Menu was pricey and food was substandard. During this visit the meats were a little cold and baked potato was overcooked. The sides weren't too bad. read more

Baker's Ribs - the interior of a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Fried pies...did I mention Fried Pies? Standard barbeque food with tasty fried pies. We drive by here twice a month and get the pies each time. Had a pork sandwhich which has 6 ounces of meat and the loaded baked potato with chopped beef. The potato skin is crispy and is coated in salt and pepper - a bit spicy but I love the skin. Always get the Coconut cream fried pie which is almost a sin. Added a blackberry fried pie last time, but not enough fruit and a tad syrupy - will stick with the cream pies. Self serve condiment bar and self serve ice cream. This is not a main location Bakers, if you want the really hot fried pies check which locations have them. Decent BBQ but did I mention fried pies. read more

I knew better, but decided to give them a third try since the new owners took over. Ordered the small family meal and did not get any onion, pickles, peppers!?! The sliced brisket was SO fatty that I couldn't even eat it and the 4 rolls were stale! The fried okra was good and the Mac & cheese was cold... wast of money! Never again! At least the dogs enjoyed the "meat" read more

After having a food conversation with a friend he said that this place this was had some good bbq so i drove right over to give it a try. The big pink pig outside made it seem like a nice little welcome. Once inside didn't really smell of BBQ which just made me confused and get a bit sad. Would the food turn my mood around? I decided to order a 3 meat combo with sausage,chicken and chopped beef and a side of slaw. Chicken was very dry kinda gave me flash backs of the horrible turkey dinners in November. Chopped beef was a bit better but way better on a bun instead of just all alone. We come to a high point which is the sausage a bit spicy and juicy no smoke taste but it's a chain so oh well. Not a place i will ever return to and will be going to find real local pitmasters. read more

Why are most BBQ places closed when I NEED BBQ? Seriously, you should be open on Sunday. The after-church crowd needs their fair share of charred flesh! I was looking for a sliced brisket sandwich. I tried three places before landing at Baker's Rib. They get one star for being there for me in my hour of need. The brisket is okay. I prefer my meat a little smokier and my sauce a little less vinegary. $8 gets you a sandwich and two sides. I had the tomato salad which was good and a scalloped potato dish which was not. Staff was pleasant and courteous. This is fast food styled BBQ, same as most joints--meaning no waitstaff. I would go here in a pinch but it would not be a destination restaurant. We are in Texas, after all. read more

Well first of all, I travel immensely and try to scope out a good bbq place when I can. The staff was very friendly and attentive, but the food just average. I ordered brisket, ribs and turkey. I prefer to order bbq from the pit and lay by the pound but the only open on here was the pre-measured 3 meet platter with sides. The meet itself was a bit dry, but the bbq sauce had a great Zing to it so I used it to dress up the meat a bit. Sides I chose were the bbq beans, (very tasty) and the loaded mashed potatoes. The mashed are loaded with bacon and butter! Heart attack delight, but a tasty trip to get there. I ordered one of the "fried pies" and was disappointed as the microwaved epinada knock off was less than stellar. Overall a 3 star for these reasons. Staff was a 5 Meat a 2 Bbq sauce a 4 Sides a 3 I would look elsewhere if there are bbq places in the area. read more

I stopped by because on July 4th Slabs BBQ was closed and the reviews were generally good for Bakers. The food was terrible- with exception of the fries they were delicious! I ordered a sloppy joe, rack of ribs and a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac was bland and clearly garbage, the ribs were so mediocre and certain pieces were inedible so that was a waste. The sloppy joe was smoked and the meat tasted burnt. AVOID read more

I have to admit that my expectations were low but I was quite surprised with my recent visit to Bakers. This is good barbecue for a fair price. The pork ribs were delicious and perfectly cooked. The brisket was smoked well but a bit salty for my taste and I like my salt. The pulled pork was more of a chopped pork but still good. The sides are good and the sauce is absolutely wonderful. I will certainly be returning to enjoy more of this delicious barbecue. read more

Baker's Ribs - 3 meat plate with brisket, pulled pork and pork ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Meh. Not great, not bad. I got the two meat plate and had the sausage and the brisket. The sausage was the netter of the two. The basket was moist but very little smoke ring or smoke flavor. The sodas are all local made, which I thought was pretty cool. I appreciate that, but be aware if you want your Coke products. The sides were bland. I am not disappointed, I just would not return. read more

I haven't enjoy the delicious ribs of Baker's Ribs since I lived in East Texas years ago. I attended a party in Mesquite, TX and decided to stop there on the way home to Dallas. The clerk recommended to me to start off with the small order of ribs, which I agreed to along with some (delicious) dill potato salad. I was SOOOOO VERY SAD when I got home to Dallas and opened up my carton to about 5, fatty pieces of ribs not worth the $12.00 I paid for them. Heating them up was a disaster and I'm finished with Baker's Ribs going forward. I want my money back and shame on them for selling me the junk they put in my carton; it reminded me of fat-back that an old lady might add to a pot of beans for a more "fat flavor". I wanted ribs and only ribs. I was and I am so disappointed and doubt I'll go back. Suggestion for new customers: check your carton before you accept and before you pay for it. SHAME on Baker's Ribs! read more

Mediocre BBQ... My wife and I wanted something more "hole in the wall" and decided to try this place over the chains like Dickeys and Spring Creek. The vibe and decor are spot on for that, everything else not so much. Prices were tipping towards high, and the brisket was more like dry pot roast in terms if flavor. I asked for some burnt ends like I do at every BBQ place I wind up in. The kid they had slicing, either ignored what the girl taking orders said, or has no idea what burnt ends are. The bark on the brisket lacked flavor/seasoning, and the smoke ring was MINIMAL. The ribs were a tad better but again - pricing here is not reflective if the quality you get. The sides.... Oh boy.. The Cole slaw looked like it had potential to save the day, but when you bite into it, the taste was more like when your internet date shows up and you realize that was a 20 yr old photo theyd been using.. The scalloped potatoes looked like theyd been out most of the day and the server dishing up sides even steered us clear of them under her breath. The mac and cheese was commercial food service quality - nothing to write home about.. Pies were ok too. Crust was dry and filling was good but didnt taste like it was a fresh pie. Overall there's way better options for the money within a few minutes drive of here. Id suggest exploring them first. read more

This barbecue is not only horrible. I visited the Galloway Bakers tonight and was literally cheated out of my food and money! I ordered a 3 meat plate that cost $13.95. I ordered 3 meats double ribs and sausage & was charged $1 extra for the double ribs. To only get 4 baby ribs and about 8 sliced sausages. My Niece ordered a child's rib plate before me and got 3 ribs for under $10. I called another location and asked how many ribs comes on a meat plate and they stated 3. ‍ I guess I was just the wrong color this night‍, and that is why I feel that I received the overcharge and unequal distribution of food. Oh and did I mention that the customer service sucked. I'll Never Give this Place another penny!!! read more

If you want a hardy Texas BBQ meal, this is the place! A breeze for a visit at lunch became service is so fast and easy! Pulled pork on a baked potato is my favorite! Sweet rolls 'n corn. Tea forever as the refills keep on coming! Remember to get your pie before you leave and don't be stingy, take some back to the office crew! Great meal! read more

Ordered this today for lunch on GrubHub order to sloppy Joe with a baked potato for extra cost add it in the notes exactly what I wanted my GrubHub order was delivered $25 later with no baked potato no meat on my sloppy Joe, biggest waste of money and when I called they just basically said oh OK! Terrible customer service and food was not what I ordered read more

We are always greeted with a smile and friendly welcome. The sliced brisket plate is amazing!

I actually came here 2 times in one day bc it was that good! Food was on point as well as the service of the staff! Very military friendly too! Hands down my favorite restaurant this trip to TX!! read more

Can't go wrong with bakers .... I'm hooked on the potato salad. My best advice is to dine in... that way you see the selection before making a purchase. Ribs are always a go to clutch meal. Brisket is decent and the sausage is ok. The fried pies are always great never had a bad one. Quick Bbq in a drive thru, but is best if you step inside to see the meat cut to order and your sides. read more

Really great food, friendly staff, and fun dining atmosphere. I always get the 3 meat platter, the wife loves the pulled pork sandwich and free soft serve ice cream. read more

I frequent the Bakers locations. Usually I sit in the bar and order. Today I used the Mesquite location's Drive-thru, and I can't say that I'll return. The service was not welcoming at all. The person over the speaker sounded very angry and it was quite off-putting. I'm not sure what the need for an attitude is, when someone's done nothing to you. But maybe she just had a bad day. The food is really good here. Ask for their spicy bbq sauce. Soooo goooood! read more

this is the worst baker's in dallas. it's not the food. it's the damn teenagers that run the place. it never ceases to amaze me that an owner/manager of a restaurant can feel comfortable staffing all teenagers (that care more about gossiping and their phones) at dinner times. is it because you can't afford to hire someone for more than minimum wage because you're not making enough money? you're not making money because you're letting teenagers do what they want! owner/managers have to show up every once in a while to put the fear of god into their employees! ugh. read more

I was here for work, and I stopped by for a quick dinner. Service was prompt and friendly, barbecue was decent and I would definitely go back. read more

I was in Dallas (Mesquite) for a graduation and was running late but had researched and wanted some Texas BBQ while we were in town. We decided on Baker's Ribs and we were so glad that this was not a sit down restaurant!! You order at the counter and it is prepared quickly for you. I got the pulled pork sandwich with pasta salad and macaroni & cheese. Husband got a rib plate with potato salad. The mac & cheese was really good. Their BBQ sauce also was good and you got a whole bottle at your table. The BBQ sauce was also served warm. Good decor. Nice casual restaurant for a quick bite. Free vanilla soft serve ice cream cones in the dining room. read more

I am ready to drive 1 hour just to have a stuffed baked potato. The BQ stuffed tater is a great buy. .First you get a potato as Big as TeXas. The meat is piled high.You have a choice of sour cream, cheese, extra butter. Ask for a to go box, you cannot finish this potato on steroids. I always cheat with dessert. Here is my secret.....get self serve root beer, sneak over to the free ice cream, and make a root beer float. I love this place. They put other so called BQ places to shame. read more

Me and my mom were in the area and decided to stop in, we had never been here before. from the moment we walked in i liked it. The guy at the counter greeted you and was very friendly and helpful. The food looked soo good. me and mom got plates with 2 meats and 2 sides. The food was soo good the only thing i didnt really enjoy was the potato salad but i guess everyone makes it different. The meat was soo good and i got mac n cheese it was delicious. I also liked the way the place was decorated with a country theme and counrty music playing,i loved it. We had lots of food left over so we took it to go. after that we stopped at my sisters house and we offered her some of our food and she really enjoyed it also. great place i loved it and did i mention they have a drive thru? well they do which is very convenient cant wait to stop in again. read more

Now, their sides leave something to be desired but their ribs are on point!! I have never gotten bad ribs here. They are always tender, well seasoned and smokey. Their pulled pork sandwich is also very tasty as well. read more

Tried most bbq places in Mesquite and this was my favorite. Consistent pink on the inside and flavor on the outside.

Thought we'd try this place me and my husband were craving brisket sandwiches but it was not at all what I expected the brisket was dry and the Mac n cheese was bland no flavor don't plan on coming back soon read more

We had Bakers delivered by Door Dash tonight. I couldn't believe how good the brisket, ribs and sides are. Good grief that was amazing!!

Food is awful. Can't find a good BBQ place in Mesquite anymore. Spring Creek BBQ is best but overpriced with lousy service and half the time they are out of baked potatoes.Baker's Ribs doesn't even come close. I've had better BBQ at the local truckstop. read more

It's not what it use to be. The food use to be perfect. I don't know if it's the new employees or what. The potato salad was a little runny and what happened to the chunky potatoes in it? Meat was barely warm. When I was almost done with my brisket I found a piece of hair on. The workers don't cover there beards. read more

We ordered the holiday meal deal to make things easy for the holidays. Raul took our order about a week prior to Christmas. He seemed very distracted and I had to repeat my order 4 times. My wife called the day before our order was to be filled to confirm. Raul said he could not find the order and when he did he was still confused. We arrived to pick up our order at the specified time and it was not ready. When they presented it to us, it was wrong. They gave us ham and not turkey! Raul then argued with us and then told us it was not his fault. Our turkey was not ready and we settled for ribs. So much for making things easy for the holidays. read more

Pretty good food! The turkey was good, place seemed clean. Not cartwheel back flip amazing, but good bbq to satisfy the crave.

It deserves just a one half star. I ordered a beef plate. By the time I got home (which was 5 minutes away), my food was COLD. ALL OF IT. The slice beef was tough, sausage was too spicy and sides were cold. Only thing this restaurant is good for are their stuffed potatoes. Everything else is not worth it. read more

Great smokey taste with lots of specials. Great price. Love the free ice cream cone for dessert.

Best Ribs in town! Our family visits a couple of times a year and their first dinner request is always Bakers ribs. Good Service and great food. read more

Far too expensive for sub par bbq. We were traveling and wanted to try something other than a chain restaurant...and we picked the wrong one. My husband took our kids through the line and told the employees it was our first time eating here, and they neglected to tell him about the $4.95 kids plates and instead directed our 9 and 12 year old to the $10.95 plate and rushed them through the line. The employees kept asking my kids what they wanted and piling it on their plates without even consulting us (the parents) even though I was trying to see what meal they were getting. Our bill for two adults and two children ended up being $52. The food itself was mediocre at best, the brisket was incredibly fatty yet tasteless, the mashed potatoes tasted fake, and the toast was burnt. Mothers of little ones, there's no changing table and the floor is too nasty to even lay down a changing pad (no judgement we've all done it in a pinch). Baker's Ribs ownership, I've copied and pasted a link to a commercial changing table. I'm fairly certain that you could sell a couple family meals and have more than enough to pay for it. http://www.ameraproducts.com/safetycraft-baby-changing-station-100-EHSC.htm?AdID=16760cm00cm01532&gclid=Cj0KEQiAl5u2BRC6yszC1_75v5wBEiQAD-hdz5KREFWS0fXyhosNg4rdycvk_f72A_5sG-6rNkuk3TgaAtXs8P8HAQ read more

The price is alot for what you get meats usually good sometimes its dry last time we got it to go the sides where cold or old,when its fresh its good read more

We just had our third annual summer party with catering from Bakers Mesquite. It's become an expected tradition for our guests. The ribs are a crowd pleaser and the brisket and chicken never fail. What we also appreciate is they bring everything ready to go (warmer, "silverware", napkins, sauces, etc). It couldn't be easier. read more

The coconut fried pie is to die for! The brisket is awesome, and don't get me going on the potato salad or scalloped potatoes!

I ate at this location today, I had read about the Name in various magazines. I ate the pork ribs, they where very dry, like they had been sitting around for a long time. There was no smokey flavor. It reminded me of being in a fast food restaurant. It was run by young kids, that didn't want to be there. I ride motorcycles with many people and I will remember to tell them don't waste your time or money. read more
