Wow did we luck out finding this gem of a place! From atmosphere, to service, to food...it's all great! What a fun location as well tucked inside an RV park! We ordered the loaded grande nachos, the brisket sliders with Mac and cheese, and the queso and chips. We also got a side of their in house Cole slaw and sweet/spicy pickles. Let me tell you I will be dreaming about those pickles! Who just thinks to put pineapple in with pickles? This place! And it works. Christi was our server and she had a fantastic smile and was attentive to us. She also gave GREAT recommendations! We loved it all. Our two boys said best sliders hands down. If we lived here, this place would be a staple for us. I will be returning here anytime I'm in the area! read more

Stopped by Dead End Trading Post and tried the brisket hamburger sliders with potato salad. The sliders were juicy and packed with flavor -- tender brisket, melted cheese, and a soft bun that held everything together perfectly. The potato salad was creamy with a nice smoky paprika kick on top. Great BBQ flavor and a relaxed Texas atmosphere. Definitely a solid spot if you're in the Fort Worth area and want good food without the fuss. Service was amazing. Staff is very down to earth and friendly. I need to come back an get a shirt ... read more

Dead End Trading Post - Brisket Burgers with a side of homemade potato salad - Desserts Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

It was lunch time again and I was looking for something to eat and this place popped up.Its kind of off the beaten path.When I pulled in the place I looked around and thought I made a wrong turn or something because I was in a RV park.But no there the place was on the left hand side as you pull in.I walked into the place and one of the ladies in there told me to take a seat where ever I like.As I sat down I kind of looked around and it's kind of a small place but big enough.They have about a dozen tables and about 4 or 5 TV's hanging on the wall.They also had some 80's music playing which was right up my alley.Then the waitress came up and took my drink order.As she was getting my drink I looked at the menu and decided to get the sliced brisket sandwich with potato salad.I am really picky about my BBQ but I can say this sandwich was pretty solid.Really tender and had a good flavor to it.And the bun was nice and soft.Now the potato salad was a little on the chunky side which I prefer the smooth.But as far as taste it was pretty good.After I was done she came back to my table and asked if I wanted some cobbler or banana pudding.At the time I said no.But about 15 minutes later I changed my mind and got the cobbler.And I can say it was also pretty tasty.So overall I was very impressed.The food was good,the waitress was really great and friendly and the prices are reasonable for BBQ.I would definitely recommend this place. read more

It is definitely a causal, bbq hang out restaurant! The outside has a little old western town setup, with a playground and corn hole to play, while the inside has plenty of tables with TVs and music playing. Our waitress told us they have live music on most Friday and Saturday nights, which we will keep in mind for our next visit. She was super friendly, and even made sure we were aware of the QR code that has the secret menu items-we ordered the smoked jalapeno off of there and it was delicious! We also ordered the three meat combo, with brisket, jalapeno sausage, and turkey with a small potato and potato salad. Along with a pound of ribs. We might have ordered too much, but it sure was good and we took the leftovers with us. But before we could go, we had to try the peach cobbler. The crust was delicious and the peaches were cooked perfectly. We will definitely come back. read more

Staff and owner were super friendly on our first visit last Sunday. I did not take pictures but our experience was great. We will go back for the live music. My husband had BBQ baked potato. He said it was really good. The sauce and brisket were delicious. I had an old fashioned thick smoked bologna sandwich with yellow mustard and cheddar cheese and Fritos ! I'm drooling now just thinking about it. They serve cold beer in bottles or cans. No beer on tap. They also had spicy pickles they gave you to munch on. Everything is fresh. It is at a dead end road but it's a cool place. Bon appetite! read more

Just wanted to get some ribs since it had been quite a while, was cruising top down around the shores of Lake Worth and Google found this spot for me and it was a perfect match! The ribs were spot on.. tender, good bark, really good flavor with a nice sauce on the side.. more than I was hoping for. The cold can of beer came in a koozie.. good move. Thanks Dead End [7.11.25] read more

This place is a hidden gem! I hosted my husband's retirement party at the restaurant in late April. The venue decor reminds me of TexasLand at Six Flags...sort of a Mine Train Vibe, really cute. There is both indoor & outdoor seating . The owner, Robert, and the Manager, Debbie were very flexible & a true pleasure to deal with. Our servers, Christy & Misty, provided great service throughout! Our baked potato buffet was yummy & the beer was ice cold, cheap & served with a can coozie. I am still receiving calls & texts from guests who say they had a lot of fun! My husband & I already have plans to meet up with some other couples at the DETP on a night they have live music... read more

AMAZING! Here for a soccer tournament. This rivals anything I've had for the best BBQ, and what's better is that the rest of the food is just as mouthwatering - banana pudding, incredible coleslaw, potato salad, and sweet and spicy pickles. And the people were so friendly and fantastic. Worth the drive!! We will be back! read more

This is such a super cute/unique spot! Thry have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoors is decorated like an old western town, so neat! I use to come here all the time when it was Bohannan Ranch and loved it. Hadn't been back since it changed hands and became Dead End Trading Post. The kid and I are on our "D" restaurant, so we decided to stop in and get some breakfast. I ordered the breakfast bowl which comes with biscuit, eggs, home fries, sausage gravy and cheese. The portion was huge so I only ate about 1/4 of it! It was yummy though! Kid ordered the breakfas6 burrito which he told me was very good between all his mmmmhhmmmss. The burrito also came with home fries. I would like to come back and try their lunch/dinner sometime. They don't have a soda machine, so you'll be paying $2.50 for each can of soda. They also sell beer, wine, and seltzers, but no liqour. They also have live music, not sure of the specific days though, so check their website or FB. read more

This place is the bomb ! My husband had ribs, brisket and sausage with beans and potato salad and banana pudding for dessert. I had a brisket sandwich, a salad with blue cheese dressing, and a loaded baked potato. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Misty was our waitress. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back. read more

The biggest turn off was that it's located in an RV park... it was a long drive for us, coming from Decatur so for it to be located in an RV park was really disappointing. The food was okay. Brisket was dry. Beer was warm. Service was decent (nice just slow). We won't personally go back nor recommend it read more

Just visited the dead End Trading Post for the first time -- a WONDERFUL experience! The BBQ was really good, not dry or oversmoked as some are. I had the sliced beef sandwich, my friend had the chopped beef. These sandwiches were on 5 inch rolls and LOADED with meat. They were accompanied with delicious mustard potato salad (other choices were also available for your side). To wash it down, they offer many choices of (canned) beer -- no draft or glasses. Your beer choice is presented in a cousie, something I have not seen before. The wait staff is very friendly, giving you the feeling they REALLY want you to return. We also had banana pudding for dessert, the best I've had in a long time. The ambiance was perfect for an old style BBQ & bar restaurant -- wooden tables and chairs throughout. Just like you would expect -- not shiny and sterile like so many are these days. Thank you all at Dead End. I'll definately be back soon. read more

ambience / atmosphere is awesome here. Service and servers are quick and fun / personable. Each one of them smile and love what the do. Food is great! I have been telling A lot of people about this hidden gem. read more

I went yesterday with my son and fiancé. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was laid back and filled with Texas hospitality. We played football bingo and they had a poker tournament going as well. They only sell beer and not liquor but you can bring your own bottle and they'll give you bottle service for a small charge. Very Texan place to go. read more

We have a friend that lives in the RV park. So we visit often. The food and service are outstanding. We had quite a few of the menu items. I love the loaded brisket nachos and the bbq bologna sandwich are 2 of my favorites. Their queso is the best mu husband loves the phili cheese steak quesadilla and the rattlers (a stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon. And I can't forget the banana pudding. It is phenomenal. Every server makes you like family. We also like to go for the Cowboy Football Bingo. I highly recommend it. read more

This place was so unbelievably underwhelming that I couldn't believe it had a 4.9 stars: to start off we came into for father's day and the customer service was meh at best, waitress look like she had Thursday or Fridays Makeup on still and just had rolled out of bed. to start off with the food the brisket queso was very mid, was not hot but wasn't cold and brisket was solid in it. moving to the entrees the brisket and ribs were super rough and so overly smoked that i couldn't bare to take another bite, left the feeling of strep throat and on top of that i think it could've classified as a lethal weapon with how rough it actually was. the sides were bad... mac n cheese was soupy and had no flavor and the potato salad was damn near like candy with how sweet it was. place was super cute and the vibe was nice until we actually sat down. If you live locally i suggest driving farther for some good BBQ because this was not it at all. read more

We found this place not knowing what to expect but found a gem. The atmosphere was great and the food was wonderful especially for the price. Will definitely return. read more

I had the 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage. The plates have generous portions. The food is so good you'll definitely want a to go box for leftovers. I had the black berry cobbler for dessert. It was definitely worth it! What makes this place stand out is that they take pride in their customer service, and it shows. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend stopping by! read more
