    Brisket and bbq chicken with baked beans
    Marla P.

    Arrived into Dallas and checked in to the hotel. I was told I needed to try out some Texas BBQ so I checked Uber Eats. I placed an order for the 2 meat plate. I order baked potato and a side of beans. I wasn't expecting so much meat! What a pleasant surprise. I ordered the bbq sauce on the side and I received a nice decent potion of the sauce. Baked beans were good! The baked potato was huge and the toppings were generous. I must the say the only thing was just ok not impressive was the roll.

    This is the sausage

    Just got takeout from Colter's through UberEats. We got 1/2 lb sausage, a half chicken and 1/2 lb of brisket for around $45. This was our first time trying this place. It's always a risk but this time it really didn't pay off. Everything is completely flavorless. The brisket is grey and dry, the sausage is literally like an Oscar Meyer hot dog, the chicken is dry and again, zero flavor. The "bbq" sauce is just straight up vinegar. This is the worst bbq I've ever had. The fact they call this bbq is a disgrace. It's inedible it's so bad. I won't even feed this to my dogs.

    My family would go to Colter's once a week when they were all over Addison, Plano, Garland, and Dallas North Tollway, We have now gone 25 minutes to the Colter's on Camp Wisdom six weeks in a row. The spare ribs are the best. A full rib and not a rib that has been over trimmed. Great sauce and my goodness the onion rings are the best. it is worth the drive from far north Dallas. This is real Texas BBQ. Plenty of parking . Only problem is no Coke products just Pepsi. Not a big deal. Iced tea works

    CHICKEN passed as pulled pork NOT!

    Ordered by the pound brisket and pulled pork. Arrived home brisket looked dry smelled like liquid smoke. Chicken passed pulled pork went back with the chicken they claimed it was chicken NOT PORK. Dried and old! Nasty BBQ and customer service sucked.

    The brisket was "amazing" and the sausage was "some of the best I ever had. And the pulled pork was "incredible" and the mac and cheese was "to die for.

    Decent, grabbed some brisket, loaded baked potato and some green beans. Brisket was adequate, good smokey flavor but fairly lean which in the brisket world usually translates to less tender. That definitely held true here, I wouldn't call the brisket tough, but you need to use your knife to cut it. Potato was ok, beans were acceptable. Restaurant itself seemed pretty nice very large dining area, wider range of hours of operation than others in the area. Based strictly on the tenderness of brisket I'd pursue other options.

    Had to pick the lumps of sour cream out that I asked to not be put in there.

    The quality has really declined over the years. Got a Pinot and the bread was hard, it's like they don't even care anymore. Asked for a potato with no sour cream and when I get home and warm it there's a big glob of curdled sour cream.

    Potato with brisket

    Always a delight. Food is outstanding. Husband loves the turkey and I prefer cobbler. I got the baked potato with brisket for my meal with a side of cole slaw for roughage. Yummy.

    I like eating Colter's bbq and its usually pretty good. But I wasn't impressed with the food at this location. Charged me to much for such a small amount and it wasn't tender or very flavorful.

    2 meat plate.

The pastrami is incredible--it literally melts in your mouth and is packed with flavor. Their brisket is just as amazing and always cooked perfectly. The prices are a little higher than some barbecue places, but the quality more than makes up for it. The service is fast, the staff is friendly, and the vintage atmosphere gives the place a lot of character. My biggest tip is to get there right when they open at 10:00 AM, Wednesday through Friday. The line builds quickly, and you don't want to miss out on their best items. If you're looking for some of the best barbecue around, Cattleack is absolutely worth the trip!

The line took over 1.5 hours before I was able to place my order. At the register, I noticed I had been double charged and pointed it out to the cashier. Mistakes happen, especially during busy hours. However, she initially denied it and removed meat from my plate to reweigh it. She later acknowledged the mistake and admitted the error, but not before making an unnecessary scene. The brisket was good, but the overall experience could have been better. 2 stars.

    One of the few famous BBQ places I had not tried in the two years I have lived here. (Side note:…read morethis is ALWAYS a great place to stop for a bathroom break when you are visiting the Bishop Arts District.) We came in for a snack and, of course, left completely full. My friend absolutely loved the burnt ends. He liked them so much that after we finished the first order, he went back and got a second one, plus some brisket and elote. I thought everything was good, but I will say the menu felt a little limited. This is definitely one of those places where I am glad I finally tried it because it is part of the local DFW BBQ experience, but it is probably not somewhere I would specifically seek out again. That said, if someone wanted to go, I would go again without complaint. I DO want to try the Burndt end bloody mary!

    Hey Lockhart Smokehouse!…read more (And I'm curious WHY you are called Lockhart - 'cause I used to live in Austin, TX, and going to Lockhart for BBQ was one of our favorite Friday afternoon excursions...) The vibe in this place is really great. The people are friendly. Downtown Plano is cool. The restaurant and bar area are clean, well-attended, and the food and drink are all good. So why only 3-stars? To be fair, I came here on a weeknight around 6:30pm, which is not the best way to judge a BBQ place. I will try to come back on a Friday at lunch time, and I hope things will be epic. Bottom line, I wasn't blown away by the meats! They were well cooked, but the flavor just didn't impress. The Sause (sorry, I'm a Rudy's loyalist) was tasty, but didn't blow my mind. A nice sweet + smoky flavor that worked better with the Spare Ribs than the Brisket. (Another minot note -- I know a lot of BBQ places eschew Baby Back Ribs for Spare Ribs. Lockhart only does Spare Ribs.) Would I come back? 100% Would I recommend that you go here? 100% I have to say the bartender was terrific, and the pit masters were super friendly, so no dis on the staff. I was just hoping for "oh my god" BBQ and didn't quite get there. Still a great visit.

We ordered the el jefe plate and share it between us two and still had some leftovers . I also ordered a birria taco it it was my favorite thing I ate.

We ate inside and it was nice and cool the room with the long communal table. I would say they need to be on tables to wipe them down before the next people sit down, maybe figure some fly control & clean up/ touch up paint the walls in that front room. Will not keep me away... but would def improve the experience. This is my favorite BBQ... not just in Arlington, but anywhere. I asked my husband to take me on a date to Loma (their newest restaurant) on Friday evening! So excited to try it!!

    Rating: 6.5/10 Date Last Visited: 7/12/2026…read more I ordered Brisket ($35/lb), Pork Ribs ($29/lb), the Texas Twinkie ($6), and a quart of Hatch Chili Mac N Cheese ($15). The brisket and pork ribs were decent, but honestly pretty dry and lacking in flavor when compared to some other BBQ places in DFW. For the price, it's pretty similar to other BBQ in the area. The Texas Twinkie is a jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and brisket and wrapped in bacon. It was my favorite item as the cream cheese and bacon balanced out the spiciness of the jalapeño. The mac n cheese was also delicious with the perfect amount of spice. The service was great too as they made a mistake on my order and quickly corrected it. I like that this place is open daily and for dinner too. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for some BBQ, but if you're a huge fan of BBQ then I recommend going to the other top BBQ places.

I could explain them in depth, but I would just recommend not getting them. The brisket empanadas were the only thing we all looked at each other with excitement for!

This time, I had birria tacos on my mind. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - I love the Dallas Farmer's Market, and Hurtado is the perfect restaurant to occupy this space. There is a line that steadily moves, nice outdoor and indoor seating, and if you walk towards the back you can see all the smokers. If you visit on a weekend, try to arrive before noon to avoid long lines. 1 Star. Service - You place your order, take a number, and your order is brought out to you. While you don't get to see the staff cut your meat in front of you, they are very fast and efficient. There are also Hurtado staff who will clear plates off your table. Great people here. 1 Star. Food - I came for the Birria tacos. Hurtado uses their smoked brisket, which shredded and paired will all things that make Hurtado special - Mexico flavors (cilantro, onions, and that beefy consommé). I also ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and bacon burnt ends. The brisket is great (and well represented in many Yelp reviews). On this visit, the bacon burnt ends stole the spotlight. A well-seasoned and smoked pork belly cube will melt in your mouth. I washed down my meal with the Tres Leches Banana Pudding and ended an incredible meal. One last very important note, Hurtado is a great value. My two tacos, 2 meat plate, and desert were $50. P.S. I split this meal with my son. I love food but I'm not a glutton. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I've been to the OG Hurtado in Arlington, the one at Globe Life Field, but the location in the Dallas Farmers Market is my favorite of them all. Yes, I will be back! 1 Star.
