I came out to Dallas for the first time as part of a work trip for my new employer. Before my…read moreflight home, several coworkers suggested I go to Hard Eight, and I'm glad I did! I've never had BBQ this tasty, and it's on another level compared to the places I've gone to back home. I told the gentleman cooking that this was my first time, and he gave me tips on getting smaller portions so I could try more offerings. I'm glad I did because I wanted to focus on the meat! As I worked my way down the line, everyone was helpful with asking if I wanted bread, what deserts were worth trying, and closing the transaction. The workers who clean off the tables are also amazing. I was able to practice my Spanish with them. Thank you Hard Eight BBQ for making me feel welcome. I'll definitely come by again when I'm in town!

I asked the pitmaster for "the center of the point," and he smiled and he delivered perfectly fatty, smoke-kissed slices. What followed was exactly what great barbecue should be--smoke, smoke, smoke. The brisket was incredibly tender with a perfect bark and that clean, oak-driven flavor you expect from authentic Texas BBQ. The sides were just as impressive: the German sausage was flavorful and perfectly smoked, the creamed corn was rich and comforting, and the jalapeño bacon mac & cheese added a delicious kick. The atmosphere is simple and genuine--about 20 tables, service one guest at a time, plastic trays lined with butcher paper, a soda fountain, and country music playing in the background. The bearded pitmasters and spotless environment add to the authentic experience. This isn't a big chain, but rather a locally owned North Texas gem. If you're near DFW and craving true, slow-smoked barbecue, Meat U Anywhere BBQ is absolutely worth the visit.

Contemplating between ribs and brisket, I chose the latter. Between lean and traditional cut, I…read moreagain opted for the latter. Most likely due to the thin slices, the brisket dried out. Great barbecue does not need sauce. I was tempted to drown the brisket in it. First time I enjoyed the sides more than the meats. Initially, I was skeptical of the pinto beans. I would have preferred a more traditional sauce, but the pinto beans was delectable. The fried sides were made to order. As a result, they were fresh and hot when they were served about 10 minutes later. After a so-so meal, I was looking forward for soft serve ice cream. Unlike other restaurants, theirs is only complimentary with a kid's meal. Otherwise, it was 50 cents. Since many diners may not carry change, there should be an option to pay at the register. Ending on a the menu prices are inclusive of gratuity. Unlike other counter-service restaurants, their POS did not prompt for gratuity. Many ask for a tip before any service had been conducted.

We started off with the smoked wings appetizer which was as close to the old JR's Grill (IYKYK) as we've ever found. Fantastic. We moved on to the smoked prime rib and blackened redfish for dinner. Both were amazing. The smoked prime rib might be the best smoked steak I've ever had, and I've won awards for my smoking talent. The potatoes au gratin were from another universe. So fantastic! Do not sleep on this place, it's one of the best in DFW.

Fast food vibes, gourmet vibes. Inside has a diner:butcher vibe with the counter and serving areas being rolling cutting board tables. It's fun. Wife and I each I got the two slider combo. I Opted for the PBJ and Nashville chicken to have both their proteins with onion rings. Side note, best onion rings ever. Huge, salty, crispy, tasty. Both sliders were juicy and full of flavor. The little buns were so soft and warm. Price seems high. Wife and I got out of there for around $33 and were full from our delicious meals. Worth the price! Looking forward to trying their other sliders.

Taylor at Rowdy Cowboy is exactly what great service is supposed to look like. She's sharp,…read morequick-witted, and actually pays attention to what's going on around her--something that clearly isn't consistent across the rest of the floor. While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

It's…read moreactually a very fun experience, as long as you don't bring your significant other or care about food. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.
