Great customer service even while super busy on July 4th. Let us pick up our order 20 minutes earlier than pickup time, thank you!

Ordered some French fries with chopped beef in top with white onion. The beef was chopped finely and was fatty and flavor less! It lacked salt! The fries were hot and the onions were chopped in chunks instead of in slices that are thin! The service was quick and I am sure it may have been a good environment to eat in. I got this order to go! I really wanted Mesquite BBQ on Davis street in Mesquite Texas but they were not open on this day! read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - Chopped beef with French fries and white onion - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Went in search of food on Christmas Eve and wound up in Cedar Hill at Soul Man's as they were the only ones open and not packed. The lobby had one family in there. Everything was clean and the atmosphere was light. The servers were friendly and fun to talk to. My daughter and I ordered two Loaded Tyler's and two chopped beef sandwiches with two drinks. The food, however, was bland. Everything was bland! Not a sprinkle of seasoning on anything. That's hard to do in Texas!! I was truly disappointed. I had to doctor on everything at home before I could eat anything. I, also, wish the option to add what meat that you want on the Tyler was there because I would have opted for chopped beef. I think there was ham and link sausage on it. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - great family dinner after the Dallas winter storm! David was so great,I hope everybody meets him, he made us so comfortable and welcomed! - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

The food was absolutely horrible! We ordered the family meal through DoorDash from the FT Worth location on 02/21/26. It cost $110, and it was a waste of money! The ribs, which we paid extra for, were extra dry, and the sausage had no color to it, as if it was not even cooked. About the only halfway edible was the brisket, which is all we could eat. The sides lacked flavor, seasoning, whichever, and the fries were dripping with oil, so that even the container they came in was soaked. How can you live in Texas, call your establishment a barbecue place, and not know how to cook barbecue? read more

The service is fine if a bit slow. But friendly faces and all. However, the food is terrible. The brisket is gray and absolutely flavorless. Might as well pop the brisket in the microwave to cook it. The okra was the only thing that was decent, and that's pretty hard to mess up. I had hopes that this place would be at least eatable, but it's probably the worst bbq I've had in 10 years in the DFW area. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - 3 meat plate (partially eaten). - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Went tonight to venture a bbq in Texas. Thought I'd go to one and saw Soulman's on the frontage road and thought "Soul"?? This place was great had the half slab of pork ribs with two sides. The side I thought was just ok fried okra was cold and the corn was lukewarm. The ribs and spicy sauce was the bomb.com so good very tasteful and the seasoning spot on!! Sweet tea was overpowering but the ice cream to go was also fantastic. Plan on stopping by back when I get back to Texas. Should've had the bake potato. Oh well next time. Service was ok no glad to see me come in reaction just how can I help you and checkout the girl was just there. ‍. Place was very clean and the busboy was the only smile and thanks I received. read more

Was very disappointed that they were out of the half chickens, being the special of the month. I can see them running out before closing time, unfortunately, this was during dinner time. I normally don't write bad reviews UNLESS THE EXPERIENCE LEFT A BAD TASTE, we normally just don't go back to the place. The atmosphere was ok, couldn't taste the food, and therefore it'll stay as a negative, the reason for the bad review is aa follows: there was no sense of urgency, or apologetic attitude. The fact that nothing else was offered as replacement (IM NOT TALKING FOR FREE) to try and have us stay leads me to think this happens often. I can see why there were maybe 3 tables occupied during dinner rush. GOOD BBQ JOINTS are hard to come by, and this one disappointed. PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A GREAT BBQ PLACE LET PEOPLE KNOW!!! To us this is not it... read more

We eat here often and the food is consistently good. I've tried other locations but the Cedar Hill location is my favorite one.

Food is always good but now the prices do not match the portions anymore! But I guess everything is increasing now a days.

Great food. Great service and super nice people. The food is always hot when delivered via uber eats!

ordered 5 pounds of sliced beef for Easter it was full of fat and tastefld like it was 2 days old

My cream corn taste spoiled. Is it buttermilk? My spicy potatoes are salty. The ribs are ok. The toast was good read more

Great atmosphere excellent customer service given by the staff, especially Samantha. She greeted me. She made great suggestions. She even let me taste a few of the size to see which one I wanted. She helped me make a great decision in a plate that I chose and I will be returning due to the great service given read more

Stopped in on a whim after just landing in TX. I solely picked this place because I liked the outside of the building. Got the pork sandwich special with potato salad and banana pudding. Very good, hubby is a snob and he approved of lunch. He had same sandwich with beans and cream corn. Probably my 2nd favorite of the sides. Check them out, good food clean restaurant with friendly staff read more

We have eaten here a few times when visiting family. Menu items are clear and popular options to chose from. I always get the two meat dinner with two sides. Staff is usually helpful and friendly on most visits. Plenty of tables available to eat. Food is always good and fresh. read more

This place was solid. I had sliced brisket, pork ribs, and smoked chicken. Honestly, the chicken was the star. Who would've thought? Or the brisket and ribs were OK, the chicken definitely surprised me. Sides are pretty standard fare for a barbecue place, and the self-serve bar always allows for me to get more than I probably should. Not bad! read more

Two kinds of BBQ places. Those that open and close at specific times and those that close when the food is all gone. Soul man is the former. About 12:45, in for a 3 meat plate. Pork ribs had taste of both smoke and spice rub- very tasty. The chopped pork was white color, no smoke ring pink or bark mixed in. Neutral taste and a 4 on a 10 point juiciness scale. Brisket was uniformly cooked brown with the bark trimmed off, no smoke ring .and a 4 of 10 on juiciness scale. Fried cabbage was good, Mac n cheese was not special. Buttermilk pie was good. Service was quick, I thought portions were modest. So- nothing bad, most in the middle with good ribs and service. Very cute marketing. "You know what we've been smoking " read more

Couldn't visit Texas without hitting up a BBQ joint and Soulman's was AMAZING. My husband is more of a bbq connoisseur than I am, but it was so good! He got the ribs and I got a pulled pork sandwich. The meat was so tender and juicy, and the sauce is super good! We tried both the regular and spicy sauce and enjoyed both! Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese as sides, both were great! If we lived here, this would be a regular eatery for us! read more

This food is great. The meat tenderly smoked and seasoned very well. For our Christmas Luncheon today they offered full service catering. The fwas very caring and attentive. I read more

A little on the skimpy side. Not much meat. Cold too. Rather expensive compared to what it used to be for less food with lacking quality. No more ice cream sucks. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - ows a plate of food and a slice of pizza - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

The meats (Brisket, Pork, Sausage, Chicken) always has the right amount of mesquite smoke flavoring. Never overpowering. The spice rub is sub, yet flavorful. The staff are always accommodating and knowledgeable. The sides are plentiful and well prepared. The Tea (sweet & unsweet) are great. read more

Save your money. I had the pulled pork sandwich combo. It comes with two sides. I had the fried okra and green beans. The okra was saturated with grease. The green beans were fresh out of the can i.e. tasteless. What was on my sandwich couldn't be considered barbeque. It was more like a cut up pork chop. Virtually no smoke flavor. A little bit of fat here and there. The only thing decent about the meal was the BBQ sauce. It was kind of a Kansas City style. Without the sauce, the sandwich would have been a total loss. read more

How can you call yourself BBQ joint with no ribs and not much to choose from under the heat lamp. Customer service was non-existent, and I felt like I was bothering them. Needless to say i left without ordering anything not even water. read more

All of the food was really good. We ordered the super chuck wagon. The meat was the best part, ESPECIALLY the ribs. I'd 100% go back to this restaurant specifically for the ribs. The brisket was thin and tender, very good. The sausage was great as well. The sides could use a little work. The Mac and cheese is great and coleslaw was also good. The beans and cream corn need a lot of work. Their barbecue sauce was also great. Great environment and a great place for barbecue. It beats Lockhart in Dallas! read more

Love this place!!! Every time I go everyone is very friendly and the service is great. The chopped beef is amazing and I love their spicy bbq sauce. My favorite thing though has to be their spicy cream corn!!! It's DELICIOUS. Highly recommend this place read more

We've been to this location several times and the food has always been good! The baked potatoes are huge! The kid's meals are enough to feed two kids! Our kids love the mac n cheese! The last time we went, they were out tea, but quickly made more! We will definitely be back! read more

Food was very good and the portions were very pleasing. Place was clean and the prices were the best we have found against other BBQ places. People were friendly. We will definitely make that our BBQ restaurant. read more

Honestly...Just drive the extra 30 minutes up to Deep Ellum to Terry Blacks. No need to subject your stomach to this.

Traveling through for the weekend, heading to see my hubby in west TX... My son begged me to try this place because he wanted smoked chicken. I did a u-turn for him. (Hey, that's what this momma does). * So, we stop, my son go inside to grab a menu and come back out and say "The lady at the register stated the prices on the to-go menu is lower than the true price." Huhh? Why offer menus to customers which are "incorrect"... senseless. We go inside to place an order. Guy is cutting up meat and lady at register... Zero greeting! (Bad sign for me immediately, but my son wanted to eat here - me personally would have walked out.) I asked the guy - "There's so much going on with your menu above, where's your sandwiches for turkey only?" He looked up at me like he was annoyed because I even asked! He replied - "((sigh)) Well, if you look above here (signaling his hand pointing) , you will see individual turkey here by lb or you can look over here under sandwiches." I replied... Excuse me? He just looked back down and kept cutting meat. I was steaming inside.... but trying to "still" give my boy what he wanted to eat. He then looked up and pointed - "We do have put 1/2 chicken meal on sale this month for $10.49. We ordered... My son got the 1/2 chicken deal with sweet tea and I got a plain turkey sandwich. Everything was roped off of course, so we went back to the truck. . My son said chicken was ok, but no flavor (plain chicken taste), he did like the Mac n cheese and green beans. My turkey sandwich was on a small roll vs a bun (certainly now acceptable for the price). The turkey itself was very moist and tasty. . . Now, being a previous restaurant owner, my employee KNEW to ALWAYS GREET GREET CUSTOMERS! ALWAYS! You don't know if they eat there regularly or not. For 1st time customers it certainly is a 1st impression for them to "come back". Food can be great; however is customers don't feel welcomed... they don't come back. Some may not care because locals support them, but it puts a sour taste in those who could "potentially" be regulars, by passing through. I understand "owners" aren't there 24/7 and trust employees to do the right things, but you never know who is coming to visit your establishment. For this business owner.... I was VERY turned off and not pleased with the customer service .... UNACCEPTABLE. read more

Terrible food & service. Employees were not customer motivated or caring. Food was bland snd amateurish. I would not waste my time is I wanted something good nor would i expect much if I planed to visit this place read more

Today deeply disappointed with my order today. Spent 45.00 of food, smoked chicken, sausage, baked potatoes, okra. Baked potatoes were cold with no bacon bits. My okra to had no lid on the container and all spilled out and was cold. Called the manager Jessica and was just offered another plate and which I am already home and not driving back up there and probably never return. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Thought I'd write this review anyways and hope it helps someone. Had a pretty not so great experience at this joint. The guy taking my order was on the slight rude side and not helpful especially for a first timer. Wth? Lol man waste of time :-/ The food is expensive and the meats are on the dry side. I've tried it a second time and again pretty much the same experience not so helpful and again the food is mediocre and don't think the price justifies it??? I wouldn't mind if the prices were decent to balance things out but that doesn't help. Well you get the hint it's not great. read more

All the BBQ restaurants in Cedar Hill vicinity are pretty much terrible. The chain BBQ restaurant have plain to down right awful food.The independent BBQ places are always out of items,small portions,dirty and suffer staff issues. With that being said , I was pleasantly surprised by Soulman's bbq. The staff was pleasant and the food was surprisingly highly tasteful. I had the three meat plate. The pulled pork, sausage, and ribs were good. There coleslaw recipe is great.There portions are the largest of all the BBQ places . Will be a regular customer. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - Sausage & Brisket with spicy potatoes and fried cabbage. - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

July 4th was going great until we dropped by Soulmans Cedar Hill location. Sliced and copped beef was above average and was a little perturbed when asked for another small cup of bbq sauce. 1.) didn't receive 1/2 of sausage 2.) fried okra one lg cup $11.99! Let it sink in $11.99!! OMG 3.) buns $7.99 Needless to say Soulman's Cedar Hill had a great 4th but we will never return to Soulman's no matter location!! read more

First time here and I loved the food. I ordered the Rambler and MAN it was really good. Perfect mix of the potatoes, hot links and pulled pork. Oh and the portions were perfect. Enough for 2 meals in my opinion. read more

If I could rate lower I would because this just happened! Aug 27,2022 at 4:50 pm. Only me and my husband in line for food order and the two men working behind the counter never acknowledged us! My husband spoke and they still never said they would be with us nor did they ask for our order. No one else was in line....we waited a few more minutes then walked out. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE no excuse for this kind of treatment. read more

First time trying it and I wasn't disappointed!! Meats and sides very fresh and hot!!! Would've wanted extra BBQ sauce but definitely recommend!! read more

Maybe I went at the wrong day and time. I've visited this location a number of times for a number of years. My experience this weekend was nothing short of disappointing. My order was relatively easy - 2 sides, chopped beef. Apparently chopped beef is the new blended because that's exactly how the meat turned out. It wasn't warm, not sure how fresh, a lot of fatty pieces, and chopped down to the size of bacon bits. I will not be returning and would not recommend. read more
