So imagine my surprise when I discovered this place, new and part of a strip center. I saw the reviews and decided to try it. I had the 2-meat platter with pulled pork & smoked turkey breast, wife had hot links and sliced brisket. All were good. As a Texan, I'm almost embarrassed to admit I prefer pulled pork over brisket, but both were really good. Hot links were actually spicy. I was surprised. Turkey was really good as well. Not a bad side with our order either. Beans, Cole slaw, Green Beans and Broccoli & Cheese Casserole. All, very good. Wife had the banana pudding and demolished it before I had a chance to try a spoonful. Staff is nice and friendly. Really enjoyed it and will be back.

The mac was pot cooked rather than baked with a cheddary crust. The broccoli cheese casserole was pretty good though. Texas toast went through too fast so it wasn't toasted enough. For the price though, at a sit down bbq joint, was a ton of flavor and on the generous portion size to be close to $5 below the usual chain restaurants. This is a cozy hometown family owned and operated business that deserves the foot traffic it's getting. I'm home,but still have good bbq smoke wafting off my shirt. Gotta love that real wood aroma. Take care of yourselves. Peace.

I got the smoked turkey with green beans and the burnt in beans. They really are one of my favorite side dishes to eat. The two guys carving meat were funny, friendly, and helpful.

I ordered the most excellent BBQ Sundae that consisted of loaded mashed potatos and Mexicican style street corn topped with delicious chopped brisket and jalepeno cheddar sausage. The slicer graciously allowed me to substitute the black pepper sausage for the jalepeno cheddar and the combination was absolute dynamite, ya hear????? The service was kind and enthusiastic just like at many of the other reputable Texas BBQ joints. Barbecue folks=Good folks. My husband just had a side of the cowboy beans to enjoy for lunch. I thought the beans were excellent. I noticed too that they also have burnt end beans that are more like a baked bean dish. We chose a two meat brisket platter with brisket burnt ends, sliced brisket, the cowboy beans and Mexican street corn to take home. We paid a premium because our platter was essentially a double brisket platter. No problemo! Just give us that brisket goodness! We thought everything was fantastic and would definitely recommend as a great place in North Richland Hills for barbecue. I appreciate the patriotic theme of the restaurant and simply adore the name.

The ribs were huge and smoked not a lot of seasoning and I love seasoning. I ordered brisket bites and they were okay not my fav and I prob wouldn't order them again but try something else. Really it's one of those hole in the wall places that might surprise you. We went for the company not so much the food. I ordered pickles bc they looked good but we're all mushy and I didn't like that at all.

If you are into getting your protein on - then this is your best choice! The Texas twinkies are definitely something to order if you love jalapeños - I'll go back just for these alone...

I was told the peach cobbler was really good too. I also really loved their prayer wall. Take and prayer and leave a prayer. Can't wait to come back to town and try this place again.

I hit the drive-thru and the service was excellent. I could even understand through the speakers! Nice displays of menus and specials. Looks like they even have a Thanksgiving package (hint hint). Lots of drive-thru ambiance. I ordered the 2-meat plate (brisket and sausage), and instead of 2-sides I replaced with a loaded baked potato. When asked which sauce, my eye started twitching. I dont like pouring sauce on meat after the fact...I prefer it baked and baked in. But...I told them id take their spicy BBQ sauce on the side. So...once I got home, I tore into the potato. It was HUGE so I cut it in half. The meat did not have sauce baked and baked in, but it was good. Really good. And then I went crazy. I tasted the spicy BBQ sauce. Very good. And went crazier and poured it over the brisket, sausage, and baked potato. There was a lot of food on the plate, so I saved half for leftovers. It was really really good and I'll definitely be going back.

My husband found the Red Barn Bar BQ a few days ago and could not wait to go back - so there I was - a Saturday afternoon where the heat was over 86 degrees. And it was the best brisket I have eaten so far. It wasn't heavily smoked (so I didn't taste it for the rest of the day) and I didn't feel heavy and had that normal regretting feeling l have when eating this when it's warm outside. I enjoyed every single bite. They also have hand cut fries (love that as you don't see hand cut fries often around where I live). This one is worth the drive, friends. And it's owned by the original person who started this place years ago.

Just to the right of the sign were two Level 2 chargers. We each ordered two 2 meat plates, which included two sides. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we realized we had WAY over-ordered. We had enough for two meals for each of us! We had chicken and pork ribs, mac & cheese and flat green beans. It was very tasty with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I spoke with the owner and thanked him for supporting EVs, to which he replied, "How could I not? It's what's coming. How could I not get on board?" He mentioned that quite a few of his customers found him on Plugshare.com and stop by regularly for a meal and charge. I had to Google "So mote it be."
