The bbq is pretty good, but I think this restaurant has a few kinks to work out. It's very chaotic when ordering. We've been twice, and both times the food line was run by 5-6 teenagers. They seem to step over each other and it's very unorganized. They are mostly very nice, but is chaos. I feel like an adult or supervisor needs to be there to help keep things running more smoothly. The brisket egg rolls are very good and so is the fried okra. We're excited to have a small, local bbq restaurant, but there is definitely room for improvement. read more

We ordered grub hub today for lunch and were impressed! The ribs fell off the bone as we picked it up, and I accidentally bit into the bone because it was cooked so well. The BBQ sauce was delicious and flavorful. We also got the turkey and some brisket on potatoes. They were delicious! I want to try dessert next time, but for now, this was a great first experience! We will definitely be back. read more

Holy egg rolls... If I could just eat one thing for the rest of my life, I think the brisket egg rolls are the new winner! The dipping sauce is a perfect match of spicy and sweet. Absolutely delicious! The three meat plate is a steal at $12. Come with 3/4 lb of meat and 3 sides; so....much...food! I've eaten here a couple times now. The brisket is always so moist and juicy with the perfect amount of bark. The jalepeno sausage has got a good kick and is very good. The ribs are HUGE, thick, and juicy. Love them. The mac is great as well as the smoky beans. My criticism, and stretching here, would be the bread. I'm not a fan of just a plain slice of white bread. At least put some butter on it and toast it a bit. But again, that's the only negative I can think of. Bold BBQ is my new favorite goto BBQ joint! read more

Came in this evening and to my surprise was great food. My husband and I shared 3 meat plate and 3 sides. Turkey, ham and brisket was our meats and salad, okra and smoked beans. Brisket was tender and think cut. Turkey wasn't too much of a smoke taste and ham I always love. But the prize item the smoked beans. These are a must when you go. Bbq sauce was there regular or spicy which was not too spicy in my opinion We happen to be the only patrons there at the time but didn't mind. I recommend this spot in downtown if you're looking for some bbq. Wish I had my Phone for photos but left in car. Properly won't make That mistake again. Go visit Bold BBQ. read more

Loved it! Will be back!! I had a Groupon for this place, because I saw it had good reviews. Went to try it yesterday, not really expecting much. Boy, was I surprised at how amazingly delicious their food is! Not only is the BBQ top notch, but the blue cheese cole slaw is a must try, as well as the unique potato salad! I need to find a recipe for it. It's now my top favorite potato salad. I think it's a German style. It's made with red potatoes. I drove from an hour away to get here and I'd do it everyday if I could afford it. Highly recommended! read more

Had the Spicy Swine and pickles. Hit the spot. Definitely worth giving them a try. Will go back to try other options.

When I am in Wylie this is a regular stop. Very rustic and casual. Specials make it really attractive. Parking can be an issue since it is on Ballard. Service is quick and place is clean. Food is good. I have had better but I have also spent a lot more. For what you get I recommend read more

Tried this place out today and loved it! The brisket was amazing and so was the fried okra. The BBQ sauce they have on the table is absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the spicy one. Also got the sausage platter and it was sooooo good. Finished the meal off with a cold sweet tea and it was some of the best I have tasted. Glad the location is awesome as well as their is tons of shopping and stores close by. The staff was very friendly and service was quick! read more

I go for the Friday spud special... "I" like it, but partner said the meat was "meh." lol Will go back (and have) but, didn't like their fried apple "eggroll?" dessert thing... will try another dessert though. read more

Hey Adam, I just missed you last night. We came in for some to-go for the family as you were walking out the back door. And I have to say....it was about 30 minutes until you closed (when you would normally expect limited selection and meat that had been "out for a while" and dry)....but that's NOT what we got! Ham...turkey breast...ribs...brisket....all moist'n tender! Glad you are here! read more

My wife and I had 2 pull pork sandwiches yesterday. They were delicious! Lots and lots of meat. We will definitely return for the smoke flavor and great taste. Can't beat a sandwich, chips, and drink for $10. One thing that is very disappointing is the choice of soft drinks. I tasted the "real lemonade " and poured it out. The "sprite" was not good either. The root beer was fair. Even though it comes with the special I will pass on the drinks. One other thing is I would feel much more comfortable if the person preparing our food had been wearing a mask. read more

This is really a great establishment. It has an expansive menu. Really great specials every day. Very friendly staff. And most of all, damn good barbecue. Thank you for doing business the right way. read more

My husband and I tried this place last Friday night and we were not impressed. He loves bbq so he was excited to try this place. We were sadly disappointed. I'll say right up front I am not a fan of bbq sauce or smoke but my husband is so that's why we went. I ordered the slim baked potato and turkey. What they delivered was a loaded baked potato with baked beans and diced turkey on it. Did I mention I don't like baked beans? I took 1 bite and it was disgusting. I went back to the counter and told them it wasn't what I ordered. Then they didn't even know what was on the slim potato on their menu which is not very extensive. It's only butter, sour cream, cheese and chives. Not difficult people. The 1 bite of turkey I had was soooooo smokey that I told them I didn't even want the turkey, just the potato. When I finally got it the potato was ok. My husband ordered brisket, sausage, fried okra and baked beans, all of which he normally loves. Here, not so much. He liked the sausage but the brisket was so fatty and had way too much smoke in it even for him. He also didn't like the beans or the fried okra. He rated it well below Dickeys. He barely ate half his food, threw the rest at away and then felt sick the rest of the night. We won't be back. Too bad. We are always excited to have new businesses in our little downtown. read more

A True Gem Bold has some of the best BBQ this self professed BBQ snob has had! The "marbled" brisket is superb. The sausage is nice, the turkey moist, pulled pork very good and sides well crafted. I HIGHLY recommend the Brisket Eggroll. The rub is a Texas standard of Salt and Pepper, and simply good smoke. The soda found is real cane sugar soda, which is refreshing. The Banana pudding is a great touch as well. Do NOT miss this diamond in the rough of downtown Wylie. There are several BBQ joints nearby and I have tried them all and this is the best BARNONE. I have been there several times so I have a decent sample size. The food is top notch and the people are great. If you like crappy chain BBQ, this isn't for you. If you don't know what good BBQ is and like Lloyd's out a bucket from Wal-Mart then don't bother because this is beyond your pallet. If you like smoked meat done well, then by all means please try this place. I read more

This is my second time here and I love it. I have to compliment the staff here. They are all so nice and they really seem to try and go out of their way for the customers. Anyhow, the first time we stuck with classic brisket, beans and potato salad. It was all delicious! This time I brought my son for a late lunch. I wasn't very hungry so I decided to just order the brisket egg rolls I heard so much about. They are amazing!!! I might be obsessed. read more

Bold BBQ Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Wylie, Texas

IMO, Rockwall Is incredibly shy of decent bbq joints. Decided to drive to Wylie to try this place for lunch. Glad we did! Walked in and noticed that today's special was 1/2 price ribs (pork). We ordered a full rack and a side of blue cheese cole slaw. Ribs were fantastic and, literally, falling off the bone. Never had blue cheese coke slaw but, that won't be my last time. Sauces (reg and spicy) were good. They have daily specials which change monthly. Today could have possibly been the last day for the ribs special. So, don't go there expecting that next week. Even though they are seriously considering extending another month. This is a family run business and they appear to cater to families. Kids from other tables were on a scavenger hunt for hidden action figures around the restaurant. Apparently, if they find all 18(?) figures, they receive a scoop of ice cream. Chatted with the owners and they were incredibly nice folks. We will definitely be back. read more

I did not feel any wow on any of the food our group of four tried. Maybe it was an off night, but the brisket was horrible.

Bold is delicious and the people are great!! The baked potatoes with brisket are my favorite. Best BBQ in Wylie!

Wow, I,was,very,surprised,by the great food and selection for their Saturday brunch buffet. Eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and awesome gravy, smoked chicken wings and more. I strongly encourage everyone to experience their buffet. We will definitely be back! read more

I went this past Wednesday night with my son and was very disappointed! We knew when we walked in that we were in trouble. 6:00 PM in downtown Wylie and only one other customer was there. A grand total of four came and picked up in the hour we were there, meanwhile next door cafe was packed. Oh, and the place didn't even smell of bbq! It was strange. I'm used to being slapped in the face with smoke/bbq when I walk into a joint, and often can smell it on my clothes even after washing. The brisket egg rolls were strange. I ate maybe 1/2 of one to try to figure it out. The rest went into the trash. The young woman at the counter told me the cheese was goat cheese. Note to owner: goat cheese does not fry well! Try Gouda, queso fresco, or even jack. It made for an unpalatable experience and an odd, gummy texture. The grilled cheese with brisket was pretty decent, though it needed more sauce (maybe pickles/onions). I added a healthy amount of bbq sauce to make it less dry. Btw, the meat was juicy and yummy on its own. The bread, cheese, pan frying, and lack of sauce made it dry. My son got the three meat sandwich and enjoyed the meats. He did not like the bbq sauce at all. He had the spicy one (he loves spicy) and said it tasted rancid. The condiment area needed attention. The onions were almost dehydrated and there were hardly any pickles. The okra was yummy and the Mac n cheese was uninspired. I liked the soda selection and the sweet tea had just the right amount of sweetness. Last comment: When I told you that I wasn't happy with the egg rolls, you probably should have offered to exchange it out. If you want to build the clientele, you should make sure your customer leaves happy. In fact, if you had said "I'm sorry you didn't like the egg rolls. Would you like to try something else in its place?" I would probably try your establishment again. But it came off to me as you didn't value my opinion/experience, and in that case, I don't feel like I should give you my business. read more

My husband recently got hired at the Wylie Fire Department, so we decided to get Acquainted with the town. We stopped in for dinner last night, it was pretty good. My husband got the bbq sammich meal, I got the sammich meal, and my daughter got the kids cheeseburger. We got a side of fried pickles also. The total came out to $40 which was more than I really wanted to pay, but it was good food i will say that. There are not many places that can fry up some good fried pickles like we do in the south ( and for y'all In Texas- NO this is NOT the south!) great ambiance and the best music playing- 90s country! Taped my foot right along with the music as my taste buds leaped for joy! read more

These folks did catering for years before opening this BBQ Bistro in downtown Wylie. The food is good, the prices are reasonable, and the help is friendly. What more could you want from a BBQ place. read more

Great local bbq restaurant. Everything was good. They have some unique items on their menu-- like brisket eggrolls-- and they were surprisingly delicious. Loved the fried okra. Will definitely be back. read more

This place was just OK. We ordered to go, and by the time I got home it was a little cold. We ordered three meat platter of brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. The sausage was definitely the best and the pulled pork was not very good. It was very fatty and had a lot of gristle. Sorry but if you are going to do BBQ in Texas, you gotta be good. If you are in Wylie area, make the drive over to Sachse for Community instead. read more

Got take out of ham and brisket along with their cheesey potatoes and it was delicious! Peach cobbler was good as well!

Loved the brisket and the stuffed jalapeños. This location is very close to my house so very convenient and friendly efficient service.

It's been two days. You won't forget this place. They over smoke everything and microwave it. This business does not care about bbq. Wanted to love you, but no read more

best bbq in the area ! thanks for opening this place in Wylie , we needed it !!! Best Brisket ,just amazing quality smoked beef. Ribs are beyond great and the sides are a bonus ! read more

Was shopping in downtown Wylie from the Jewerly store I saw grand opening. I walked across the street "into heaven" the place was cozy, the staff friendly. After a few minutes I took home some food. The brisket egg rolls are to die for. I know a brisket egg roll but the meat is just wound in the egg roll deep fried and served. Oh my god I was in heaven so much I went back that night to have my daughter and grandson try the food. Better than typical chicken places opening everywhere. One thing I would do to help when it starts to catch on. Get table numbers for orders of items that you wait on. Without them the girl servers were kind of spinning read more

Saw a post on social media about this restaurant and thought we would give it a try. Well the food was crazy good and the staff was even better. We had no issues getting a seat and was invited to set at a table with some others. All in all had a great time and left full to the brim. Price was also good. read more

A little dry no cap. Decent and gets the job done though. I have nothing else to say but this needs to be 85 characters to post.

I have traveled all over TX and the US. It's fair to say I've had my fair share of BBQ. This spot is in the top 5 I have had EVER. What a pleasure to eat here. Everything was perfect and my favorite side was the cheezy potatoes. Can't wait to my next visit to the area so I can eat here again. read more

The brisket egg rolls are my go to. Great bbq. We have had the sausage, brisket, ribs, it's all good. Great fresh sides as well. We frequently go here. read more

Smelled good when I walked in and I was excited to get a sandwich and fried okra to go. My daughter was finishing up at the hair place a few doors down, so I didn't have time to sit and eat. I ordered my sandwich and fried okra, they immediately made the sandwich and put it in a to go container....where it sat on the counter for the next 23 minutes while I ( not so patiently) waited for the fried Okra. At minute 24 I told them to give my money back and left without any food!!! Food looks good, but the 10-15 kids they have working behind the counter and in the kitchen have absolutely NO clue what they are doing!! They need to get the kids trained ASAP or they won't stay in business long. read more

I don't recommend this place for anyone. We didn't get anything we ordered. It took over a hr to get our food. Poor planning. This business is not slow because people don't go it's because they don't know how to successfully serve customers! They ran out of everything and even though they knew they were running out they continued to take customers orders and money but did not info anyone of this until after they had waited at least 45 mins. read more

Bold BBQ Pit - Ham sandwich. Mostly fat and the bun was awful - Barbeque Near Me - Wylie, Texas

I've eaten Bold BBQ on several occasions. This is easily the best BBQ you'll find for miles around. Why anyone would opt for generic, bland, chain restaurant BBQ in Texas is beyond me when great local businesses like this are around. Bold BBQ has catered several work events for me as well as my own wedding. They are always top notch and very popular with everyone who has the privilege of eating their food. My personal favorites are the brisket and pulled pork. Good BBQ doesn't need sauce but their sauce is to die for! Don't forget their side dishes either...their potato salad is not like anything you've had before and their Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. Bold BBQ will always have my vote for best BBQ in the Dallas metroplex and I will always use them for my catering needs and very soon...restaurant!!! read more
