    The bar of sides
    Amy W.

    When I first came to Texas, I fully expected it to be wall to wall old timey BBQ joints, maybe a gas station with an old guy smoking meat out back on a 100 year old smoker. Turns out that is mostly not the case. Yes, DFW has some stellar barbecue, but a lot of it lives in shiny purpose-built buildings with executive chefs and serious BBQ or fine-dining pedigrees. Well friends, this is one of those rare places I have only found a few of - A true little hidden gem. I can see why the reviews are mixed. Buffet sides can be polarizing, the building is nothing to look at inside or out, and there is no Diet Dr Pepper, which frankly feels like a sad and bold choice. But let us get to the important part. I ordered the slider plate and it was outstanding. You get two sides, which means you can try 3 different meats, one on each sandwich. I went with brisket, pork, and sausage. I chose coleslaw as one side so I could pile it onto the sandwiches, and onion rings as the other. The onion rings are not from the buffet - and are kinda a hidden choice - but seek them out - made to order, hot and crispy and worth it. This was a lot of food. The rolls deserve their own shoutout. I am fairly certain they are handmade (or gotten from a bakery daily) , and gloriously fluffy. My lunch was spectacular. Hubby went with the ribs and brisket plate with loaded potatoes, which were yum, and BBQ beans, which were just okay. To finish things off, they offer free vanilla soft serve ice cream. Do not "save room" for it, it is not amazing, but it is a nice little palate cleanser and a sweet way to end the meal. If you are looking for fancy vibes, this is not your spot... If you are looking for honest, satisfying barbecue that reminds you why Texas BBQ has a reputation in the first place, this one is absolutely worth a stop.

    BBQ here is ok but not fantastic. Brisket was dry and the sausage was good and the chicken was very tender and tasty. Service was ok definitely was not greeted with a smile. Inside looks like your typical barbecue joint southwestern style decor.

    After years of passing by old house BBQ, we finally decided to give it a try. The staff really stood out, every serve server, busser, and even the cooks were genuinely friendly, attentive and helpful. We went with the Sunday special: three pork meats (pulled pork, ham, ribs) two sides and a roll for $16.99. We split it between two people, and it was more than enough. The pulled pork and ham were the best, especially with the tangy, vinegar based barbecue sauce from the buffet line. (Better than what was at the condiment station. The ribs were just OK, nothing special, but still tasty. As for the sides, the cheesy potatoes are satisfying, and the Mac salad was fresh. Unfortunately, the soda fountain was down during our visit, but it didn't ruin the experience. The decor, especially outside, adds a lot of charm and with hearty portions and daily specials this is a great spot for a quick filling meal.

    Decently bbq for Texas bbq. Conveniently pulled up on this location for lunch. Great prices and great service.

    Sliced beef, cucumber salad, spicy pinto beans. Lots of condiments available

    This place is old school bbq and I love it for that. It's a throw-back to a simpler time, with quality food you select on a serving line. Sercice was efficient and cordial. The food was all fresh even though it was later in the afternoon when I was there. All the sides looked great and there was a lot to choose from. I asked for fat wet brisket with some bark and that's what I got. Tender and flavorful. There is a nice condiment bar with several (3?) kinds of bbq sauce. One is spicy and it was my favorite. Serve yourself on the drinks as well and soft serve ice cream is available: I would go back in a heartbeat.

    This place was very clean and organized. The most outstanding thing here was the food and the service, because we felt very welcomed. From California, this place was amazing. Thank you!

This night they had an espresso old fashioned which I have to admit was pretty good though wasn't sure when I ordered. Also have a chicken pot pie. The pie came out in a bowl and rather than a crusty bottom it came with a puff pastry atop. It worked though had uneven flavor throughout and slightly dry chicken. My wife thought it was perfect....LOL... to each their own. They do have a porch so perhaps in the spring weather time it will be a nice spot to get comfy with a drink. It is more a sports-themed bar with several large televisions and a large big screen in the center. Have Kenson make you an oatmeal cookie and you'll be pleasantly surprised. From the horse's mouth we were told the tacos probably weren't the best to try and so I'd stay away from those. Also tried the fish and chips and the fry was very much like a chicken fried steak than traditional FNC, though the flavor wasn't bad. Not sure I loved this style but the fries were great. People of all types came in and out the 3 or 4 hours we were there. Invited some friends to come out and join us and it was a good time so I'd recommend this place for groups. Didn't feel overcrowded here like at other places around town and I do prefer some elbow room.

Walked in, and the location was very nice and inviting. You could tell that it caters to regulars. There were a lot of them sitting at the bar, and most of the dining tables were empty, walked up to a tabletop, and was greeted byba female server immediately. Cudos on the prompt service. I asked her what was good, and she said everything was good, but the wings were phenomenal. Wanted something that I hadn't had. She said the nachos were pretty good, and I ordered chicken nachos. Me thinking it was like standard nachos. You know the chips with cheese and toppings ok them. Nope, that was def not it.. So it took a few minutes for the nachos to come out, and the bartender, I think, brought the dish out. And on first glance kinda disappointed. I forgot to take pictures also! Smh, sorry! Anyway, they brought me a dish that had about 6 mini tostadas with cheese,beans, and about 3 mayb 4 chicken mini pieces on it! Man, I wish I had remembered to take a photo. I would have given it more justice so you could get the full effect. The flavor was decent, but they barely put any sour cream, no Pico, and a little bit of lettuce. The sour cream wasn't even enough to use on all the 6 tostadas smh. I did see someone else order the wings and instantly regretted the nachos damn they looked good. Finished off my nachos and paid the tab. Now to rate. -Location 6 outa 10 very clean and nice also has a nice patio Service 6 outa 10 server was friendly and helpful -Nachos 2 outa 10 nothing special about them -Beer 4 outa 10 mug was nice and cold it's beer unless it's skunked you can't mess it up‍ Probability of me coming back 50/50. Might come back for the wings. Also worth noting that the server said they are rolling out a new menu in a few weeks or maybe days, and it might be why my experience was so so with the food. I did snag a couple of pics from another reviewer so that you can kinda see what I was dealing with but substitute the ground beef or whatever that is for 3 or 4 little chicken chunks. And calling the chicken chunks is giving a lot more like a chip off a chunk..

Then later turned to a Smokey fashion and espresso martini. We stopped there, but definitely should not have!! Entrees- we got the fish n chips, surf n turf enchiladas and pork chop schnitzel. All was amazing but the schnitzel was FANTASTIC!!!!! Dessert- we are fat a$$es and got all 3. Creme brûlée is my go-to any time it is on the menu. They had a mango, passion fruit one. Meh- would never get it again but lesson learned. Chocolate mousse- very rich. Friends loved it. Not my jam, ever so no stars taken away. However, the churro bread pudding was absolutely TO DIE FOR!!! Everyone wolfed it down. I would have punched a friend or 2 out to get the last bite but I was already stuffed and I was still snuggling with an espresso martini.

Fortunately, the daily feature menu provided drink suggestions. When decision making had reached its weekly limit, the Kobe & Crab Smash Burger was ideal. Rather than choose between meat or seafood, the burger is surf & turf between two buns. Fries or onion rings? How about fried onions as a topping and beer-battered fries as a side? While the hatch chili aioli lacked the heat to compensate for the smorgasbord of toppings, it complemented the crab cake.
