    It was my first time trying this spot, the food was great, service was prompt and the ambiance was welcoming.

    Pork burnt ends, brisket, street corn, potato salad along with a Texas Twinkie

    Ooooooooommmmmmmmmggggggg!! So worth the drive!! The restaurant was very homey and laid back. We were greeted by a very sweet lady at the register. The food I will definitely rate high up there with Dayne's!! We ordered the brisket ( couldn't even pick it up because it was soooo tender that it crumbled in my hands) also ordered the pork burnt ends( very tasty) with the sides of the street corn and the potato salad and who could resist a Texas Twinkie?!?! The best sides I have had thus far!! One of the best BBQ places yet!!

    Awesome little dive bar in Texas with the best BBQ and friendly staff! Food was quick and the beers were delicious

    When the food is this fresh and delicious, I have to put it on the map. This spot serves up barbecue that's truly Yelp-worthy -- I'm giving it a solid 10/10! I ordered the two-meat plate with brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage, plus mac & cheese and loaded potato salad on the side. Every bite was packed with flavor, and honestly, the meat was so good it didn't even need barbecue sauce (though they do have it if you want it). The vibe inside leans more towards a bar atmosphere, but they also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. If you're craving barbecue, make sure this place is on your list -- it's worth the detour!

    This was my first time visiting the store front, and it was so cool finally being able to see it! They worked so hard to get to where they are now we will always support!! The food was great like always, they posted they had a special that day and it looked so good we had to get it!! The only thing I wish the potato came with was bbq sauce and sour cream, but that's just me. It was still super flavorful either way! The service was great, the person working the register was so nice, she even remembered my name when I was walking out the door! This is definitely still one of my favorite bbq places in Arlington! Thank you guys for everything y'all do

    Chipotle nachos

    Eaten at 225 several times over the years. Think every visit was when they were parked at Division brewing. Always liked the bbq, but it got to where my visits were mostly to try something new they were touting on Facebook or whatever. Best thing I like about 225 is the non bbq, bbq stuff they make. They just opened in their building, I was out running errands and decided to go check them out. Early afternoon on a weekend. Not super busy, good for me, I looked at the menu above the register. I really was just going to grab a sandwich, but honestly didn't see any sandwiches offered on the menu. Maybe I just missed it, but before I could ask, I was intrigued by the Chipotle nachos. Cashier wasn't sure what was on them, which was a little amusing, but I stopped her and just asked "there is some kind of meat on them, right?" when she nodded and said yes, I told her that was good enough for me. I got a soda from the fountain (No Coke, Pepsi!...but I drink DP anyway) and grabbed a seat at the bar. They saw my number and dropped off my nachos soon after. It was a pretty big pile, plenty for two. I saw the meat was pulled pork, with lots of cheese, and a few other veggie type things, with a sauce (chipotle probably) drizzled on top of everything. They were really good, and not skimpy on the meat. I finished off a pretty good amount of them. My only issue is the chips they use are thick, which is probably good to put off the chips getting soggy quickly, but I still prefer thinner chips. Not a deal breaker, I would get the nachos again. Inside is pretty barren. I think the two pool tables must be leftover from when it was Mavericks sports bar. Doesn't look like they changed much. But I come for the food, not the ambiance. They have birria tacos, think I saw birria ramen, several other regular, non bbq menu items. I remember when they did the pork belly sandwiches, those things were great. No booze, but BYOB. Anyway, glad to see them in a nice, air conditioned space. Over the years I would pass by during summer months because it was just to hot to sit outside.

    Was scrolling social media and saw a post about the day's special of a Burger, side and 2 birria tacos for $20. We have been meaning to go here so many times and decided today was the day. My husband got the special and I got 1/2lb brisket, cherry bomb and a Texas Twinkie. Our food was absolutely outstanding. There was not one single thing I tried that wasn't delicious. They have recently moved from a food truck to a brick and mortar so the inside is still a work in progress but they have lots of seating, tvs and it's clean. My food came out pretty quick and service was friendly. I am kicking myself for not trying them out all the other times I thought about it. If this is you......GO NOW

    Burnt Ends Mmmm!
    Vernetta W.

    I love supporting good food trucks, and this one takes BBQ to another level. This unassuming food truck's BBQ flavors are outstanding. I got the burnt ends, and all I can say is Wow! They were cooked to perfection..and the seasoning is the perfect marriage of savory with just a hint of sweet. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalepeno has just the right amount of heat. Even those who are afraid of jalapeños can do this one. The service was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. I love the turf grass and the clean benches. If you like eating outdoors, they have a very clean area to eat.

    Two tacos, two meat, two sides, two drinks $32... absolutely fantastic, authentic Mexican and Texas BBQ collaboration

    I've been hearing about Hurtado on 105.3 The Fan for a while, and although radio ads don't usually…read moreinfluence me, they made this barbecue sound so good that I wanted to try it. Then I accidentally parked in the wrong spot while going to get my nails done, looked up, and saw Hurtado. Clearly, lunch was meant to happen! I ordered the three-meat plate with brisket, ribs, and poblano sausage, plus bacon ranch potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and tater tot casserole. I'll admit, I wondered whether all the extras in the sides might be doing too much. Well, after bringing everything home and digging in, I can say it absolutely worked. The ribs were tender and delicious, with great barbecue flavor. The poblano sausage was amazing! I've had jalapeño cheddar sausage before, but this was something different and so good. The brisket had a wonderful smoky flavor, although it wasn't quite as tender as I expected on my first serving. It had cooled down some by the time I got home, and when I reheated it for round two, it was much more tender. Next time, I'll ask whether I can get a leaner cut, just as a personal preference. Now, the sides deserve their own moment. The bacon ranch potato salad had a finely mashed texture, with delicious bacon and green onions on top. Chef's kiss! The macaroni and cheese had spiral pasta, a little jalapeño heat, and such a creamy, delicious sauce. I've never had any quite like it. The tater tot casserole was another winner. It reminded me a little of Cracker Barrel's hash brown casserole, but with a smoky, bacon-like flavor and a much finer potato texture. My first thought was, "Is this cauliflower?" It wasn't--it was just a different texture than I expected, and oh my goodness, it was good. Even the bread had that sweet, Hawaiian-style taste that I love. I'm picky about barbecue sauce, so I wasn't sure what to expect there either. This one was sweet with a hint of Tex mex flavor and a little something different in the seasoning that worked so well with the barbecue. I loved it. The portions were generous, especially the sides, and my takeout container was full of meat and two slices of bread. Service was quick, too. My food came out about five minutes after I sat down, and they offered me water while I waited. I went in hoping the food would live up to everything I'd heard, and it was even better than I imagined. Everything had its own flavor, and it all came together so well. Now I'm thinking about that meal and already looking forward to going back!

    Go. Show up early. Wait. Order lots of food. Don't forget dessert. It's all worth it…read more... Hands down, the best barbecue experience I've ever had. I was born and raised in Texas, so I've had my fair share of barbecue, but Goldee's takes it to another level. I recently moved away from Texas, and for my last weekend in town, all I wanted was one more great Texas barbecue experience. A few friends and I decided on Goldie's on a Saturday, and knowing it can get busy, we committed to the full experience. We showed up around 8:30 a.m. with lawn chairs, a cooler of drinks, and some games, and turned the wait into a tailgate. Right before they opened, a staff member came outside and walked everyone through the menu and ordering process. She explained the regular menu items and the specials they were featuring that day, which was helpful when it came time to decide what to order. And as a group of six, we ordered a lot. Honestly, that's the way to do barbecue: get a little bit of everything or, in our case, a lot of everything. The sliced brisket was fantastic, the pork spare ribs were excellent, and the pork belly was incredible. The pork belly was probably the biggest surprise for me because I've never considered myself a huge pork belly fan, but Goldee's may have completely changed my mind. The jalapeño sausage was also delicious. They were featuring Brahman that day, which was similar to brisket, and that was another standout. We also got a beef rib, which was, of course, fantastic. For sides, we had the mac and cheese and pork hash, and both were excellent. And then there's the banana pudding. I love banana pudding, and I genuinely don't think you can leave Goldee's without ordering it. Even a couple of the guys with us who aren't big dessert or sweets people were raving about it. From the food to the staff to the entire experience of hanging out with friends and tailgating before opening, Goldee's was everything I wanted for my last Texas barbecue stop. If you're serious about barbecue, Goldee's needs to be on your list.

    I'm sorry but I would not recommend this barbecue joint. Sorry guys, I love your story and think…read moreit's cool. I'm assuming you guys live not having to work a full week and make enough money in a couple of days to live happily. But I'm just gonna tell you the truth from a customer's perspective. Let me first tell you that I have been a barbecue fanatic for approximately 7 years. It started the first time I went to a REAL barbecue joint in Lockhart. I had no idea barbecue could be this good. Then when I saw my first Texas Monthly Top 50 Passport at Hutchins in McKinney, I was on a mission. That award period I visited 38 of the top 50. Since then I've probably been to 60+ locations that have at one time or another landed on the Top 50 list. I've only been to Goldee's once but here are my take away: - I arrived at 11:00am on a Friday. The line wasn't terrible and I made it to the counter at 12:30pm. In just that short period of time they ran out of all their specialty offerings for the day except lamb sausage, which can be common. But they also ran out of their everyday pork ribs. Now COME ON! This place was #1 last ranking and #3 this time. You can't cook enough ribs to take care of customers that line up when you open? - The lamb sausage was very good. It definitely stood out as something unique, memorable and noteworthy. - Brisket was good but nothing that made me think it was better than most and definitely not worth coming back and standing in line for. - Side items: all they had that was appealing to me was Mac and cheese and pinto beans and neither of those were notable. - I ordered a beef rib because they were out of everything else. No turkey, pork, chicken. It was like any other beef rib. Good but way too rich and greasy. I can never eat much of that. And I like VERY moist (fatty) brisket. - That brings me to my next point. This is the ONLY place I have ever heard of that does not let you pick the style of brisket you like. They force you to take half moist and half lean. The reason I never cared for barbecue (particularly brisket) before I went to Lockhart was because it was too dry. Even with proper Texas BBQ, I NEVER eat lean brisket. There just isn't enough flavor and juice for my liking. On the other hand, I know several people that hate all the fat. And they are forcing those people to take what they do not like in order to get what they want. It is an insane way to serve Texas BBQ. - Drinks? They have a standup cooler with some sodas and bottled tea. It's hard to find a BBQ joint in Texas that does serve fresh brewed tea. They don't. - Location and seating: it's basically like a single-wide mobile home. Very small entry/order area and very few seats. If you don't get there 2 hours before they open, you will be standing outside for 1.5+ hours, maybe spend 15 mins inside, and have to take your food to go. - Hours?! I'm sorry, I understand you can do what you want, work when you want, have whatever quality of life you want. But if you're gonna be sought out as the best of the best in Texas, think about your customers. Limiting yourself to only being open a couple of days per week makes it very difficult and uncomfortable for your customers to visit you. I can see you getting a handful of regulars and all those people like me that HAVE TO try you, but it definitely is not geared towards taking care of us and wanting us to come back. Bottom line, if you HAVE TO try them, I suggest getting there 1.5-2 hours before they open on a Friday. If you get there at 11, there's a good chance you will have wasted time in line for mediocre barbecue with very limited options. But these are the reasons why I would never recommend you and never think about coming back.
