The hubs and I recently had dinner here. It was a very nice experience. The restaurant itself is…read morepretty new and clean. The server was really nice and we never felt rushed during our dinner. The apps:started with the brisket queso and I was surprised how much we liked it. It could have used little more brisket; but overall very tasty queso. It had a bit of pico de gallo on top too. Comes with chips. The steak: I had the renegade sirloin with shrimp. He had Flos filet. It's no lie because Flo knows steak ! His steak was better hands down, very tender and juice - and he ordered his well done. We go to Roadhouse frequently but may have to come here instead. The other star of the show: Mac and cheese bacon. It's as good as it sounds. The salad: very good salad, they use the premixed lettuces and all was fresh. I hate old lettuce. Ranch was on point. To-go: we took home the strawberry shortcake and cheesecake. I liked both but the kid said her favorite was the cheesecake. Side note: my shrimp and his corn on the cob were very salty. But we are willing to give this place another chance just for the steak.

How is a steak house already out if baked potatoes not far into lunch time?? The service was not great, we had to flag our server down every time we needed water or drink refills. She was not very attentive. The steaks were cooked correctly, but the mashed potatoes they subbed for baked potatoes were bland and my fried okra was inedible. It was so tough you couldn't bite through it. Not sure that we will be returning.

A real "good 'ol boy" Texas hole in the wall BBQ place…read more We were pre-scouting locations to see the 2024 Eclipse and found this place well rated. I am not sure if they take cash b/c the ordering systems (surprisingly) was via kiosk. (looked like the couple in back was doing food and made this choice to save on a cashier- not sure if they even would take cash - but it sure seems like the type of place that would) It was a Thursday around 11:10 - and they already had a few customers in back. The vibe was EXACTLY what you want - they were even playing this local country station and I had never ever heard any of the songs, really old school and I loved it. Hubbs "smitty" brisket sandwich was the clear winner - though the raw jalapeños were a bit much for me- the roll was perfection, a little sweet and extra soft and chewy, also larger than most sandwiches. My pork rib plate was pretty good, the beans and mac and cheese were nothing special. I will say the ribs were greatly enhanced by their BBQ sauce on the side. Bill was $32. I had read about some desserts here - but the only offing that say was slices of pecan pie - they looked very good and jam-packed with pecans - but we resisted.

And the sides that complement the meal. The service is fast depending on when you go. I usually try to catch them when they first open to have faster service. However they lack the technology which is a bummer. I don't normally walk around with cash in order to pay at this establishment. I hope they get a card reader or something soon.

We opted for a pair of 3 meat platters at $16 per plate--lean brisket, ribs and rib tips, links, and the mandatory sides of baked beans and potato salad. The sides were sides, but Meshack's is definitely about the meat. The links had good snap and the ribs were well prepared, separating cleanly at the bite. Both had a flavor profile pleasantly tilted to the peppery side (just the way we like it). The brisket had nice bark and pink ring, but the central Texas rub didn't really kick in until we had them for dinner some 8 hours later. We were happy with the food here, and look forward to another visit. It was fun talking 'cue with Donna, who took good care of us during our visit-- our 99th BBQ stop in Texas, and the 399th nationwide.

The staff was so warm and welcoming, which added to the top notch food. Jonah was so helpful and genuinely happy to be of service. He gave me his recommendations and was very attentive. He truly made it an amazing experience, along with Tristan. Both very kind and very knowledgeable. They carried on conversation with me as if we had been lifelong friends. Hands downs the best service I've ever received. (I worked in the service industry for over 2 decades so I am the pickiest of picky when I go out to eat. I can't help it!). This place truly lived up to the reputation and the reviews on Yelp. Out of all the BBQ places to choose in Dallas and I chose the right one. Don't sleep on Strouderosa BBQ! You won't be disappointed!

When I called to ask where the plastic came from that I consumed they said oh we wrap our meat with it to keep it fresh. The Brisket was heated up. So that tells me one thing noone took the time to unwrap the plastic before they reheated this meat. Pure negligence. I knew better!! When you pass by a restraunt multiple times a week and see no cars, there is un fact a reason. I called back and the person who answered the phone was very condescending and could care less that I had choked on the plastic in the meat! 50$$ down the drain for inedible so called barbecue
