The brisket didn't have much flavor and the sauce was a little watery . The ribs were ok but not flavorful enough for me to go back. Cheesy potatoes were home cooked and has great potential with a little more seasoning and a thicker cheese sauce. The peach cobbler needed more sugar because it was a little tart and they had some type of bunt cake but it was dry. read more

God bless my coworker!!! Anytime "she" is hungry "WE" end up eating...LOL. Today's lunch adventures happen to bring us here. She ordered me the over stuffed potato topped with brisket.

Buttttttt this stuffed potato...CHILE it was ENORMOUS!!! Jam packed with butter, sour cream, scallions, cheese, meat and BBQ sauce. I only have one word to describe this potato....YUM! Tender brisket, piping hot and soft potato and the barbecue sauce had a wonderful flavor. read more

This hidden gem is right next to my my house and a friend of mine that use to work down the street from my house swears this is one of the best bbq joints in town. I will say it's not the best but there are definitely worse. It was my first time so the person behind the counter was very nice and patient and was even good at making recommendations for me. He saw i wanted a stuffed potato but i also wanted to try their ribs so he recommended a house special for 10.99 Where I got my fully loaded potato and 2 meats so I got to try their ribs and sausage, both were ok ribs weren't seasoned but they were fall of the bone and so tender sausage was something i could pick up at Kroger. All in all I would go back to try something different looked like they had some good sides as well. read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que - Loaded baked potato ribs and sausage - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Great customer service! Good size servings at a reasonable price. Unfortunately the meat was a little bland and could use more seasoning/smoking. I had the brisket & chicken. They offer a good variety of vegetables & sides and their peach cobbler is amazing. Overall it's a great family friendly restaurant. read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que - Two Meat Special (Friday's Only) - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Great bbq and great service. Can be a great place for one on one because of low but ambient noise.

I'm telling you.. this place is THE BEST bbq in the DFW area. As much as I love their brisket and sausage, the turkey is the #1 meat on the menu. So tender every single time. Me and my husband chose them to cater our wedding and every one of our guests were ranting and raving about the Texas bbq they ate. Not to mention, the owner Tony and his wife are so kind and sweet. Such a heartwarming family friendly location that I will always continue to frequently visit. OH and the sweet tea and cheesy potatoes are excellent as well. read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que - Turkey, sausage, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, sweet tea - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Good BBQ and a great value. I haven't been here in over 10 years but they made me feel like a regular.

Let me say that this place was better than I thought it was going to be. Walking in, I felt like a transported to a 60' s cafeteria. The atmosphere is kinda outdated, but it also had a charm. I ordered the rib and brisket dinner with fried okra and coleslaw. One thing that took me by surprise was the meat is actually moist. The ribs had a few dry spots, but overall, it was tender. The problem was the meat had no punch to its flavor. They call it a smokehouse, yet there's no strong smoke flavor. It kind of there, but it tastes more like it was baked in the oven rather than smoked. This is the same problem with Metzlers, which I find interesting. The coleslaw was quite creamy and could have used a little more vinegar. The okra was pretty good crunch wise, but okra cant hold the entire meal. The sauce they serve is pretty good, but nothing amazing. I was pleased with my meal, but I still would rather go to Hutchins or Pecan Lodge. If you really want BBQ and find yourself in the Richardson area, I guess this isnt a bad choice, but its certainly not the best. read more

This has always been my go to bbq spot on Friday and Saturday as their 2 meat special is an amazing deal. Tony the owner greets me right away as I walk in and his wife is always very nice. I love going here and will keep going here forever. I usually get turkey and ribs. Their brisket and sausage are really good also. read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que - 2 meat combo plate - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Love their BBQ and size for the money it's worth it. It gets busy but it's good eating. Plus it's close to the job and that's always a plus. I normally do the two meat special and self serving sides so you can pretty much load it up. I always leave overloaded lol read more

ribs were overcooked and flavorless. no wonder they asked me if I wanted sauce 3 times.....

I hate liars. The food is good but I hate liars. The main reason I tried them was their menu said ALL SANDWICHES INCLUDE TWO SIDES. That's a lie. All PO'BOYS include two sides. The standard sandwich on bun or Texas toast does not. IT'S A SANDWICH PEOPLE. A PO'BOY IS A SPECIFIC TYPE OF SANDWICH KIND OF LIKE A SUB. IT'S NOT A SANDWICH WITH TWO SIDES. I'm going back to Dickies - at least they don't lie and they stand behind their advertised prices. read more

Really nice atmosphere with a decent price and great food to top it off, my family will be back!

Perfectly average BBQ. Full disclosure: I did eat here at about 2, so the food turnover wasn't very high. I bet that the food is better during the lunch rush. I had some peach cobbler, some hot links, sliced brisket, beans and a roll. The hot links were good. I've had better, but they were much better than the brisket, which was dry and largely devoid of flavor. The BBQ sauce was decent and made the brisket acceptable. The beans were alright. The roll was stale and bland; I didn't even eat half. Peach cobbler was okay, though lacking in spices like cinnamon. If you're wanting perfectly average BBQ for a reasonable price, this fits the bill. read more

This is a good place if you are looking for bbq where the smoke is the flavor. I had the ribs which were very tender. The prices and good customer service will have you visit again. However, this isn't my favorite style of bbq. read more

OK - you really have to pull up your blinders past the surroundings! But as soon as you walk through their doors everything else is forgotten. Came in on a Friday around 1pm - only one table was occupied and no LINE!! The "take your order" young guy was very polite and so nice - that real ole Texas nice attitude that you do not find lately nowadays!! Had the time to chit chat and joke a bit with me! Well, now comes the "ouch" part...the food was oooo-k...the beef was a bit dry for my taste and the sausage (asked for normal sausage) was a bit too spicy but the kicker was the steamed broccoli - it was EXCELLENT - just perfect!! That is why they get the 3 stars. Clean place, great service and OK food but awesome broccoli! read more

I said in my last post I won't be here again, well today was a luncheon for work-team of about 20 people including myself so I had no choice, and who passes on free food? I got the same thing, I previously did from my past post but with sausage, fries, Mac N Cheese. This time I requested BBQ Sauce. I'll keep this short and sweet. The bread this time was buttered generously (I guess they saw my review). Their was A LOT of sausage, and the sausage was delicious. Well cooked and nice big pieces. Overall I was very pleased! The Mac N Cheese could of had some pepper and salt on it. The fries could of been crispier and salted. But they werent bad. The entree satisfied me so I'm happy. I'm a fan now. Also my coworker got the same as I did but with brisket and my Goodness, they LOADED her sandwich! They are very generous with their meats for the price! read more

Best BBQ in the area and Tony is the absolute best! Tony catered our wedding and the reception hall filled with full and happy guests. I can't say enough about how great this place is. All of the standard fare like the brisket and beans are all great but you HAVE to try the turkey, sausage, and cheesy potatoes; out of this world amazing. After you're done stuffing your face with all of this amazing BBQ, do yourself a favor and take a minute to say hi to Tony. You'll make a friend for life and, believe me, this guy remembers every single guest whether it's your 2nd or 52nd time coming in. read more

This was a really good mom and pop type establishment. The food was fresh and the cook was cutting the meat out front. The staff was very friendly. It was our first time and they helped us out and even told us about a different special than the one that was posted outside. My daughter is a finicky eater and she loved it. We will be back. read more

I dont know what the hill billy in the reviews was talking about, dont think he was talking about texas smokehouse because the bbq here is great! Everything made in house, tony is a very cool guy really relaxed environment will probably become a regular daily specials and the price is just right for bbq read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que - Pulled pork sandwich sauce is just right! - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Got treated to lunch here, and while this may not be anywhere near the best BBQ I've had it was still pretty damn good. The portions are generous, and the bbq sauce is spot on. The cafeteria style is a little off putting honestly, but it's not as big a deal to me as long as the food is good. read more

2 weeks ago we took some clients here for lunch. The BBQ was pretty good. I had brisket. It was moist (A+). Could have been seasoned a little more along with the cook sides (B+). Overall, I would still eat here. Prices are better than some of the other local chains, but then you sacrifice the quality a tad bit. read more

The service is friendly but the meat is severed cold like its literally sitting there wrapped in plastic until its time to order it. They also keep making cheesy potatoes and the cheese taste like dollar tree water cheese super bland and plain tasting. The green beans are even flavorless. Pretty expensive for what you're getting i will not be back. read more

I have to give my review to stick up for all the negative reviews This is one of the best $10.00 lunches in the area...Each day there is a special Very basic BBQ joint....Beef ribs on Friday, half chicken on Weds. 2 meat plate on Friday good sides, it's not old school Texas BBQ but it's a great value for a good hot meal. Very friendly, great portions, nice clean place. I love it for lunch. read more

I guess I missed "the good time" for their BBQ. Ordered 1/2 lb brisket and 1/2 lb ribs. Worst BBQ I've ever had. Ribs were bone dry, meat hard and chewy and tasted like the ones I cook in my crockpot. Brisket also very dry, bland, no BBQ flavor whatsoever. If you serve until you run out of food, then have the decency to close when you run out of edible food. Stayed clear of all sides as they were old, hardened and dried out, much like the meat. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Please please please PLEASE do not waster your time. Seriously, I went at 1:00 PM no line. I ordered 2 meats pulled pork and sausage added a baked potato and a drink. Meal came with a Texas toast close to $15. Pulled pork - Extremely dry and PLAIN, no seasoning at ALL. Sausage - Cold and extremely salty Baked potato - Just ok nothing special, it's a baked potato. My coworker had the 3 meats, pulled pork, sausage and ribs. The ribs were extremely tender, but just like everything else had no flavor. I mean seriously you would think with the name TEXAS SMOKHOUSE BAR-B-QUE it would be worthwhile. But everyone seriously go somewhere else this place doesn't even deserve 1 star as far as the food. The staff and service were fine. my recommendation: Just DON'T read more

Ate here today...I might go back as it's really close to my work but other than that I can't imagine I'd go back here. It's "Ok" for sure. Cons: No rub or pepper on the ribs or brisket of any kind. Meat on the ribs was totally falling off as if it had been stewed. Just totally overcooked. I asked the guy cutting the brisket if he could give me some of the moist or fatty brisket and he just gave me the dry "Flat" and couldn't careless about my request or there's a chance he didn't speak english I suppose. The vegitalbles looked as plain as can be. The green beans looked like someone dumped a gallon can of those thick green beans in a pan and said, "Green beans are done". (sorry, I like some bacon and onion) And the beans both sweet and pintos had nothing speacial in them. It was just like hopital vegs. to tell you the truth. Pros: Nice and friendly people The sause tasted good I actually like the cafeteria style I loved the hot links Great Root Beer! Conclusion: This place is as middle of the road no frills BBQ as it comes. It's fine if you are hungry. read more

I'm being generous with three stars, but then again I wouldn't give dickeys or spring creek a single star but this place is still miles apart from being in the echelon of Cattleack BBQ, Pecan Lodge, Franklin's, Krietz, or Blacks - just to name some of the best in the entire country. Nonetheless, I dig the decorations, old school. Generous portions. Fatty brisket is juicy but lacks smoke. Same with the chicken. Overall, average bbq but better than the chain bbq restaurants. Service was short but friendly. I won't be going back but that's because I'm spoiled by the top tier bbq joints I mentioned earlier. read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Excellent food and comfortable dining atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Excellent value.

Lousy atmosphere, inedible or mediocre side dishes, but a GREAT place for meat with INCREDIBLE barbecue for the money & great service. reasonable prices also very CLEAN the only weakness is the lack of good side items , the french fries are mediocre at best, & only the Texas toast is up to par. That said , it is possible to buy JUST the meat & several varieties together If you like meat this is a GREAT place to go. It is also possible to get their meat takeout by the pound & match it with your own sides, or sides from other restaurants in the area. Turkey, beef briskit, sausage , hot links , chicken , all great & make up for the lack of good side dishes! read more

Stumbled on this place by total accident today. I was actually trying to go to Wing Stop, which my phone said was nearby. Turned out to be a corporate office and they wouldn't make lunch for me. So I sauntered across the street to try some BBQ. Went in about 12:30 and there was no line at all. In fact, there were only about six people eating lunch at the time. I assume I caught them on a slow day. The man behind the counter was very friendly, happy to have a conversation and recognized some folks that came in after me. Nice to see that it's a local kind of place. I ordered the chicken sandwich, a side of cheese potatoes and some peach cobbler to go. The sandwich was very good and I liked the BBQ sauce too. A little sweet, actually. I consider myself a peach cobbler snob, but I was disappointed in what I got. Oh well. Decent food, very friendly staff, pretty lonely atmosphere. read more

I have been eating and enjoying this establishment for years. I have had BBQ from states such as FL, IA, CA, NV, and TX, and let me say, for the quality of the meat, such as flavor, and the sauce, you can't get much better. No BBQ chain has been able to compare with Texas Smokehouse. Their brisket is always amazing, many times, the bark of the meat just causing me to almost faint with happiness. The hot links are the BEST I have ever had. Not only do they melt in your mouth, they possess the best flavor I have enjoyed concerning links, and the ribs are just mind blowing. What you do not get with this place is a piece of meat, blanketed in a million different spices and rubs. What you do get is the supreme flavor of smoked meat, smoked with excellent wood, producing the best flavors, the way it should be. The sauce also is another compliment. It is a tomato-based type of sauce, with both hints of sweet and spicy. You first taste it, and taste the sweetness. Then, the heat will kick in afterwards. Truly enjoyable. Sides are always homemade and compliment well. Also, this place has superior value. Their lunch specials are priced very affordable, and you get a really good amount of meat as well. Want a truly exceptional smoked turkey for Thanksgiving? Pick up one of theirs! Other places, such as chains, will charge up to $49.99 for a smoked turkey during the holiday season. Texas Smokehouse charges $29.99! I have used them for fulfilling my Thanksgiving turkey searches twice, and everyone who had it said it was the best smoked turkey they had ever had. The owner, Tony, and his lovely wife, are truly gracious and give great customer service and conversation. Support and enjoy!! Hailz and Hornz! read more

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Que? More like Texas Shit House Overpriced Garbage. I came in for lunch, around 12:30pm. Like the damn fool I am, I was expecting fresh, hot food. Nope! I ordered the brisket, and it was not only cold, but tasted like it was leftovers from the last (presumably slow) business day. The only real upside to the Brisket is that I was given a good amount, maybe nearly a pound. There was no real quality to the brisket though, it was fatty, chewy, and overall of low quality. I felt taunted by the great quantity of such low quality meat. It was edible, I will say, but I felt I was being robbed of the joy of eating while consuming it. I ordered to go, and was informed two sides came with my meal. The "restaurant" (I use that term loosely) is set up buffet style as far as it comes to sides, think Spring Creek BBQ or basically any other BBQ place you've been to. The thug behind the counter scolded me when I tried to get extra BBQ sauce for myself, as it "already come with some". They did not allow me to serve myself my sides, instead opting for the ape to dole out their poorly made, sad accompaniments himself. I chose the Potato Salad, and Fries. You know, stuff thats really easy to do. I was playing it safe. What's really sad is when I got back to work to eat, the to-go cups of BBQ sauce were only half filled... Wow dude. Way to spit in my face. There wasn't even enough to cover all the meat. If you are like me, you want a bit of the action of the BBQ sauce with every bite of meat you get, and I didn't get that. There was maybe enough BBQ sauce to cover 1/4 of the meat I was given. If you choose not to heed my warning of this terrible, dilapidated joint, at least argue with the felons running this joint to let you have a bit more sauce. Oh, but I could not play it too safe with this shit-joint. The crinkle cut fries were mushy, cold, and lifeless. The potato salad tasted.. wrong. Way, way, WAY too much mustard was used in preparation. Do they cater to old, sick, dying people with no taste buds? Because there is no need for that amount of mustard. The consistency was that of instant potatoes, and not fluffy at all. Another failure. All in all... I wouldn't recommend this place. I went because it was close to my work, and I was hungry. I ended up at least getting full of of this, but there are much better choices for Texas-style BBQ in Richardson and surrounding areas. For 13.05 for lunch, including drink, this was a big letdown, and a waste of money. They screwed the pooch on that, because the only saving grace of this sad shit hole would have been if it was cheap. read more

Had their special of the day which was pulled pork. It didn't blow my mind or anything but it was satisfying. Pretty generous portions of meat, fair prices, and good tasting. Can't wait to try their other selections. read more
