service was fast and staff were friendly!

The staff is very friendly. Nice, calm atmosphere. The pork ribs are delicious and the bbq sauce is sweet and tangy. I love the greenbeans. They remind me of my grandmother's.

Visited Texas after 22 years and Beef ribs were on my must-have list. Went to Back Country BBQ on a local friends recommendation. The ambience took me back to the 90's Dallas with so many memories. The service was genuine Tex-Mex brand of caring and openness. We didn't expect the food to be extra-ordinary coming from a road side small shop. Ordered beef ribs, brisket, and a whole bunch of side items. Everything was outstanding, exceptional, and words can't describe good. We started salivating at the sight of the food and forgot to take pictures until completely sated! God bless them for feeding us the best of Texas BBQ. read more

YUM! Had dinner at Back Country BBQ. Best Pork ribs and love their high quality brisket! The side dishes were excellent too-had the BBQ Beans and Cole Slaw. I don't always like Cole Slaw but theirs was really good. QUIET too. I love being able to hear my dinner companions! Great place for a large crowd too. They have some large tables for groups. We are long time patrons and they are consistently good. Get yourself on over to Back Country BBQ-one of the BEST BBQ restaurants in Dallas! read more

BEST IN DALLAS.....I'm 72 , I've been eating Texas barbecue my whole life and this is is good as any I've ever had

It's the worst plate I have tasted in a long time. They are not kind people. Worst beef ribs ever. read more

Back Country BBQ - Worst taste. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time going I got chopped beef sandwich and I loved it! This time decided try potato w/chopped beef. It was loaded w/flavor. I've been back several times for chopped beef sandwiches. They offer banana pudding but I'm picky about my banana pudding. It was made the night before so Nilla wafers were soggy. I could tell it was homemade, I just didn't care for it. Pinto beans are good. read more

Back Country BBQ - Baker with Meat is really good & filling. Order to go and they brought out to my car. Very friendly & fast lunch! Thx - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place is fantastic! The service was probably the best I've ever had a bbq place. I had the Turkey dinner with greens and Mac n cheese. Great experience. Will be back. read more

Solid and affordable. I came here with my family at 5:00 on a Saturday and there was no one in here. Food was very good though. I recommend.

Best authentic BBQ - old school! No fancy or crazy spices, just good old fashioned sweet BBQ. Best sauce in town and it's sold by the jar to-go. Love the lean brisket and awesome ribs. Sides are good too. You will not leave hungry! GO!!!! read more

Been coming here since I was a teenager back when it was on NW Hwy at Ferndale. Today was really good. I had the half chicken with two sides and couldn't finish it. Is there better BBQ out there? Yes, but not at these prices. My dinner was $14.00, less than a brisket sandwich at OAK'D. Service from Theo is always awesome, but not for long as he is retiring in September. The menu here is large. If you don't want BBQ, there are other options. The place is clean, restrooms are clean. I'll be back. Hopefully before Theo retires. read more

OK - this has been my default BBQ place for about 30 years now. I got to know Big Mike, Mr. Frank and Mr. Earnest over the years. Several years ago, Mr. Frank sold out and new owners took over. In this COVID shutdown environment, I'm sensitive to trying to support my local and favorite places when their traffic has slowed significantly and their costs have gone up. However, on Friday, 2/5/2021, I reached my breaking point. The restaurant was poorly illuminated. There was no "welcome, how can what can we serve you today." approach. The lady manning the cash register said she had just started working and it showed through her lack of training and her personality void of any type of warmth or engagement for customer service. The line and kitchen staff were disorganized in trying to communicate and manage the preparation 4 different customer's orders, including mine. When I got back home with our order, some pieces (ribs, turkey) were as good as usual. Others (sausage, fries) were either off their standard (different sausage vendor) or didn't travel well. The overall quality of their food has declined consistently to just mediocre or slightly below average at best. Lastly, while I stated I'm sympathetic to the plight of local restaurants; local restaurants have to understand that my income isn't going up and there's a breaking point. Back Country BBQ reached that breaking point with me. I can no longer afford to eat at this restaurant. Over $40 for 2 - 2 meat platters and an additional 1/4# of sausage - no drinks. I've seen their prices creeping up over the last year compared to their competition; but, no more. I can find better customer service, better food, and better pricing with not having to drive more than an additional 5-10 minutes. Sorry Back Country BBQ - you're off the list as your menu prices are trying to cover too much of your survival mode ... your customer service "bang to hype" ratio is out of proportion ... and your food taste and quality is currently just average. I hope you survive; but, your future is grim, in my opinion. read more

Celiac's beware. Back country barbecues whole chicken comes with bread on top. It's not specified on the menu, and it's not anywhere on the website, but if you order a whole chicken, they will send it to you with two giant slices of bread on top to add a heavy dose of gluten to what is otherwise a normal chicken. We called to complain and request that they make good on the order as we just wanted chicken not a giant chicken sandwich. Every other meat item we've ever ordered from them comes without the bread. They told us to talk to Uber Eats, not their issue. Too bad for us. Don't make the same mistake we did. Be sure to specify gluten-free on EVERYTHING, including the pickles. read more

Back Country BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Dropped in for some meat and potatoes. We had the brisket, ham and turkey. All so flavorful! Both the ham and turkey were moist and the brisket had a nice smoke ring. The potato was excellent. We will be back soon! read more

After many years, ownership has changed to new but seasoned BBQ restaurant manager of many years. The interior has been completely upgraded. Stainless steel surfaces from floor to ceiling in the areas where food is being served and prepared. Beautiful new tables and chairs, the hangings on the walls -- primarily college banners -- have been replaced with new and more additional school banners, and they are tastefully hung. Restrooms have new tile throughout and brand new fixtures, and every time I've been there, the men's room has been whistle clean. The place is downright spotless and with an enormous amount of paved parking. And with the superior amount of parking, the updates, the nice size party room became the perfect destination for birthday, anniversary and retirement parties. The food, of course, is what it's all about, and the meats and the sides are equally inviting. Stop by and see for yourself. read more

We were visiting in Dallas and I found this place online as it had good reviews. When we drove up, we thought twice about whether we wanted to go here because it didn't look like much from the outside. I don't usually enjoy getting a tray and ordering my food, but this was the best barbecue we have had! The meat was tender and moist, the potato salad was excellent, and we enjoyed a couple of beers there. we will definitely stop back next time we are in Dallas! read more

love their beef and cole slaw. have been a customer since the 80's and always use them for parties. Everyone raves about their ribs too! Great place read more

Always great Texas bbq in the traditional Texas style. Friendly service and usually room for groups to meet for Sunday lunch or other.

This place is great if you are seeking the country style diner. I love taking friends visiting from out of town on our last "hang-over" day. They have really REALLY good food. read more

This place is so damn good! The brisket is so moist and tender!!!!!! Sides are PERFECT! Worth every dime!!!!

Long-time family-owned BBQ joint I must have driven by 100 times on Greenville Avenue while in Dallas visiting family, so I stopped in finally to check it out while free for lunch over the last visit. The first thing that strikes you is just the vibe of the place.....it FEELS like a barbecue joint. Had a ribs lunch, everything was quite good though not world-changing. Restaurant clean and staff very friendly. Would vote 3 1/2 stars for food quality but rounding up to 4 for the ambience and friendly staff. read more

Never Again! Drive a little further. Order incorrect and Big Boss asked if we ate the incorrect food from days ago, no I'm sorry your order was incorrect in sight. OK food but terrible customer service! read more

Back Country BBQ - Wrong order! - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've tried almost everything here and it is GREAT. I come on Saturdays for lunch and it's not very crowded at that time. I think beef ribs are my favorite meat here. Fried okra, vegetable salad, and greens are all good. read more

So delicious, every time! I always get the brisket, and am never disappointed. Also, don't forget the baked potato casserole on the side. Can't leave without it! read more

Terrible not even worth a star the sides are trash the beans are a nasty pooh color and taste like they mixed tamarindo in themand dont get me started on the sauce. There's no middle ground whether it's under season or not seasoned at all. The meat was okay but not worth the price $$ read more

This is an underrated BBQ joint. Their brisket is soft, tasty and all around great. My go-to plate is the Three-Meat Platter: brisket, pulled pork and hot links. You can't go wrong with any meat, really. One of the best features is that the restaurant is literally a block from my office. So I can walk a little after a great lunch. Their service is great too. You will be greeted with a "Welcome! What would you like, young man?" No matter your age. In summary, what makes Back Country BBQ one of my favorite places is its winning combination: great food, friendly service and a very convenient location. read more

Back Country BBQ - Two-meat platter with Spinach Casserole and BBQ Hot Beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Wow! I've been on a hunt for best beef ribs. I believe I found my spot! Fabulous amount of meat on 3 ribs, more meat than fat; which on my quest has been a hard find. Generous portions cooked close to perfection ~ flavorful and price is so reasonable @ $14.99 a plate with yummy salad and green beans. The Texas toast looks great but I am a no carb ~ in bread form ~ girl. My Sexy Pants had the brisket which again he said is worth every bite in price! Yep our new go to for BEST beef ribs! read more

Back Country BBQ - Best beef ribs, hands down! - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

See all

Dallas is full of overrated BBQ joints. There's Pecan Lodge. There's Lockhart BBQ. Shall I continue? I'm not sure if Dallas natives just don't know good BBQ or if they just grow up on thick BBQ ribs that are chewy and tough. Either way, our tenure in Dallas has been a huge disappointment when it comes to doing BBQ right. So when I saw a place languishing in the Greenville area with a 3.5 star average, I wasn't totally yoked to go there but I also knew that Dallas doesn't know good BBQ so maybe it would be worth a shot. On my way in I passed a guy walking out carrying a bunch of bags and asked him if he 'came here often'. He said 'Every Sunday!' I took that as a good omen. I'm really REALLY glad I took a chance on Back Country BBQ. It's set up where you order from behind a counter. We chose the ribs, pulled pork and pulled chicken and a few sides. Everything was sensational. I mean like BEST IN DALLAS. My whole family was shocked. How could this joint be so amazing and so unknown. So I read through some of the reviews. Mostly weird complaints -- cold green beans, menu inside was different than the online menu, blah blah blah. Very few complaints about what YOU CAME HERE FOR!! The ribs were tasty, fall-off-the-bone tender meat. The pulled chicken and pulled pork were great but even better with a bit of house BBQ sauce. The vibe here is very relaxed. No waiters bugging you while you look like a walking dead zombie with red and brown goo smeared across your entire face and hands. Just grab an empty table and chill. There's a DIY soda fountain as well. We don't make it to this part of Dallas often, but next time we do, we'll be sure to stop in at Back Country again for the best BBQ in Dallas. read more

Horribly incompetent staff/management, overpriced, and TERRIBLE food. Easily the worst BBQ I've had in a LONG time. Avoid at all costs.
