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! ....

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 asked the pitmaster for "the center of the point," and he smiled and he delivered perfectly fatty, smoke-kissed slices. What followed was exactly what great barbecue should be--smoke, smoke, smoke. The brisket was incredibly tender with a perfect bark and that clean, oak-driven flavor you expect from authentic Texas BBQ. The sides were just as impressive: the German sausage was flavorful and perfectly smoked, the creamed corn was rich and comforting, and the jalapeño bacon mac & cheese added a delicious kick. The atmosphere is simple and genuine--about 20 tables, service one guest at a time, plastic trays lined with butcher paper, a soda fountain, and country music playing in the background. The bearded pitmasters and spotless environment add to the authentic experience. This isn't a big chain, but rather a locally owned North Texas gem. If you're near DFW and craving true, slow-smoked barbecue, Meat U Anywhere BBQ is absolutely worth the visit.

I've never had BBQ this tasty, and it's on another level compared to the places I've gone to back home. I told the gentleman cooking that this was my first time, and he gave me tips on getting smaller portions so I could try more offerings. I'm glad I did because I wanted to focus on the meat! As I worked my way down the line, everyone was helpful with asking if I wanted bread, what deserts were worth trying, and closing the transaction. The workers who clean off the tables are also amazing. I was able to practice my Spanish with them. Thank you Hard Eight BBQ for making me feel welcome. I'll definitely come by again when I'm in town!

So I've given Bryan no shortage of great reviews over the years. I first saw him in 2017 working…read moreout of a trailer on the opposite side of I35 off of 407. I've had many good meals there. However, as time goes on service and customer care seems to be declining. I'm in my mid 60s and have white hair, but the cashiers never offered the senior citizen discount unless you ask for it. I had good Birria tacos one time. The next time I went, they dipped them in consume, but didn't sear them off on the flat top so they were crispy so I ended up eating mush. That was my last review and I still gave him three stars for that mediocre attempt at a taco. I've been going to 407 BBQ for many years and I'm well aware of his sign that says if you don't specify, you get what you get no returns lean or fatty. Well I did specify, but the hostess didn't write it down on my order. OK you know what I am disappointed as all hell but that's my mistake since I didn't look at the receipt. Fine, but if you look at the receipt where I ordered a pound of brisket to go that clearly says lean, and it's a hell of a lot closer to fatty than lean. Look at my pictures below. That will tell you everything you need. My wife ordered the burger, which is normally very good and one of the more difficult choices that I have to make in life barbecue or burger. But this time it seems as though they put garlic salt on the burger or some sort of garlic flavoring which overpowers their burger we've never had to specify no garlic before, but maybe something has changed that I'm not aware of. Maybe he felt they needed to be more mainstream? Who knows. With the proliferation of really stellar barbecue now available around DFW I can no longer recommend 407. Maybe he's got too many young kids maybe I'm not aware and he sold out. Maybe he's gone corporate. I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe there's something going on in his life I'm not aware of and he's preoccupied with that. But I think I'm done with 407. He could've easily responded to my yelp review on the mediocre taco disaster, but he didn't. He didn't attempt to make it right. I published my receipt and he can go back in his system and see who I am. He's got my full name and phone number, but I doubt he'll contact me. It's a shame when he was working out of a small wooden shack, there seemed to be a lot more care about Customer Service and Support. There's always my standby Angelo's downtown Fort Worth, North Texas smoke out near Decatur, which is actually closer to me than 407 but has limited hours. Hutchins in Trophy Club and Daynes's barbecue in Aledo. I wish Brian and the 407 crew all the best. Hopefully they get things back
