I have eaten here at least 4 times . The brisket is way too fatty as many pointed out . The fat is not rendered into the meat . Over all mediocre. Today the service was so bad , I will never come back. I ordered a Ruben sandwich, banana pudding (which was horrible , as it's days old ,the cookie on top was soggy)and soda, to stay and left a tip for a tray place were you bus your own tables . They gave me my buzzer and I wait for my food at the table. When the buzzer went off , I goto pick up my food , the person hands me my pudding , no tray no soda no sandwich. Just hands me a plastic container with my food. Then takes my buzzer and was about to walk away. I asked her where my sandwich was . She didn't even ask what I ordered, says she would get it , never did. I waited 30 minutes for it , talked to both register people, both said they would get me my sandwich . The manager was right there the entire time , he never asked what I needed help with or track down my sandwich, owner was there as well and said nothing . When they finally found my sandwich 30 minutes later , it was cold . I will forget this place , you don't want my business I take it elsewhere. 45 minutes to get a sandwich made, is ridiculous. read more

Food and services were great! Will definitely go back. They put some new twists on old favorites.

I went Saturday afternoon with a group of 6. Upon entering, it's kinda confusing what to do. Enter a 2nd door to get in the food line. Bar is separate from the food, so you pay at the bar. We got the Frozen Paloma's which were great. We continued into the food line. I ordered the 'Tour of Texas' platter: brisket, ribs, and Sausage and 2 sides. We got the pinto beans( very good) and Potato salad ( very good). The brisket was Ok, but lukewarm and a bit dry. The cut of brisket had some fat( moist) and it was ok. Not anywhere close to Hutchins, but it was good. Pork ribs were good too. They didn't have any sausage ready so I was told they'd have it ready in 10 minutes. I return 3 times with 20-30 minutes to get what I paid for and finally after waiting about 30 minutes and speaking to a manager they brought it out. Sausage was good when we finally got to eat it. Also got a Barria Taco which was great. All in all, the experience and food was just Ok. The line is very inefficient and they really need to figure out how to move it along especially if they were to get really busy. The place is fairly big and they have several large tables to handle larger groups. I wanted to really like Vaqueros... but if you're after top notch BBQ, Hutchins, Cattleack, 407, Terry Blacks, Pecan Lodge are all a notch above for Dallas BBQ joints. read more

This place was so good. I've been here a few months and enjoy exploring hot food spots. My niece and her hubby brought me here, and this by far is the best BBQ ribs I've tasted since I've moved here. The sides were delicious, potato salad and the beans, the service excellent, and the price I paid for a complete meal was very reasonable. read more

Amazing!! Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Do your self a favor and get the spicy cucumbers as one of your sides, I could eat of pound for it lol. I will be a regular going forward. read more

The food was absolutely on point, and the service was fast and friendly. Only downside side is it's a little on the expensive side, but IMHO worth it. read more

Atmosphere is good. No issues with service. Brisket was over seasoned. Did the special pit master sandwich which was just ok. 3 of us all rated the same. Wont return. read more

This was a phenomenal food experience! I've been there 5 times now and I've gotten something different every time...and it's always outstanding. The service was friendly and welcoming...the owner Trey even took time to show us the pit room! The amount of detail put in each of the dishes (especially the tacos) and the restaurant itself is impressive. Already looking forward to the next visit. read more

We asked for "moist" (fatty) BBQ but he gave us whatever was on the cutting board. The flavor was good, but it was not moist. We didn't try the sides. We were there for the brisket. Overall, we were not impressed. read more

The ribs were very good, the brisket was nice and juicy. The potato salad was great. Now, the beans in my book were not good at all. Just blah, the Mac n cheese the same way, just blah. Now the sausage was great! The meat is very good but the sides fall way short! short. I just got back from a trip to Austin and I have Terry Black's bar-b-que in Waco which is one of the best in Texas so trying to compare is impossible. This place has potential!! read more

We loved this restaurant. Ordering was a little confusing but the staff was helpful. Tacos were delish and Mac and cheese bowl was delicious. read more

Y'all.... Go to Vaqueros Texas BBQ in Watters Creek... it is amazing! brisket and sausage were delicious. Will definitely go back for the tacos.... We had the potato salad, cucumber salad and mac and cheese were good too! Paul took us into the smoke room and it's impressive.... The pit smokers were very interesting... climate controlled room.... Perfection! Nothing like we had ever seen before! Go support them! You won't be disappointed! read more

Burnt ends and potato salad was great! Will come back for the brisket soon! Friendly and nice staff.

Top notch BBQ. I'd put their brisket up against any other BBQ joint in Texas, it is that good. And the smoked Pastrami. The best I have ever had! All this place needs is a little apple pie and they'd be over the moon! read more

The service line is very odd. It makes no sense. There appears to be some communication issues with the line staff on where to order what. Beyond this the birria taco was maybe 2/10. The corn taco shell was chewy. The brisket inside was pretty good. The consume was alright. The burnt pork belly ends were oddly crunchy and chewy. The coslaw is so strange, they prep it in front of you with all dry ingredients and it's just not good. I'll probably come back in 7/8 months to see if anything changes and to try the bbq. read more

Came here for a weekday lunch. We really enjoyed the brisket and conchinita pibil taco. The smoked elote was a highlight and so delicious. Things we wouldn't order again would be the birria tacos (hard and chewy like another review described) and the Mac and cheese side (lumpy and lacking seasoning). It's very spacious inside and in a fun area. read more

This is now our go to BBQ place. The food and service were beyond our expectations. The smoke flavor was incredible, and the BBQ sauce was the best I've ever had. read more

Food was mediocre at best. The pork belly bites were terrible. Definitely not a fan for the price.

This is my new favorite BBQ place. Brisket and ribs are top notch. Sides all have a unique twist - not the typical run-of-the-mill sides found at most BBQ places. Best BBQ sauce - but I often don't even use it as meat is already so tasty. Great setting in the Allen Waters Creek center with a large open dinning area that opens in the back. read more

Absolutely a fantastic bbq spot! The brisket was amazing and the brisket tacos with the consume were to die for! The service was fantastic with such a friendly experience and atmosphere. Definitely will be returning soon. read more

We went to day for the 1st time and it was outstanding! We will be returning soon. Trey, owner/pitmaster was gracious enough to show us around the pit. read more

Food is great and service is terrific! Only issue is the time it can take to get thru the line. People take a while to order, but it's no surorise with so much great BBQ. read more

Absolutely wonderful in every way! Food was spectacular ! We had brisket which was as good as mine....... Actually better.. Ribs, sausage as well as the pastrami !!!! Sides were delicious as well! Highly recommend if you like BBQ! I will definitely go back for more! read more

Great food 10/10. Service was a bit confusing. Didn't know where to enter from and ordering off the menu was difficult to convey to staff.

Everything here today was fantastic ! The building itself was perfect , big open space, interesting mural in the great room . Great brisket, really nice spicy /sweet sauce . The staff were so nice . Can't wait to come back and try the tacos ! read more

Amazing BBQ and sides. Resturant is beautiful and spacious. The staff is friendly and very courteous. It has now become my favorite place for BBQ. The Tour of Texas plate and a side of their incredible flavorful pinto beans is a wonderful sampler of what makes this BBQ a cut above all others. read more

Food is great! Atmosphere, awesome! Can't wait to come back with the family! Ask for a pit tour, these smokers are insane!

Excellent bbq. Sides are good and the brisket and ribs were excellent. Don't expect it to be cheap but well worth it. Highly recommend.

So happy to have this place closer. Went to Grapevine location a couple years back and loved the different flavor profiles to regular Texas bbq. Great food, service and atmosphere. Plenty of parking and tons of seating. Highly recommend going. You won't be sorry. read more

Y'all...I swear on all that is holy this may have been the best meal I've had in over a decade. We got there about 2:00 on a Saturday and yes there was a little line, but they were efficient in preparing the meal, so it didn't take long at all to move through the line. The serving area where they prepped the meal for us was pristine and well organized. It was our first time there and everything looked so good I wanted to try everything and I don't even care for BBQ in general - but OMG when I tasted my brisket nachos it was like a little bit of Heaven in the mouth. My husband got the brisket sandwich and loved it. The fries were delish. We also tried a cucumber salad mixture that was phenomenal! All the flavors in all the food were rich and delightful and it was all so fresh! Sorry to go on and on, but I am just so impressed! I am happy to have found something that actually had a unique and delicious taste. Again, SUPER impressed! The staff was friendly and helpful, too! I highly recommend. I can't wait to go back! Oh, and they served such big portions that we both took leftovers home, so I get to enjoy it again for dinner! Yay me! read more

Some of the best BBQ we have had in a long, long while. The sausage is the best ever and the brisket and turkey are almost in the same category. The smoked elote is equally amazing but would be much better if served a little more warm. A little constructive suggestions: 1. We were enjoying the meal but were annoyed that the large container at the counter for BBQ sauce was empty and it took 10+ minutes to replenish it after I requested more; as did another couple customers. Had to finish my meal without it/. Not a good sign and the attendants were there many times--finally a manager-type man replenished it. 2. The drink counter is positioned poorly as people kept having to compensate their movements after ordering and were disrupted also with attendants seeming to be in the way often trying to appear busy; but not enough to replenish the BBQ sauce (?). 3. The entry is confusing due to an exit sign for the patio traffic being positioned at the entry door. 4. And the music being piped throughout the establishment is awful, IMHO--more like poorly done country grunge. More authentic southwestern or Mexican music would seemingly fit the venue more appropriately. However, the food is mostly Great!! read more

Pretty disappointed after corralling a few friends here based on other reviews. Might be growing pains, but the main complaint every single one in my group had was that ALL of the food we ordered was almost cold. Between the four of us, we ordered the pork belly burnt ends, 3 brisket sandwiches, brisket nachos, and some birria tacos. The birria taco was what I was looking most forward to, but when it arrived, it was basically room temperature and congealed. Nothing like others I've had elsewhere. The brisket sandwiches looked good and tasted fine, but were all also room temp. Pork belly burnt ends were a misnomer as they're not really "burnt ends" and just seem to be roast pork belly without all that much smoke or flavor on their own. Prices are as high as Hutchins, Terry Black's, or Pecan Lodge, which would be fine if the experience and quality matched, but they are definitely not there yet. Will give them another go in a month or two and see if they've adjusted. read more
