    Spoke to Julian yesterday who indicated "Well I just can't give you your money back like that," asking if I would send him an email to describe my experience. I did, along with the pictures that I attempted to share here. No word. It's almost as if he could not be bothered. I will NEVER patronize this establishment again.

    Messy Smoked Wings
    Sunnynva H.

    Kind people but crappy service. Burnt ends Nachos were delicious! And the serving was HUGE! 3-4 people could enjoy! Wings did not get eaten and we never leave a wing behind. Cool atmosphere! Strange lighting as folks are really into taking photos everywhere they go.

    mmmmmmmmmm fries, and queso! No

    First time to Bone Daddy's, but it will not be our last! Hey Fellow Foodies, why hasn't someone taken me to Bone Daddy's before now? I will admit I've seen it many times but for some unknown reason I had not stopped by until now. To say the decor is eclectic, is down playing the eclectic'ness of this place. They had a car grill molded into the garden brick wall. And shoes filled with glitter stuck to the wall, right beside a telephone post. I could hardly control my ADHD.......I was in overdrive. I was like I would like a beer and suddenly thought "Squirrel". After taking in the sights we placed an order of their Hoot and Hooty's Queso (rich melted cheeses, spices and a mound of pulled brisket) with chips. I think I could have sat they all afternoon and a entire meal from that alone......but you know we didn't. We had more: we had to try the BBQ Platter with prime sliced brisket and peppered turkey with fries, fried okra, Mac-n-cheese and potato salad, Smokehouse salad with burnt ends, smoked bacon with chopped tomatoes, fresh greens, cheese and jalapeño dressing AND the Bone Daddy's original Barbecue Sauce. As you can see from the pictures below we were more that pleased with our FIRST experience at Bone Daddy's., and while we were too full to do anything after we left the restaurant but go home and rub our bellies until we fell asleep, I will say the following morning we were already discussing what we would try on our next visit. Four Stars to Bone Daddy's in Arlington Happy Eat'n my Foodie Friends! We may have had a beverage

    Argarita was the bar keep Tuesday Night, not crowded Blue Moon and a Shiner started off with TailPipes, basically BBQ in an eggroll Split a salad Split a full rack of ribs fries and green beans Okay. You can't go wrong with this place, we sat at the bar and enjoyed ourselves. Now did we both get full, yes we did The beer kept rolling and the conversations were great at the bar. Cool people there. But I recommend going there again. Absolutely! I would recommend you visit and enjoy yourself at the bar. Tell him we said hi

    2 meats Platter with brisket and bone in chicken

    Went for a late dinner and trying something new. Service was great. The hostess and our server Fatima were really nice. Always checking to make sure we were ok and had what we needed. Our food was wonderfully seasoned and full of flavor. Not sure if I loved the chicken or the brisket more! I have to go back to try the beer can chicken and burnt ends next! The beer is ice cold - which is great. I'm ready to go back!

    Pod. Brisket sandwich.

    I really nice restaurant. I enjoyed the ambience and the friendly service, especially at the bar. Highly recommended during the weekday. Only suggestion would be to ensure proper staffing for a holiday. Otherwise, I loved it!

    There was so much flavor on this plate!! Burnt Ends Tostada with skillet beans & queso... it's was AMAZING!! A lot of food and a must try!!

    Have not been to Bone Daddy's in prob 10 yrs. They closed the one in Austin and we were in Arlington for a BB game and stumbled upon this one.... It was so damn good!! I wish I could have taken my leftovers all the way back to Austin... yes we all loved and raved about the food!

    Burnt Ends
    Brenna H.

    Overall I would describe this as a middle of the road chain barbecue place. I went with my coworkers for lunch and it was just okay. Our waitress was fantastic, hate that I didn't notate her name because I always like to recognize the really good ones but the service was great. It was really mostly the food that was underwhelming. The potato salad wasn't that good and the burnt ends were okay but not my favorite. The okra was really good though. All in all it wasn't anything to write home about but it was fine for lunch.

    DiAndra H.

    I was extremely disappointed in the food. The ribs were very tuff,potato salad "bland" , mashed potatoes were blended a little too long,the fried okra was very good. Some switched to pulled pork, which was okay. The waitress was extremely polite, helpful and gave us a few laughs.

    Smokehouse Salad
    Kentereian T.

    Smoke house salad is great with the burnt ends. I often add an extra side of the burnt ends.

    I have been coming to this restaurant since I moved here in 2011 There are so many great restaurant choices in this area and yes, this is still the go-to! The brisket queso and chips are always is delicious. I've had the salads, the three meats, the chicken fried chicken..everything on the menu and it's all always good. Don't get me started on the max and cheese and green beans...ugh! Sooo effin good! The servers are more times than not very friendly and helpful. Even on the rare occasion a waitress is rude or moody it doesn't matter lol cuz the food is always on point and that's what matters. I will forever dine here

    Love the Jug and the Drink!
    Parker G.

    Bone Daddy's looks like a great place to have a fun time with family and/or friends! I'd love to see what the atmosphere here would be like when things get more back to normal. The interior is eclectic and fun. It was a little quiet inside when I went, presumably because of the coronavirus. I definitely want to go back again when things are back to normal and experience it again. As for the experience I had there, it was great! I thought the food was delicious, while the drinks were cheap, large, and tasty! We all got some of the burgers, and I thought that mine tasted incredible. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, very generously sized that filled me up, and a good amount of toppings that doesn't over-power it but isn't too little either. Just the right amount for all of it, which I always love! There were a ton of great drink options for mules and margaritas, all very cheap and very large! This is always another huge plus for me! The service was also very friendly and quick. They were all very attentive, helpful, and the food was out in no time at all. I love the interior atmosphere and decor, the servers, the food, and I look forward to coming back again in the future. It looks like it's really fun when it's crowded!

    This is a hidden gem and I am so glad to have found my way here due to a suggestion from a bestie…read more The atmosphere is fun but relaxed with multiple screens, and the food and drinks and R&B are ON POINT. We had lemon pepper wings, hot wings and loaded fries but the catfish ( NOT Swai) looked incredible. Will definitely be back! They open at 12 so come and get your lunch on. If you feel more drinky, Happy Hour is Wed-Fri feat. $5 small plates, $5 Crown and Down, and drink specials. Thursday night is ladies' night with a DJ and free shots for the girlies!

    Let's just get into it…read more Our server took our order and when I asked for the catfish she asked if I wanted hush puppies or toast. But she did not disclose there will be a up charge... so not sure why she asked me options that weren't included in the combo I ordered. So I had that retinal charge on the check. They have auto gratuity on all checks. Food was good for fried food. My husband enjoyed his daiquiri but it was really sweet. The atmosphere was not what I expected pretty loud for such a small spot, but my husband enjoyed the music. So I would put this almost as a lounge category rather than a traditional sports bar. Overall I don't think the amount of food was appropriate for the price. Especially the fact that those mozzarella sticks were $10 and only included 4 thats $2.50 a piece. It just wasn't my vibe, but it wasn't bad overall

There's not a bad seat in the house, where you can't see what's going in so definitely a plus. Food was okay. They hit the mark on their appetizers! We all enjoyed the waffle cheese fries, mozzarella logs, & boudin balls. My friends had the lemon butter chicken, both said the flavor was good but that the chicken was a bit dry, they did enjoy the cheese corn grits. Pasta alfredeaux, my friend thought it could use more seasoning. I had the cajundilla, it's a heavy entree. There's a lot of flavors in there but they needed more than just onions to bring some freshness to it. I did enjoy the red beans & rice that they came with. Seemed like the sides were better than the main part of each entrée.

We asked for the check, and was told there was a "corporate situation" where we had to leave a review to receive the bill. I couldn't believe it, so I repeated, "we have to leave a review just to get the bill???" The answer was yes. Our bill was being held hostage. We were stunned as our waiter told us we'd "get points for reviewing" (not restaurant points btw, these are Google points) and pressured us to scan the QR code and stood there watching to make sure we had put 5 stars on everything. When he saw I was hesitant to do so, he said just one of us could do the review to get the bill. This is unbelievable business practice and extremely uncomfortable. For this reason alone, I cannot recommend this establishment and will not be returning.

Our company provided each guest with three drink tickets, and many attendees -- including ourselves -- happily purchased additional drinks beyond that. Unfortunately, our experience with most of the bartenders was disappointing. We visited two different bar stations, and several bartenders came across as rude or uninterested, almost as if serving guests was an inconvenience. This stood out especially since the event was a large private rental, and guests were continuing to spend money throughout the evening. That said, one bartender truly made a positive impression -- Analilia. She was friendly, welcoming, and had an amazing attitude that completely changed the experience at her bar. She provided the level of service you would expect at a venue of this caliber. Despite the inconsistent service, we still enjoyed the event overall thanks to the atmosphere, food, and entertainment. I hope management recognizes team members like Analilia and works to ensure a more consistently positive guest experience across all bar stations in the future.

Mind you, we came to Texas Live to see Mexico vs S Korea, USA vs AUS, USA vs HERZ, and were not charged. Seriously? If you're going to change your policy and charge people just to enter your venue to eat and watch a game, the least you can do is make that crystal clear before people spend money on parking. It was not on their website so this is UNACCEPTABLE! AND why just the Mexico games? I'd say that was predatory at the least. If it was solely about safety, let who arrives be served, but you took advantage and cost us $ AND inconvenience. DO BETTER!
