    Super easy to find and plenty of parking. Nice 1960's style BBQ establishment with farm theme. The huge farm theme mural and roomy booths set the scene. BBQ buffet service is quick and easy. The BBQ flavor is really good for the brisket. The standard sides offer plenty of options.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I got the Que Crew together earlier this month to check out another area BBQ spot. This time at Old House BBQ in Lewisville. The outer appearance is that of an old country restaurant where locals gather for "supper" or pick up dinner after a long day of work - and that's actually probably pretty close to accurate. The interior is clean, and larger than it appears on the outside. The popcorn ceiling and décor takes you back to the mid-70s and the food is served cafeteria-style. The meats can be ordered By the Pound, as a Sandwich, or as part of a 1, 2 or 3-Meat Dinner Plate. They also offer BBQ Baked Potatoes, Nachos, Quesadillas and Frito Pie. Being my first visit, I was compelled to go with the 3-Meat Plate, so I could sample as many items as possible. I selected Brisket, Jalapeno Sausage and Ribs. A great many sides are laid out across the warmer tables and coolers. Many looked good, but when I see the words "Cheesy Potatoes", it's settled! For my other side, I went traditional with the Smoked Beans. After paying for my dinner, and setting my tray down, I retrieved my self-serve soda and gathered fresh toppings, such as onions, jalapenos and pickles. As the meat goes, the Brisket was a bit dry. If you like lean Brisket and sauce, this is probably for you. I just prefer a little marbelization and bark on my Brisket. The Sausage was standard. Not bad, but nothing special. The ribs were, by far, my favorite of the meats I tried. Very tender, came off the bone clean and there was a smokiness that was really tasty. The Cheesy Potatoes didn't live up to expectation. Good, but I had hoped for more. The flavor of the cheese was too similar to Velveeta for my liking and the Smoked Beans were quite good. I don't want to come off as overly critical. I would return, as there is a lot of good things about this food. The competition in this area for BBQ is so strong, that I have to give things a critical eye for the really special places to stand out. I would definitely get the Ribs and the Smoked Beans and I'm anxious to try some of the others on my next visit.

    This is the best bbq that I had in a long time. The brisket is always moist and the ribs are fall of the bone. The sides are fantastic!! Especially the loaded mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes Baked potato is huge

    Very good BBQ. The sliced and chop beef is excellent. If you like pulled pork, you won't be disappointed. The sides are serve yourself.

    Funny that I'm on this website to write a review almost 8 years from the last time I was there. I…read moregot to thinking about good BBQ, and it made me think of one of the best I've encountered, Hard 8. I used to travel a lot for work, and would hit this place when I could. Suffice to say, it left a lasting impression on me, because here I am, almost a decade later. The atmosphere is everything a Texas BBQ joint should be, and having folks enter from the pit area was a stroke of genius. It really sets the expectation & mood. There's "decent" BBQ places here in Ohio, but there's no question Texas does it best, and Hard 8 is a true standout! (LOVE those charros!) This will be the 1st place I stop to eat if ever again I'm in the area. Honorable mention to Tyler's BBQ up in Amarillo if anyone gets out that way.

    I went here twice in one weekend while visiting Dallas. Once with my friend and another time with…read morecoworkers. First I got the brisket, regular potato salad, sweet corn, cheesecake, and a Diet Coke (I know, oink oink piggy amirite ). But yeah it was really frickin good like what am I supposed to say. The second time I got a half chicken, twice baked potato salad, Mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, cheesecake, and a ranch water. (Holy moo could he order any more food) and yeah I was stuffed and satisfied. Only complain is they didn't use topo Chico for the ranch water but a piggy eats whatever slop the farmer pours in the troph. Thanks hard eight. I'll be back.

    Immediately evident ownership change…read more Came in after a long absence of eating here for their amazing pulled pork and fat japs. Within 5 minutes and before I got to a table, I was telling my wife they must be under new ownership. Receiving the food and taking a bite prompted us to take to Google and confirmed it. I have never thrown away food at Fat Cow, however I threw away two orders of fat japs (minus two half eaten ones that the wife and took a single bite out of) and 2/3 of my brisket taco plate. Condiments bar was just brine in containers with no pickles, jalapenos etc, brisket was dry, bacon on fat japs was cold grease coated and sickly looking, meat inside jalapenos was like shredded jerky. Had never before walked out of there smelling like dirty barbecue before, but we definitely could smell it in our clothes the rest of the night. Definitely not the Fat Cow I grew up loving.

    Disapointment After Ownership Change…read more My family and I have been going to Fat Cow for several years. We loved the friendly atmosphere, excellent service and great food. We decided to try it after the new owners took over. While the atmosphere was still welcoming and friendly, we noticed some changes in the food that made me miss the old days. The sausage was a big letdown which looked like a shriveled up hot dog. The mac and cheese had no flavor and did not have enough sauce. The potato salad and coleslaw were not as good as they had been in the past. I hope the new owners can find a way to bring back the flavor and quality that st this place apart drom other BBQ restaurants.
