Very very disappointed in the quality and price ordered the beef rib meat was burnt from end to end paid $116 for 95% fat, it appeared every thing was prepared this way. That is not barbecue. Most definitely will not return! read more

Food was awesome! Quick service and efficient with order process. Beef rib and wagyu brisket are definitely the must try for first time visitors! Turkey was moist and great flavor, both sausages were on point as well! The sides did not disappoint either! 3 cheese Mac n cheese was the table favorite! Definitely will be back! The patio area is shaded and relaxing with tvs to watch the games! read more

OAK'D BBQ - Beef rib, turkey, wagyu brisket, jalapeño and cracked pepper sausage, 3 cheese Mac n cheese, roasted bacon Brussels, cauliflower. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The barbecue we had was exceptionally delicious; every dish was fantastic, and I will definitely be going back for more.

The Wagyu Brisket alone was worth the visit and the Smoked Turkey Breast was a close second. I also appreciated the pickles/onions which isn't as common at every BBQ spot. Sides wise- I did not love the baked beans or Mac and Cheese (nothing wrong, they just weren't my favorite) but the potato salad and brussel sprouts were spot on. Don't forget to grab some dessert on your way out- I got some sort of Whiskey Butter pie that was excellent after a night out in Deep Ellum! read more

Saw this spot before they opened and finally got a chance to check them out. I ordered for my family of four to go, but it's an attractive restaurant and location. They even have a bar with TVs and live music which makes a great atmosphere to hang out,...well, ya know minus Covid and all. I had: Pork Spare ribs-ok. Wouldn't be my go to spot for ribs Brisket-fantastic! Moist and tender with good flavor. I think it's kobe or some special beef. Smoked Turkey-this was probably the best. Really good. Smoked chicken-didn't have the seasoning or flavor I wanted. Rather bland. This was the last to go. Cole slaw-very good. So good I made a sandwich with the brisket and it was to die for! BBQ beans-didn't seem to give the same attention to this as other sides. Tasted like caned beans with meat in it. Stuffed Jalapeños-appetizers that will fill you up. A lot of cream cheese and a lot of chopped beef. I hope they thrive because it's a great spot. But the bbq lacked real wood smoke flavor for me. The price reflects the real estate, not the quality of food. read more

First time to visit. Nathan, the pit boss, gave us samples. We choose the pork burnt ends, pork ribs and brisket. OMG, heavenly. !!!!! He then he showed me the smokers and talked about where they were made and just showed me around. Everything there is scratch made and you can tell. Next visit is other meats AND deserts (carrot cake and banana pudding) read more

As soon as we came in on Sunday 2-4-22, we were warmly greeted and didn't feel rushed as we moved along the line and ordered. All were helpful and provided suggestions. Everything we had was fantastic though. We had the pulled pork, prime brisket, wagyu sausage links, mac and cheese, and steak fries. The cookies are excellent as well. I'm a red cream soda with my BBQ type of girl and they had Dublin there. If your concern is that it doesn't smell like smoke, step outside onto the large beautiful patio and smell it for yourself out there. You can tell that everyone who works there, including the owner, puts their heart into this restaurant. Overall, we really enjoyed it and will be back! read more

Came for dinner tonight with my husband to try this place for the first time and will not be returning. I ordered the two meat plate which is plated immediately and my husband ordered a burger which took over 30 minutes to come out. Fortunately I had plenty that he could eat while we waited but by the time his food finally came I had been done eating for a good 10-15 minutes. My husband had to go up to the front three separate times to ask about it and finally was given the response that it was being remade. Once it came out there was no attempt at an apology or explanation which was a bit frustrating. I'll also add that there were maybe 20 people in the restaurant and not busy at all so not entirely sure what happened. read more

Visited Oak'd for the first time this weekend and the experience was great. The staff was attentive and friendly. Tori was great and made excellent spicy bloody Mary's. Our table of 6 all agreed that you must try the Wagyu Brisket, a biscuit, and the cole slaw.... Thank you Michael for the behind the scenes look at the smokers! read more

Was amazing! Some of the best BBQ that I have had in a long time! The wagyu brisket is off the charts! Employees were nice and helpful As well! read more

OAK'D BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Awesome BBQ! I have been to this place at least 6 times and 3days in a row within one week! They are friendly and the ambiance is nice with a modern western vibe. Don't forget dessert it's delicious! read more

Since I posted my review, the restaurant seems to have hired a number of new staff, and since then I've found service both much faster and more cheerful. I'm delighted that the management has responded to the problem and made its wonderful food easier to buy. Bravo! read more

Service was amazing, or I would've given it 3 stars. The food is decently priced. It's cold though, so don't expect a hot meal. Even the sandwich was cold. Fries were the only thing warm. read more

I thought this place was really good - I tried it on a whim. If you like smoky BBQ, this is your place. If you are averse to smoke, it may be too much. The collard greens as a side were terrific. I also had brisket and pulled pork - both were excellent. The two meat platter is certainly plenty of food too. I was hungry and didn't finish everything. Give this place a try! read more

Let's just say I won't be going back. 3 ribs and 4 pieces of burnt ends was $40 dollars and it had no flavor.

Employees were horribly rude, but the meat / sauce was good! We were so excited to try it out since the restaurant is so close to us, but with that kind of service, this place will shut down soon. We should have trusted the empty parking lot...but that said, if they hired better employees, this place has the ability to be great!! read more

One of the best BBQ places in DFW. Serves breakfast, and typically don't have to wait very long. Owner Mike is very knowledgeable and believes in customer service. Though I am on the keto diet, so I can't testify to all of the food offers - one thing I can speak on is the actual meat - which is what it all boils down to. The BBQ is a 10 out of 10. read more

Good food, even better service. The owner Mike is really great. My fave are the pork burnt ends and love the overall local feel ambiance.

The menu came almost as quick as the food. Staff was super attentive and friendly. Asked for a drink modification from the menu and they accommodated. I recommend for a relaxed casual vibe. read more

Place has a great vide and even better people. When walking in the smells give you all you need to know

My family and friends had an excellent lunch here today. Everyone was pleased with their ribs, brisket and pork. The Mac n cheese and Brussel sprouts were delicious. The desserts were just as good. The wait staff was super friendly. We will be back! read more

This BBQ would be barely okay way up north but not in TX. They didn't have the two things I wanted most (beef burnt ends and Beef ribs) so I tried their "moistest brisket they got" and was recommended their pork burnt ends so tried those. The cubes of pork were not soft and were not good. Not one person from my group ate their whole cube. Pathetic. Then the brisket was slightly better but absolutely not worth over thirty per pound. Being honest it's really not worth half that, most backyard neighbor briskets are better. My group talked and agreed on 4/10 so that's how we got to two stars. Either they had a bad day or the good reviews are from folks who never had good bbq. No leftovers taken read more

The food was amazing!!!! The portion was very filling and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely recommend this place!

Just had take out from Oak'd in Old Town for the first time. We feel like we are connoisseurs of bbq. We are both 2nd generation native Dallasites. We often take day trips and weekends excursions to try out bbq that is getting some buzz. This may now be our go to for in town bbq. We had prime brisket, pork ribs, and burnt end. The brisket was very good. All were great and needed no sauce. However, we did try the sauces and liked both. The sides were good too. We had macaroni and cheese and greens. The best greens I've ever had at a restaurant. Although we ordered take out today, we will be back to sit down in this laid back restaurant. I like that it was a traditional "go through the line" bbq spot but offered comfortable seating inside. There are other well known bbq spots in town that ruin it for me with fancy trappings, ridiculous wait staff, and the valet parking and long wait. There also is a surprise little patio not visible from the street. Also, the bar would be a great place to get some great food, a beer, and watch a game. Just to top it off- they are nice. Friendly (but not in my business) service that creates a comfortable atmosphere. Lastly, it was reasonably priced. I would include a pic but there is nothing left and now I need a nap. read more

This place was awesome. Some of the best in Dallas. I'd put them in my Top 10. Brisket was perfect. Atmosphere was great. Beer was cold. Doesn't get much better. read more

Visited fir the first time yesterday and it was really good! I had the chopped beef sandwich and my coworkers had sliced beef and a burger. All the sandwiches were piled high, hot and tasty. We had enough to take home. They loved the fries and the Mac/cheese was AWESOME! The owner was there and he was attentive and friendly. The guy who made the sandwiches should be commended for his customer service skills. I'll definitely go back! Overall very good experience read more

BBQ and jalapeño cheddar sausage (cheddar wasn't overpowering) are so good. We recommend the Mac & cheese and greens. Also, normally we wouldn't try the Carolina sauce because it's too sweet, not the case here. Definitely a must try read more

OAK'D BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great post oak smoked BBQ, this has been my once a week go-to for almost a year now. I usually order the BLT..candied bacon, Turkey and lettuce. I have them add jalapeño cheddar sausage. I've tried it all and it is consistently good-to-great bbq. Sides are very tasty, cucumber salad, greens and Brussels sprouts are very good. The carb-laden sides are also tasty. Michael, the owner is very personable and the staff are super friendly. Have to try the Moscow Mule after noon if that's your thing!! read more

Second time was a charm. We had the BEST brisket burgers with blue cheese & candied bacon. And the Brussels sprouts & Cole slaw were exceptional as were the spicy pickles. Super clean, friendly neighborhood vibe. Mike the proprietor was there overseeing , conscientious & kind. We will definitely be back . Nice to have this place in town. read more

Great food! Brisket sandwich is so good aswell as the turkey!! 10/10 would recommend. Ask for Nate he's the best!

We came here twice because the food was so good. The first time we got meat plates and sides. The Mac and Cheese was delicious. The chicken and burnt ends were also amazing. The brussel sprouts, cucumber salad, and broccoli salad was ok. The second time we came we had The Governor it was a mouth orgasm. We ordered a quesadilla for the kids with no meat, but it came out with peppers and onions in it. They didn't tell us that quesadillas would take 15 minutes. The area is great for kids and family. read more

My wife, my son and I visited this nice place on 12/15/22 at 5.10 pm The guy at the front cutting the meats and preparing the baskets was great, very friendly, nice person, as well as the cashier. but not the other guy (wearing a beard) who was serving the sides, he was very rude to us. My wife asked him to put a side on her plate and he did not want to. we did question him as to why, his response you will figure it out at the end of the line. I asked the cashier if he was in a bad mood or something, it seemed like he was very uncomfortable serving us. the cashier said do not pay attention to him he is always like that. I am sure your business has a lot of clients I do not doubt that, the place is very nice and the food is great. I am sure he will not miss us anytime. Thanks. M. de Santiago read more

Had a great experience at Oak'd BBQ! Go here for the amazing wings and frozen ranch water! The atmosphere is welcoming and they have some amazing homemade pastries. Next time I visit I want to try the s'mores pie! The live music they have on Friday night and weekends is great. Absolutely recommend visiting for a new BBQ spot in Dallas! read more

Brisket is my favorite cut of meat for barbecue. Oak'd did not disappoint. Sides were out of this world. Excellent portions. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious place. Favorite thing here (which isn't always available) is the Wagyu beef rib. 1.5 pounds of tender glory. Might be the best beef rib I've had in Dallas so far, and that says a lot!! read more

Great bbq. The smell of the smoker hits you in the most appetizing way as you walk in. Their burnt end, brisket, Mac and cheese, and collard greens are out of this world. Wash it down with a good drink from their full bar. read more

Food, I had two coworkers with me two had the two meat plate and one had the pulled pork sandwich and sausage. We must have come on an off day. the brisket had a good bark but the flavor wasn't as good as it should be. I'm a native born Texan who has managed a BBQ restaurant in Denton during college days. it tasted like it had been shipped in but they have very nice smokers out back. it had good bark and very moist. it might have been sitting in their holding unit wrapped in plastic too long. the pulled pork sandwich was good so I hear. the ribs I had were very moist almost too much. they also didn't maintain the smoke flavor all the way through. it was Friday lunch time and the place was almost empty. The Sauces were different , the regular was way too vinegar, don't inhale or you'll choke on it. the Carolina which I exp to have vinegar was quite mild and did remind me of any Carolina I had ever had. I suggest they add a Third sauce closer to Texas norms. the buttermilk pie was nice. all of us had gut and digestive issues that day and the next morning. must have been the sauce. atmosphere would be great on a warm afternoon . read more

Really solid bbq. I've eaten here about 5 times and it's consistently very good. The brisket is outstanding and ribs are excellent too. The desert area creeps me out a little though as it's just a little too nice. You think you're at the Cheesecake Factory when you're in the desert corner and the bar makes you think your at TGI Fridays. But outside of a too fancy desert and bar area the place is great. I realize I'm being picky, but it's hard to get that 5th star out of me. read more

Last week, I stumbled onto Oak'd while looking for a place to eat in the upper Greenville district; Lucky me! When I saw that they had wagyu beef ribs, I was excited and ordered one. As a BBQ snob, I have been to most of the big names in Austin and DFW. In my opinion, this is one of the best beef ribs I have ever had! Excellent balanced flavor that was not overpowered by the smoke. The mac & cheese was also above average; cheesy and delicious! After lunch I had one of their chocolate chip cookies, which is sprinkled with a touch of salt. Wow, now I don't know if I can tell you which is better, the cookie or the rib!!! Just get both and decide for yourself!! I did not have enough of the other meats, but I look forward to my next visit so I can sample the holy trinity of Texas BBQ and an amazing array of desserts! Well done Oak'd!! read more

I feel the need to start out by telling everyone that I am a Memphian. My father competed for years in the Memphis in May Barbeque Fest. I have a pretty good grasp on what is good and what is meh as far as BBQ goes. This place is good, ya'll. It was a little pricey, but that was on us. Everything looked so good; we definitely over-ordered. The prices are higher than average, but it can still be an affordable date night! Definitely go. Get the bread pudding. Or the banoffee. If you're searching for some good BBQ in north Texas, this place is legit. Whatever hype you may have heard, it's worth it. read more
