    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.

    Raging Fire... Otherwise, empty smoker.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

Forget about smelling smoke and getting all excited about good barbecue. It was nearly enough to make us turn around and get back in the car. Grateful for the inside seating because if the only available option was to sit outside, I would not have sat there and eaten my food with the smell of that garbage coming across the parking lot.

Texas barbecue is so dear to my heart I'm feeling an extensive review coming on. Let me finish this paragraph by mentioning a significant historical fact regarding bbq just a few blocks from here. " The" king of Dallas barbeque started not far from here. In 1935 Red Bryan started a BBQ business and became a legend. Passing the torch to his son Sonny Bryan who solidified the elevated smoking of brisket in Dallas. That era has passed and now.... We have a new movement. With the price of beef,personnel retention,operating expenses,it's gotta be one of the hardest operations in food service. But,Red,Sonny and others did it and the bar is raised for anyone else who expects you to patronize their establishment and pay today's prices. I was very disappointed in the brisket here. I should have taken it back but,wasn't in the mood. While the owners may be connected to Lockhart Texas BBQ royalty,you can't rest on your laurels. Let's give them some time to tweek the operation before we try again. At this time it's a no go.

By the time the store opened, the line had grown to being over twenty parties long, so plan accordingly if you don't want to be waiting for a while. Between the four in our party, we shared a three meat BBQ plate with bacon burnt ends, brisket, and their house made sausage. For our two sides, we chose their hatch chile mac n cheese and their Mexican street corn. Following the recommendations of many Yelpers, we also ordered two of the brisket tostadas and two of the birria tacos. When we received our plate of meat, I was a bit surprised at how little of each meat there was on the plate, but in hindsight, this ended up being the perfect amount of food, where everyone was able to get a sample of everything. Of the items we ordered, my favorite was definitely the burnt ends. These were melt in your mouth tender, and was insanely rich and decadent. Each of the three pieces in our order had a beautiful bark on the outside that resulted in a satisfying crunch with every bite. The casing to the sausage was snappy and the sausage itself was very juicy. The brisket was fall apart tender. The brisket was a bit light on seasoning, so I ended up using the Aztec Gold BBQ sauce they had sitting at the table with it. The sides that we chose were both delicious. The pasta in the mac n cheese was cooked perfectly and the noodles was generously sauced. The elote was sweet and smokey, and the Cotija cheese added creaminess to the side. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Hurtado Barbecue and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit if you're in Texas and are looking for great tasting BBQ.

Only opened Friday - Sunday, on my most recent Sunday visit around dinner time, Kafi was packed. The patrons were a great mix of families, BBQ lovers, and those looking for high quality Halal meats. Smoke was in the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is super friendly and nice. Pro Tip - Go for lunch or before 6 before items are sold out. A few items were sold out on my most recent visit (my fault I arrived at 6:45) and the staff weren't aware of what was available, leading to some confusion, but they were so nice it didn't impact my meal. 1 Star. Food - By now, you've probably read or heard about Kafi's Wagyu Brisket. For me, I love following @kafibbq on Instagram so I can see what Salahodeen is cooking up. On this visit, it was the Brisket Sandwich. First off, the house baked bread roll is soft, but firm enough to hold Kafi's famous brisket on a pile of home made cole slaw and pickles. The result was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've eaten. The bite was soft, smokey, crunchy, and tart (from the pickles). It was a special, and I'm not sure if Kafi will keep this on the menu, but I hope they do. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's pricey, but it's worth it. While the brisket is great, I suggest you follow them on Instagram to see what's cooking and plan your visit around the specialty items. 1 Star.

    Ambiance: 10/10 Good ole industrial style joint with benches and wood and metal aesthetics. Its…read morelarge so you dont feel claustrophobic and a cool outdoor patio. They have really nice hand soap and lotion in the bathroom - a extra perk IMO! Parking in front in the lot you have to pay for which booo but worth it. DO PAY!!! There are cameras and even if no one is handing out tickets they will mail you one. This is not owned by Hurtado to be clear Service: 20/10 I PROMISE if you go in a Monday and sit at the bar, YESENIA will change your mind on your new favorite Monday go to for HH or dinner. She is freaking awesome Food: 10/10 honestly my favorite bbq joint. From the meats to the sides and drinks. Community tea, so a nice stringer brew i like! Its rare to find a bbq joint that has delicious sides AND delish meats. Yummmmmm When you order sliced brisket they ask if you want moist (with fat) or lean. The poblano sausage (beef) is so good. Try their HG brisket quesadillas!!!! Brisket heavy and excellent for the price. I love all their sides. My fave is the bacon ranch potato salad. Their mac n cheese is really good but not my go to. Their corn mixed with the mac n cheese or potato salad is yummers too Listen, just do yourself a favor and "treat yo self" to Hurtado's. Dont walk, RUN out the door to get there

    I'd heard a lot about Hurtado BBQ and was eager to try it. World Cup fever was alive and well in…read moreDallas but when we visited there was no line and we were able to order immediately. Staff was very friendly and helpful with ordering. The spectacular: Service, cleanliness of the restaurant, staff floating to check on you, prices were on par with other places. The brisket was definitely the star of the show for me. The good: The turkey was very tasty and juicy. I could have used more smoke flavoring but that is just a preference and not a knock on it. My girl loved it. The queso was really good as well. The ok: Mac and cheese was kind of just there. Didn't love but didn't hate it either. The miss: Was not offered bread, onions, pickles or jalapeños. Had to ask for all three and then only received two pieces of bread and a tiny helping of pickles and onions but zero jalapeños. The chicken was very sticky with the sauce used and the inside looked red and almost raw. We didn't finish it. I'd go back, but would be very focused on the brisket and maybe the puerco and/or sausage. Gives me a future Rudy's vibe but that's not hating on it at all. Just a chain that will be consistent.
