Prior to boarding my I needed a meal, Sonny Bryan's BBQ was my choice... Ordered a chopped brisket sandwich , beans & coleslaw. Now it was OK yet what am I to expect it's the airport. The ladies running the place were super amazing. Cheerful smiles and handled me just like I was a friend. Overall had a good experience and would stop but again if I'm in terminal E! read more

Sonny Bryans BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Kind of disappointed. My food wasnt bad, as the brisket was pretty good for airport food. Everything else was just ok. My service, lets just say the teller was nice, but terrible at their job. They rang us up for the wrong stuff. Every thing we got was slightly wrong and charged more for the wrong items. We didnt notice until we actually got the food that everything we ordered was wrong. The part that makes it hard to be ok with is, the other people in line also had issues. Im guessing the teller either doesnt know their menu or doesnt know how to use the machine. My bbq fries were supposed to have some special seasoning, but they in fact were just regular fries with salt. The mac and cheese and pretty boring and started to become pretty gross as it cooled down. Usually when I get airport food I eat some immediately and save the rest for the flight. Well I ate some of this and had to toss the rest this would be even worse later and the only thing I would have kept was the brisket which I realized I wouldn't want a bunch of meat and a dry biscuit later. I dont recommend this place. read more

I ate at Sonny Bryan's BBQ while at Gate 10 at DFW. You order at a kiosk--with the big decision whether you want 2 or 3 meats in your combo. I selected the 2 meats combo--but just selected pork. It came with fries and beans (although there were other options like Cole slaw or fried okra). The pulled pork was good and I like the BBQ sauce. The fries were crisp and the beans were nice and soft if a little flavorless. Overall a decent option if you are at the airport. read more

FYI, this is the airport location Manager had a terrible attitude. Waited ten minutes for someone to come to the front counter. When I finally went around to the side window and asked about ordering very nicely I saw they were all sitting down joking, including the manager. I ordered the two meat combo with fries and baked beans. Mac & cheese was out. Asked for a water cup the manager said no. Brisket was very good. The chicken was actually cold.And dry. Fries were room temperature and soft. I get We're in an airport. But take some pride in your job. Is it really that hard to keep the chicken warm? Or the french fries hot? Or give a 4 cent cup to people who actually care about their health and don't want to drink a cup of sugar. Love Texas and probably should've eaten barbecue before I got to the airport. Lol. My bad! read more

This was in the airport so I'm not sure how high my expectations should have been. It was my first time through Texas (layover in the airport) so I wanted to try some Texas BBQ. I asked about the "BBQ fries" and was told they had BBQ seasoning and I thought Why not? They were fries with a dusting of something but there was no added flavor. The BBQ chicken sandwich was dry. I had to request extra BBQ sauce to make it edible. read more

Lady behind the counter was super enthusiastic and friendly but the breakfast biscuit was small, not very tasty, and likely was under the heat lamp for quite a while. Not any better than a biscuit that you would have gotten at a convenience store. Disappointing and likely will not a place I seek out on future trips through this airport. read more

At the DFW Airport, this was a convenient bbq spot near my gate. I should have realized from how the staff treated the customer when ordering. There was an elderly lady in front of me and the person taking the order was rude to her. From not listening to having no issues watching her struggle to carry her water bottles rather than giving her a bag when she asked for one. I ordered the Brisket & BBQ Fries. The brisket was tuff, not tender at all. I am assuming it was just recently cooked like a steak. No flavor or bbq feel to a traditional brisket, which needed to bbq sauce (needed more than provided) to give it flavor. The bbq fries were explained to me as not wet but bbq seasoning sprinkled over them. The fries were normal fries and could not taste bbq seasoning. The positive was that there was someone coming through often to clean the tables. Travel through DFW several times a yr and will not be going back. I will be walking farther down the terminal for other bbq foods. read more

Absolute atrocious values. This is what they called side of max and cheese for 5 dollars. Also very subpar Mac. Overcooked and no flavor on the sauce read more

When in Texas, eat BBQ. Skip the familiar unhealthy fast food joints & overpriced restaurants and get your protein fix. The combo meat options or the bbq sandwich is the way to go. The house bbq sauce was tangy & yummy, not too sweet. Pulled pork was juicy; pulled chicken a bit dry & brisket was right in the middle; good potato salad, not too creamy; cole slaw a touch runny; adequate portion; overall relatively decent value compared to other sit in restaurants. Friendly & fast service; casual vibe, low noise level, ample seating with a view of your plane; conveniently located near restrooms by gate E14. Recommended! read more

Sonny Bryan's BBQ is close to the E12 and E13 gates at DFW. The restaurant was not too crowded so I was able to find a table quickly. Ordering and getting the food was quick. I ordered the Pork belly sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The pork belly was a little dry but the bbq sauce helped. I enjoyed the Mac and cheese. When in Texas, gotta get smoked meat right. They played top pop songs in the restaurant. read more

Great food. Fast service. Clean tables. Thick slices of smokey brisket on soft white flour bun hit the spot! Perfect amount of BBQ sauce. The meat was moist, so not much sauce was needed. Enjoy! read more

Sonny Bryans BBQ - A feather from my pulled chicken plate - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stopped there Friday morning on my way out of town and ordered a biscuit with bacon only. It was the driest, most tasteless biscuit I've ever had. I couldn't even finish the first bite. It was so dry. The bacon was chewy too. I had to spit out the first bite. The cashier either couldn't or wouldn't try to figure out how to charge me for just the biscuit and bacon so I had to pay for one with bacon, egg and cheese. Then she rang it up as no egg only so when they called my number I went to the pickup counter and saw cheese on it. The biscuit wasn't warm enough for the cheese to even start melting so at least she was able to take it off. read more

Even if you're wanting BBQ, please don't waste your money here. It is simply not good. I like BBQ and was in the E Terminal so went ahead and gave it a try knowing it's airport food so didn't have high expectations yet was still disappointed. Try it and be disappointed. A better choice is to eat something else. read more

I see a lot of negative reviews. Not my experience. Yes it's way over priced. But so is everything else at the airport. Cost of doing business. I had the Brisket Sandwich with Mac & Cheese, along with Cole Slaw. The meat was tender, it was good. They have a comfortable dining area, very close to my gate, E-11. They have power to charge my device, and a large screen TV with CNN on in subtitles. I'm a happy camper! read more

Sonny Bryans BBQ - Brisket sandwich with 2 sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Brisket was just gross. Dry, salty, and low quality. Too bad. For the brisket plate with 2 sides (slaw and Mac and cheese). Slaw was a 4 out of 10. Nothing special but passable. Mac and Cheese was a standout 8 out of 10z super creamy, fresh and hot. Counter girl was super nice. Anyways it's a hard pass for me next time in DFW. read more

Cashiers and Kitchen Staff surly and very unhelpful. Ordered Ribs, was told no ribs! BBQ without ribs? Ordered a sliced brisket plate, was given a sandwich! When I told them I didn't want a sandwich, they shrugged their shoulders and it was like take it or leave it! Sides Potato salad was like cement. Beans were straight out of a can, no flavor, bland. Nice facility, with a crew in desperate need of training and supervision. read more

So as a former Dallas resident I fondly remember eating at Sonny Bryans on Inwood years ago, so imagine my delight at finding a Sonny's in Terminal E at DFW. My joy soon turned to sadness. I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich, which was like eating chopped beef jerky (seriously!) and an order of five onion rings which didn't deserve to be called anything but GARBAGE (see picture). The rings were greasy and I'm sure re-cooked because the batter was rock hard and falling off each ring. I brought it to the attention of staff and their response was "so what?" Literally. So Caveat Emptor. Buying food here might result in indigestion and at the very least, a lightening of your wallet. The potato salad was pretty good though. read more

Sonny Bryans BBQ - The Saddest Onion Rings on Earth... - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I just had their breakfast sandwich on my way back to Atlanta, and it was awesome like The Miz. Tender brisket, lots of egg and a slice of American cheese on a soft bun. It comes with a nice BBQ sauce (hint: put it on the brisket!). The place was also super clean and the sandwich was made fast, which is super important on an airport. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the breakfast potatoes were lame. Another hint if you are having breakfast here: Einstein Bagel Bros. is right across the hallway and they do decent coffee/lattes, which will compliment your breakfast experience. read more

What in the? The cool thing about technology today is you can do a ton of stuff. For instance, you can print the picture of the food I ordered and take a bite - it will taste the same as in person. I ordered a 2 meet plate - brisket and turkey. Neither one looked appealing once I received my plate. On first bite, it tasted as bad as it looked. In Texas, you expect more from a BBQ place, even if it is in an airport. The meat was dry and flavorless. The brisket was a mix of chewy and jerky. Really disgusting. I'm holding back on carbs these days, but I was so disappointed with the meal, I figured I earned a bite of the roll. It was very dry as well. The pros: You won't want to overeat Nice seating I will avoid this place going forward. Now, off to the lounge. read more

The food was unappetizing and the portions were tiny. The brisket was salty and dry and came with a laughably small amount of BBQ sauce. What little sauce I did receive was dark and congealed read more

The secret to happiness is to lower your expectations. I didn't lower mine enough, so I wasn't happy. The service here is good-folks are friendly and quick to get orders out. But the food is really.....not good. I had the pulled pork sandwich with macaroni salad and BBQ beans. The meat was dry and fatty-nearly flavorless. The BBQ sauce that comes along was too vinegary for my taste, but the meat was barely palatable without it. The macaroni salad wasn't terrible, but it was very heavy on the mayo. The BBQ beans were just alright-but still not the flavor I prefer. I don't want to hate on the place-they were very nice. Maybe I'll try a salad next time and leave the BBQ to non-airport places. read more

I was excited to see BBQ ... so I ordered brisket. Worst meat I have ever eaten. Just dreadful.

It's an airport BBQ joint so my expectations were low. I had the brisket sandwich. It wasn't bad but just on the dry side. I had coleslaw and okra as sides. read more

Airport BBQ fast food place. Given its location & price the food quality was okay. It didn't make my stomach upset. I'm pretty picky because my stomach is very sensitive. So even if the food tastes great but it doesn't agree with me then I don't count it as great food. The food here was a good proportion. You order at the cashier & pay there too. Then you pick up the food at the side. It was fast, easy, filling & decent. The style of the place is pretty basic. Tables & chairs covers with vinyl. Don't know if I'd eat here again since I don't plan on coming back to Dallas. But if I ever did, I would at least have one option food wise at the airport. read more

Consistent disappointing experience. Been here twice and term E gate 13. Staff doesn't want to be there. Obviously from my sandwich. One thin layer of fat with a bit of meat. Mostly bun. I would try anywhere else read more

Sonny Bryans BBQ - Sad excuse for a bbq sandwich. Yeah I'm from Texas. Fat side only?? No lean? - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We ordered 1 bbq brisket and 1 pulled chicken sandwich and 2 waters. I specifically asked if the chicken was white meat and cashier said yes. Chicken was dark and white meat , majority dark. Was not smoked. My best description would be canned chicken. It was very watery and salty. Brisket was just edible but chicken wasn't at all as expected. Toss it in garbage after 3 bites. Waste of $30. read more

Nothing fancy here but good food. I was visiting Dallas past weekend and wanted to check it out since this place been on my "food bucket list". I have learned about Sonny's on the Food Network few years back and was excited to try it. The food was very good all around, the atmosphere pleasant and clean, service was attentive and quick. It was everything I expected it to be. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Dallas. Food - BBQ Beans Brisket Mac and Cheese read more

Easily the worst bbq that i've ever had. I didn't have high expectations for this place given the airport location. But I thought that it would at least be better than utter crap since it is in Texas. Wrong. The meat was flavorless, extremely dry, and extremely cheap quality. I had to force myself to eat some since I was starving and there was no food on the plane. But I couldn't come close to finishing it. And the sides were just as bad... tasted really disgusting. On positive is it is not too expensive given the airport location. read more

I used to work in Terminal E, and my office was just a few minutes away from this barbecue joint. I had always been curious about it and wanted to give it a try. One day, I decided to have lunch there with a few colleagues from my corporate office. We all ordered either brisket sandwiches or some type of ribs. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing, as if it had been pre-cooked and frozen. It tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. This is definitely not authentic Texas barbecue; it's more of a joke. I'm sure many people who have eaten there would agree with me. For the high price they sell this crap your better off going to Love Shack near E11 for there overprice burger's at least they have a fresh taste to them. read more

Not bad for a quick breakfast before a 7:00 am flight. Biscuit was still a bit cold in the middle, but eggs, hash browns and gravy were pretty good for a fast food place. For the price, it was pretty good. read more

Service was fast but even for airport BBQ, this is pretty bad. Food was in no means "smokehouse" flavored. The turkey was bland; no amount of barbecue sauce could save it. And the mac and cheese was dry. Not worth it at all! read more

I ordered a late breakfast of garden salad with sliced brisket and an extra side of coleslaw. This worked for me. The sliced brisket was a little dry, almost like a roast beef and due to my keto diet I did not want to smother it with bbq sauce. It was still pretty good. The bbq sauce was nothing special. Just ok. I requested ranch dressing with the salad and it was thick and gloopy but definitely contained real blue cheese - big chunks of it! Yummy! read more

Ordered a brisket sandwich. I asked the cashier if they slice the brisket thin, she said yes. Well guess what, it isn't thin. I had lots of fat in mine so quality control is a big issue. The meat is juicy but paying $8.89 for a brisket sandwich which is 25% fat is unacceptable. read more

Passable for airport BBQ. I didn't think it was terrible. Definitely somewhat overpriced, but if you set your expectations properly, you should be okay. I got the 3-meat combo plate and a half order of onion rings. Onion rings weren't very good, but the BBQ and sides were fine. Staff was surprisingly friendly. read more

The worst experience ever!!! I was so happy and very hungry so I ordered myself some brisket 2 portions just to find out how nasty it was. Don't even stop at this location. I thought about asking for my money back because it was expensive but the best way to stop them serving bad quality of food is letting other people know how bad their food is. The Mac and Cheese was bad and tasteless the only good thing was the bbq beans and that's the only reason they are getting 1 star :) well also probably because yelp doesn't let me do negative stars haha Anyways I love bbq and when it comes to it Texas is the place to eat it, just avoid this location which is a waste of money and time, on the side of these location there is a Seven Eleven very very convenient and with 20 dollar you can buy plenty of food from this seven eleven. read more
