    Overall, I dont think I will come back. The service was great, staff members were super nice but the food was pretty disappointing. Ordered: beef burnt ends, wagyu brisket, brisket (moist), sausage, mac and cheese and potato salad. When they were silcing the briskets, it looked delicious since you could see how moist it was. But, it ended up being very dry and lacked flavor. Burnt ends were hard and super chewy. The sausage was the only meat that was solid. The side dishes were decent. Considering all the other BBQs available, this was disappointing.

    We've been going to Oak'd for several years now and I had previously reviewed it, giving it very high marks in all areas. In fact, I was not even planning on writing this review, but today's dining experience cannot go without my sharing some thoughts on it. Over the years, we've always enjoyed Oak'd and even felt comfortable and confident enough in the quality of food to invite out of town guests to join us for some good Texas BBQ at Oak'd Prior to today's visit, our most recent visit was about six months ago, and even then we noticed a little slippage in quality. Although then it had mostly to do with the Sides and not so much to do with meat offerings. Today, it was everything, except the service and staff which as always, was excellent! Today, we sought to order a Beef Rib, but the Ribs were about two hours out from being ready, so at the recommendation of the Meat Man doing the carving, we opted for variety; my wife ordered the Two Meat Plate and I had the Three Meat. My wife chose a double portion of "moist" Wagyu Brisket from the "Point," and I ordered moist Wagyu Brisket, the Garlic and Black Pepper Sausage Link and, Pork Spare Ribs. Sadly and much to our dismay, all of the moist Brisket lost almost all of its moistness and succulence by the time we reached our table! Likewise, the Spare Ribs ended up also being more on the dry side, rather than moist and tasty. The Garlic-Black Pepper Sausage was tasty and ended up being the highlight of my meal. For Sides, my wife and I shared Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Cauliflower, BBQ Baked Beans, Collard Greens, and Apple Cider Coleslaw. The Brussel Sprouts had little flavor from the Balsamic seasoning and were quite drenched and oily/greasy. The Cauliflower was hit and miss, with some pieces over-done. The Beans were heavy on the jalapeño spice, about a "3" on the heat scale for me, a "5" for my wife. The Beans were not what I would consider "BBQ Baked," because there was no real sweetness to them, at all. It could be, that in the past the Beans were exactly like they were today and I just ate them without really expecting any sweetness, since I do like Charro Beans (and the Beans at Oak'd are somewhat flavored like Charros), and previously, I was not missing any sweetness in the meal overall. Today, however, I was missing the sweetness, because the BBQ Sauce was strong in vinegar/acidity and totally lacked sweetness. So, I was yearning for something sweet and it just never really came! I hoped for sweetness in the Coleslaw, but that too was only minimally sweet, before being overpowered by the taste of apple cider vinegar. And, because neither the BBQ Sauce nor the Beans, nor the Coleslaw had any real sweetness to them, I totally left my Dill Pickle Chips alone and untouched. And, I as well held off dousing some vinegar over my Greens, as I normally would, because I was just done with the acidity level of the meal. Flavor-wise, I think I would have enjoyed the Greens, were I to be eating them apart from the meal with say, a slice of cornbread. But, that wasn't on the menu today. In addition to that above, the regular BBQ Sauce was also a little bit spicy; about a "1" on the heat scale. I'm not really a fan of Carolina (Mustard-based) Sauce but, to me, even the Carolina Sauce had a hint more sweetness than the regular Sauce. I was really taken aback! It is noteworthy that the Dill Chips, Onion Slices, and Freshly Sliced Jalapeño that I received were all very fresh! But, I only ate a little of the Onions and Jalapeño Slices. I would like to think and hope that today's experience at Oak'd was an anomaly or one off, but most of what we experienced seemed more like failings in quality control. And with that, it will likely take a serious hankering for BBQ and us being in the neighborhood, to make us want to eat at Oak'd again... at least for a long while. I hope should you give Oak'd a try, there will have been some attention given to quality control, including verifying some recipes to ensure flavor profiles are up to par. As mentioned, the staff at Oak'd is and always has been great, so for their sake I would like to see this business succeed! Best of luck, should you give it a go! Eat well. Be well. Cheers!

    Interior at lunchtime- a little slow for a weekday around noon.

    Of course I had to try the four meat combo on my first visit to Oak'd. i got brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, and turkey. The other three were good (burnt ends a little dry), but I mist say the turkey was great! It tasted like there was a savory marinade applied before smoking the turkey breast. I like that they cut all of the meat right in front of you as well. The team was friendly, but a little more reserved than generally at restaurants. Being a weekday at lunchtime, the dining area was a bit slower than expected, but still clean and well kept.

    Amazing BBQ spot with generous portion sizes and tons of meat and sides options. Ordering is done at the counter and you can buy meats by the pound or as a plate with 2-4 meats and 2 sides for dine in or takeout. We got the brisket, ribs, and burnt ends. The brisket was the highlight of the meal, it was so incredibly juicy and tender, decided to get an extra portion the moment they sliced into it. For sides, there's a range of hot and cold sides. We got baked beans which were very hearty and cucumber salad was a light, refreshing touch to this BBQ plate. Beyond the food, this restaurant is very down to earth with self seating indoors, outdoor on the patio, or at the bar. No worrying about servers interrupting you mid chew. Overall this is an incredible spot for a great BBQ meal and I'm looking forward to coming back for more of their amazing brisket.

    I've been to just about every DFW bbq restaurant and this is by far the BEST BBQ place. The brisket was tender!! It's prime meat or wagyu which makes a tremendous difference in comparison to choice or select quality of meat. The brisket was tender, juice and perfection. Same with the chicken. 10 out of 10. Excellent work! When you walk in to the restaurant, you order your food and they serve you. Then you take your plate and sit wherever. They do not have servers so you are responsible to take your dirty tray and put it up which is great. The atmosphere is great for large parties and the outdoor patio is also nice during warm weather days. We also got the pecan pie, definitely homemade and that was also exceptional! I highly recommend this BBQ restaurant you won't be disappointed!

    Texas BBQ at its finest! The chopped brisket and spicy bbq sauce were on point. Not an ounce of fat, but chock full of flavor. It's obvious that the pit master takes pride in his/her craft. We also loved the Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes which were mouthwateringly delicious. Clean, fantastic service and as authentic as it gets. Plus bonus points for parking. Thank you for a phenomenal experience!

    So, this is my first time here at this location, and I've been meaning to try it. It's a barbecue place, and I'm really glad I came in. The people in line are amazing--very friendly and energetic. They make you feel welcome and give off good vibes. I ordered the three-meat plate with brisket, turkey, and sausage, and then the guy asked, "Do you wanna try a Texas Twinkie?" It's a jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in Wagyu meat. Oh my God, it was so damn good--I wanted to get another one. This is a must-try. The brisket was tender and flavorful, the mac and cheese was delicious, and so were the beans. I sat down at the bar. They have a full bar with beer on tap and can mix good classic cocktails. Kevin is an amazing bartender; he made me a negroni and an old-fashioned--full of energy, a great guy. So if you're in the Greenville area and want some good barbecue, come out and try them. I guarantee you'll love this place--you won't regret it. It's a nice, chill vibe with good energy. Oh, and they also have an outdoor patio.

    Went during lunch time and there was no line compared to other bbq places in Dallas. The sausage was amazing however the brisket was quite expensive for what we received. It looked really juicy but the taste didn't match. A nice place to relax and grab a drink.

    Texas BBQ in the homeland of BBQ Parking: Easy! Lots of space as it is in a strip mall of sorts Drinks: Went for lunch and we had lemonade. Was quite good! Food: sooooo many options. We had wagyu brisket, regular brisket, sausage, Mac and cheese, collared greens, Brussels sprouts, pork ribs and French fries. Yes...a feast at lunch! Everything tasted delicious. I felt my wagyu was a bit too fatty but everyone else loved it. The Mac and cheese was AMAZING!!! I also appreciated that they served the Brussel sprouts without bacon. They also had beef ribs available for those who don't eat pork. Service: one of the guys behind the serving area seemed to be annoyed we had so many questions. We aren't from Texas and were just visiting so would have liked him to be a bit more understanding. The rest of the folks were super nice so we quickly forgot about the grumpy cat. Atmosphere/vibe: went for lunch. It was fairly empty but that was just fine with us! Age group: I'd imagine all! Bathroom: worked and was clean so A+ from me! Return: sure!

    When in Texas, BBQ is the way to go. I ordered wagyu briskets, pork ribs and stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon. For the sides, i had the brussels sprouts and coleslaw. The Brussels were so good. They put dried berries and almonds in it. The briskets were so juicy and tender. The only disappointment was when i got the meat, they were towards the cold side.

    Me and my family were visiting Dallas and decided to try oak'd and I can tell you that it is worth the hype. We got the 3 meat family platter and it was amazing, the wagyu brisket was so tender and juicy. Great customer service, great food, what more can you ask for!

Everything we ordered was tender, moist, incredibly flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care. It's not cheap--we spent about $77--but after eating it, I will say it was worth the price. The pastrami brisket was the standout for me. Perfectly seasoned, ridiculously tender, and packed with flavor. The burnt end beans were another must-order--smoky, rich, and loaded with pieces of meat. The beef cheek with chimichurri was also incredible; melt-in-your-mouth tender, with the chimichurri adding the perfect freshness to cut through the richness. Honestly, though, there wasn't a bad thing on the tray. Everything was delicious, from the meats to the sides. You can taste the quality and the time that goes into the food. $77 well spent. Cattleack is absolutely worth the stop, and I'd come back just for that pastrami brisket.

I read about the long lines and the lack of parking, but when I visited, it was maybe an hour before they closed, so I was actually able to find parking right outside the front door, and there was no line. There were also plenty of seating inside. When I got there, they were out of certain items, but that was expected since they are in high demand. Since it was just me, I ordered half a pound of brisket and half a pound of ribs along with a side of mac and cheese. To be honest, it did not live up to its hype. The brisket was a little dry, and for how much they charge per pound, I was expecting more meat than fat. The ribs were my favorite, and the mac and cheese was ok too. I got my order to go, and they only gave me a few sandwich bread slices and like 2 small containers of pickles. I think next time IF i go and IF i happen to be in the area i will try to eat inside that way I can get more of the bread/pickles because i love those on my BBQ.

The ribs were good but I've had better. The brisket though, was just beyond reproach.

    Hey Lockhart Smokehouse!…read more (And I'm curious WHY you are called Lockhart - 'cause I used to live in Austin, TX, and going to Lockhart for BBQ was one of our favorite Friday afternoon excursions...) The vibe in this place is really great. The people are friendly. Downtown Plano is cool. The restaurant and bar area are clean, well-attended, and the food and drink are all good. So why only 3-stars? To be fair, I came here on a weeknight around 6:30pm, which is not the best way to judge a BBQ place. I will try to come back on a Friday at lunch time, and I hope things will be epic. Bottom line, I wasn't blown away by the meats! They were well cooked, but the flavor just didn't impress. The Sause (sorry, I'm a Rudy's loyalist) was tasty, but didn't blow my mind. A nice sweet + smoky flavor that worked better with the Spare Ribs than the Brisket. (Another minot note -- I know a lot of BBQ places eschew Baby Back Ribs for Spare Ribs. Lockhart only does Spare Ribs.) Would I come back? 100% Would I recommend that you go here? 100% I have to say the bartender was terrific, and the pit masters were super friendly, so no dis on the staff. I was just hoping for "oh my god" BBQ and didn't quite get there. Still a great visit.

This time, I had birria tacos on my mind.

There is a line that steadily moves, nice outdoor and indoor seating, and if you walk towards the back you can see all the smokers. If you visit on a weekend, try to arrive before noon to avoid long lines. 1 Star. Service - You place your order, take a number, and your order is brought out to you. While you don't get to see the staff cut your meat in front of you, they are very fast and efficient. There are also Hurtado staff who will clear plates off your table. Great people here. 1 Star. Food - I came for the Birria tacos. Hurtado uses their smoked brisket, which shredded and paired will all things that make Hurtado special - Mexico flavors (cilantro, onions, and that beefy consommé). I also ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and bacon burnt ends. The brisket is great (and well represented in many Yelp reviews). On this visit, the bacon burnt ends stole the spotlight. A well-seasoned and smoked pork belly cube will melt in your mouth. I washed down my meal with the Tres Leches Banana Pudding and ended an incredible meal. One last very important note, Hurtado is a great value. My two tacos, 2 meat plate, and desert were $50. P.S. I split this meal with my son. I love food but I'm not a glutton. 2 Stars.
