I've never written a BBQ review before but this place requires it. By far the best brisket I've ever come across and I have a LOT of experience with BBQ. The sides were great, prices reasonable, and staff very friendly. Can't believe I just now discovered this place but I'll definitely be back read more

First visit to Sullivan's Old Town BBQ in Lewisville and it was incredible -- an easy 5/5 . The BBQ was outstanding. The brisket was tender and smoky, the pulled pork was excellent, and the bologna was surprisingly one of my favorites. Sides were just as good -- creamy potato salad, fresh coleslaw, and flavorful collard greens. The jalapeño cornbread was also a great touch. You order at the counter when you walk in and they greet you right away. They even ring a bell for first-time customers, which adds a fun, welcoming vibe. Throughout the meal the owner and staff came by to check on us and even refilled drinks, which you don't see very often at a place like this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great homey atmosphere with a large outdoor patio as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely worth the drive to Old Town Lewisville if you want truly great BBQ and friendly service. read more

i ate here twice on a business trip, and will definitely go back the next time im in town. great food, great friendly service, and my group even met the owner. 5 star experience! read more

While the service was outstanding, the food, unfortunately, did not meet expectations. I ordered the two-meat combo plate featuring ribs and jalapeño sausage, which came with two sides, Grandma's collard greens and fried okra. Jalapeño Sausage: This was the highlight of the meal. Cooked to perfection with excellent flavor. Ribs: Disappointing. Although they were smoked, they lacked seasoning and were very bland. Grandma's Collard Greens: Underwhelming. They were undercooked and had an overpowering vinegar taste. Fried Okra: Just okay. Edible but nothing memorable. I had heard many great things about this place before visiting, so I came in with high expectations. Sadly, my first visit was a letdown and felt like a waste of $28. Bottom Line: Excellent staff and service, but the food needs significant improvement. read more

Was really hoping to find a hidden gem based on the reviews but not the case. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First the a/c was out and had been all week. It's Texas and the middle of the summer - you get that fixed ASAP.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meat was good but the sides disappointing. No beans for one and the other sides just ho hum with nothing special. They had a special desert listed on the board but were out of it and out of the drink I wanted. The staff seemed friendly however. Was looking for a good local bbq restaurant for regular visits but this is not it. read more

Had a hankering for BBQ and wanted to support local. I went with the 2 meat platter, comes with 2 sides. I had the pulled pork, lean brisket w/ mac N cheese and potatoe salad. Both meats were on par. The Mac N Cheese was the star of the show. Sooo creamy and sooo good! The potatoe salad, was...potatoe salad. Added a rib and a Texas Twinkie The rib was amazing! Nice flavor and fall of the bone meat. The Texas Twinkie was mid for me as I personally would've liked more brisket inside. Service was spectacul[[HIGHLIGHT]]ar! Don't let the construction out front scare ya, give it a t[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]ry! read more

I ordered loaded nachos with brisket, to go. Portion size was good, amount of brisket was good. Negatives were: not enough cheese (ended up with lots of extra tortilla chips), not enough sour cream, and no bbq sauce. I did think to ask for pickled jalapeños which (was an extra .50). Oh and the salsa on the side was good too. Next time I know to ask for extra sour cream and bbq sauce on the side. $14 felt high but I know bbq anywhere is pricey so it was worth it. read more

Sullivan Texas BBQ - Loaded nachos with brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

If you want true Texas bbq experience this is a must go spot!! Portions are HUGE, prices are good and the owner and the staff are so friendly as well. Their brisket is soooo juicy and they have so many choices for sides. Their pork rib portion great for the price!! I've taken couple of my friends visiting from out of town and they were very impressed as well. We always leave here feeling extra full!! And usually have leftovers. I think this might be my new favorite BBQ spot in DFW area. Honestly it's a MUST TRY! I'm surprised it's not as well known as some other BBQ places. If you're visiting Dallas and you want good bbq, this is the place!! read more

We found the outside quaint and inviting. Inside was simple, tables and chairs with an open plating and serving area. We were able to order fairly quickly and our plates were ready in minutes. My son ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and mild sausage. Both were tender and seasoned. The brisket is a little salty but, tasty. Cole slaw was different in flavor but, I liked it. Mac and cheese was just ok for me but, my son loved it. I ordered the loaded nachos and was kind of disappointed. The picture on the website has pico, grated cheese and sour cream and looked delicious. Mine was just liquid cheese, chips and chopped brisket. Now the brisket was VERY good mind you. But, it looked better with all the "loaded" toppings. Loaded to me means loaded. Not just cheese and meat. I would return tho and try the loaded baked potato or maybe just some sliced brisket. read more

Was in the area for work and was in the mood for BBQ. Looked for places near by and found Sullivan's. It did not disappoint, the brisket and pork ribs were tender and cooked perfectly. They added a brisket end and it was delicious, I should of asked for just a plate of those. Mac n Cheese was also delicious, some really good white cheddar Mac n cheese. Coleslaw was ok, it's hard for me to find a coleslaw I like as I like a certain style. Overall I highly recommend giving them a try if in the area and want some good BBQ. read more

Very excited to try this place. Came with a family of 4, ordered 1 lb of brisket, 1/2 rack of ribs, 1/2 lb of jalapeño sausage, 1 pint of Mac and cheese, 1 quart of fries. Brisket was tender, even the lean part. Some at the table thought it was too tender and fell apart. Ribs were tender but not fall off the bone, just enough bite. Sausage was good as well. The fries were the best part of the meal, well fried and crispy. The Mac and cheese was good, but not amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was roomy with enough space to line up indoors to order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait was short. read more

This is why you visit Texas! What a great experience! As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed with the smell of smoking and roasting meats! Just damn good. The owner was handing out samples of brisket which is an absolute MUST! We got the platter of 4 meats and 4 sides and it was plenty (maybe a bit much) for 3 people! Worth every penny and if I ever come back to this area - this is where I'll go for BBQ read more

We have been to Sullivan's several times and it is always delicious. Meats are great, the loaded potato is great, chili, stew, greens - fantastic.

Met my daughter here for lunch and everything was delicious. I had brisket and pulled pork with mac-n-cheese and creamed corn which was more Mexican corn to me than country style cream corn but it was delicious!!! I want to say they put chimichuri in it, don't pass on this item, unique and craveable. My daughter had the Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage sandwich, it was had a nice flavor and not a lot of heat. At the table they offer 3 BBQ sauces, Original, Bourbon Whiskey and Habanero for those who want to spice things up. I'm glad we gave this place a try and hope you'll do the same, it's worth it...can't wait to take my wife. read more

Our first stop on our barbeque tour- Sullivan was super friendly. The manager gave us a piece of brisket with chimichurri on it- holy cow! I loved that they had smoked cabbage as a side, which is super unique. The corn muffins were decent but I would pass next time (they weren't warm either). We preferred the ribs over the brisket, and the jalapeño cheddar had a great snap. I also loved that there were some unique desserts, so I got the buttermilk pie. They have local soda, and the manager came by and chatted with us a few times. Definitely friendly and relaxed vibe here. read more

This is on our rotation for work lunch. Incredible food and hospitality. I have recommended to a lot of people.

When I first landed in Texas, I was on a mission: hunt down the best barbecue joints in the state. This city girl had some pretty wild expectations, imagining every spot to be tucked away in old gas stations and timeworn shacks straight out of the Old West. Spoiler alert: most of these places are shiny, new, and probably have marketing teams that know more about social media algorithms than brisket. Still, I make it a point to check out the top-rated spots--but my heart? It belongs to the rough-around-the-edges gems. And this place? It's one of those hidden treasures. Sure, the outside area is still under construction, but who in their right mind wants to brave the Texas summer heat at 101 degrees? Certainly not me! Inside, the vibe is just right: menu up on the board, and every time a new customer walks in, the whole crew shouts, "Hello! Welcome in!" Some folks even get the coveted "more cowbell" shout-out. It's the kind of place where you feel like you've stumbled onto something special. Now, if you're scouring Yelp for this spot, there are a couple of things you should know: they've recently axed the turkey sandwich and the Cuban-inspired brisket sandwich from the menu. But before you despair, they've added a sausage sandwich made with bratwurst on a house-made pretzel bun that's already calling my name for my next visit. This time around, we went for the 3-meat special to share (pro tip: check in on Yelp and snag yourself a free soda). Our choices? Sausage, sliced fatty brisket, and pulled pork, with sides of potato salad--ask to have it heated and it turns into a delightful hash brown casserole situation--and elote, which was just okay. Next time, I'll be going for the beans. Now, here's a heads-up: corn muffins are a lunch-only affair. I was eagerly anticipating those homemade rolls, but they only make their grand entrance after 5 PM. As for the meats, the brisket was the clear winner, followed by the sausage and pulled pork. The heated potato salad? Surprisingly delicious. The kitchen is right behind the cashier, with zero barriers, so you can watch the crew slice and dice your order with precision. This place also has a reputation for its pecan pie, and I couldn't help but notice a steady stream of pulled pork nachos flying out of the oven--clearly a popular choice. Our 3-meat combo was just the right amount for two--no leftovers except for one of the two corn muffins. The service? Extremely friendly. And let's not forget the bathrooms--spotless, just like they should be. All in all, this place is a barbecue lover's dream--authentic, unpretentious, and downright delicious. read more

Yep. God bless Texas. This was great BBQ. Brisket super tender and the sausage was very flavorful. Wished the ribs were a little more tender but that's just my personal preference. The service and the care here is unmatched. Super welcoming and inviting atmosphere, gave us an extra cornbread and broski straight walked up to our table and just plopped down some ribs for the vibes. Super good meal, I'll be back for sure. read more

I try not to review the same places twice but I have to for Sullivan Texas BBQ! Stopped in because I needed another Nacho fix and once again they were awesome! We also had a combo plate with Brisket, Corn, Mac and Cheese, and Collard Greens. Those Collard Greens are phenomenal, full of flavor and perfectly tender. Both entrees came with a delicious house made roll and cinnamon butter that we an amazing dessert. I did see a sweet lady handing our Cinnamon Rolls. She ran out just before our table, but she really just saved me from shoving that cinnamon roll in when I was already full. :). I will be back for sure and I hope I can get one next time. As always Mr. Sullivan was working the tables and he exudes Texas hospitality. Highly Reccommended! read more

Recently discovered this place and disappointed I hadn't been sooner. The Wednesday special, smoked prime brisket meatloaf, is phenomenal. Others might get more publicity in DFW, but Sullivan's Old Town BBQ is where it's really at. The pricing is very reasonable for where most other bbq is at right now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service and atmosphere are also top notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't recommend enough!!! read more

The barbecue is really good but the prices are wat too expensive. An order of fries goes for $5 it costed $65 for just the 2 of us.

Was craving bbq and saw this place. A little family owned bbq in Lewisville. It was packed for Saturday night dinner. They had live music which gave it a vibe. Ended up ordering the 1 meat combo with 2 sides. I order the prime brisket with a side of mac and cheese and fries. My cousin ordered the half rack of ribs with mac and cheese. Everything was so delicious. Comes in huge portions. The owners were so nice and was giving out free and hot cinnamon rolls and ribs. You'll for sure leave here so full. read more

First - they hit you with the cinnamon rolls - complimentary of course. The owner rounds and sets a fun and welcoming ambiance (even to those of us from Atlanta!) and checks on you regularly. The bbq (brisket, ribs, sausages, etc). The sides (collard greens, Mac and cheese, potato salad, need I say more?). Friday's = all you can eat catfish. Sweet tea was on point. Staff were personable and very friendly. The mic dropper? The Texas Twinkie. Trust me - you will enjoy it! read more
