Absolutely the best bbq in Forney. I miss this place and wish we had more options in restaurants.

A real "good 'ol boy" Texas hole in the wall BBQ place. We were pre-scouting locations to see the 2024 Eclipse and found this place well rated. I am not sure if they take cash b/c the ordering systems (surprisingly) was via kiosk. (looked like the couple in back was doing food and made this choice to save on a cashier- not sure if they even would take cash - but it sure seems like the type of place that would) It was a Thursday around 11:10 - and they already had a few customers in back. The vibe was EXACTLY what you want - they were even playing this local country station and I had never ever heard any of the songs, really old school and I loved it. Hubbs "smitty" brisket sandwich was the clear winner - though the raw jalapeños were a bit much for me- the roll was perfection, a little sweet and extra soft and chewy, also larger than most sandwiches. My pork rib plate was pretty good, the beans and mac and cheese were nothing special. I will say the ribs were greatly enhanced by their BBQ sauce on the side. Bill was $32. I had read about some desserts here - but the only offing that say was slices of pecan pie - they looked very good and jam-packed with pecans - but we resisted. read more

Small town BBQ restaurant that we tried for lunch. The staff was very friendly and they recommended the brisket, since we were clearly from out of town. I went with the Brisket Sandwich (chopped up) with a side of coleslaw and green beans. I thought the sandwich was delicious. The meat had great flavor and I enjoyed their BBQ sauce. The bun sealed the whole meal together, it was fantastic. The sides weren't horrible but they weren't something I'd go out of my way to order again. The coleslaw was very interesting and was different than anything I've had before. I believe they called it a southwest coleslaw and it included cheese. The green beans were my favorite of the two, but still nothing special. Overall, small little BBQ spot with quality meat and friendly staff. We would definitely come back. read more

I left a review 5 years ago.. & Felt like they are due for another one.. This place is still amazing..!

BEST BRISKET IN TEXAS! I think this review has been put off for FAR too long. I've been a regular at 4Ts for about 2 years now. I love every single aspect of their bar-bq; hickory smoked to perfection. When I got married in 2015 I used a different bar bq spot, because I hadn't found this GOLDEN GEM yet. I wish I could go back in time and have these wonder people cater my wedding. Their meats are to die for, and if you're hungry for some Q, you better make it down there by 11 so you can have your choice of meat! They do sell out, so make sure you're there bright and early! Now to the real MEAT of this review. I've gotten their smoked turkey more times than I can count. It's absolutely tender and juicy, never a dry bite. BEST BRISKET IN TEXAS!!! And I mean that quite literally. I have never once, in my 15 years of culinary encounters, I am 30, I have never tasted anything so beautiful as 4Ts brisket. I would suggest getting a brisket sandwich if it's your first time. Or if you want something a little different than Q. They have a great burger! Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The Ribs are quite literally the 'baddest hombres' this side of the Mississippi. No one can beat their flavors. BUT YOU CANT FORGET THE PORK SAUCE! It's a vinegar based, peppery sauce for all things PORK. The pulled pork is heaven with juice and tenderness. But, again do not forget the pork sauce. Before covid, and the meat shortage. Every Saturday he would offer the absolutely, most delicious, pork belly burnt ends you'll ever try. They offer different specials, on different days. They will always have something you'll want to enjoy I promise! And if you need to have something sweet to finish your meal? Well their banana pudding is a great treat. But by far, Miss Cyndis chocolate pecan pie will leave you wanting the whole pie! I have been to countless numbers of bar-bq joints in Texas. I have travelled, I have sampled, and 4Ts is hands down, by far and wide the best!! I come at least once a week. It's a meal that you'll be craving every time you want bar-bq. read more

4T's Bar-BQ - Texas frys with chopped Brisket. - Barbeque Near Me - Forney, Texas

This is the best BBQ brisket I've had since arriving in Forney!! I ordered the "Schmitty " brisket sandwich! WOW!!! This is a lunch spot only. 11-3. Nothing fancy til u take a bite!!! WOW!!!! Delicious!! I definitely recommend you stop in!! read more

Solid lunch spot for BBQ is Forney. Sausage was great. Brisket was masterfully smoked. Kinda far to go but is a must try

Finally made it to 4T's and we were not disappointed! We got there early so we'd be sure nothing would run out. My husband and I shared a two meat plate, consisting of ribs, brisket, potato salad, baked beans & Mac & cheese. Tops Soulman's any day; we will be back! read more

We were traveling back from Dallas when I got a hankering for some BBQ! Discovered 4T's on YELP, so we thought why not! Needless to say we were not disappointed! The nicest lady took our order with helpful suggestions on what sides to get and what was already sold out. Our food was hot and delicious! I got the chopped beef sandwich with potato salad. The brisket was on point with a good combination of fatty and lean. Potato salad definitely had to be made homemade because of the consistency of it. Just the right amount of every ingredient. My husband got jalapeño sausage and pulled pork. He's not an "out of his way" seeker of BBQ. So when I say he walked away with a full belly it had to be something special. The place and restrooms were clean and again the staff was friendly. We would definitely recommend this place and we will be going back! read more

Solid BBQ. Best kept secret in Forney. Definitely the best in town. I wish they were open for dinner

I would advise that POC avoid this place at all costs. I ordered here once and NEVER will again. The entire vibe of this place wasn't welcoming at all. On top of that the "BBQ" was bland and pathetic. The owners were both very rude an inpatient when I had a question while ordering though the kiosk. By far the worse BBQ establishment that I've ever visited. read more

POC this owner is a known racist! His food is gross. Gave my whole family food poisoning on Mother's Day weekend. I have called many times to discuss this with him and he will not respond. Called me a racial slur and hung up on me. The macaroni & chz is strait up velveeta with bacon bits on top. The brisket was fatty and the sausage looked like it had been smoked at the Alamo. The banana pudding is what nearly killed our whole family. Stay away from this place! read more

We ordered last minute catering for a baby shower and we were not disappointed at all! Everything was included in the package for catering and the portions were generous as well. Highly recommend for catering services. read more

Had to try the new menu item: Hickory Hamburger. This is a winner without the bar-b-q sauce on it. Mike does a perfect summertime backyard hamburger. I devoured it and then remembered I should have taken a picture of it. read more

A quick look at "da ribs" picture by yelper Cody J. nails the amount of juicy smoke and flavor sitting on these fabulous ribs from 4T's BBQ ! You can almost imagine what they will taste like from a photo.... Thankfully, I was able to taste these delicious meat morsels in real life! Twice (actually would have been 3, as we wanted to get some more to take on the plane home but our flight was earlier than they opened)...in less than 24 hours. While on a recent visit to the area the handy yelp app directed the nose of my rental car into the gravel driveway of 4T BBQ for some serious good BBQ...according to the poster on the wall, the restaurant had recently been voted top 50 in Texas (so true!). Our party of 9 ate heartily for under $75, we all left fully satisfied and came back the next day for more! We did not get drinks, the meats, sides and bread were plenty filling! Fried okra was good. The star here? Ribs. oh. yeah. The ribs are on point! We also received a quick tour of the smoker by the friendly kitchen staff out back and had a chance to see the owner preparing his meat for the weekend...a huge cartload! This place is way better than the billboard buying joint around the corner (which only has *** on yelp btw) so, get off the highway and keep heading into downtown Forney for this gem of a BBQ eatery! The storefront is pretty basic and little easy to miss. Be sure to check the hours and yep...they do sell out of BBQ, try to time your visit accordingly. I'm back in Cali now...but dang..I could go for some more ribs about now! read more

4T's stands for Tender, Tasty, Titillating and TERRIFIC!!!! I tried the ribs and sliced brisket with baked beans and potato salad. I cleaned my container! Great job 4T's! read more

The food is good, the seating is ok, the drinks are self-serve, there is nothing to dislike except their hours. It's a lunch spot for sure.

Brisket is excellent but their fries are too salty. The schmitty sandwich was amazing. We're about sixty minutes from 4T and we'll be driving it again for that Schmitty! I'm read more

Interesting hole in the wall. The lady taking the orders seemed as if she did want to be there. So they completed my order and just left it on the counter. Ok. I get home to eat my food. It looks good. Not the case. It was just ok. Because of the reviews I expected more. Not impressed. Oh well. read more

I came across this BBQ spot on Yelp. My mother wanted ribs and brisket for her birthday dinner, so I called and placed an order for ribs, brisket and sausage. Now the ribs were fall off the bone perfect, as for the brisket, in my opinion it was a bit too over seasoned. The seasoning was very overpowering for me and our guests. read more

I've been told about this place and finally got a chance to try it out. Very friendly service and the food is great. read more

I can't say that I'm biased because I live in Forney because the BBQ is authentic and damn good! 4Ts is consistent with their taste and friendly staff! Forever a customer!! read more

Sold out quick which is no surprise after the top 50 list came out. The owner was really nice and was there telling everyone he was sold out. The staff was nice, building simple and the BBQ good all around. Even though he was sold out of brisket, he brought us a sample at the end! The prices are great as well...worth the 20 minute drive from Dallas. read more

It's been a couple of years since I've been here as I wasn't overwhelmed after the first visit. The decor is clean and has your typical BBQ joint feel to it. You have the option of ordering plates, sandwiches or ordering meat by the pound. I ordered 1/2 lb of sliced brisket and 2/3 lb of moist brisket. They have a condiment bar with the usual (e.g. pickles, onions, jalapenos, etc.). The brisket looked great, it had a nice bark around the entire slice and it was cut to the right thickness. While the moist was good (easier to cook correctly), the lean was solidly above average. Both slices had nice caramelization throughout the small fat cap that was left on the brisket. Very impressive brisket. The only thing I would like to see would be a little more pepper in the bark. Sauce was good as well. I will definitely be back and it won't take 2 years to visit the next time. read more

Easy to miss this place, but once you've had their BBQ, you'll never lose sight of it! I've only had their sliced brisket sandwiches, but they are spot on! Good smoke flavor and seasoning, plenty of tender meat, and a soft, but sturdy roll. My friend prefers her brisket chopped, but quality was the same. It's a generously sized sandwich. 1-2 stars better than Soulman's around the corner, and 2-3 stars better than Dickie's. read more

This place seems to sell out quick so get there early. I got there right before close and was only able to get sausage and potato salad. The sausage had awesome smoke flavor and a nice snap. read more

Love support local business. 4T is only open 11-3 Tuesday-Saturday Me and the boyfriend had lunch here today. Tried the smoked turkey , brisket and pulled pork. Great portion sizes. Sides were Mac n cheese, green beans , pinto beans and slaw. Had the chocolate pecan pie it was decadent! Stop by if you have the time for lunch , they frequently sell out!! read more

Texas Monthly missed the mark on this one BIG time! Should be a jerky joint, as the BBQ is not fit to eat. Staff is rude and place smells like they have deep fried sewage. Would not reccomend. read more

This is what $22.00 gets you, supposed to be lean brisket. The worst part is that I'm still hungry so I'll have to go somewhere else to eat lunch. read more

4T's Bar-BQ - This was supposed to be a one meat lean brisket plate - Barbeque Near Me - Forney, Texas

This probably has the BEST brisket in the business. Make sure to swing by early enough on Saturdays!

Great BBQ made by great people. We are lucky to have a place like this in Forney. These days there are many places with good meat. Not only is their meat great, but their sides make 4T's worth visiting just for them. Also, they make some creative concoctions you just don't get most places. The tacos are my favorite. You can't go wrong here. read more

Always delicious. I'm not a big brisket eater, but theirs is always on good. My favorite thing is the fries and now that they have the loaded fries. read more

Always the best place to go for bbq. Their ribs you will fight over if you can catch them in the bldg. order ribs, baked beans, and potato salad to truly be happy. Oh.... they do accept orders in advance! read more

Trust me you don't have enough stars to rate this BQ place. The ribs are beyond great; when you can get them. They sell out before they open in Saturdays. The young lady at the front told me, " call before 11:00 AM of you want ribs". Well you know me, last minute not thinking. I walk in around 12:15 and asked for a 2 meat plate which was ribs and wet sliced beef. Yelp!!! You guessed it, no ribs. I ended up with sausage and wet sliced beef. I also got a half smoked chicken. (relax, no that was not for 1 meal, I purchased some for later) The food was delicious and I do mean good. The meat is always tender and the BBQ beans..... Oh my Gawd!!!! Try to visit Forney, stop by 4 T's and see for yourself how good it is. If you don't like it.... Then it sucks to be you! Oh and they close at 3. If your waiting until 2 PM to go then you only want sweet tea and some BBQ sauce, hell everything else is probably sold out. read more

This place is by far one of the best BBQ spots!! A buddy and I go almost every Friday religiously for lunch lol! The Schmidt sandwich with jalapeños, and Texas Fries loaded with jalapeño sausage will keep you full till next Friday! Lol read more

All I can say is this is some pretty serious Q. I had the pulled pork,and ribs, and both were outstanding. My plate included potato salad and barbeque beans, and as sides go, they were just as good as the meats. I only wish I lived much closer to Forney, but the drive from Carrollton was definitely worth it without question to a barbeque aficionado as myself. I will be back! read more

Excellent BBQ and sides! Whenever I'm in Forney I make it a point to stop here. The pork ribs are the best I've had and the brisket is delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Giving 3 stars for flavor and price. The flavor of the meat was ok if you like the mesquite flavor. The smoked sausage and the jalapeno sausage was pretty good. Green beans good, Mac and cheese ok. Pulled pork seemed burnt and over powering with mesquite. The price for (2) three meat plates in my opinion was too much especially for the taste of the food. Sorry 4 T's BBQ I'll stick with sticky ribs on helms and hwy 20. I have to say though if y'all dont mind the price or mesquite flavor then you will like this place. The people inside were very nice. If nothing else they have good customer service. read more

Great beans and tater salad, the BBQ not so much. Very tender but had a burnt taste to it and no smoke flavor whatsoever. Overpriced as well, will not return. read more
