Lights out! It was a pleasant surprise stumbling across this place and so nice to have an awesome spot out this way. It is a must try!

We went for the soft opening. Food was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. We will be back.

The BBQ Brisket sandwich was very tender and didn't need any BBQ sauce. It is a classic Texas BBQ sandwich and atmosphere. I'll have to go back and try the ribs. They looked good. read more

No I grew up in this town remember when this place used to be a lot of things but by God this barbecues the best one yet

Great bbq - we came in right before close and scooped up a delicious meal. Owners and staff were great!

My grandson and I had the Smash Mouth Burgers and fries, they were GREAT!! He said it was the Best burger he has had. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Favorite BBQ in the Haslet area!! Their turkey is my personal favorite. Everything I've eaten there is absolutely delicious and always have amazing service! read more

What an amazing local BBQ joint! When you walk in you go straight to the ordering counter with a large chalkboard style menu. From there they have self-service drink fountain area and a cooler of free beer if you choose to indulge. The seating area has only a few tables and it filled up quick. The food was ready very fast! Now the moment you're waiting for ... the taste ... the meats tasted nothing short of AMAZING! Everything was delicious! I had ordered the two-meat plate with jalapeño sausage and chopped brisket with Mac n cheese and green beans. The meats are top notch indeed. The sides were average and standard flavors. I sampled the black pepper sausage and sliced brisket from my dinner companions and those were equally amazing. The green chili creamed corn is probably the best side on the menu! My only suggestion would be that the papers they have at the front counter with their specials should be positioned on a stand or something at eye level - for me personally I didn't readily notice the paper laying flat on the counter. Thankful to only live five minutes away from this awesome local restaurant! We will be back for more delicious BBQ! read more

Tried LocalCraft for the first time yesterday and it was GREAT. They do know how to do BBQ. Well worth the drive! Give them a try!

Everything was awesome! We eat BBQ often, and this place is in the running for the best we've ever had! We came in at 5:45 and they were sold out of quite a few items, but still had a great selection available and the service was great. The food we got was 5/5. read more

Food is delicious! Catering is priced fairly and delivered on-time. My favorite is the stuff baked potato with brisket.

Sliced brisket out of this world! Employees are super friendly and all food is excellent!

The food was good but a tad spicy on the sauce (for me). I got a pulled pork sandwich and the bun was a brioche bun that soaked up the sauce. If you are a local, it is a good quick stop for yummy BBQ. read more

Wow, everything was delicious. Ordered the Really Big Pack to feed 4 adults and 5 young adults. It included 4 lbs of meat, 3 large sides and rolls. Brisket was amazing, I had them pack up extra 2 lbs of brisket to go for family coming over. Will be back soon! read more

Very good Texas BBQ place off the beaten path.. burgers are very good as are the bbq...

We got takeout for a family celebration. Wow! The smoked turkey, sausages, brisket, and pulled pork were amazing!!! The turkey was so moist and flavorful and was my personal favorite, but all of the meats were fantastic. You can't go wrong! read more

Delicious BBQ. The service is extremely polite and considerate. I would recommend this place for anyone who enjoys great BBQ

First time guests at LocalCraft BBQ. Stopped in for a bite of lunch on a Saturday. It has a great local hometown feel to it and the food was fresh and well presented. Sliced Turkey, green beans and baked beans ate highly recommended. Also, the OMG Sandwich with sliced BBQ and sausage covered in melted cheese on a toasted bun was the bomb! We'll be back! Bobby H.

The brisket was tender and flavorful, quite good, as was the baked potato salad; however, the baked beans were nothing to write home about because they lacked distinctive flavor or ingenuity. read more

Outstanding food with great sides good portions I loved the rib the best! No other bbq in the area has the same taste!

I've been following this restaurant since they opened and was waiting for a good time to go. Today was the day and they did not disappoint. I ordered the sliced brisket sandwich with side of Baked Potato Salad. For dessert I ordered the banana pudding. It was ALL good! They are now at the top of my list for food BBQ in the area. They use post oak wood to smoke their meats which is sooooo good! Not sure if the buns used for the sandwiches are house made or came from elsewhere but also tasty. They have a bit of a sweet taste to them. Their grand opening is this Saturday(April 23rd). Please go and check them out, you won't be sorry! read more

All is good here. Food. Service. Sides. Really clean. Nice people. Portions are commensurate with prices. Really good barbecue.

"Barbeque may not be the road to world peace but it's a start," told us Anthony Bourdain. After eating at Local Craft BBQ I feel like I started on the road and reached my destination all in one meal! Of course, brisket is the real measure of how good BBQ is, so being my first time, I got the brisket. Ordered at the counter and picked up my meal from the window, the "service" was a minimal task really and I don't know how to give it any stars. "Here's what you can get here." "Here's your food cooked and plated." "Glad you enjoyed it!" I gave a 15% tip for that. Were the staff people nice? Yes! Absolutely nice! Had they been anything less than nice, it would have given me reason to deflate my rating. But they were charming, friendly and did their jobs well. They didn't really do anything more than plate the food for me, but that's okay. Now I have my expectations set, let them be your expectations too! Go here for some of the best brisket barbecue you'll ever have! Go again because, just like everyone says, it simply is that good! The sauce was a perfect blend between sweet and hot. The brisket was tender and smoked to perfection. The tables, floors and serving areas were spotlessly clean. And the staff did a fine job. Yep! I'll be going again! read more

Food is delicious. Everyone in there is super friendly. Great atmosphere and great location.

Amazing BBQ topped off by an incredible friendly customer service! Pork Burnt ends and brisket were off the chart tasty!!!

So good! Love that we have a great local BBQ place! Great atmosphere, great food, and people are friendly! Can't wait to return!

Legitimately the best bbq. We moved out of the area days after they opened. Whenever we are visiting family in that area we make sure to stop. read more

I just had lunch at Local Craft BBQ after hearing about it on social media. I live in Collin County, but the reviews of this place made me want to try it out. I have to say the drive was WELL WORTH IT. That was some of the best BBQ I've ever had and I will be going back to try some other items on the menu. Hands down the Brisket is the best I've ever eaten. You truly get your money's worth at Local Craft. The sides are incredible and the dessert menu was worth a try...specifically the peanut butter banana pudding! It was different for me, but I ended up eating the whole portion and I was not disappointed! If it wasn't for my wife asking me to bring some brisket home, I would have finished off everything I had on my tray. Brisket sandwich tomorrow though!!!! I will definitely make the trek back to Local Craft!! read more

Holy cow! Best BBQ in DFW from my perspective, especially if you are a fan of turkey and pork options. We used to drive 30 min to other good BBQ joints, but no more! Will be back here often. Also, free beer...say whaat! read more

This place is a chip of the old rock. If you know 407 BBQ you know this place, and that's a great compliment. This place does Brisket and Ribs right. The sausage is on point, and sides are awesome. If you are in the area, or even if it's a drive, this place won't disappoint. read more

Fantastic food great people work there best Barbeque ever decor on walls & floor great also

Meal was really good. My spouse and I both got the 2 meat plate so we could try most of the meats and sides. Will be returning!

Food was great and service was quick! Ambiance was a family environment with the possibility to have entertainment.

you will need a pillow and a comforter after eat at this amazing place. service is outstanding. we love this place.

Our first visit here, I had the smoked bologna and my wife had the pulled pork. Both were good, slaw and potato salad were mayonnaise based. Peach cobbler and bread pudding were good. We will be back. read more

By far the best BBQ in the area. I've tried everything and it's all great. Nice to have this quality of BBQ here.

Good food the pork belly is amazing the brisket is really good the black pepper sausage is good my only complaint is they need to cut back on the salt a little the brisket and pork belly was just to salty read more

Very yummy food, and fast and friendly service! The brisket is the star of the show, you definitely have to try some!

We had been driving home to New Mexico from Galveston and realized we had better have lunch in the Ft Worth area before continuing on for another 9 hours in the car. I lucked out by seeing this place that was only a couple miles off our route. We felt we needed some real Texas BBQ before leaving the state so we figured the minor detour would be worth and and OH MAN, we were right! We have 6 kids so we got the really big plate and got the brisket, pulled pork, jalapeño sausage, ribs, pork belly, green beans, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. It's truly difficult to pick my favorite item.... Ok it was probably the brisket because seriously y'all, I'm gunna have dreams over how amazing it was! The green beans were as downright comforting as a vegetable can be and my oldest son is still talking about them! Everything was truly delicious. As if the food wasn't enough of a glowing review to get your butt over here, the people were even better! They were so so kind and it felt like we were having a meal with family. I am so glad we stumbled upon this place and we will undoubtedly be back the next time we are in the area. But if y'all could do me a favor if you happen to live in this neck of the woods, go in an have some gosh darn great food for me! Here's to delicious brisket dreaming until we can get back there! read more

Had the brisket and sausage with creamed corn and beans, everything was great! Definitely worth a trip.
