I'm here to talk about the burger. Heim BBQ sits on Mockingbird Lane across from the entrance to Love Field. It's a clean spotless, bright restaurant with large windows and plenty of indoor and patio seating. Their barbecue looked amazing and smelled even better, but today is about their burgers. Dallas has no shortage of great burgers, most of them flat-top grilled. That's fine, but a truly memorable burger needs something more, and Heim delivers. The meat is exceptional, likely ground in-house, and carries the rich, confident flavor you'd expect from a BBQ restaurant that truly understands meat. The bun is equally impressive. It holds together without crumbling into dry shrapnel the way so many do. The basic Heim burger is simple--meat, grilled chopped onions, bun--but the flavor is outstanding. I ordered the burger with onion rings and a beverage. The onion rings were clearly made in-house and top quality. I usually prefer thin, crispy onion strings, but their thick, donut-style rings were excellent. If you're searching for one of Dallas' best burgers--possibly the best--head to Heim BBQ. You won't be disappointed. Bonus... the service was fantastic. When you order they hand you one of those vibrating electric pucks, but when mine went off the waiter listened, heard where I was, and brought my order to me. Afterward they bus your table and keep the place spotless. read more

Heim Barbecue - 1 meat plate (brisket) $15.99 - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place is for tourists. I would not come back. Better than Sony Bryan's but that's not saying much. I go into every bbq place with an open mind with hopes to really enjoy the experience. It happens quite a bit, just not here this time. The mac was plain without much going on. Not really cheesy or saucy, just dressed noods that needed seasoning. The potato salad was kind of good. It was dry overall, but had a decent flavor. I'm going to turn them into potato cakes. The brisket was moist and well seasoned. It tasted more steamed than smoked. Like they use one of those rotating carousel smokers for catering bbq. Not offset which is the gold standard in Texas. The bacon burnt ends just seemed like pork candy. Fat and sugar, mostly fat that I ended up discarding. The sausage seemed cold since the cheese didn't melt at all. Lastly the onion rings. They were almost good. It was so oily and breaded that it felt gross eating them. Had they been more petite and have a better onion ratio we would have been in business. We shared one leaving the rest to the trash man. Same with the Mac. I won't be back. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go to slow bone down the street. This is typical tourist trap bbq that you should only ever eat if you are here for business travel and don't have much time to invest in something worth it. read more

Heim Barbecue - Huge onion rings, mac, potato salad, brisket, bacon burnt ends, sausage - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Order at the counter, food came out in about 5min and staff helped me carry to the table as meats and sides were in separate trays. Brisket is well seasoned but steamed, not very smokey. Bacon burnt ends were ok, some of the smaller pieces were almost all fat. Cheddar sausage good. Mac was creamy but needed seasoning. Onion rings are oversized and beer battered, not my preferred style. This is better than dickeys but no where near top 100 in Texas. Id rather go to slow bone which is not too far away read more

I first tried Heim Barbecue during a weekend trip to Fort Worth and couldn't wait to return. This location near Dallas Love Field is just as good, if not better. The space is beautiful and spotless, and the service is always friendly and upbeat. I love coming here for their jalapeño burger and brisket. Always excellent and an easy five stars. read more

I'm a fan of barbecue sides since I can never find barbecue shrimp in Dallas. Heim had a wide variety of sides so that was good and they were decent portions that tasted great so even better! The counter service was quick and accurate so what more could you want? It was a well lit inside with additional outside seating so something for everyone. read more

Perfect BBQ spot. Clean, friendly, delicious, priced correctly and great options! The moment you walk in, you can smell the smoke. Ordering is easy and efficient at the counter with great customer service. They give you a buzzer, your drinks and then you pick your own table. When the buzzer goes off, you go back to the counter to pickup your food. Food was delicious! My husband got the 3 meat platter (Jalepeno-cheddar sausage, brisket and pulled pork) with potato salad and okra. I got the 3 meat sampler (happy hour menu) with coleslaw. Everything was perfect! But those Bacon Burnt Ends are HEAVEN. You know a BBQ joint is legit when there's sauce and napkins/paper towels out on the tables and unlimited white bread! read more

Went to happy hour here with a large group of people, and we had a great time! The service was phenomenal. When we ordered a bunch of appetizers and shareable, we had asked the employee at the register how much it would cost for drinks. She ended up giving us a whole stack of cups for free, which was extremely nice! Especially since we had a budget we had to stick with In. We ended up tipping a good amount because the service was so great! The inside had a bunch of seating, and there was also some outdoor seating. We were put into one of the side rooms, where there are two large tables and lots of chairs and definitely accommodated our large group. The food itself was really good and flavorful. I really liked the meat sampler plate that we ordered, as it allowed everyone to try a little bit of everything. I also liked how they had condiments and sides like a pickles, onions, etc., at various stations throughout the restaurant. They also had loaves of bread at the stations so that we could easily make sandwiches ! The merchandise in the front was also really cute!!! Parking was really easy since there is a free lot right outside, this restaurant is also close to other stores! read more

Wow. This was an absolute perfect and unique experience. On a work project and one of the guys said he'd stopped here before so we all agreed to do so. As soon as we walked in the smell was great and the layout and cleanliness was all great too. We ordered a plate with multiple options and all four of us seriously loved every single bite we had. My most important thing is always the service to me and each one in there was wonderful. I promise they were each so happy and fun and created a great vibe in there. This is a definite place to go to for delicious food and great service. read more

Called and takeout here on a Saturday afternoon. Got two burgers, fries, and potato salad. The burgers were great, the fries were a bit overcooked, and the potato salad was very blah. Lacking flavor. I would come back and try new items. read more

Had to leave a review to balance out some of the comments from folks who clearly don't understand Texas barbecue -- likely travelers from the nearby airport. First of all, getting a 3-meat plate for $30 is a steal these days. With more spots switching to meat by the pound, it's becoming rare to find combo plates at all, let alone at a fair price. This location is a gem: short lines, friendly staff, and consistently juicy, flavorful barbecue. Unlike many Texas joints where you're stuck in a line wrapped around the building and risk missing out if you don't show up early, Heim keeps it moving and even offers weekday "Heim Time" specials from 2-6pm. The sides are excellent, there's tons of seating indoors and out, and the overall experience is smooth and yummy. Literally only gripe is they don't pay for ad-free streaming -- so yes, you'll hear a few commercials between country songs. Small price to pay for solid brisket! read more

I was in Dallas for a job interview and stopped by this restaurant as it was right next to my hotel. From the minute I walked in I was greater with a warm welcome! The girl at the front was really nice and bubbly personality! The building had a barn house feel to it, with high ceilings. The food was great! The ribs were delicious, fall off the bone. They have bbq sauce in the table but trust me no extra sauce was needed! The brisket was so good, great flavor and melts in your mouth. The green chili Mac and cheese was also good, just could use a bit more flavor to it as it was a bit bland. The potato salad also was good, great flavor to it but a bit dry. I like my potato salad with extra dressing in them. The peach cobbler with ice cream was to die for! Next time I'm in Texas I will definitely be stoping in. read more

Heim's is clean, welcoming ambiance, located conveniently close to the airport and definitely worth a visit. Starting with Montana, the pleasant, helpful young lady who took my order. I really appreciate her easy smile, pleasant attitude and efficiency. The "fatty" brisket was delicious, so were the green beans and jalapeño cheddar sausage. The Mac n cheese neither the best, nor the worst I'ver ever had. I'd order it again. I'll also be back next time in town. read more

Before you buy the beef rib, please be aware that it is easily 90% fat. There were not even 2 bites that were non-fat. We did talk to 3 different employees there and showed them this plate and they all confirmed that this amount of fat was normal. Just for reference this was $40 for 1. (We did get the $50 "colossal combo" so it came with two sides and 2 fountain drinks). We ended up having to buy other food so that we actually had a full meal. Food is otherwise okay. read more

This restaurant felt like a 5, but I have no frame of reference for Dallas barbecue and as such I am going with a 4. I must begin by noting that you should, if able, drive to this place and get some bacon burnt ends. I was worried that they would actually be "burnt", as I do not love a lot of truly burnt protein, but it was more like large chunks of pork belly with soft, gelatinous fat and decadent muscle cooked with a sweet, peppery glaze. They were unbelievably delicious. I am no authority on brisket by any means, but I thought mine was solid. I got some leaner pieces; I would have appreciated the option to request fatty cuts, but I am not so sure my stomach would have appreciated it as much. At any rate, the smoke flavor was great and the protein was tender. The service was prompt, yet not concerningly so. The server who took our order left off a couple of things, and the waiter gave us the rest of what we ordered without charge, which he did not have to do. The restaurant was clean and orderly. Finally, I got a brownie which had almond flavoring added, and I think it would have been better without. Not bad, just not my taste. I highly recommend Heim! read more

Decided to stop in mid errand run. I love smoked turkey so I went with the turkey breast sandwich. Also ordered a side of large fries and Cole slaw to share. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich. The restaurant is very clean and has very well organized stations. I love the touch of white loaf bread by the condiment section. The fries are perfect. The coleslaw is diff more pickled and not very mayo based. Still good. The sandwich was perfect the bread is toasted and yummy. The meat is perfect. Now that bar b que sauce on the table is fantastic. I could eat a pint of it. Haha Can't wait to go back and try the bacon ends and the Mac and cheese looks fantastic. read more

The brisket sandwich was good and juicy but the bbq sauce was overly sweet to me. read more

Had an amazing Texas BBQ experience at @heimbarbecue, home of the bacon burnt ends! My mom's flight was delayed so this location right outside of Love Field Airport was the perfect spot to feed my belly while I waited for her. Here's what I got! Bacon Burnt Ends- I was blown away by how tender and perfectly seasoned they were, bbq sauce definitely wasn't needed at all! Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage- Just the right amount of heat, plump, and savory! Collard Greens- Addicting, cooked perfectly with just a slight hint of sweetness. Twice Baked Potato Salad- Flavor packed and creamy just like I like it! I know Texas is known for its BBQ, but until I visited Heim hadn't been to a Texas BBQ spot that really impressed me much. Heim does it right! Way to represent!! I can't wait to dine again. read more

First off, the decor of the restaurant is urban modern and very clean. The roof, however, does tend to leak. Surprise! As for the staff, they were very good. Helpful and friendly, they went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. My wife ordered the bacon burnt ends, and they were amazing. I got the rib plate, and while they were equally tasty, they were a touch on the chewy side in places. As for the sides, we shared the cole slaw and the potato salad. Both were very good, but it would help if the cabbage were cut a bit smaller. Either way, it was all tasty. read more

5/21/25 Two star review for our visit today. Cashier was not friendly. BBQ (pulled pork and sausage) was mediocre to taste. I needed a lot of sauce to pick up the flavor. Presentation was good though. Restaurants vibe was very nice and clean. Perhaps all the businesses and the airport drive this restaurant. In my opinion the taste will not be memorable. read more

The service was good, the atmosphere was ok. BBQ was just ok, not great. I ordered onion rings and they gave me 3, did not care for the potatoe skins. It was just peelings. One person had just a sandwich. 2 of us split a meal. And 1 person had a meal. Had 1 happy hour snack. $140 later we left. Probably will not be back. read more

We ordered the brisket, ribs, onion rings, brisket sliders, friend okra and fries. The brisket did not disappoint, they melted in the mouth. The onion rings were huge, they were the size of a doughnut, ribs did not feel too special, fried okra can be skipped if you are not familiar with it. Servers are nice and I liked the atmosphere. Outside seating was nice but right next to a busy road. read more

Seeing this restaurants 2019 pitmaster award, I am happy to have tried their brisket. I have to come back the next time I fly to Dallas love airport! Though I only had a 1/4 lb of brisket, I had a lot of smoked flavor -especially burnt ends. The green chile mac and cheese was spicy good and unique. It's not simply peppered, as I can taste the chile in each bite. The servers were very welcoming and even gave me a compliment. This is encouraging for me wanting to come back with a happy atmosphere! I can't wait to bring friends and family to one of the top BBQ restaurants! read more

So this is a newer place near the Dallas Love Airport. It's a cool looking restaurant and is always busy with people who work around that area. This isn't my first time to here since when I stay in Dallas it seems to be at the hotel right next to this place. The BBQ overall is good, is there better in Dallas? I think so, but it's a solid bbq joint that I think will make you smile and make your tastebuds dance. This time around I got the sliced brisket sandwich with onion rings. The sandwich came with about 1/2 pound of thick cut brisket on it. The brisket was very well seasoned and has a great smoke flavor without overpowering the taste of the brisket. There was a mix on my sandwich of the point and the flat and I will have to say that the flat was a little dry, drier than a flat should be. But over all a great sandwich. I threw on some onions and pickles and some of their awesome bbq sauce. Their sauce is tomato based but has a vinegar kick and isn't too spicy but has a little to let you know it's there. Overall a solid sandwich. This will set you back at $16. The onion rings looked amazing and so I had to try them. They are homemade, hand dipped onion rings. They are huge! I was so excited about them. Unfortunately if I was eating just the rings it would be maybe 3 stars. They had great crisp to them but no flavor. No seasoning in the batter they used, no seasoning when they came out of the fryer and a little greasy when you ate them. They could use some help. Solid performance I will be back again because it's close and it's good. read more

I am going to start out by saying you get what you pay for. And Heim certainly isnt cheap, but by far it has some of the best meat we have had at a BBQ place in DFW. For 2 sandwiches, 2 sides, 1 drink and a dessert it was over $50. BUT it was more than filing and the food was quality. My favorite part is the mac and cheese which has a little kick to it! read more

The food is always great here. Legendary has it the owners worked at Franklin. I don't know about that, but that's what people say. The atmosphere is very casual and low key. The service is basically nonexistent by design. You order at the counter, they call your number. You get your own refills. I don't mind the extra steps as they help burn off some of the 16,000 calories you'll eat. We went last, close to closing time, so they were not at their best. I find the food is usually best around lunch. The burnt ends are the star of the show. Always love the brisket, but it felt like it had been sitting. Usually it is better. Maybe it was an off night. All in all one of the best bbq spots in Dallas. read more
