My friends love their BBQ and this is one of their favorite places to visit. We have often…read morewondered how much one of the larger-than-life beef rib cost and we finally got the answer, around $60! And boy, was it flavorful, juicy, and delicious. Other favorites from the menu includes prime brisket $19/half pound and pork belly burnt ends $19/half pound. I was not impressed with the $7 Texas Twinkie, a jumbo jalapeno stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon. On the contrary, one of our friends dreams about it. They have lots of sides to pick from and they give you a small container that you can fill up (not weighed). Desserts are free and self-serve for those dining in, options include peach cobbler, banana pudding and vanilla and chocolate soft serve. This place is popular, but the lines move fast and there is plenty of seating. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

Our dear friends that are pastors in the area brought us to this establishment. The food was so delicious and exceptional! Some of the best BBQ, sides, and desserts we've ever eaten. Just Wow! .... They even have a fried bologna sandwich on the menu. So nostalgic of growing up. My husband ordered it and it was incredible! The brisket is melt in your mouth delicious, along with the other meats. So so good. Also don't sleep on the orange cake. My goodness! So good! Worth the trip from Houston to Lewisville (Dallas area) just to eat here. Great patio area also. You won't find better BBQ! ....

I stumbled onto this place today. BBQ wasn't on the schedule, but one of my old favorites is closed…read moreon Tuesdays, so I needed a quick lunch spot and here I was. It was a hot day, and I don't think their A/C was working. The restaurant was hot and humid, and I genuinely felt bad for everyone working there. They were all smiles, so maybe they mind the heat less than I do. I would not have been all smiles. The menu has all the usual BBQ favorites. I went with the brisket, mac and cheese, and okra, then followed it up with a corn muffin. It was good. I love brisket. But I didn't find it better or worse than any of the other BBQ places I've tried, and in Texas that's a crowded field. The owner came by the table a few times. Nice guy. How did I know he was the owner? Because his face is plastered everywhere. They appear to hand out coloring book pages of his head, which customers then color in and post all over the walls. Charming or mildly unsettling? I genuinely cannot decide. I'm leaning charming. Ask me again on a cooler day. Food was good. Atmosphere, eh. If I'm in the area again and want BBQ, I'd drop in. I'm not going to seek it out, though.

Came here for our first visit for my sons 30th birthday and I don't know that we will be back. As…read moremuch as we LOVE Marty Bs - we have not had such luck with Rustico and now 1845. I will say we atleast liked the atmosphere and ambiance better at 1845 than we did at Rustico. But it was more of the same- incredibly overpriced BLAND food. Not at all worth the price you're paying, severely lacking in flavor, and takes waaaaay Too long to be delivered to your table after ordering. We started with the Texas Trio and we did enjoy that. It is kind of hard to mess up queso, salsa and pimento cheese- however we did say that was one thing we would eat again and was worth its value. My husband and other son bothe ordered cheeseburgers at $22 a pop and both said the burger they get at local pint was a million times better and a lil cheaper. I got the smothered chicken and It was very disappointing! The chicken was so bland it was like a notch above school cafeteria food (seriously) I swapped the rice for mashed potatoes and they were good (not great but good) and the Brussels sprouts which were really tasty but VERY small Portion for price. I've eaten at incredibly high end steak places that charge the same For a side of sprouts and give you more than double what I got tonight at 1845. The birthday boy got a strip steak and potatoes and he gave each of us a bite. $49 for this steak- a good size- but NO FLAVOR at all. Last but certainly not least- our server was nice enough and attentive HOWEVER he had on the Meta glasses that record people and that made our entire table very uncomfortable. My son said he had seen tik tok accounts where waiters record their patrons and post it! (Not saying he was but it definitely changed the atmosphere of our dinner) He also seemed notably disappointed and different after we didn't order the $49 appetizer and no alcohol. Visible mood shift but he did remain professional. All in all, we are baffled by the good reviews. And very very surprised at the quality of product and price point considering Marty Bs coffee has AMAZING food quality and pricing and so does the restaurant, just doesn't seem to be translating to the other establishments. :-(

What made it worse was how expensive the meal was for what we received. I don't mind paying good money for good barbecue, but the quality has to match the price. Unfortunately, this time it didn't. I left feeling like I paid premium BBQ prices for a meal that was nowhere near premium quality.

In other words, you'd never catch a glimpse of it by simply driving through town (thank goodness for Google maps!) and even many of the locals are unaware of its existence. We did manage to find it though, with hopes that the food would be worth the effort it took to get there. My husband and I both started with caesar salads. Other than being a little heavy on the dressing, they tasted ok. The pecan crusted salmon and mac & cheese were next for me. The coating on the salmon tasted like the same stuff a Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole is topped with. Unfortunately, that's the one thing I never touch because I'm just not a fan of the flavors. Unlike the salmon and salad, there was nothing objectionable about the mac & cheese. My husband ordered a filet that arrived really cold and underdone. It was closer to mooing than medium rare like he requested! Even after they took it back to the kitchen to cook it some more, it came back pretty raw. The chocolate cake we had for dessert was probably the best part of the meal. It was so rich and decadent that we didn't even miss the raspberry sauce (I assumed they purposefully left it out since we got it to go). Considering that the management here has opened and closed so many different restaurants in this same spot, you would think that they would be experts by now at running a successful establishment. But for some reason, they continue to put out the kind of lackluster food that can be found for a lower price at a major chain. At least they can boast having a beautiful view if nothing else.

He and Kenna made sure that there was ice water on the tables within minutes, that water was a welcome sight for sure. Kenna was spot on taking orders and making sure all our needs were met. The food came out very quickly more so than I would have thought considering the crowd they had. I heard nothing but good things about the food from everyone in our group. I introduced myself to Tye and we talked about Marty B's but he also took the time to fill me in on the other concepts Marty has around the area. It was a great conversation, and I will definitely be giving them a try. Thank you for making it a great experience, I'll see y'all soon!
