Food was okay, rolls are the best! Service was terrible won't eat there again. Not friendly, actually they were rude.Nor helpful with cleaning a spill. Find somewhere else to eat. read more

The food is decent here. They need a better BBQ sauce though, there's is runny. The food could also use some more flavor, but I would still eat here again. Love the bread rolls. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Brisket lunch special - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Decent BBQ BUT: I get it with covid prices went up seems like in most restaurants but 15.95 for a BBQ plate where they use to let you get as many sides as you wanted now limit you to 2 sides us way too much. The 3 meat combo came with 3 slices of brisket, 2 ribs and a small amount of overcooked sausage (15.95) ...Too expensive...please bring back serve yourself sides and the price is tolerable. Probably want return as often and definitely will need to get my hands on a coupon. read more

When I first moved to Arlington back in 2004, it was the first time I had bbq from this place. Overall the the bbq and sides are very good yet affordable as well! My favorite thing about this place are the rolls they are hot and fresh and are always at the ready when you want one! I've noticed over the years this place is very community oriented and takes care of the customers/people in it making Spring Creek a good place to have a good time, go with groups of people and lastly eat pretty good! I'd recommend this place if anyone If you havent tried it! read more

I ordered a takeout of 5 pounds of regular and cracked pepper sausage. I ordered it 20 minutes ahead of time and it was ready when I got there. Cracked Pepper is awesome. James at the takeout counter was great, very personable. He should be considered into a management role. The whole crew was first class!! read more

High energy place with a nice simple menu. Sides aren't especially spectacular, but you can have as much as you want with choice of meat. I had chicken. It didn't come across as anything special, but i really dont have any complaints either. same goes for my sisters ribs. i had a bite of sausage, and that was nice. i think ill have to say that i prefer lucilles in torrance read more

Bummer, Spring Creek, I wanted you to be so much better. Having grown up eating Spring Creek at least once a week through the 80s and 90s, I expected this visit to be a reminder of all things wonderful and amazing, but it wasn't. The best thing about the visit was having to wait in line because there were no tables and they walked around sampling their jalapeno sausage. It was darn good, should have ordered it. I did order the brisket and it was pretty good, nothing great. The BBQ sauce is a slightly sweet, slightly spicy blend that to me had hints of KC and Texas in it. I tried some ribs off other plates and they were just plain bad. They had little to no meat and the meat that was on them was jerky-like. It's like they had been sitting under the heat lamp for far too long, were barely warm and were dried up. Huge disappointment. In a part of town with multiple BBQ joints within 5 minutes, give somewhere else a whirl if you want good, cheap BBQ. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Ordered 5 meals to be picked up for delivery... restaurant cancelled my order because they were to busy!!! What if I would have walked in and ordered 5 meals to go???? Would you have told me you were to busy??? This drug rep will never use your restaurant again !!! read more

Let me preface by saying we only cheated on our local favorite, Big D, because our kiddo got a gift card from school for some achievement or other. (Sorry, Big D, I will see you soon, you're still #1 in my bbq heart!) Spring Creek is, of course, a chain, so there's really an upper level on how good it can be. With that in mind, it wasn't bad. Things I particularly liked were the cole slaw, the rolls, and the BBQ sauce. The ribs were decent but not as tender as I like. The ribs at Bone Daddy's are actually a little better I think. Definitely Big D's ribs are better. I stole a few of my kid's french fries (well, technically he was done with them so I finished them off) and those were pretty good. We had a looooong wait for the fries to arrive but the gentleman who brought them was so apologetic about the wait that he got us a second order. Green beans are standard italian beans, they're good enough for me but I particularly like green beans in general. The mac & cheese is tasty, but not a gourmet mac & cheese at all. Pricewise, it's expensive when you compare it to a top notch joint like Big D and realize you actually pay 3.50 more for a rib plate here, and the food, while decent and certainly edible, isn't anything particularly special. I'm glad we had the gift card or it would have been a nearly $50 meal for 3 people. In sum, I won't say no if folks want to go but it's worth driving the extra 20 minutes to Mansfield instead. read more

I went here last summer when my boyfriend's family surprised him all the way from Michigan. They drove ALL the way here, straight through.. crazy if I do say so myself. But one thing they wanted was some BBQ, and this place was close and good. We went during the 4th of July time frame so there were extremely long lines, coming out the front of the door, we had no choice so we had to wait. We got to the front of the line bout 25 minutes later. It was like a long lunch line you would think about when you were back in elementary school. You picked the meats you liked, and sides. I got the Pulled Pork sandwich, as always and it was pretty decent. Everyone else got Ribs, and other meats they enjoyed them as well. read more

Fresh bread offered every ten to twenty minutes. I can never keep count but I think I said yes to three rounds of bread and rejected like two. I ate the brisket and the peppered sausage dinner. I kind of regret getting the sausage not because it tasted bad, but because I normally don't like them unless I crave them. All the sides were good, but for some reason the green beans were my favorite. That's a recent addition to my new taste buds because I normally don't like southern cooking styles of some vegetables. The young group of staff were very friendly and polite. I've been to Spring Creek once before and I don't remember a friendlier group of people other than these ones. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - I got sweet tea, am I Texan yet? - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Good pulled pork and brisket bbq and sides. Delicious rolls. Clean with great service.

Not sure if this is correct location, at least is one in my catering services invoice . Disappointed , ordered catering services for Christmas event . Food cold Brisket / super hard without flavor Regular bread from Walmart , not the roll I was expecting The only good things was , arriving on time, and nice servers. But not worth it the price at all . First and last time I request catering from spring creek . Honestly I love your food , never though the catering will be so low quality.. read more

My girlfriend loved this place so I decided to give it a try, just moved to Texas so I am digging deep for solid BBQ joints. This one did not let me down! I ordered the St. Louis ribs lunch special and banana pudding, beans had good flavor , potato salad was loaded with good stuff and the ribs were solid. Banana pudding was the best part for me, I can't think of a better banana pudding I have had in my life. Really nailed it there, only reason I kept at 4 stars was because the ribs were a bit on the dry side. All in all really solid BBQ place, will definitely come back to try other menu items read more

Spring Creek is by far the best barbecue in Texas. The food especially the ribs are consistently awesome. My wife and I have been patronizing the Cooper st place in Arlington for over seven years and nobody beats their quality control like them. I have never left there unsatisfied in any way. And their staff and management are supreme especially their manager James who is always on top of things and making sure all your needs are met. read more

Food is always fresh and great tasting. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We come here quite often and love that they give back so much to the schools... they are wonderful supporters of the community schools and for that they earn my business. read more

It was ok. First time here but I felt the chicken tasted a little dry. The bread was great though.

Decor: 4/5 -all Spring Creeks have the same layout, there are plenty of seating Service: 4/5 -southern hospitality, very friendly, got my carry out in less than ten minutes Food: 4/5 -I got a variety - Carolina pulled pork, ribs, marbled brisket, sausage and will say the marbled beef brisket is my favorite but it needs the sweet bbq sauce -As for sides, my favorites are mac n cheese, potato salad and their roll read more

Great St Louis Rib dinner today. All the sides are delicious and the fresh dinner rolls are phenomenal. Best Spring Creek so far and we've been to four locations. read more

We had not been in this area for some time and decided to try the BBQ. it was late but we were hungry. I got the 3 meat combo. Not a lot of meat but I piled on the cole slaw and potato salad. The potato salad was really good. Cole slaw was creamy and ok. The brisket was tender but really lacked smokey flavor. The pulled pork tasted/felt like it had been cooked in a slow-cooker all day as it was watery and bland. The sausage was tasty. And the large yeast rolls took the place of dessert as they are really good. My brother-in-law had the beef ribs and they looked tender and tasty. read more

I went to dinner at what used to be my favorite BBQ restaurant and the food was horrid. I've been going to this restaurant since it first opened for business in Arlington and this is the first time I was unable to eat the food due to the quality being so poor. The brisket was very fatty - as in more fat than meat. The coleslaw was dry with almost no sauce on it. The potato salad was less flavorful. It could have used more relish and mustard or perhaps better quality relish and mustard the kind with flavor. The pepper sausage was okay but nothing to write home about. There is a different BBQ chain with a spicy cheddar sausage that is far better. They didn't even have bottles of Big Red on ice. The only item that I ate that was still good were the fresh out of the oven rolls. Looks like I need to find a new BBQ favorite. I'm not sure I'll ever go back to Spring Creek as the food was that disappointing. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - The image I see first and picture in my mind when I think of Spring Creek BBQ is the shed on the side of the building. - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Stopped by to pick up an order, this place was a cluster of mess. The employees kept yelling back and forth about some card they lost. There was Another customer waiting for his order when he ask if they had a bag or a box to help carry out his order the guy who I assume to be the manager rolled his eyes and said it's just to meat. He had a large order. I can't stand poor customer service regardless of what kind of day anyone has had. read more

This BBQ was amazing! I don't eat pork so finding a place with beef ribs was hard but this place had them and I'm so glad because they were so tasty and so was everything else they had. The meat was so juicy and tender. The service was really good. The employees were so nice and helpful. The food was uuhhh! So freaking good!!! I was full but couldn't stop myself. I wish this was near my home but then again if it was I'd probably gain 40lbs in a year lol read more

As always it's spring Creek barbecue delicious. Service is always wonderful managers are always so nice. The food is immaculate always love the beef and sausage combo for lunch. The bread is something you must try and have definitely the classic bread roll. Additionally most of the meals you getting all the veggies you can fit on your plate with your food. read more

The guy that cuts the meat is so rude. I should never walk into a restaurant in a good mood and leave in a bad one because of an employee.

Honestly I'd probably give it a 3.5. I ordered the chicken which was decent but nothing to write home about. The chocolate cream pie and fresh bread were amazing though and there's a good selection of sides although the mac and cheese which would be a normal go to for me didn't look appetizing so I got baked beans and a baked potato instead. read more

bbq is great reasonable prices tip for people from out of town -sides are the same price whether you have one scoop or fifteen -sides are apparently free to refill? (unwritten rule) but don't blame if you get charged ! the bread is delicious and hot- once again also unlimited. they accept coupons for buy one get one free meals ! while i usually don't like turkey meat as its usually dry, the turkey here is pretty juicy ! everyone is really friendly. read more

Ever since I left the Lone Star State to venture to California, one of the first places I visit when I return to God's Country is Spring Creek. I last dined here a few days ago and it was still amazing. The folks that work in the Arlington location are top notch. Makes me miss Texas even more! I had the brisket plate and it was perfectly done. The people at Spring Creek are the friendliest you will find anywhere and the BBQ is the best. When I die, I may not go to heaven, but I hope to go to Spring Creek! It's that good. Seriously. read more

Ok ok.. before I get flamed for liking this place I gotta explain.. I'm a carbaholic and is totally addicted to their rolls and chopped baker. They make their rolls every 15-20 minutes and these girls come to your table and give you more bread. It's fresh rolls on tap. Hellz friggin yea! I usually eat half of a chopped baker which is basically a giant spud stuffed to the brim with brisket, cheese, sour cream and butter topped with bbq sauce. Yes, this is a heart attack on a plate but I try to focus on happy things when I eat it. Their bbq sauce is pretty tasty in my opinion. The brisket by itself is pretty bland and actually dry. My family usually gets the ribs and are pretty happy with their meal. I promise to try other places (and actually eat bbq) before I come back here :D read more

Buffet style pick what you want BBQ joint. Great place to bring the family and kids for an echo chamber experience. Food is passable, but why settle for passaable with so many good places to eat without having you eardrums assaulted by "mom lets go", or "I want more ice cream", or my fav, "I need go potty". Hey the ice cream is alright. read more

I love Spring Creek BBQ! I've been eating here since the late 80's and every time I visit the DFW area I HAVE to eat here. My favorite plate is the sliced barbecued beef, which melts in your mouth. The sides are serve yourself so you can have as much as you can fit on your plate. Choices range from green beans, barbecued baked beans, potato salad, and cole slaw. You can also order fried okra, which is a favorite if you were raised in the South. Their barbecue sauce is also serve yourself, so you can add as much or as little as you like, and it is sweet, spicy and delicious....not too thick and not too runny. Perhaps the biggest draw, aside from the barbecue, are the delicious all-you-can-eat freshly baked rolls. Wow! I have at least two or three each visit, and I'd eat more if I had room. They are so delicious that they don't even need butter, and are served hot and fresh out of the oven. Their fresh peach cobbler and Blue Bell vanilla ice cream is to die for! I don't even like cobbler, but theirs is so scrumptious that I have to have some. It has such a sweet cinnamon-y flavor that should not be missed. Make sure you save room for it, or at least split it with someone else. If cobbler and ice cream is not your thing they also have pecan pie, coconut cream pie, and chocolate cream pie...but try the cobbler and ice cream. You won't be disappointed. As far as beverages go they have ice-cold bottled beer, soft drinks, and iced tea, both sweet and regular. The sweet tea is my favorite, and if you were raised in Texas you know that sweet tea is so refreshing on a sweltering hot Texas summer day. I had my rehearsal dinner for my wedding party as Spring Creek and it was great. Everyone loved the food and the prices were more than fair for all that we received. We reserved the banquet room, so we sat separately from the rest of the diners. I don't know how, but I still fit in my wedding dress the next day. If you love barbecue, I highly recommend you give Spring Creek a try. It is such a warm, friendly place and families with kiddos are not only welcome but appreciated. Your kids will love the food and informal environment. You'll love the food and prices, too! read more

Can never go wrong with rib plate or half chicken but you gotta get that special sauce! I get it. It's a chain. And it's Texas. And I shouldn't combine the two. But my in-laws love this place. And I like barbecue but especially free barbecue. If you go here expecting top 5, then that's on you. But if you go here expecting good hot barbecue, they always deliver. Ribs are always juicy and never chewy. Chicken always cooked just right. And you can't go wrong with sweet tea, hod yeast rolls and fried okra. Always a table in Sunday nights. read more

I want to personally thank Keith and the team for the best service every time. We love coming here for the family environment and the best ribs in town. Rest assured we will be back next week. read more

Came here for lunch the other day, the place was pretty quite. Got a brisket plate with fries and fried okra. The brisket was good, I like the BBQ sauce. I didn't really understand the vegetable situation. Because of our fries and okra, I don't think we were allowed potato salad, Mac and cheese etc... The bread rolls though are good! A little bit pricey for a chain. read more

If you coming to Arlington Tx area and want some good BBQ Spring Creek will not disappoint. The sausage was amazing. Two flavors slices in front of you with a tender brisket that melts in your mouth. The sauce is a sweet sauce mild and great on top or on side. The side dishes are a nice portion as you scoop it on your plate yourself. Great southern hospitality tops this place off as the ladies walk around offering fresh hot baked bread! read more

I love Spring Creek! The food is amazing and affordable. I normally get the brisket with Mac & Cheese. You can add any sides you want on your plate! I the baked potato with bacon, green onion, and cheese could make your mouth watering. The staff were also friendly and very helpful. read more

First, let me say I have eaten at Spring Creek before and even at this particular Spring Creek within the last year and it was decent, I would say 4 stars. Today, I went to eat with my brother. Even though the serving line staff are doing their cadence chants with each order, it took me two requests to get my order in. I get to the register, the cashier say the total is around $30 and I hand her my debit card. My brother gets a look on his face at the cost of the meal, and the cashier asks if he wants the order repeated and starts ratting off the order, before he even says yes or no. Now, I am paying and have already handed her my card, so why is she so concerned with his look? Maybe because they are used to alot of customers shocked at the prices? I had ordered fried okra, which they gave me a number to bring it to me so we take a seat. (Thank God they make that fresh to order!) The brisket in my sandwich was cut razor thin, and wasn't really enough to even make a sandwich, as the bun they gave was huge and swallowed the meat up. The meat was tasteless, dry and chewy. Disappointd, I look for my okra, and see someone wandering aimlessly around the dining room with a basket and I can't seem to get him to come bring my order to me. Those were fresh cooked but had little breading and no taste either. Another Big disappointment. I see the girl with the bread basket but I never can get her to come over to our table. She hits every one elses table but ours. The floor floaters certainly seemed interested in helping other customers, but not us. If one had, I would have told them their food sucked. But they didn't so my brother and I left our plates mostly uneaten and left. To me, it seemed like a BBQ joint for geriatrics. Bland, tasteless food in small portions at high prices. Almost $2.50 for iced tea? Come on. No wonder most people there had water, I could have had a Riskys, Railhead or Angelos sandwich for the cost of our drinks, and that sandwich would have had more flavor and quantity than what Spring Creek called a brisket sandwich. $30 for two people for 2 BBQ sandwiches w sides, 2 drinks and a piece of pie? I think not.....I won't be back again soon. read more

Baked potato is awesome! Get it loaded with bacon, cheese , butter , sour cream and chives!

Today for lunch, my coworkers and I called in an order to the Spring Creek located in Arlington, TX. We placed two separate orders and mine was a Pork Sandwich Plate. When my coworker got back with the food, I realized I was given the Pork Dinner Plate instead of the Sandwich plate, which is NOT a huge deal. However, when I called to bring it to the manager's attention I feel like the issue was brushed off in a very rude manner. I informed him of the mix up and his response was to tell me that "The two plates are the same price and there is more food on the dinner plate anyways." When I commented that I'm not worried about the price OR the amount but about the fact that I didn't get the meal that I ordered, his response was "I'm sorry that you didn't get your sandwich, but they are the same price and the dinner plate comes with more food anyways so it is a better value." I work in the customer service field and deal with upset customers on a daily basis. I feel as though brushing the mix up off because of the amount of food or the price is ridiculous and unprofessional. This matter could have been easily resolved if he had offered to fix me the correct meal or even offered sincere condolences without his justifications. As a first time Spring Creek customer, it definitely left me with no desire to visit again anytime soon. read more

Spring Creek is really underrated. I'm reviewing the location closest to me, but I go to several locations with friends and family and we all agree that our favorite thing about Spring Creek is that the food is always what we expect. Their smoked chicken is excellent, and we all love the freshly baked rolls they bring around to the tables. If I had to find a complaint about something, I'd say that their mac n' cheese is pretty blah, but the rest of their food is great! read more
