Great BBQ place in Dallas. Nice setup in the dining area with a cool ambiance and good service. I had the brisket, sausage and had a side of the Cole slaw and tater tots. My only gripe was that the peach apple cobbler seemed to be a bit too dry on the dessert side. Of course it's more preference but seemed like maybe the juices dried up under the head lamp which made it just a dried out baked top with a bit of fruit below. Otherwise everything was great. Would definitely go back. read more

Right when you walk in there is a line that leads you to order your food. The staff is friendly and fast at getting the line down. I got the chopped brisket sandwich and thought it was great, especially with the bbq sauce. My only complaint is that the parking lot is small, so when we arrived there were no free spots. read more

Wish they had zero stars to give. WORST bbq we've ever had. Went on a Saturday and they had a bbq beef rib featured. Got1 rib, 2 sides and 2 drinks and it costs us $85. No table service, but they wanted us to tip for walking through their serving line! The beef rib was 85% fat with very little meat. Their beans had brisket added but very little flavor. Their potato salad was horseradish based and was not memorable. We don't mind paying for good food, but this was worse than eating gas station sushi! read more

The Slow Bone - Very fatty and expensive beef rib. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food is amazing! Brisket never, ever misses! It's fatty and tasty. The ribs are so soft and the Brussels sprout sides are so tasty! If you want a sandwich the Texas Nail is amazing! Or if you want chicken they got you covered with juicy fried goodness. You'll be greeted with a smile everytime. We've never had a bad experience. read more

Come here for brisket. Run, don't walk. Come here for brisket. It was life changing. Almost buttery. Slightly falls apart. Not stringy. Just immaculate. Nice spot. Easy to park. Easy to order. Easy to find a place to plant yourself and eat the brisket. Highly recommend!!! read more

Slow Bone is fantastic! The meat is the star but don't overlook their homemade sides. I am so impressed. Highly recommend. 5 stars, 6 if I could! read more

We love the staff and service here. BBQ is always great. I normally get the brisket and it never disappoints. Their sauce could be thicker since it causes a runny mess but I love that they have all the sides and condiments. The vibe is a neighborhood joint with friendly faces. Must try! read more

Always delivers a great experience. Delicious ribs and brisket. Fabulous sides. Consistent service. Love this place. I've been eating here for at least 10 years! Bravo. read more

I literally want to fly into Dallas just to eat here again. Everything was INSANELY GOOD. The best mac n cheese I have ever eaten. so flavorful, great ribs, great greens, great beans, I can't even tell you how much I LOVED the food here. I am bummed that I don't live closer. read more

Great owner! Amazing bbq. Great portion sizes. I suggest getting there early because once the lunch rush hits it's busy. Meat was moist. Got sausage and brisket. The sweet potato was delicious. Tater tots and cornbread were ok. read more

3.5. The best thing about our meal was the sides and the sauce! The sweet potato was sooo delicious. I wish we could've tried all the sides! The meats were just ok. We got the brisket, jalapeño sausage, and pulled pork. The brisket was probably the best out of the three. The jalapeño sausage was not my fave. The pulled pork was ok but just needed a lot of sauce. All the barbecue sauces were really good and I loved having the variety. read more

First ones to order on an October Satuday morning 11am. There was only one other person behind us. I'm trying to limit my meat intake, so I ordered 1/4 punt sized sides. Potato salad, brussel flower au gratin and cornbread. Hub got 1/4 lb brisket, 1 pork rib, 1/2 pint mac and cheese and 2 huspuppies. $35 for us to eat. Was underwhelmed by the potato salad, the main driving force for me to try the place. It needed something else, something crunchy, maybe onions. It was just one note...the note of horseradish. I love horseradish...but the potatoes were boring. The au gratin was good. If someone brought that dish to a potluck, I'd eat the heck out of it. I just wouldn't pay for it again. The au gratin sauce had that familiar "boxed potatoes au gratin" flavor. I couldn't shake it. The mac and cheese was okay. The cheese had a very bold flavor, different for Mac and cheese. I'm not a mac and cheese fan in general, but it was better that most I've tried (I don't ever order it, I just try a bite of my husbands). The brisket, again just tried a small bite, lacked smokiness. As many yelpers have said before me, it's true, the brisket is not smoky. It was tender though. The cornbread. If you blindfolded me and I tried it, I wouldn't immediately land on calling it cornbread. The only reason I could tell it was cornbread is because of the corn meal texture. The flavor is very mute but the bread is soft. Hub said that the pork rib was one of the best he's ever had. For all that, 3 stars for me. Side Note, the bathroom was really nice and clean. read more

The Slow Bone - Saturday Oct 19, 2024 - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Brisket / Pork Ribs / Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage & Sweet Potato Praline / Braised Greens / Corn Bread / Hushpuppies Really solid Texas bbq. The tenderness of the brisket and ribs were great. The ribs lacked flavor and I wish the sausage was juicier. Sweet potato Praline was my favorite side. No complaints about any of the sides. Neither Cornbread nor Hushpuppies were dry. Employees were very nice and helpful. I like the ample seating and overall vibe of the restaurant. read more

When in Texas, BBQ is a must, right? So, we decided to try The Slow Bone since we had never been there before. Arriving a little after lunchtime, we were lucky to walk right in without any wait as the lunch rush had passed. To share, my wife and I opted for a split order of brisket, and we each chose our own sides. I went with the baked beans, and my wife was curious about their Mac & Cheese. Alongside our order, they also offered us some cornbread and what seemed like a hush puppy (or maybe they called it that, but I'm not certain). At the condiments bar, we picked up a variety of their BBQ sauces and some pickled onions to complement our meal. We quickly found a cozy seat to dig into this scrumptious food. The brisket was quite good, with a delightful smoked flavor that paired well with their BBQ sauces. We went for both lean and fatty cuts, and both were seasoned to perfection. As for the sides, the baked beans and Mac & Cheese were okay, but nothing extraordinary. Although we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but compare it to the fantastic BBQ we had at Lockhart a couple of nights earlier, which left a more lasting impression on us. That said, if you find yourself in the area, The Slow Bone is still a solid choice for some tasty BBQ and definitely worth a visit. read more

This is just for the Friday special, beef ribs. I got one and while I knew it wouldn't be cheap, I did not think it would be $66 with one side and a drink. The rib was extremely fatty and the taste was poor at best. Not what I expected at all. I'll stick with the fried chicken next time. read more

The brisket and smoked chicken was delicious. Brisket not too smoky but tender and full of flavor. Chicken was moist. The brisket beans and greens are not to be missed. Priced reasonably for this quality. Worth a trip. read more

The bbq is great. The bbq sauce is trash. It's too tangy and they only have one type of sauce. I would come back and pack my own bbq sauce. Seriously! read more

The Slow Bone is one of my favorite Barbecue restaurants near downtown Dallas. Sure, there are foods that you could get at "any" BBQ place, but somehow, they are just elevated here. Add in a couple of unique offerings and it's a real treat. For instance, their brisket beans had huge amounts of brisket in them. Pair that with the honey cornbread and it's a match made in heaven. The brisket chili is another unique gem. Top off the meal with a cornbread pudding and roll out the door! It's also quite a treat to experience real live customer service. The Owner never fails to greet us. And every staff person is pleasant. More than one thanked us for our time. Great, great job y'all! read more

Great food! The Brisket is delicious! The Sweet Joe sauce is magnificent. The pork ribs were some of the best I've ever had & the Smokey chicken was so juicy. The pickles are also delicious! Very friendly staff. I would certainly come back. read more

Stopped in with my nephews on a Sunday afternoon. Sadly they don't do beef ribs on Sundays and they were sold out of pork chops so we didn't get to try either. They only had lean brisket which is not my favorite, but got the thumbs up from us. Fried chicken was surprisingly good - a little on the greasy side but eating it hot was perfect. Pork ribs were the star for us for sure. Great flavor, really tender. They have a green sauce on their sauce bar which was INCREDIBLE. It's like an herby, tangy, mayo type of thing - 10/10 definitely recommend. They do not do combination plates and you must order by weight. 1/4 lb is about one serving. read more

It's greatness, the only thing that sucks here is the parking at lunch time, excellent brisket and rids sides were great read more

Really cute space with really yummy food. Im Not a big bbq aficionado but this place was so yummy! I got fatty brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, mac n cheese ans the brussels sprouts. The brisket was omg good! Everything else was also really yummy but the brisket really stood out for me. Because if the cafeteria style there wasnt that much interaction with the folks there. I felt the service was fine. Nothing special, but also didnt leave me wanting for anything else. Will definitely be back and bring friends and family with me! read more

I've driven past Slow Bone it seems like forever. I finally stopped today and am pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is quaint and well appointed with Texas decor!! The menu has plenty of options if you're not feeling like beef. I had the beef rib, it was HUGE!! So big I saved half for wifey. It was fall off the bone and literally melted in my mouth. One of the best bites ever! I also ordered the greens and thought they were flavorful, not my favorite. The side of cornbread was good as well. All in all a great BBQ joint and to be on the Texas Top 50 is nice!! read more

We always order the fried chicken and sweet potato casserole. This place is a hidden gem. Parking is a pain but the food is consistently delicious and the line is reasonable. It can be challenging finding tables inside but they also have a couple picnic tables outside. We love the brisket, ribs, sausages, turkey, fries, and tater tots. Can't go wrong. read more

I had Porkchop, brisket, pork ribs with mac n cheese. Porkchop was great, Brisket was a little dry for me and the quality wasnt really there for me. the green sauce they had did enhance everything on the platter but again, bbq should hold up on its own without sauce; especially with small portions and big prices. the quality and quantity for the price just didnt match up for me. Environment was nice and they had AC on blast which kept the place nice and cool. tables were clean etc. id say it had a nice atmosphere. Overall 3 stars, prices are inflated i understand, but craftsmanship shouldnt be read more

I cannot get enough of this food! The smoked brisket, ribs, and turkey are off the chart great. Delicious greens (which wasn't always the case because they were half washed) but are now my go-to for every visit. And oh, don't forget the jalapeño and cheese sausage! Don't walk, run to this place. They close at 3p.m. Every day. You'll thank me later. read more

I drive by this place all the time because it looks like an abandoned warehouse if you ignore the signage. Today, I decided to go in about 30 mins before close for lunch. The first lady at the counter seemed like she was ready to go home but was still very helpful. I ordered a pork rib, a piece of fried chicken, collard greens, mac & cheese and cornbread. My friend got a brisket sandwich with mac & cheese, brisket beans, and hush puppies. Our total was around $60. Everything was delicious. Greens were a tad bit on the vinegary side and the brisket beans tasted more like chili but altogether we enjoyed our meal. Would definitely return! read more

I'm pasting my friend's story and review here: I wanted to share a really good story. So Slow Bone Barbecue has always been one of my favorite places to eat in Dallas. This week I was downtown for a doctor's appointment so I decided to go eat lunch there. I was by myself and got my normal two meat plate and two veggies. I sat down and started to eat. About halfway through my lunch, I had a piece of brisket that went down and just stuck in my throat. I tried to remain calm. I took a drink of my sweet tea trying to wash it down. It did not go down and started to come back up through my nose. At that point, I started to worry a little. I was in my wheelchair so I rolled over to a nearby trash can and tried to stick my finger down my throat. Nothing happened and I was starting to get short of breath. By this time, an employee noticed me with my head over the trash can. She asked if I was okay and I pointed to my throat. She immediately called the owner, Jeffrey Hobbs. He came out and checked me out, he patted me on the back trying to get something to come out. He asked if he was gonna hurt me by lifting me from my chair. He grabbed me around the mid-section and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. After two good pulls, the meat popped out and I was cleared. I am so very thankful that he was there to help me. I dont know what I would have done if I had not had someone there to help me. If you have not eaten at Slow Bone, it is one of the best restaurants in Dallas. Mr Hobbs was so nice and helpful to me. He wanted to take his picture with me afterwards. I joked with him that I must have been his first "choking survivor". He joked with me that "I know my food is good, but slow down eating" LOL. I just wanted to share this story. His restaurant has been featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives on the Food Network. There are some great people in this world that are always willing to help. Support local eateries if you can. Slow Bone BBQ is a great one! read more

We stopped by to get our bbq meats, and this spot did not disappoint! It was our first time here so we got a bunch of different meats and sides to explore their menu. First off, the ribs were incredibly juicy and fell right off the bone, living true to the restaurant name. The brisket was also a standout -- super tender and flavorful and basically fell apart when I tried to pick it up. The hickory smoked sausage held its own too and had a wonderful smoky flavor to it. We also experimented with the fried chicken too, but I think it was more of a mixed bag. The piece I had was a little on the drier side, but my friends reported very moist, flavorful bites. The sides were all incredible though. Fried okra is always my go-to, and this place delivered with hot crispy bites loaded with seasoning. Mac and cheese and brisket beans were incredibly solid as well. Overall a great stop on the Dallas bbq scene! read more

I cant believe i haven't come here sooner. The location is open 11a-3 every day of the week which can be a challenge. Its absolutely worth your time to either pick up carry out or stop in.

Slow Bone has earned a spot in Texas Monthly Magazine's 2021 The 50 Best BBQ Joints. And deservedly so. This was our 90th 'cue stop in Texas, and the 389th in a 35 state BBQ odyssey. $44.92 purchased a quarter pound of fatty brisket, a half pound of jalapeno cheddar sausage, 2 pieces of fried chicken (white meat), 2 pieces of cornbread, two hush puppies, a pint of horseradish potato salad, and a serving of Brussels sprouts au gratin. With the exception of the very dry hush puppies, everything else was on point. The brisket is buttery in texture, with good bark, smoke and flavor, but be warned: the fatty end cuts are roughly 50% fat, which we discarded. The sausage is exquisite, the chicken sensational-- a term that could be equally applied to the potato salad and Brussels sprouts. And what can one say about the cornbread? It is one of the best that we have encountered in Texas, a truly sublime bite! We highly recommend this restaurant, which has seating both inside and out, but limited parking. It's best to be there around the opening. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 ---- Checked this place out finally after a few years of driving past it. I would say overall, the barbecue is good (loved the fatty brisket in particular), but I didn't particularly enjoy any of the sides I got. I tried the corn bread, the mac & cheese, and the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were probably my favorite, but the mac & cheese was almost watery, and had some bell peppery after taste, and the corn bread was dry and bland. I liked that they had pickles and pickled onions and sauces open for self service, and the place is pretty cute, and the service was good. All in all, a good place to try, but I'd probably focus on the barbecue only. read more

Gotten better over the last four years since I visited! Mike and his team are over the top good, personable, and caring. As a result, their food is absolutely dialed in. I started off with a Turkey sandwich. Wow! That was the best turkey I've had at a BBQ joint in a long time and the bbq sauce was the perfect complement. Next up I had a couple hush puppies. Just like the best I've had in a North Carolina Calabash restaurant! Finished off with the brisket pinto beans which are the best pinto beans I've ever had. No exaggeration there! Go to this proven spot for some wonderful BBQ and a great time. read more

TIme to check off another Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joint at The Slow Bone in Downtown Dallas. We arrived yesterday, Saturday 4/30/22 arrived at 10:45am (15 min before opening) and there were 6 people in line ahead of us. By the time we were halfway through our meal, the dining room was packed. So out the gate this place very very delicious but before I get to the food I just want to comment on the few things I also loved about this place. The owner was greeting his guests at the door, shaking hands, asking us our names and was being super gracious and welcoming. What I love about this place is I can order exactly what I want and how much I want. I asked for two slices of brisket one lean one fatty, one rib, one jalapeño cheddar sausage, one fried drumstick and a 1/4lb ea of the smoked turkey and pulled pork, and one small portion of the horseradish potato salad (highly recommended by the owner as well) and got exactly that. There were no minimum weights I had to buy (and frankly I can't stand the places that make me do that). Also the prices were amazingly reasonable. My whole platter was like $54 bucks. My lean brisket was extremely moist with a delicious bark that wasn't a salt bomb and had a remarkable smoke ring. My rib had good flavor and good pull off the bone. I would argue that the pulled pork is top 5 I've had in Texas. It had strong smoke flavor and wasn't sopping wet in juices, which I don't really like. Having fried chicken with my bbq was a pleasant surprise and there's was pretty good! Great crunchy batter with moist chicken meat underneath. I would argue that my jalapeño cheddar sausage was middle of the pack. Listen, I've been falling more in love with smoked turkey lately and this is the best I've ever had full stop. Moist! Not overly salted! And had actual brine turkey flavor! Not just bland boring turkey. If you don't order the turkey you missed out. Another perk of this place are the sides! We ate lunch yesterday with ten of our friends who also had never been there before and were enjoying it just as much as we were. They have a massive selection of sides and everyone got something different. My wife's fried okra was out of sight. My friends Brussels sprouts au gratin was nice and rich. Another one of my friends ordered the sweet potato praline and they loved it. One person said the mac and cheese was a bit too creamy for their preference. But none of that mattered because I was in love with my horseradish potato salad. Get your butts to The Slow Bone as soon as you possibly can!!!! read more
