A hidden gem. When I think BBQ, I think of stores opened for decades where the wood paneling are stained and soaked with smoke, western decor and usually a stand-alone building looking out of place. So imagine my surprise when I discovered this place, new and part of a strip center. I saw the reviews and decided to try it. I had the 2-meat platter with pulled pork & smoked turkey breast, wife had hot links and sliced brisket. All were good. As a Texan, I'm almost embarrassed to admit I prefer pulled pork over brisket, but both were really good. Hot links were actually spicy. I was surprised. Turkey was really good as well. Not a bad side with our order either. Beans, Cole slaw, Green Beans and Broccoli & Cheese Casserole. All, very good. Wife had the banana pudding and demolished it before I had a chance to try a spoonful. Staff is nice and friendly. Really enjoyed it and will be back. read more

Well I have a lot of BBQ in my life for me this was average. I was hoping for the mouth watering bam effect but it is good just without the excitement of it looking just good. Portions were good. Service was good.absolutely love the inside decor. Just need more smoke maybe pecan and apple wood. Probably be back. read more

Texas Star BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hurst, Texas

People working the line didn't seem to know what they were doing, so that wasn't a promising start. The meats were tasty, but cold. Sides weren't great, beans tasted like canned ranch beans and the broccoli rice casserole was horrible, cheese tasted like canned nacho cheese. Cold and hard dinner roll, please serve either plain white bread or better yet butter toasted texas toast! read more

5 stars for the Texas Star. Small spot,big flavor. Brisket had a perfect bark, was juicy, had a tender pull. Ribs, fall of the bone tender, great smokiness, meaty. Sides we're spectacular. The mac was pot cooked rather than baked with a cheddary crust. The broccoli cheese casserole was pretty good though. Texas toast went through too fast so it wasn't toasted enough. For the price though, at a sit down bbq joint, was a ton of flavor and on the generous portion size to be close to $5 below the usual chain restaurants. This is a cozy hometown family owned and operated business that deserves the foot traffic it's getting. I'm home,but still have good bbq smoke wafting off my shirt. Gotta love that real wood aroma. Take care of yourselves. Peace. read more

This is probably one of the worst places I have ordered BBQ from. I also ordered a peach cobbler dessert and it's so burnt and dried up! The brisket was ice cold. It doesn't matter if it was 20 minutes away, it's shouldn't be ICE cold. read more

Ordered online. They charged me an extra $8 because I ordered online. And I picked it up. Don't trust this place.

Visiting from LA on a work trip, I wanted to grab a bite of something local before flying back home and I'm so glad I did. Everything on my plate was out-of-this-world delicious. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful in guiding me through the options. My only problem now is wondering if I'll ever find BBQ this good back in Los Angeles probably not! I'm not sure when I'll be back in town, but when I do return, I will definitely be revisiting. Cheers! read more

Texas Star BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hurst, Texas

Was excited to try the place on a Saturday afternoon. Me and 3 friends dropped in. Everyone except me had brisket and said it was good. My ham was horrible and the sides were not any good for me as well. Service was friendly and quick. Honestly I'm not sure I would give it a second try. Maybe time will change my mind. read more

The place is cozy (small) but clean. The men behind the counter were very polite and friendly. The food though was very disappointing. The place was overpowered with the stench of smoke but yet there was no smoke rings to be found any where on the food. It's not down home BBQ that's for sure. I won't be going back. Sorry I didn't take photos, it just wasn't good to the point of justifying a photo. read more

I met the owner, Ben, who was a great guy. He gave me a tour of the kitchen/smoker. I got the combo with pork ribs and brisket. The sides were mac and cheese and a broccoli with rice and cheese casserole. It was fantastic. Ben will take care of you. read more

Amazzzzzzing bbq. Everyone, come here, except when I want to because I don't want a line :). This is a family-owned bbq joint in Hurst near the mall. The brisket was so juicy (and it didn't even appear that fatty) Is it magic? Maybe. The pork ribs were fallin right off the bone. My test with any bbq joint is whether I can eat the meat without bbq sauce and love it. This place passes with flying colors. However, don't be skimpin on that bbq sauce. It's so good here--in fact, they advised we mix the sweet and spicy and it was perfection. The cherry on top for this Texas Star BBQ is that the staff are so kind and helpful. I will be back. For. Sure. read more

We were kindly greeted and seated! We were in a bit of a hurry, so we quickly ordered and received our food in a timely manner. The service was really great and the food was hot and fresh. Next time, I will take pictures and include more details. We will be back. read more

My wife and I just had lunch there. We had the 2 meat plate with Ribs and brisket. They were both great. We had fries and potato salad as sides. Except for missing bacon bits, the potato salad was as good as my German grandmothers. The fries were cooked perfectly and we even enjoyed their mild sauce. We will be going back again in the future. read more

Good smoke flavor and very tender, I would eat it every day if I could. Also great service very friendly.

I pride myself on being a home barbecue pit master that has high reviews from friends, family and neighbors. This barbecue blows mine away. My specialty is brisket, it appears the Texas Star Barbecue specializes in EVERYTHING! I literally think you would be shocked at how good everything is no matter what you order. The service was also second to none... I asked the owner how he can cook this well. Instead of a canned answer I got his whole life story including introducing me to his brother, who also works there, and some other family members who happened to be there. The atmosphere is fantastic with the decor and size of the place. It's got everything you would expect in a genuine Texas Barbecue. On my list of top 5 it's easily number 1 read more

The Frito pie was great. The cobbler with ice cream should have been free....It had no sugar.....? read more

Nice atmosphere and friendly but the rolls were the only thing that was good. The brisket was very dried out.

Convenient, Great Tastes, Good Service. Perfect spot to stop in while traveling for work. I was starving and I left with a very satisfied belly. I wanted to try a dessert, either the banana pudding or peach cobbler. I tried to ask which one he recommended but he thought I asked for both (lol) so I ended up getting charged for two desserts. Oh well. I didn't complain because I did want to try both. The peach cobbler was okay, but the banana pudding I would definitely return for!!! The veggies did not look super appealing or fresh but I was there after peak lunch time, so maybe that was why. I would return to this place for the good brisket, atmosphere, and banana pudding! read more

This is good bbq. I'd go back. 3.5 if I could do 1/2 points. Brisket was really good and that is my primary measure. The ribs and pork were good. The sides were just ok. We were in towards close and were the only ones there. read more

Stopped by for lunch, staff just stared at me when I walked in, asked for meat recommendations and one of the guys seemed annoyed, there was no one else in line maybe he was having bad day. Food was average, best thing I ate was the casserole and pickled jalapeños. The staff did greet the female guest who came in after me quite a bit differently. I never felt like I was welcome there. I'm glad some people had good experiences here, mine wasn't. read more

Texas Star BBQ - Brisket - Sausage - Beans - Casserol - Barbeque Near Me - Hurst, Texas

I had a taste for some decent rib tips so I decided to give the place a try. I'm not sure what was worse the service or the food. The place was completely empty, that should have been my first clue. The two guy behind the counter could barely speak English and we're pretty dry. Against my better judgment I ordered a rib tip sandwich which was about 10 bucks. Got home opened the container and I knew I made a mistake. The damn rib tips were gray , and absolutely disgusting. I took one bite and threw them in the garbage. So my advice is don't waste your $$ on this place, it's % trash.. read more

I've been to Texas Star Bbq between Texas and Louisiana and there's a big difference. I ordered brisket, chicken, mac, and broccoli rice cheese casserole. Everything was severely underwhelming. The food lacked seasoning and was unappealing. I am not a fan of this location. read more

This is one of those places you try once and never go back. Sorry excuse for BBQ. Two guys behind counter don't even get me started...

Location is convenient with ample parking in modest neighborhood. barbecue spot with very friendly and helpful staff. The highlight of our meal was pork ribs, sweet tea, and rice casserole. The negative is a very soupy mac & cheese and very dry sliced brisket (not juicy and tender). read more

Their brisket was above par. This place is cute, the staff very southern hospitably, and the food is amazing. I got the pork sandwich plate: pinto beans were too salty, green beans were delicious, and the pork was tender delicious and in good portion. My husband got the brisket chopped sandwich plate: okra was fresh and delicious, the mac and cheese was quickly cleared off his plate and I got to sample the brisket, divine. The brisket melted in my mouth with juicy delicious fat and salt and smokiness...yum! The place itself is small but clean and well decorated with Texas charm. We'll be back. read more

It's a small place where you order and pay at the counter. The food, especially the brisket was fantastic! Will go back.

This place has gotten a lot of hype with the reviews so I wanted to check it out.So me and my mom came here for lunch today.I got the three meat plate.My meats were the brisket,sausage and ribs.My sides were Mac and cheese and potato salad.lets start off with the brisket.It was nice and tender and had a pretty good flavor to it.Next we're the ribs which I thought were just ok.They lacked flavor and parts of it were kind of chewy.Last was the sausage which i thought was pretty good.Now my mom got the chopped brisket sandwich plate which she says was pretty good.I would say overall it was pretty solid but a little overhyped in my opinion.I would recommend this place if your in the neighborhood.Im not sure if I would go out of my way.But another plus about this place are the prices.They are pretty reasonable considering how much BBQ is.If your in the neighborhood give this place a shot. read more

Very unassuming from the outside. The interior was cute and clean and simple in its Texan style. Very inexpensive I ordered two meats turkey and brisket. My sides broccoli and cheese and macaroni. My friends ordered chicken and rib tips, pinto beans and coleslaw. I wouldn't get the macaroni again because it was a thin sauce is a no. But everything else was fantastic! Brisket was tender, nice and smoky and juicy. For me the turkey was tops! Juicy, good flavor and again with a nice smoke. We shared some bites and everyone's meat orders were delicious. The young men running the front were extremely polite and helpful with ordering. Price was good and if I ever go back I hope they are still there. read more

This is the best barbecue around in my opinion. I'm so glad that they open their doors. Friendly staff, and great food!

This is my familys FAVORITE BBQ joint. The loaded BBQ baked potato is ah-mazing! I also appreciate that the kids plate is not outrageously priced. read more

The brisket was very good. Nice and juicy. The chicken was almost falling off the bone. Slaw was creamy and the broccoli cheese was great. All around very good. Especially for the price. Very economical! read more

Our first visit. Seems to be a family owned business The prices were fair. The portions were good. There was a good flow of customers. The flavors were very good. I had the chopped beef sandwich with broccoli cheese and potato salad. My sponsor had the combo plate of smoked turkey and sausage with fried okra and macaroni cheese. They offer 3 BBQ sauces - Sweet, Hot, Spicy. Condiments Table also. read more

Service was terrible and most staff members were unfriendly, other than the kind lady behind the register! Food was just meh. The brisket had no smoke ring and was dry as heck. Pulled pork sandwich was decent, but I wouldn't come here again. read more

I was in TX and wanted some BBQ. Called the place they were amazing on the phone so decided to Uber there. Very clean and super nice and got their most popular dish brisket with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and beans. And a roll warmed up. Also got all their bbq sauces. The food was good just was hoping that it was hot and not luke warm temp. Didn't feel like a great experience for a pretty good place. The crazy part is they should have listened when I said will be hot and all three men were like yes it is. Listen to your clients. read more

Texas Star BBQ - Brisket, Mac and cheese and beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Hurst, Texas

Food was really good. Ambiance was nice and the people were very friendly. Highly recommend you try.

Tried this place out the other day and got a family pack. Very affordable! Thought the brisket was pretty good, enjoyed the jalapeño cheddar sausage (not listed on the menu, but ask for it! They have it!). I thought the broccoli cheddar casserole was really good. My husband loved their macaroni and cheese. I could not get enough of their sweet bbq sauce, you could really taste the honey come through and it was so rich and delicious. Overall I wouldn't mind coming back here and checking out some of their other offerings! read more

Very good bbq place located in Hurst. Service was excellent, food quality was great, and it's a quaint restaurant. This was our 1st time here. We enjoyed it! And, we'll be back! read more

Very tasty bbq and sides. Everything was fresh, not dried out. And homemade. The owners and staff (Amir, Ben, Alex & Mo) were all friendly and helpful. We had sliced brisket, sausage, pork loin and turkey for meats with potato salad, pinto beans, broccoli rice and fried okra for sides. Loved everything! We got a loaded baked potato with chopped brisket, Mac n cheese and peach cobbler to go for our son and granddaughter which they said was also very good. Plenty of traditional jalapeños, pickles, onions and lemons at the self serve table. The seating area is plenty big and decorated with Texas country. Will definitely go again and take a cooler of adult beverages with us. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. read more
