44 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lake Dallas

“So it has been years since I've had Chasin' Tails BBQ, but it's legit! Excuse the half eaten plates before I took pics ?My better half is a trained French Chef and we are total foodies. We cook at home 90% of the time but we try to eat out once a week. From fine dining to a hole in the wall, good food is good food. We are also service industry vets and appreciate experiences all around.The "new to me" location is clean, friendly and the BBQ is really good! So good, you dont need the yummy Bbq sauce, but definitely try it. Our favs were the pulled pork, ribs and the jalapeño sausage. Brisket was yummy and moist. The sides were delish too! Tea is Texas' beverage of choice and its fresh. Cost for a 3 meat plate w 2 sides, 2 meat plate w 2 sides, extra order of fried okra, TX toast and 2 large drinks - $43 and some change. I'm by-passing Hutchins for this humble gem! 9 out 10, only because I'm leaving room for the off chance I find a gem better than this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Getchu some!Dietary restrictions: Keto/low carb friendly! A definite plus!“

“Yet another Lewisville hidden gem!! If you love barbecue, you must try this place out, everything was so delicious! We got the corn and mac and cheese as our sides and they were top tier, I highly recommend. I also got the pulled pork sandwich, the meat was stacked high and was tender. When we got there, a man was playing live music and it really added to the vibes. Lastly if you come on a friday or saturday they give you a free cinnamon roll with your meal if you dine in. This was a 5/5 experience and we will be back!“

“I am blown away by the customer service. I ordered a 2 lb meal for dinner tonight and when I realized I was missing one of my sides I called just with the hopes that maybe I would get a couple dollars refunded. No they went above and beyond to apologize and bring some dang beans to my house!!!! Now I don't live overly far from there but still that is incredible customer service. I go here almost once a week and every time the customer service is incredible. Not to mention the food. Businesses like these let you know there is still quality out there and incredible people! I will continue to come back because they continue to always make things right, and then some. Thank you for making my night.“

“I'm a little ways away from Marty B's but it was worth the drive to try it out. The parking is on gravel but there's a large area for it. I went for lunch so there wasn't any live music but the outdoor area had plenty of seating. I liked that there was both indoors and outdoors. The food was good. I can appreciate that they give you an option on lean of a little fatties slice of brisket as well. The jalapeño goes great on top of the meats. The sides were a little cold but nothing to complain about or leave a bad review. The sides are def not from KFC. The ambiance is nice. I'd drive the extra time to eat here.“

“We come here quite frequently and have turned a lot of people on to Aris. We had a table of eight tonight and even though we had a couple of people who ware having their first experience with Aris, most of the people helping us ware really sweet and tried to help the best they could. We had a few people helping out our table, but the two I need to shout out are Adam and another lovely waitress who was smiling from ear to ear everytime she helped us (I unfortunately did not get her name). I believe she's newer as I have not seen her before and as I said, we frequent this place! Their service was amazing and the food was great! However, I will say that I am disappointed with the LA Galbi as it is nothing but fat and bones now and barely any meat. Also, the pork shoulder portions were a little smaller than usual and not as seasond. For the prices, I do wish the meat portion and quality were more consistent. Overall, everyone was satisfied and because of the beautiful smiling lady and the seriously hilarious Adam, we had an amazing night and we will definitely be back soon!Dietary restrictions: We have someone who is allergic to citrus and they did not have a flare up so that's a win! We also have someone who is Gluten Sensitive and they never have to worry about anything here.“

“I ordered the beef noodles. SOO good, I ordered it to go and it came piping hot with a side of kimchi. The noodles are creamy and silky texture! Love that! The broth is good quality but those noodles steal the show. Their kimchi is also really good. One of the best restaurant kimchi’s.“

“The customer service at this place is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The brisket is delicious. The portions for the brisket sandwich are a bit scant. It could be because I had sliced brisket instead of chopped, but there could've been at least 2 more pieces. Same goes with the "PPO", just a touch more pickles/peppers/onions to fix the sandwich ratio. The mac & cheese itself is okay, it's saving grace is the brisket mixed in which elevates the dish's overall flavor. All in all, I'd definitely come back to try a few other things on the menu.“

“I love this place. I have lived in Denton for 2 months and have been there 8 times . Food is always great and the servers are always friendly and do a great job . The place makes you feel right at home.Parking: There is a lot of parking but at lunchtime and at dinner time you may find it hard to park because a lot of people find this place amazing“

“Found this place by chance but what a wonderful find! From the decor to the wait staff we felt very welcome and comfortable. The waiter was attentive yet not overbearing.. the food was pleasantly Delicious and worth every cent. Definitely recommend.“

“We decided to try a new (to us) place for dinner. Chubz Spudz popped up and we went for it. The wait was really long, but ABSOLUTELY worth it! Holy smokes this stuff is yummy! We got the baked potato and 2 ribs combo. My goodness I haven't had ribs that tender in forEVER!!! And the potato???? Are you kidding me???? SOOOOOO GOOD! And the amount of food....HUGE!!! Amazing food, give them a try! We have enough leftover for lunch for the entire weekend!!!“

“This was our first time eating here. We stopped in around lunch and were greeted with a relaxed atmosphere and big smiles from the staff. I had the Beck's Mac Bowl and my son had the Andrew. We took home the bourbon smoked cheesecake to share. Everything was delicious!! Definitely going to eat here again.“

“I work in Denton, TX and a close friend of mine lives in Corinth, TX. This is his goto BBQ near him. I have been three times and each time I have something different. And, each time it gets better. I have had the ribs. Delicious. I have had the baked potato with smoked turkey. Wow! So good. And this most recent time last week, I had the sliced brisket sandwich. Really tender. They make sides to make you smile. Mac and cheese, coleslaw and these stuffed Jalapeños that will make you crazy. In a good way. On the north side of Lewisville, TX right off 35E. Look them up, Fat Cow BBQ ain't messin' around. Don't drive past the strip center it's on the left next to the gas station.“

“This is the best korean BBQ I've ever had in Dallas! They're a bit more pricey and it's not all you can eat buffet. But believe me when I say, you get what you pay for!!! All of the meats were premium cuts and the service was delightful. They cook your food for you. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff even brought out plates and spoons for the cake we brought and sang happy birthday to my family member. We'll definitely be returning“

“Amazing food and service. Our server Yang was very friendly and attentive to our family. Very nice buffet area included with the all you can eat Korean bbq. Lots of choices. Great place. Definitely recommend! Will try the shabu next time. Looked amazing too.“

“Very good food high quality staff is very nice, the music was just a bit too loud. Also a lot of reviews complaining about getting a waiter attention. There is a call button and the waiter came almost immediately. It is not like a regular restaurant most asian restaurants are like that. If you looked at the table you would see it… Service was amazing so idk why people are complaining.“

“Tasty meat, but small portions for the price. They had options where you can order meat groups depending on the size of your party. Each dish was a split of 2 to 3 pieces between our party of 3. It didn't really fill us up, so we had to order more.We thought we were going to be able to cook, but the server did it all for us. Which I mean, it could be a good thing or bad. We just felt a little rushed.Atmosphere is not bad, medium size restaurant. Quite enough, where you can hear the person next to you talk. Parking was okay, not plenty, but easy to find one.The food itself was good. Nice quality pork and beef meats. Although the kimchi soup did come out bubbling and hot. I didn't like the kimchi as it was a bit too sour for my taste. I would come back here if I was eating alone, but with a group, the portions sizes are not worth it.“

“Staff moves quickly but they don’t check up on you very much. I love the food. Skewers are fantastic, and they make veggies taste heavenly. My favorites are the lamb skewers and the hibachi cauliflower and hibachi broccoli.They have a house specialty spice mix that taste really good. They use a lot of cumin; normally dislike cumin and find it overpowering, but at Fat Ni there is something about the other spices that they mix it with that tastes amazing. Especially if you squeeze a bit of lemon on top of your foodKid-friendliness: The vibe is very casual and kid friendly. But the food might not be; it depends on how much your kids tolerate spice. Most of the food is not spicy, it just has a lot of different spices in it.“

“I always say this is the best inexpensive steakhouse in Texas. The steaks are always decent and cooked at the right temp. The food is solid and they pride themselves on service. This isn’t 5 star dining, but it is a great staple. Glad they are doing it the way they are!“

“Everything was delicious that I tried! We upgraded to the premium menu and I enjoyed that the most. I wish there were more veggie options like greens. While I'm generally familiar with the concept, this was my first visit to Gen and the server didn't provide any context and/or instructions. He rushed us and we almost missed the sauces and sides. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere but not so loud that you can't enjoy your meal. I'd return when in the area.“

“I recently visited Gopchang Story in Carrollton and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. I'm a huge fan of Korean BBQ and I tend to choose a restaurant based on the quality of meat, service, and ambiance. Before visiting this location, I've dined in their LA, NYC, Seoul, and Daegu branches.Our server, Hailey, was super friendly and welcoming. She gave us great recommendations and made us feel right at home. We tried the Prime Seasoned Short Rib, Duroc Marinated Pork Rib, and Duroc Pork Belly and it was all so delicious!Now, let's talk about the large intestine, or dehchang, which I'm not usually a fan of. But, this restaurant does it right! It was cooked perfectly and had a soft grill with some veggies on the side. Hailey even soaked up the fat using bread, which I thought was a brilliant idea.Lastly, we had the Chef's special dessert, which was a refreshing fruit dish with microgreens on top. It was so pretty and tasted amazing. Honestly, I would come back to this restaurant just for Hailey's amazing service. If you're a fan of Korean BBQ, you've got to check out Gopchang Story!“

“Went there for dinner today. And they had a Soju special for $6.99 if you order food! It includes all soju too! The honey garlic and cheeseling were our favorite. The servers were attentive and took care or us very well. Will be back next week!“

“Big Jacks is the most underrated BBQ in DFW. Moist chicken and brisket, wonderful sides; and the service is always great too. Just a small bbq in the middle of Lewisville. But after living in DFW for eight years now, I can say with 100% certainly Big Jacks is one of the best.“

“We love this place!!! Clean, staffs nice and efficient!!! Lots of choice to pick from and there’s plenty of Soju!!! The price is fair and the option is a lot. Lamb, beef, pork, not to mention even fish!!! Everyone should give it a try!!!“

“I was getting my guitar re-strung at Sky Guitars and it was going to be a bit as they were backlogged. The two guys working suggested two spots to grab a bite and here's where I came. I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich and I have to say, it was pretty much one of the best I've had. Highly recommend!“

“We visited on a Sunday afternoon just before 5. The dining area was charming but empty, probably due to the time of day. We ordered dinner plates of brisket and sausage with various sides; fried okra, butter beans, baked beans, pinto beans, Cole slaw, and Mac ‘n Cheese. The brisket was exceptionally moist and flavorful. The restaurant staff were a delight. We commented on the fried pies near the register and were told the pies were free that day. So we took three! Great old-fashioned Texas BBQ restaurant where the portions are HUGE!“

“From the moment we walked, we were greeted by staff. The gentleman who served our food was very nice, after that we were greeted by the cashier guy and he as well was very nice. After eating for a while. A women came to greet us and asked if we needed anything else and that was so nice of her ! Later on a staff member offered use fresh bread. Definitely will be coming back! Love this location!!“

“This is definitely a really cool place. And I was told they often have a guy there rolling cigars. I was there for a private party so I didn't get that experience. But the atmosphere is awesome, it's located right off this man-made River they have going through the complex. It has five or six different waterfalls along the stretch, really neat.. I don't live near Flower Mound but I would definitely make the drive to go back. Bartenders, waiters, and waitresses were all really cool.“

“When my garage door cable snapped, I contacted this company, and they provided a cost-effective repair. Their technician replaced the cable promptly, ensuring proper operation at an affordable price. I commend their skillful workmanship and reasonable pricing.“

“The definition of a great college restaurant. Open late with a welcoming and fun atmosphere, not to mention how amazing the food is. They give back to the community a tremendous amount with fundraisers and I highly recommend them to anyone in the Denton area.“

“I love this place! This is definitely the best korean bbq spot in Carrollton. The portions are huge and marinated to perfection. The meat is still juicy when it comes off the grill and the tea they give at the end is a perfect finish. We love coming here and chatting surg the staff as we enjoy our meal. They're so friendly and really go above and beyond.“

“We came to celebrate my son's 8th birthday. Ian was very nice and will be returning. Thank you for good food and excellent service Ian, my son Ian will never forget this experience.Vegetarian options: My partner was able to eat the salmon. The pick three sides are a good addition to the menu.Kid-friendliness: My son and his friend colored with crayons and played games on the card terminal.“

“Every time I visit Dallas, I have to eat here. I'm so surprised that the rating isn't higher. They offer AYCE and a la carte. Get the a la carte! The cuts of meat are fantastic and the best part is after all your meat is grilled, they make kimchi fried rice! Service is so fast and efficient. They are good about refilling the banchan. When you order the meat a la carte, you also get the soybean (dang jang jigae) soup, and steamed egg. I'm not sure if you get all the bonus stuff with AYCE.“

“This was such an amazing spot for Pakistani/Indian food. It’s specifically Punjabi cuisine, which is from the Punjab region (northwestern India and eastern Pakistan).The meats are flavorful here. They make bread insanely well, too. I’ve only been once but I’ll definitely come back again to try other dishes.Even though I only had a few items, this strikes me as the place where anything you order will be really good.Found this spot on D Magazine’s 2023 List of Best 50 Restaurants in Dallas!I had chicken gola kebab and an aloo paratha. The aloo paratha is a flatbread stuffed with potato!“

“WELL DONE!! This was our first time eating at a Dickies as we have just moved to Tx from out state a few months ago. We enjoyed it so much. The food was great, but the hospitality was fantastic. I wish we had gotten the two ladies names. They were both so nice. So whomever was working on April 6th around lunch time I want to thank you both for being so genuinely nice. We will most definitely be back.“

“This place used to be acceptable, but lacked A lot to be desired in the service department. It's been A long while since I've eaten here. The food has always been great, but the staff was not good in the communication area. You can sense A whole new attitude. They removed the trash cans and they actually remove your trash themselves. On top of that, they clean the table as well.I don't remember seeing them wash tables before. The staff now are very attentive, asking you if they can help with any questions, the old staff barely spoke. In addition the night manager checked on each table to see if the customer needed anything. MUCH IMPROVED! I know it's basically fast food BBQ, but they take good care of their customers. Happy, I went back and will continue too.“

“We stopped by at late night to try their KBBQ.We ordered Pork Belly and Marinated Pork Short Rib. Both were so delicious. The quality pf the meat was great.BUT, their sauce which is samjang was a highlight of the show!! For me, good samjang is important when it comes to KBBQ. Their samjang is just on another level. I kept asking for refilling the sauce.The service was amazing as well. The server was so attentive and friendly.Whenever I crave some KBBQ, I definitely gonna go to Crazy BBQ!“

“My steak was perfect, which seems to be hard for people to do, but the wait for someone to take a drink order was ridiculous. We went on a Thursday night around 8 and waited over 15 minutes for water. But the sweet rolls are yummy and my blue steak was pure perfection. It was so loud our server had to keep asking us to repeat ourselves which was annoying, and we couldn't have a conversation (wish I had brought some earplugs, ears still ringing a week later). Overall great place but be ready to wait and bring earplugs.Parking: No issues with parking“

“If your into a different Korean BBQ experience, this is your place. Tried the Dallas platter which gives you a sampling of what they gave to offer so you can add individual meat options. Love the sides that come especially the sweet corn and cheese. Great service.“

“FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz••••? WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: all you can eat hot pot and Korean bbq! I believe it’s a Californian franchise brought to Texas.? THE VIBE: spacious and comfortable. Definitely go on a weekday because reviews said at night the wait is way too long.? PRICE: $32 AYCE per person!? WOULD I COME BACK? Yes!••••Overall Rating: 10/10- I will say the other ratings on Google and Yelp scared me but it seems like the unhappy customers came on a busy weekend day. However, our experience was amazing! Great service, the girl and boy served there were super attentive and sweet! We felt very welcomed.- The broth was amazing actually! @fatimaramos___ got the spicy broth which had that authentic Sichuan peppercorn taste (which I personally don’t like but I know people love) and she loved it! I got the Tom yum broth and it was so delicious as well!!! I loved my broth a lot.- I’ve been to Manna hot pot across the street twice and was not a fan those two times. I’ve been to Hadilao hot pot which I’m sure is way better quality (literally $120 for two people if you go) but VOLCANO HOT POT IS THE BEST IVE HAD SO FAR! It’s not the best quality, but it’s definitely the most delicious.“

“Been here a few times now. Great service, great selection of meat, solid price for AYCE, good selection of banchan (that varies from visit to visit), cool robot delivery agent. Pleasant atmosphere. You have to choose between BBQ or Hot Pot, unlike their Lewisville location, but that's not an issue for us. The optional sides (soft tofu stew, steamed egg, rice, ramyeon, etc.) are all very tasty as well. We will keep coming back!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The bbq is solid, especially for the price which is easily the most affordable in town. The German sandwiches I've tried have all been large and tasty! Bonus points for the daily specials that make this already great food even cheaper than most fast food spots. Also don't sleep on the Fischer's products and the insanely big craft soda, craft beer, and wine selection!“

“Had the Friday special, pulled pork sandwich, one side, a big yellow cup. There was a lot of pork and it tasted amazing and the buns were toasted perfectly. I chose fried okra for my side and it was awesome. I used the spicy bbq sauce which was kept warm in a container with a lid over it. I dined in. The ladies working were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Glad I ate lunch here. Yumm-meeee!!!“

“I have gone to 3 different Rudy's. They are very consistent from the food to the service. I absolutely recommend it. They give you a nice size portion. The brisket is juicy, flavorful, and lean upon request. It doesn't require sauce either. It's the best I've had. Their ribs are delicious, both pork and beef. The customer service definitely rivals CFA's customer service.“

“I love the BBQ here! If you drive past you can smell the smoker and then your car magically turns around and pulls in. I personally love the turkey and chicken smoked to perfection and the sides are so good! They make the usual meat plates and sandwiches but they also make quesadillas using the meat of your choice and they are HUGE. I have tried most of the menu and it's all good.“
