Great food and friendly service! The 3 meat plate was absolutely dynamite, and the homemade sides were just as impressive. Everything had that authentic Texas BBQ flavor you hope for when you stop at a local spot. I'll definitely be recommending Dynomite BBQ to everyone across Texas -- skip the others and head straight here. Highly recommend! read more

They weren't even at the location when they were "open." What a waste of my time. Shouldnpost accurate hours &/or location

I'm super late with this review but this is by far some of the best bbq I've had in DFW. As with most reviewers, it takes a little bit to track him down. Most Yelpers will post on here where he's at for the day or just give him a call. First, you're greeting by the smoke which is my first rule when it comes to bbq. If I can't smell it, I ain't eating it. Second, are all the nice people waiting in line. Folks were like kids at Christmas; they couldn't wait to dig in. Then there's the Pitmaster and you can tell right away about his passion. Not just for his craft but the people he's serving. Don takes his time with each person and you're having a genuine conversation. It's just so much more than just a transaction. I ended getting, what I'm going to call the, Pitmaster's Plate. I had $50 and told Don that give me whatever I could get for it. I got some of everything: sausage, lean brisket, spareribs, and my two favorites fatty brisket and the chicken (he only serves dark meat). The meat was not overly seasoned with just a hit of spice. I'm guessing salt, pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, cayenne and maybe a little mustard powder. It had a strong smokey flavor so I'm guessing either mesquite or oak. I didn't get any sauce so I was bummed about that and some of the lean brisket was a little dry but it's definitely worth all the money. I got so much food and it was a pleasure just being there. I ended up making some pimento grilled just with the brisket and it was . There are no sides, no bread, just pit style bbq. If you can, definitely make your way there. read more

His stand was at the corner of Custer and Parker. We got brisket and ribs. They both were delicious, tender, and didn't need any sauce. The price was right for the portions. If you are in the area please stop by on Saturdays and check him out, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I agree with Katy B. and Steve T. today (Sat,June 11,2016). I was driving to go to a drive through and saw the smoker with a bunch of people standing around. I stopped and waiting in line with 3 other people in front of me. Dynamite Donald gave me a sample (like he does to all his customers) and it was so moist. I got a half pound of brisket for $10.00 and he even gave me a quarter more. I got his rib special for $12 and it was great. I had $25 and asked if I could get something else for $3 and he threw in a quarter chicken thigh and some brisket. You can not beat the taste. My wife saw me staring at her rib and said sorry, she is not sharing. Dynamite Donald makes his own sauce too. He is parked across the street from Subway, corner of Custer and Parker in Plano this weekend. He told me if you come by tomorrow (Sunday), he will have boudin too along with his brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage. If I had to say something on the minus side, I tasted a bit more garlic salt to my taste. It was fine for my wife. Don't hesitate to check out where Dynamite Donald is at. Worth the drive. read more

Had this place a while ago and it's amazing best brisket I've ever had. I'm hoping I can get in touch with the owner so I can place an order for pickup tomorrow read more

This place is serious bbq. The bbq here isn't like the others where they are trying to stick to certain styles. Dynamite does it his was and it's seriously flavorful. It's also cheaper per pound here too! I had the brisket, very flavorful and fatty, though not the most tender. The ribs were great as well, tender, Smokey, and also some charcoal flavor from grill which is great change of pace from just smoked ribs everyone does. The chicken has an amazing snap to the smoked skin which held in a ton of juices. This place is more than just work, he seems to really enjoy himself selling bbq read more

Y'all - this BBQ is goooood! Dynamite delivered ribs and brisket to our office today and it was amazing! Authentic TX BBQ is hard to find. Consider it found! read more

I have to add another 5 star review. Dynamite Donald has it all. Charisma to spare, a way with meat, and a portable smoker. Combine all those and you've got some dynamite parking lot BBQ! He says its $16/pound for brisket but he knows his stuff. I got to pick my cuts and he weighed it at over a pound and a quarter, then threw in some of the best chicken I've ever had. My kids are calling it "meat candy" and $20 has us full with leftovers for days. One kid said Dickey's should fire everyone and just hire this guy. Thanks, Donald! read more

So friendly and great tasting BBQ. I feel good doing business with the gentlemen running this business.

THE CHICKEN IS TO DIE FOR!!! Smoked to perfection! The ribs are delicious as well. Can't beat the price and the owner will bring the biggest smile to your face! Such a fun-loving, good hearted guy. Will definitely be back to try the brisket! read more

Came across this guy super randomly. Just a truck with a smoker! The brisket was amazing. Doesn't even need sauce (although I love me some good BBQ sauce!) Great portions and super affordable. Make sure to bring cash though! Bonus points for Don being one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet! Such a happy guy, you can't help but have a better day after you see him! read more

Ribs were a bit smokey for my taste but the brisket was absolutely delicious and it was service with a smile. He was extremely friendly and gave us extra for our first time. Highly highly recommend the brisket- very tender and tasty read more

A guy, a truck, and a smoker on a trailer in the parking lot of Jacobs liquor store, and it's incredible. He's been there for around six months, maybe more - Thursday, Friday, Saturday only. After noticing his loyal following I finally hit it up. It's really good - the brisket, the sausage, have not had the ribs, but others rave about it. He also smokes boudin, and it's the only boudin I've ever liked. Noticing some pecan next to the smoker, I asked him about the wood he uses. He also uses black walnut - asked him where he gets black walnut, he says he walks for it - welcome to northeast Texas Customer service is prime, act interested and you're likely to fill up on samples. Cash only - get some. read more

He's at the Kroger center parking lot at Preston & Campbell. There is no missing the awesome aroma from the smoker. I had to run get some cash but it's definitely worth it! Awesome ribs, brisket & chicken y'all!!! A follow up to my previous review. I ate my ribs with no BBQ sauce. Right out of the smoker, they were cooked to perfection, the meat came right off the bone and the smokey flavor was absolutely delicious!!! read more

Excellent Texas BBQ - definitely the best restaurant in Murphy area....best BBQ you'll find anywhere around. Always service with a smile and makes me laugh every time I head over. I still can't believe one of my favorite places to eat comes from parking lot at the liquor store next door - Love this place! read more

I gotta say, I spent a few minutes with Donald at the parking lot location by Kroger at Campbell/Preston and we went over all the meats and the Cowboy game. His "Shicken" is unreal, so moist and very tasty!! The ribs were a little dry but I did get the end of the day ribs. Brisket is a must try and the links rock and rolled!! read more

What do you do when you pull into your neighborhood grocery store parking lot, only to see a 6'5 guy wearing jean overalls & a straw hat, in front of a huge smoker ? You go up and ask him what's for dinner! I had the great pleasure of meeting Donald today, and I'm so glad I took the chance to walk over and see what he was up to. Donald with Dynamite bbq was the highlight of my dreary day, and most of us could probably use a reason to smile during this crazy time in history. Well, Don gave me several reasons to smile....he was welcoming, like we were old friends who have not seen one another for awhile, and before I could even ask what he had for sale, he was slicing off pieces of brisket and handing out plates. His chicken was AMAZING and his prices are very reasonable. He is very generous with his portions, and for $10 ( $7 plus $3 tip) we received a plate overflowing with chicken and brisket. Don prefers to have orders called in advance, and is rarely out with his smoker and trailer, so I feel so lucky to have been at the right place at the right time, to experience his food. Dynamite bbq would be an excellent choice for your next tailgate party, picnic, or family reunion. I'm not sure if he offers ribs or sides, but it never hurts to ask! Thank you again Don for the great bbq ... you have a new fan! read more

I have been looking for Dynamite BBQ. Haven't seen him in the Campbell/Preston location for about 8 weeks. Any idea where he is? Missing his chicken!! 6/19/2019 read more

Found this place outside the Kroger at Campbell and Preston. Brisket was excellent! Got a few ribs too and thought the flavor was excellent but too fatty. Will have to go back and try the chicken. Yummy read more

First time eating Dynamite BBQ, this is what I missed while I was in Seattle. Man I'm glad to be back in Texas. The que was bursting with flavor. Catch Dynamite at Jacobs spirits in Plano off of FM544 you want be disappointed. read more

We love stopping by for great food, stories and fun! We always have smiles and full bellies. We had an added little surprise yesterday - our little vegan 4 year old chowed down 2 whole pieces of chicken! I haven't been able to figure out a way to get him to eat meat but it looks like we have Saturdays dinner figured out . I wish we had pictures but we were too messy for phones. Thanks for a exceptional dinner! read more

Wow what a disappointment !! I could taste the lighter fluid not the smoke flavor . Wasted 12 dollars. read more

Pretty good grub! Their meat is perfection. Their sides could use a little work though. We come here often on our cheat days!

Last year, he was always at the gas Station by Dublin and fm 554 but not sure where he is now. Brisket is slow cooker to perfect and just about everything is fantastic. Sides weren't consistent but all I ever came for was brisket. They do run out of BBQ and took cash only so be sure to have atleast $10 on hand for some BBQ! read more

I've seen Donald set up many times at the corner of Parker and Custer, and today it was perfect timing. Don was talking with another customer when I came up and he greeted me and handed me a chunk of brisket. It was perfectly cooked and the smoke flavor was great. I ordered a 1/2 lb of brisket and 2 hot links. Don LOADED me up with brisket- it was closer to a pound than a half pound. The hot links had a great taste, I can't wait to go back & ask him more about them. I saw he had chicken and ribs, too. I'll save those for the next time!! read more

I'm not sure if the food is any good because it is too difficult to find him and for him to have food on hand. First time, we were unable to locate him (he isn't necessarily where Yelp says he is). Second time, we called and he told us he would be in Murphy the next day. He wasn't there when he said he would be. We went over to Parker and Custer. He was there (not in Murphy like he told us) and had just run out of food. He seemed to feel bad about that. He promised us he would be at Parker and Custer at a certain time the next day. We went at that time. He wasn't there. We went shopping nearby and checked back 30 minutes later. He still wasn't there. Very disappointed. If I happen to be driving by and see him, I will stop and try some food but I will definitely not go out of my way to look for him again as he twice wasn't where he told us he would be. read more

So good!!! Donnie is a true character! A joy to talk to! He is so friendly and a master with his smoker. I bought some boudin for my husband and he said it was the best he ever had! The brisket was amazing and he threw in a chicken leg, glad he did because it too was awesome and will get that next time too. He was out of ribs, must be as good as the rest, I got to Jacobs around 4:30 and he was sold out! I will for sure go back! He said if the Cowboys don't start winning he will start cooking on Sunday's lol!! read more

Visiting from AZ and wanted some good ol Texas BBQ. This place definitely delivered. Super nice guy who gave us generous samples to try. BBQ was amazing. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area again! read more

Met the owner at Winco supermarket and he was buying a bunch of briskets. I jointly said you having a BBQ and he told me about his shop -- so we decided to try it out. Glad we did. His brisket is outstanding -- good smoke ring and flavorful. He also had homemade sausage which is both very unusual and also very tasty. He is only here on weekends, but he is well worth the stop. read more

THE BEST BBQ IN BIG D! This BBQ blows away the competition. BOOM! Better than Red Hot & Blue, way better than Soul Man's and so much better than 10/50 in Richardson that it makes their meat taste like a school lunch. read more

I have been reading about how good Dynamite BBQ is for a while on Nextdoor. Finally got to try it when he was at the Davenport location this afternoon. Let me tell you - brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage- it was all good! If I had to go with only one, I'd have to pick the chicken, but you can't go wrong with anything. read more

Shut the front door!! The smoked chicken is moist, flavorful with a little kick. Must try! Thanks Donald!!

His barbecue is good. I guess my only complaint would be he dosent take Credit Cards. We are in a world where you have to take all forms of payments. read more

Omg this is da bomb! We've driven by him several weekends on Custer and decided to stop. All I have to say is amen! I wanted just ribs but after a taste I walked away with just about everything. My taste buds were singing. I'm going to be stopping by often. read more

The first time I came upon Dynamite BBQ truck, I was coming out of the dog groomers at Preston and Campbell, I tried the Brisket - Fantastic. I went there in search of him today to pick up some ribs for the holiday. We loved them as much as the brisket. His meat is high quality, with great flavor and delicious sauce. You can't go wrong, it's a great value for the money. read more

The flavor is good and the customer service is superb but the brisket was just not tender. I had to put it in the oven a few minutes. I wish I could give a 5 star but as a trained chef I just wouldn't be telling the truth. The ribs and the sausage were great. read more
