We ordered the family meal with meats and sides. Picked turkey and sausage. Let me tell you, it was the best BBQ we have had in a long time! The mashed potatoes, potato salad, and spicy BBQ sauce were to die for. The turkey was so tender it melted in our mouths. The sausage had a great flavor and wasn't too spicy or chewy. It was perfect. I called and thanked Santos for the great meat meal and he was very appreciative. Order from here and you won't be disappointed! Great food and great service. read more

The food was very good, the prices were good, but the service was outstanding!! They greeted us when we came in, we wanted to share a sandwich and they offered us an extra plate. The fries were low ( it's self service on vegetables) they said " fries and okra were in the fryer and" we will bring it to your table". They brought super large helpings very quickly. SERVICE! Few restaurants do it any longer. We had gone to Dickey's and after we stood 8 minutes and never even spoke much less take our order. SOULMANs is everything restaurants use to be before service lazy!! They offered 10 side items and free ice cream. I love veggies so this was an A plus! read more

The management must have changed. It was so gross and dirty on my last visit. I will never go again. I got there just when they opened, there were dead flies all over the window seals. The AC was dripping onto a table and chairs. Food was not tasty, and extremely overcooked. read more

Outstanding Father's Day lunch catered by Soulman's. On time, hot and ready. Thanks to the Forney team

The main dish you order (meats) seem to be fresh, but a buffet style view of the sides doesn't look appetizing to anyone. That's just a typical chain BBQ place though. I thought the food I ordered was good. The staff was nice read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I work in Dallas and live in forney, so when ever I get the chance I go eat at Soulman's.

Worst BBQ sandwich I've ever had! Can't believe I paid $7 for a $1 worth of chopped aka ground beef! I'll be visiting Dickeys next time. Garland location is so much better! read more

Brisket was loaded with fat in my sandwich and my daughter's baked potato. We enjoy eating at the Van location, but this will be our last time in Forney. Wasted $61 on a lousy meal. read more

I have to say I was surprised at the low rating this place got. I suspect it was due to the pinto and ranch style beans. They were simply ok. They certainly would not be worth a return visit. The ribs, however, were another story. They were some of the best ribs I have ever eaten. They were tender but not over done with the meat falling off the bone. The chicken was cooked perfectly but needed sauce to compliment the flavor. I would eat the ribs again. I actually saved this place on Waze so I can stop when passing through on business. read more

Food is pretty good. Wish they had given us bbq sauce with our take out order though.

Let me start by saying that tastes vary greatly from person to person and how good or bad barbeque is boils down to personal opinion. Of course this applies to any other type of food as well. A restaraunt does not stay in business for 40 plus years by doing things wrong. I'm not an expert but in a nutshell, this que is pretty darn good. First off, this is the third location my wife and I have been to and the food is consistant for sure. We had the brisket and sausage plate and we both had double sides of the beans. We were served up large portions of meat and the sides were self served. The sausage had really good flavor and wasn't greasy at all. The brisket was good as well. It was super tender and slightly smokey. The sauce is slightly sweet and complimented the meats well. As for the beans... I have to go with excellent. Lots of flavor and just a little bit of spice. It was nice and cool in the dining area with country music playing loud enough to hear it but not too loud and the kitchen area that can be seen as well as the dining area were clean and condiments, napkins etc... were well stocked. The staff was cheerful and friendly and stepped into the dining room to make sure everything was okay twice. When we finished eating (with leftovers in hand) We both topped off our drinks and grabbed a free soft serve ice cream cone on the way out. To wrap it up, I would say give this place a try and decide how good it is for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised. read more

Brisket tasted like mush. The queso or whatever they give you for the baked potato was basically yellow water.

This place was horrible!! Hardly any side items, and what was there was cold. The brisket was super fatty and didn't taste smoked...seemed more like boiled. We came on a Sunday evening and it took forever even though they didn't seem very busy. Will never come here again! read more

There are many bbq places in Texas and this place for me was just lacking. Very bland on flavor compared to other bbq places. Will probably not be coming back. read more

Delicious! We're visiting from Colorado so this was a treat compared to the non existent BBQ at home. Great hot links, pulled pork and baked potatoes. read more

I thought this place was awesome and glad I was "forced" to choose this place based on its proximity to my hotel and that I didn't listen to the previously 3 star review. First, the customer service was great, I really enjoyed both the people that got our food. Second, the portions were huge! I got the Soulbowl and was worried it wouldn't be enough.. I can have quite the appetite and I was hungry. I asked the lady serving us and she assured me it was a large portion and that many didn't finish it.. I felt better but ordered two small sided as extra just in case and while I also wanted extras I wouldn't have needed them.. sure enough I didn't finish. Finally it was DELICIOUS! Seriously both my friend and I (he got the pulled pork monthly special sandwich) couldn't stop commenting to each other about how good it was! So good I almost ate myself sick lol! I also loved their little condiment bar with the standard pickles/onions, plus banana and jalapeno peppers, one of their pepper mix (onion, pico de gallo mix that is amazing!) and another I can't remember lol. Seriously all items amazing and hope you try it! read more

Whoever considers this place barbecue has obviously never eaten good barbecue or barbecue period for that matter! I am shocked this place has multiple establishments. I ordered chopped beef and they actually put sliced beef in a meat grinder! Gross! Poor side selection and SO overpriced! Save your time and money, ANY other BBQ joint in town is better than this place! read more

This is a fairly new Soulman's location in Forney. My wife & I have eaten here a few times. It's good BBQ. It's not the greatest in the world, or even in Forney, but it's good. We usually pick between here, 4 T's & Shorty's when we want good BBQ in the area. Shorty's is my favorite, but my wife tends to prefer Soulman's. I believe it's because they have a larger selection of side items to choose from. read more

The macaroni and cheese was amazing. The staff was friendly and I really cannot complain about them. The establishment was filthy and there were dirty dishes on tables that clearly had been sitting a while. The brisket was tough, dry and not trimmed properly - it had been sitting too long under the heat lamp. :( I was just very disappointed overall. read more

The food was amazing, the service was great and the atmosphere was awesome. This will be one of our favorite spots to eat BBQ.

I'e been here a few times. The service and portions are consistently small and lacking. I've started driving to Terrell to get my BBQ from the Soulman's there. 10 minutes out of my way, but at least there they treat you right and don't try to steal right in front of you. read more
