They slice it and put it on a plate. I ordered some brisket, a slice of turkey, and a rib. It is weighed and a sticker is put on your tray. You walk inside and can choose cold sides. Then there's a warmer where I chose Mac and cheese. Also as I walked in I was asked if I wanted fries or onion rings. I chose the rings and was given a number to keep on my tray so they could bring them out to me when they were ready. Then you pay. They also serve soda and alcoholic beverages but you get them at the bar. There is a place to get bbq sauce mild or spicy and if you're eating g in you can get pinto beans as well Everything we ate was delicious. Would definitely return, so many other items to try!!

Four stars only as compared to other Dallas BBQ joints - five star anywhere outside of Texas. Ribs and Jalapeño Sausage were perfect - great spice in the sausage. Brisket was ok - might have been my serving but not much flavor though I really didn't get any bark on my plate. I'd order it again - I'm just saying. If you're making the BBQ rounds and find yourself near Roanoke then Hard Eight should be on the list.

THIS place contends with the best of them! One thing we noted is that some places grill one meat well, but the rest are just okay. For example, good ribs and so-so brisket. That's not the case here! Everything we tried was incredibly tender! It's still tender despite warming it up the next day! There are ample sides. We tried macaroni and cheese and fried okra. Both were good. There was ample seating, extra parking, and the staff made us feel like we were in a family member's backyard. They were friendly and helpful. Please try Lil JJ's!

Service was friendly and explained some of the menu options well. Ordering was quick, and food was brought out quickly. Food - Overall if you compare this to most TX BBQ places, the flavors here are more reminiscent of Backyard BBQ. You're not going to find intensely smokey flavors, or Michelin rated BBQ...which is not a bad thing.... For the area, the value - pricing is fair, and quality (Brisket was pretty tender for Lean, Ribs were flavorful) it's a 5* through and through. But it won't be "Competition" esque. Example, the ribs are very tasty, but somewhat fall of the bone - they don't have the bite of a top top spot. If you want flavorful barbecue with a good menu, seasoned well, and good service JJs is solid. The area lacks barbecue and this is a good intro into the area where they're way too many chains. Would recommend stopping by!

I already love this place because I can bring my dogs, and that's always a big plus for me. I just wish their dog park was a little bigger and maybe had a few more things in there. I just want the best for my dogs. Other than that, everything was nice. The drinks were really good and they have so many different options to choose from. The staff working there were also really nice, especially the one helping us out. I forgot to catch his name, but you'll probably spot him in one of the pictures. He was super sweet and helped us decide what drinks to get. All of my dogs really enjoyed it too. I didn't ask, but I do wish they had some kind of dog menu so they could enjoy something too. They do have cold water for the dogs though, which was really nice. It was pretty hot when we went, but they had fans going all around, and if you want, they also have indoor seating. Overall, it's just a really vibey place and I always enjoy coming here.

I'm glad I checked it out because it was easily one of the best fried chicken experiences I've had, especially for the value. The price was fair, and the portions were gigantic. I got the biscuits and gravy along with the fried chicken entrée, which came with four pieces of chicken, gravy (again!), and sides. Everything was very satisfying. The folks working there were also very friendly. They reminded me of the humble, hard-working people I grew up around back in the day. There's a nostalgic, feels-like-home kind of vibe here that made the meal even better. I was more than satisfied with both the food and the service. Highly recommended. As a side note, because the portion was huge, I asked for a to-go box. For some reason, they didn't have to-go boxes at the time and gave me a small plastic bag instead. I'm not sure if that was a one-time thing or some kind of no "to-go" policy, but it didn't affect the overall experience.

Service began with a biscuit and a "salad", which was simply chopped iceberg, lettuce with some type of vinaigrette. Dressing was good, but salad lame - IMO it'd be a better experience if they would simply serve coleslaw. The chicken itself (four pieces mixed) was fine, but nothing extraordinary. The mashed potatoes and gravy were very flavorful, the corn was ok. In the end, you're served a healthy amount of food and it is overall tasty, but nothing really noteworthy for me.

I was originally planning to go to another famous burger place in town, but this American food…read morerestaurant looked and sounded really good from the photos and menu and was close to my hotel. I visited during lunch so I took advantage of the lunch burger special for $3 off. Horizon 76 turned out to be good for another entree I was craving 2 days later, so I returned a 2nd time. They sat us in the same table unknowingly and I even sat in the same seat. We also had the same waiter and he of course remembered us and our drink order from last time. How's that for customer service? On my first visit I ordered a tea and original horizon burger and added a cup of chili, which isn't really listed on the menu but they can addit to your burger for a few dollars more. I had wanted to try the bone-in burger, but they don't offer it anymore. My friend who lives in Ft Worth had not heard of this place that opened around 2020, but then again he doesn't get out much. Burger - this is a very good burger and I would put it up against the best burgers in town. I don't live here, but I bet it would be in the top 3 for any burger enthusiast that likes thick burgers. The sweet sourdough bun really makes this taste even better, not to mention when you have steak blends in your patty, it elevates it quite a bit. Fries - I've had several duck fries around the country and these were not that good. Not much seasoning at all. Tasted like typical frozen breaded fries flash fried in duck fat. Side of chili - small amounts of anything are usually tasty, this chili is no exception. Filled with beans and comes in like a shot glass. They don't give you much as a side. I guess they prefer you to order the $16 chili entree. On my second visit, my buddy and I were craving a good chicken fried steak. We decided to visit here since you rarely see filet / tenderloin as the protein in CFS, plus knowing the burger was awesome, we figured the CFS was probably good too. For my sides, I chose grilled veggies and loaded baked potato. CFS - This was a good version but I didn't really like the breading due to its color and high flour content. I prefer a darker greasier one. The meat was what I came for mainly and it was really good tenderloin pounded pretty dang thin. Not overly breaded, surprisingly. The veggie medley is truly a mix of about 8 different veggies, which you rarely see. Most grilled veggie sides are 3-4 at most. Overall, my best friend was super impressed and now he wants to return to their BBQ restaurant next door. I was also impressed, but I would come back for a burger or another entree next time.

I tried this little food truck at the Truck Yard thinking it was a safe bet. I went to place my order and there were some kids manning the truck.

The guy serving my plate couldn't find the serving spoon and they were all giggling unable to process a simple one plate order. Took them forever. Once I got my plate I opened it and it was laughable at how miniscule these ribs were. ~Dont want no itty bitty teeeny weenie short~...My sides were baked beans and potato salad and let me tell you I could swim in those beans! They were probably the best baked beans I have ever had. The potato salad was also quite delicious. Maybe next time I'll just order sides.
