9 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Alvarado

“Stopped here a couple weeks ago with a couple co-workers just passing through. We like looking for the local gems when on the road. Massey's did not disappoint. Brisket and ribs were great, Atmosphere is great, and getting to Chat with Todd while we ate topped off a great meal. Will def stop again.“

“After seeing some instagram reels about this place I decided to check it out. The drive to the place was a bit far but the food was well worth it. The firecracker shrimp and the beef were so good. It was a little bit pricy though with my 2 entrees, sides, water it came out to 24 dollars. I didn’t get a chance to check out the snow cones just because I ate too much but it was super cool to see the options. Beware though there are limited parking spots out front I got lucky with my spot but I saw many people parking on grass and the surrounding areas around so be aware of the parking situation if going at a peak time.“

“First time here and I LOVED IT! The food is so good, so fresh and has amazing flavor! The staff is also really friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place! The island mix plate has a healthy portion of chicken and steak plus rice and macaroni salad. All of it was delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“First time eating here, we’ve driven by this place 5 times a week since we moved out here and decided to finally stop in. Well it’s was great! Friendly staff, clean environment, and the best brisket I’ve ever had! Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!“

“I stopped to take pictures of the old bank down the street and decided to try the BBQ.The brisket sandwich was plentiful! It was pretty good, could have used more bbq sauce and the meat could have been a little juicier, but overall it was pretty good!“

“I absolutely love this place. Have been coming here for years, even when I lived in Weatherford, I would make the drive here. Staff is always friendly, and the food NEVER disappoints. The brisket is AMAZING! I love anything with the brisket, especially their breakfast burritos! Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Also, just favorite place to eat! Highly recommend!“

“Sat outside for a late lunch on the front patio with no wait, food came hot and fast. I had probably the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had and hubby's shrimp tacos were delicious. Service was amazing, we will definitely be back for dinner one night.“

“Popped in to Hard Eight for lunch. The brisket was bang on and the place had a great BBQ vibe. There are so many good bbq places to eat at in Texas it is hard to recommend one, but if you are in the area and are hankering for some good bbq, stop into Hard Eight it is worth the visit!“

“They do catering! We actually decided to have them cater our wedding, and let me tell you it was a hit! So many of our guests complemented on how good the BBQ was and how much they enjoyed it.They provide so much for the catering including sides and drinks, cutlery, plates. It really was helpful to have so many options and know that our guests would have a variety of food and drink options from them alone. In addition they did such a good job on serving the food in a quick manner and while it was hot! So if you have an event and are considering BBQ catered, I would highly recommend trying them out!“
