Great BBQ ... all the time! It's an excellent family-owned BBQ restaurant located in downtown Wylie! There's always a welcome hello at the door, and they are happy to answer your questions. Be sure and check out their daily "specials" (posted), enticing you to try something NEW! It's not fancy inside, but it is clean, nostalgic, welcoming, and a little Texas for sure. It's a great place to pop in for lunch or even takeout for a party of any size! Our family LOVED it! The food is fresh, and served HOT! This time, we stopped in for lunch: the lean BBQ Brisket, potato salad, smoked beans, and THE BEST OKRA I've had in years! They don't make the okra ahead (like many places do), where it comes out soggy, they serve it fresh, crispy, and oh so good! It was ALL so delicious! There's a little condiment bar (serve yourself), and they bring your order to you. #Fresh #CookedJustRight #DownhomeAtmosphere #FamilyOwned #BestBBQ BOLD BBQ ... Getcha some!

Visited from Sachse for the first time and greatly enjoyed our experience. The interior is quaint and highly decorated, even some fun I Spy activities for kids to spot certain things around the restaurant! My husband enjoyed the turkey and sausage, especially loving the unique bbq sauce. The fried okra was great, the Mac n cheese was just ok. I enjoyed the brisket egg rolls which were one of the most delicious things I've ever had! We also enjoyed the apple pie bites. The owner came out from the back and chatted with a few of the folks, very friendly! Can't wait to have those eggrolls again! read more

Wish i could show pictures but it was too good. All gone in a flash. 2 meat plate (sliced brisket) with green beans and smoked beans. Checked every box I care about. Beautiful smoke ring and smoky flavor. Pull apart excellent. I ordered the lean but usually prefer less lean cut. My choice. We also got a chopped baby Barbecue sandwich with the alternative sauce (not home made). One of us prefers the Bold barbecue sauce and the other prefers the alternative sauce. Anyway the sandwich was delicious. Highlight was the banana pudding desert. OMG! Like Grandmas. I'm a big fan. **** RECOMMENDED **** read more

Food was excellent! The service was quick and polite. The ambiance is perfect for a BBQ place and the live music was excellent.

Yummy food and the live music was a plus! My hubby got the brisket salad - generous size with crisp romaine and all the fixins. I got the Kalua Burger (?). It had pineapple, pulled pork, bacon, and a beef patty. Wowza! Delicious. The apple cobbler bites didn't disappoint and the bill was a pleasant surprise - under $30. Definitely will visit here again and bring friends. read more

When I visit the Herman Marshall bar across the street or the Landon Winery, I usually order delivery from here. Their delivery service is always fast and reliable. Haven't been inside yet to dine in though. The food is always great every time. I have tried the sammiches and the quesadillas, as well as the apple cobbler bites for dessert. Never greasy and always flavorful. Seen the baked potato and the loaded nachos and those looked yummy too. read more

Was delicious! We decided to give it another try- we had been here right after they opened and didn't have the best experience. We're trying to support all our local businesses as much as we can during this difficult time so we gave it another shot! It was really good! Just happened to catch the ribs for half price and they didn't disappoint!!! read more

I don't know how anyone can give this place less than five stars. The food is amazing. The service is amazing. We were here for a wedding and frankly rye wait for the food at the wedding was too much. So my cousin and my nephews decided let's do barbecue. It was so good we came back the next day. What did we eat? Everything. Make sure to get the cobblers if you can too. They run out of some things because... It's so dang good. read more

Love this cute little Wylie based BBQ place! As members of Landon we typically pop in here to grab some grub to pair with our wine and it never disappoints. The fiancé who's from North Carolina loves the pulled pork, it's almost always the Big Bold Spud with chicken for me. The fried okra with jalapeño ranch - a must! They sell beer, wine and have tons of great sides as well as daily lunch and dinner specials. If your ever in Downtown Wylie EAT HERE and if you like spicy there spicy BBQ is one of the best in Texas. read more

This is a great BBQ place family owned and i always feel important and they care about my business . I don't feel like it is the best in Wylie but it does stand and for sure the second Best. read more

Went down to downtown Wylie to check out some cute little local shops. We stopped by Bold BBQ Pit. We were drawn by the "rated best bbq in Wylie". For an appetizer, we ordered 2 stuffed jalapeños. The star of the show! It wasn't healthy, but it wa delicious! My fiancé and I ordered the meat platter to share. It is enough for the two of us. The Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious! My favorite were the dry rubbed wings! The BBQ sauces (regular and hot) were both delicious! Everything is made in house and owned locally. read more

Bold BBQ Pit - Carnivore Platter (enough for 2 people) and a side of Mac and Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Wylie, Texas

Your typical Texas bbq place. Brisket was juicy but needed a bit of salt in my opinion. It was tender and good with the bbq sauce. Sides are mediocre, nothing special. The wings are good - crispy, juicy, well seasoned. Casual, family vibes. Food came out fairly quickly after we ordered - given we went before the lunch rush started. read more

We ordered a regular family pack, a meatloaf special & a gallon of sweet tea! Everything was delicious and we'd definitely be back, service was prompt and friendly! read more

Bold BBQ Pit - Regular family pack with smoked turkey, brisket, mac and cheese, smoked beans, fried okra & meatloaf! - Barbeque Near Me - Wylie, Texas

Some solid bbq here. Is it the best I've had in Texas? Nope, but it is quite good and I'd definitely return. The stuffed jalapeños are delicious, and my favorite side is definitely the max & cheese. All of the meat was equally good in my opinion, though the wings were probably my favorite if I had to pick. We came around dinner time on a weekday and the place was less than half full, so it was easy and painless to order and find a table, and the food came out quickly. Service was friendly and helpful. The sauces, as expected, are also very good. I'll likely be coming back! read more

Good people! Good food! Absolutely love the brisket egg rolls, and I get both sauces... The ranch and the mango habanero! Carnivore plate was loaded with lots of meat. Plenty to share. Hubby loves the breakfast tacos. Check out their daily specials!!! read more

Many options for a bbq place! We often order to go and eat it across the street at the whiskey place. The bbq is always good and not over smoked. The baked potato is huge and I order it with chopped brisket. It's comes topped with meat, cheese, beans, chives, butter, sour cream. It's a hearty meal especially on a cold winter day. I also ordered some brisket chili for a future meal. So delicious! My husband loves the quesadilla and apple cobbler bites. The restaurant is always clean and sometimes they have live music. The staff is always helpful and friendly. They even wrote on the top of the containers what food was what so it was easy to distribute. Love this place read more

What a great experience. We had so much fun here waiting for our order for friends tonight. My daughter loved the scavenger hunt that filled the time. Y'all were so personable and friendly, thank you. We enjoyed the live music as we waited too! Downtown Wylie sure is something special. We are so glad we ran across the Bold BBQ Pit while there. You delivered on our big order, and our friends loved it! Thank you, we will return! read more

Arrived Thursday, 12:10 pm, for lunch. Place was empty so I was able to walk up and order. Small dining room but has a lot of seats - cool Texas vibe. The lunch special - brisket sandwich - with an egg roll came to $20. The sandwich was so good. I forgot to take a picture cause I just dove in to eat it. I put the blazing hot BBQ sauce on it and it was awesome. Brisket eggroll is very good. Adding the jalapeño ranch is a nice touch too. Eggroll is good with the spicy barbecue sauce. read more

Just not for me at all. I can't recommend. They have a sign outside that says "Voted Best BBQ in Wylie"...I guess Wylie isn't knowN for BBQ. The scavenger hunt for kids it cool...that's about the only positive thing I can say. read more

We have been here several times. My wife likes the Brisket Sandwich. My favorite item is the Brisket Egg Rolls with Habernero Dipping Sauce (my wife likes it too). The sauce is spicy but not too hot and exploding with flavor both hot and sweet, perfectly balanced. Our favorite side dish is the Fried Okra!!! They also have specialty soft drinks with real cane sugar. My go to meal is always the Brisket Egg Rolls and Fried Okra. It's the best!!! read more

Employees very very friendly. Jalapeño appetizer was really good. Brisket egg rolls were good but missing something. Kinda bland. The Mac and cheese really good, but the jalapeño ranch was outstanding. Will definitely venture back. read more

Decent BBQ healthy serving of sliced beef. Not bad cold slaw. Good place to eat if you're shopping downtown Wylie Very busy confusing menu with unnecessary list of junk. Please just give me a simple Texas BBQ plate price with two sides and a sandwich price and a list of sides. Menu was created by someone with ADD Horrible layout so confusing I just gave up and said sliced beef sandwich and a side. Apparently, I'm not the only one while I was sitting there eating I saw two people come in and just stare at the menu with a blank look on their face. Amazing how you can mess up a menu based on brisket turkey and sausage by adding my account of junk that has nothing to do with the Texas barbecue restaurant. I would venture to say that no one orders 80% of the things on their menu. The menu for the customers not for the cooks ego. read more

This place is awesome and I'm mad that we didn't try it sooner! My husband and I shared a three meat plate. We got pulled pork, brisket and jalapeño sausage. All was excellent! Mac & cheese was good, but I absolutely loved the blue cheese slaw (especially on top of my pulled pork!). Both of the sides were pretty good portions too. We also got the fried pickles with ranch and they were amazing and really cheap for how many you get. We couldn't even finish them. I only took a photo of the pickles, and forgot to take photos of everything else because we just dove right in. To top it off, everyone was really friendly and that is important to me. We will definitely be back! read more

Bold BBQ Pit - Fried Pickles with Ranch - Excellent!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Wylie, Texas

My wife, my son, and I visited Bold BBQ a few days ago, for the very first time. The restaurant is located on Ballard St. in "Olde" Downtown Wylie, adjacent to the Ballard Street Cafe. At Bold BBQ one goes through a traditional-style ordering line, gives their order over, takes a number, then takes a seat! Numbers are placed in stands atop tables and as such, one hopes that the very next time a wait staff member emerges from the kitchen area with a tray, that it will be his or her number that is being sought out by said member. In our case, I am sad to report, this took FOREVER! Honestly, I think we were pushing 30 minutes! Suffice to say we were gnawing at one another's fingers by the time our food arrived. Anyhoo, of the available meat fare, we collectively ordered Sliced (Moist) Brisket, Sliced Turkey, Sliced Ham, Ribs (of which type there is only pork spare ribs), Jalapeño Smoked Sausage, and Regular Smoked Sausage. As sides, we collectively ordered Side Salads, Green Beans and Cheesy Potatoes. To drink: Iced Tea and H2O. When our food arrived it was noticeably fresh, the meats and hot sides were hot and the salads were nicely chilled and like I said, fresh! The tea was just about right and as a personal fan of and although not ordered, I did notice the drink fountain had only drinks made with pure cane sugar (versus high fructose corn syrup). I always like seeing that! I mean, if you're gonna drink an unhealthy soda pop, you might as well go with the healthiest of choices. ;) As for the food preparation and flavors... the Brisket was tasty, but not as moist as I would have liked and, it was cut about a half an inch thick (a Clue!) - I presumed in some sort of an effort to keep it from drying out too quickly. I enjoyed it well enough, however, my wife thought it was just meh. She also thought her Sliced Turkey and Sliced Ham were also just meh. I did not taste those. * * My Pork Spare Ribs were cooked perfectly and I would return for to eat a whole mess of them thangs!! They were delicious! And, I am pretty picky when it comes to any BBQ, but especially Pork Ribs! I think the Jalapeño Sausage edged out the Regular Smoked Sausage; both in taste and texture, with the Jalapeño being a tad denser, which I prefer. My son reported the Cheesy Potatoes as something he would definitely order again and our salads, well... they were salads. The tomatoes were somewhat crunchy though. Almost as though they may have been somewhat unripened, but they were reddish and not greenish, so we ate 'em and didn't complain too much! :) The Green Beans ended up being the "Star" of the meal! For it was the Green Beans we suspected that caused our meal to come out so delayed. We know this because: 1) There were Green Beans that were cooked and done, a little darker in color. Annnd, 2) There were Green Beans that were mostly cooked and not so done, and a bit brighter in color... kind of like what one might see on the package of "frozen" Green Beans. Now, I really don't mind frozen Green Beans but if you're gonna serve 'em, they really should be done! And, if you've already taken an order and there aren't enough to fill the order, then politely offer an alternative, but it's sooo not a good business practice to hold up an entire meal for such a period as to allow the cook to get the Green Beans "almost done." Lastly, Texas BBQ 'should' be served in butcher paper or tin trays, or both! Never, EVER on plastic trays. That's almost sacrilegious, but it ain't quite! The bottom line on Bold BBQ is that it's a cute place in a really cute location, with pretty okay BBQ, at pretty okay prices, but it does NOT in any way compete with the likes of the more well known Texas BBQ joints. I would eat here again (I would not order Green Beans!), but my wife would not do either... so says she. If you decide to give Bold BBQ a chance, just go in with the thought of helping to grow a local business that hopefully will improve over time, don't count it as an end-all to Texas BBQ, and focus on the good! Like the sauces... they were good!! Eat well. Be well. Cheers! read more

This is a great place for BBQ food. Prices are very reasonable and food is delicious. They also have great breakfast burritos. This is a must try. Friendly staff as well read more

I don't usually do this but I feel like people need to be warned. Bold BBQ in Wylie TX is horrible. 2 (two) wings and fries was $15. And our fried pickles were soggy and disgusting. I called because I thought there was some mistake. Nope! General Manager (I think Daniel?) could have cared less! Plus I had to pay $1 for a CARRYOUT fee and a $1.75 Convenience fee. I will never go back! DO Better I'd give zero stars if possible read more

Good food and on Main (Ballard) street in Wylie. Service was great. We went for a PTA event.

Our family recently made a visit to this restaurant in the downtown area of Wylie. It has a very rustic atmosphere and funny signs on the walls here and there. There is a fairly extensive menu which includes desserts, such as apple pie bites. We did not have the dessert, however. We ordered a family plate which included brisket, sausage, macaroni and cheese and green beans. It also came with four rolls. It was very delicious and there was enough for another meal. Even after that the sauce was so delicious that we marinated a chicken with it and cooked that so that the delicious sauce would not go to waste. The food was very good and we would definitely visit again. read more

Not very consistent. Hit or miss. Sometimes it's fresh and tasty on other days it's old and not very good.

This small restaurant has very good BBQ and also has entertainment a few days a week. The portions are good and they serve Oak Cliff Real Sugar sodas that are yummy. This is my favorite BBQ place near Wylie. read more

Very unique take on Texas BBQ. While they had the staples, they also blended BBQ with several other food styles. It was a delicious meal. Folksy atmosphere, live music. A great evening in downtown Wylie Texas read more

My husband and I live in Tulsa and we always enjoy checking out a non-chain place when we are out of town. His aunt took us to this restaurant and we really enjoyed it. I got the BBQ grilled cheese sandwich and it was fantastic. So rich and cheesy but not too much. The fried okra was pretty good too. I loved that they let us bring in our own alcohol. That was quite handy! read more

Decided to try this place for lunch. 30 bucks lost, awful lunch Had potato salad, tasted spoiled Baked beans were cold and flavor less Chopped beef sandwich looked great but had zero flavor. Had 2 ribs. Just horrible.. Nice server but Will never return! read more

We stopped in tonight for the first time. They had live music and what a cute place. We love BBQ and are always up to try a new place. Food: ok. The Brisket had a good crust but was under seasoned. The sliced brisket for the sandwich was 4" thick..who came eat that in a sandwich? Burnt Ends were the highlight and the Ribs were cold,no crust and sadly not great. It was grey and spongy. Something must have gone wrong. Service: Outstanding at the checkout. The girl running the register was fantastic, friendly and helpful. When we sat down and when she dropped off our food asked if we wanted pickles and jalapeños we said yes, but never got them. It's Ok though. We'll be back and I hope that the next experience is better otherwise we are going to have to drive 45 minutes for BBQ. read more
