I've been to all of the "big name" BBQ restaurants in Fort Worth multiple times, and today I ate at Angelo's for the first time. I can see why it's been a Fort Worth favorite since 1958. I had lean brisket, beans, potato salad, and an ice cold Shiner. Everything was absolutely delicious! This wooden structure has genuine western charm and has plenty of free parking. Plenty of tables and booths available. Angelo's is hands down my favorite BBQ restaurant in Fort Worth now. It is big inside, but everyone working there has good, small town Texas manners. Next time you're craving some outstanding brisket or chicken, skip the multi location restaurants and give this family owned restaurant a try. read more

After spending the afternoon at the stockyards, we specifically ventured out to Angelos for their desserts, and it did not disappoint. We shared a pecan cobbler, which was divine. The restaurant has a divy atmosphere, with plenty of animals staring at you while you go about your day/evening. The staff was very friendly. Beers are served in chilled, heavy glasses which is a nice surprise. Curious to come back and try the barbecue as well! read more

The meats here are pretty solid and for me, that was the best things at this place. The sides....theyre ok and good enough....but not blow your hair back kind of places. For me, I like the mystique of the place. An old school; hasn't changed much thru the years kind of place! read more

This is real Texas BBQ served in an actual BBQ joint. It's like stepping into the past. The BBQ is excellent. Sides are perfect. You cannot go wrong stepping in this duper authentic Texas BBQ experience. LOVE the decor complete with old picnic tables and taxidermy. I wouldn't change a thing. read more

I've been eating Angelo's Barbecue since my dad took me for lunch when I was a kid, and it still had the low ceiling and sawdust on the floor. Their sliced beef sandwiches are delicious, and their plates have always been generous. It's a counter-service restaurant with great table service for refills and other needs. Some of the long-time original staff behind the counter have retired after many years, but the food is still perfect. read more

Food here is usually awesome. However, this time the bbq was dry and seemed like it had been held too long. It was disappointing and we didn't take the leftovers as the quality was that poor. Probably won't return. Too many other wonderful local bbq locations. read more

Husband and I were in the area and decided to stop by since we have not been here in a while. We arrived right when it opened so beat the crowd. The food was delicious. This was my first time trying the tacos and they were pretty good. The ambiance was nice and there is lots of seating options. We had a delicious lunch and will visit again when we are in the area read more

I tried the sliced Brisket sandwich. BRisket was the star-tender and seasoned good. They could improve if they toasted the bun, it was too moist almost soggy. Their bbq sauce, which tasted great, could to be thicker. Potatoe salad was fine but their smoked mac n cheese could be improved-maybe its the cheese which tasted canned. Atmosphere and customers were vintage. Really interesting taxidermies all over, deer, moose, bears etc. Hey, its cool western vibe. This is Cow Town, afterall. Place hasnt been renovated in 50-60 years. Good value for your$. I would eat here again. read more

Leave the "famous" overpriced BBQ places to the tourists. Angelos is fantastic real Texas BBQ right on the edge of Downtown Fort Worth. I love the brisket, love the sausage, love the sides. Smoked turkey too. Great now I'm hungry. read more

First time customer. My husband and I try different bbq restaurants in the dfw area and this one was recommended from his co workers. The staff was courteous and there wasn't much of a line. My husband and I got the rib plates. The ribs didn't have much seasoning and the outer skin was extremely tough. The smoked mac n cheese was pretty good and the beans were okay. Doubt we come back read more

Boy I do not like writing these kinds of reviews. I went to Angelo's with friends for dinner before a show nearby at Casa Mañana. My friends parents have been coming here for like 50 years so it holds a special place in their memories and I think that is why Angelo's means a lot to them. As someone who was just looking for a good BBQ potato, it wasn't quite the same experience. The place is huge but it was largely deserted with only a few tables having guests. The room is dated and there are mounted game trophy heads around the ceiling perimeter. This didn't bother me so much, but I am sure that some people would not be wild about it, so be forewarned. Back to the BBQ... I had the BBQ potato and it wasn't hot, barely lukewarm, and that a huge red flag for me. I like hot food hot. And the BBQ wasn't what I was expecting. I saw one of the guys chopping brisket behind the counter and I assumed this was for our potatoes, but it wasn't. The meat for the potato came out a a warmer or something and it had already been mixed with sauce. That's another red flag for me. I prefer to sauce my own food as I like a very small amount of sauce on my BBQ. I want to taste the meat. As it was, the sauce didn't really add anything to it and both me and another friend who had a potato agreed with what I found. It seems Angelo's is a place that you either really like, or really don't care for. Unfortunately, I am in the latter group. There are too many BBQ places nearby that I would prefer to go to before I would consider Angelo's again. read more

atmosphere was nice and I loved the mounts. the lines were long but moving fast. the food was pretty good and had a nice kick to it.

The turkey - let me just say - is FANTASTIC! I went for lunch, and the staff were so incredibly kind! The whole vibe of the restaurant was very cozy. I am very glad I went, and I recommend it to anyone going through the Dallas-Fort Worth area! read more

While Angelo's is a very historic barbecue joint, that also means that it is relying on It's prior accomplishments rather than what it's doing today. I have been eating here since the early 80s, and it's getting to the point where I'm considering not eating here again. It's never been one of my favorite places, as I am not a big fan of a yellow mustard based barbecue sauce, but they do have amazing cold beer served in frozen fishbowl mugs. My wife and I decided to have lunch at Angelo's today and we both have the stuffed baked potato choice of meat with chopped barbecue. $13.50 per plate. What shocked me was that they charged $.75 for about a tablespoon of grated cheese. Seriously? $13.50 for a baked potato and a charge for that little bit of grated cheese just seemed petty. All told with drink and tip it was pushing $40 for two people for average barbecue So unless you want the nostalgia of eating at Angelo's, there are much better places to eat barbecue in Fort Worth. read more

A friend was hungry for bbq at 8:30 on a Saturday. Angelos internet presence was marked OPEN, closing listed as 10pm. We hurried over from East Ft Worth, close to Hurst. We got there by 9:30 and they were completely closed! Grrr! It's not what we were craving, but we headed to Lucilles, who actually operates according to their listed hours. Dinner was good, but not bbq. read more

I went to Angelo's with a few coworkers for a quick lunch. My expectations were not too high,but the experience for sure met and may have even exceeded the expectations. The team has speedy service and prices were realistic, especially for barbecue. There wasn't anything that stood out flavorwise, but the green beans, coleslaw, and sauce all complemented the juicy smoked chicken pretty well. What an interesting and eclectic decor they have! read more

A relic past its time...makes me sad...schooners of ice cold beer the remaining remnant of Q royalty. Both brisket and sausage was bone dry...sweet tea still sweet!! Team are great guys and it's classic. Perhaps if you can really oversee what's being carved maybe you have a chance but just sorry dry. read more

A trip down memory lane. My father has been coming here since the 60s and it hasnt changed much. The barbq is good and was hot and fresh. The service was okay they gave me a wrong side. The potato salad was meh but the mac was decent. If you are in the area please stop by and try it. Also the animals on the walls are from every nook of the world very cool! read more

Food, overall, was good. I asked about Texas Twinkies and was recommended their bacon jalapeño wrapped chicken thingys. Those were actually a bit nasty. Not even close to a Texas Twinkie. Good atmosphere, friendly service. Nothing very special on the menu - but the brisket tacos were excellent as well as the PEACH COBBLER W/ICE CREAM!!! read more

Angelo's was one of my go to restaurants for barbecue in Fort Worth for a long time, but I don't think I'll go again. Tonight I had a sliced beef plate with corn and green beans. The sliced brisket was absolutely horrible. It was dry and tough and hard to slice and really the flavor didn't taste like smoked brisket. It tasted more like roast beef. The corn and green beans were cold and tasted like they came directly out of a can...no flavor whatsoever. Generally, the green beans are well seasoned. too it off with two slices of cheap white bread. I will not be going back to Angelo's again. It's sad. They used to be so good. read more

Angelo's BBQ is a great place to eat barbecue! A Fort Worth classic. Always delicious whether you order ribs, sliced beef or anything else on the menu. read more

Great place for some classic BBQ! Quick service and overall a great spot to get together with friends or bring your family to.

Fantastic and yum turkey! So good and delicious! Yum yum yum. Thank you! Smokey flavor. read more

The original and best classic BBQ in the metroplex. Always a fun place to have an ice cold beer. No one beats the ribs at Angelo's. The atmosphere is fun and nostalgic. read more

I came here during a work trip due to a recommendation from a coworker. As soon as I pulled in the parking lot I knew I would like this place. It smells like meat as soon as you open your car door and smoke is barreling from the backside of the restaurant. I was greeted by two gentleman that were very helpful and even gave me a taste of a few sides to help me decide. I chose the brisket and the ribs. Although I'm not a huge ribs fan, I was glad I went with the recommendation for these ribs. They were so tender and delicious I loved them. They had just a thin bark on them and definitely fell off the bone. The brisket was tad dry for my liking and the only reason I took a star off. All in all, a great spot for a Wednesday late lunch and definitely a place I would recommend. This place just feels comfortable!! read more

Have been here several times. This visit I wasn't particularly hungry, so I just got an order of the jalapeño poppers. $10 for 4. Stuffed with smoked turkey and wrapped with bacon. Not much cheese in there but that's ok with me. Would get again! Place was pretty quiet at 5pm on a Wednesday. read more

Angelos Barbecue - Poppers - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Certainly a historic site. The ribs were delicious and juicy. The chicken was ok, a little on the dry side. The sauce left something to be desired. Something was missing as it lacked oomph. It was watery (possibly Texan) but bland. I bathed my chicken in it to no avail. The lighting could use a real update. It was quite dark and fluorescently dungeoness. A warm color hue with more luminance was be a big improvement. It's counter service which is ok but it didn't seem like anyone really cared. There are no sauce bottles on the tables forcing you to go up to ask for more ketchup, etc. Overall, I imagine Angelo's had a loyal following from locals but there're too many options available for those new to the city for it to survive the next decade. read more

I have been going here since I was a kid in the 70s. Today, even with all the bbq choices we have in the area, this is still one of my favorite places to go. They never disappoint. Food and service is always good. read more

Undoubtedly the worst barbecue meal I've ever had. The meat was a sort of mystery meat. It looked like beef roast they'd put barbecue sauce on. The barbecue sauce was worse. The baked beans tasted like they were three months old with bad seasoning. When I asked about onions, pickles, and jalapeños the wither said they were under the two pieces of white bread. Whatever happened to rolls like many barbecue serve? I've never been served white bread at a barbecue restaurant before. read more

Came here on a Friday around 7:30 PM, the parking lot was pretty full so we were lucky to find a spot. When we went in there was no line but a lot of the seatings were taken. I opted for a plate, which comes with two meats, and two sides and two pieces of bread. For my meats, I chose brisket and sausage and for my sides I chose mac & cheese and potato salad. The food was delicious. This place is definitely a quick pitstop if you have a full schedule and you just want an easy bite to eat with no frills. Everybody in my party was happy with their meal and left feeling full. Overall a really good spot if you're in the mood for barbecue and don't feel like waiting on a line. read more

Great bbq ribs, brisket, chicken! Everything actually. Enjoy the experience every time I go. All staff members work hard and well together so that the serving line moves quickly, efficiently and smoothly. Great taxidermy to look around at while you eat, or you can catch a game also. read more

This is pure old fashioned Texas BBQ. No frills or gimmicks just tasty food at a good price that has stayed the same for decades.

A good friend of mine told me that I should have not had a Fort Worth experience until I've been to Angelo's barbecue. I was up for it and so we went over. It's kind of in the middle of all the warehouses, but obviously this place is very popular. It smells amazing as you come to the door come with all the wood smell in the barbecue cooking. There was a long line for lunch, and I think you can either get table service or you can stand in line, but if you stand in line, you tend to get it faster. they had all the traditional Texas barbecue, like chopped beef sandwich, or your choice of meats, two retreat varieties if you wanted. And you got two sides I had never had smoked corn on the cob before, it was delicious. But the entrée I went with the chopped beef on a baked potato I had traditional coleslaw, which was very tasty with celery seeds in it. And of course, the corn. They also had jalapeño poppers, which was smoked turkey wrapped in bacon and jalapeño. Delicious! And we finally wrapped up with dessert, we chose the pecan cobbler, which I had also never had before, which is basically pecan pie done as a cobbler. Topped with vanilla ice cream it was also very delicious. But that was a ton of food that was super tasty and I rolled out of there like Oompa-Loompas were following me. Very tasty will have to try again. read more

Angelos has been there for many years, always solid bbq. Enjoyed their beef ribs. Atmosphere is not fancy, basic Texas BBQ.

This is a great place to eat!! The restaurant has a neat atmosphere, and our food was some of the beat barbecue we have ever eaten. The ribs were truly"fall off the bone" and the brisket can be cut by a fork , and melts in your mouth. One of the servers told me they have been in business for 66 years, and it shows, cause they really know what they are doing!! Great job , Angelos!!! read more

Friend actually recommended this place. Interior decor is interesting. Came during dinner time on a weekend. Got the brisket plate which comes with 3 slides ($18). Picked the cole slaw, mac and cheese, and one more item that I can't remember. Seems like... half a pound of meat. You could split between 2 people or finish the whole thing on your own. The brisket wasn't that good... I think because it was a little cold. The sides were the highlight and out of all of them probably the cole slaw was the best. There are a decent amount of TVs inside if you want to watch a. game. Plenty of seating. Definitely gives me a "hang out here" vibe. Maybe it would be better during lunch. There was a decent amount of people here. read more

this place is more like a 3.25 out of 5 stars. this review is only for take out. I wanted to get bbq around my airbnb, and found this place less than a mile away. Its very interesting, that the target plaza looks nice and updated, but if you travel to around this angelos bbq area, it looks dim and desolate at night. When we got there, it was packed, and we couldn't find parking in the lot, but luckily on the streets there was a spot open. I called and ordered a meat plate with 3 sides and it was fairly quick for them to get my food ready. The interior was fairly packed packed, and its interesting as you walk in. Its a long corridor until you get to the front and order whatever you want. It's not modern by any means, and has more of a rustic vibe. As for the meat platter, it was roughly 16.50, and it came with your choice of meat, along with 3 sides and two slices of bread. I ended up getting the sliced brisket and potato salad, mac n cheese and coleslaw. The meat wasn't as juicy and definitely needed the sauce to help flavor it. The best item for the sides was the potato salad. The mac n cheese was kinda runny and the coleslaw had a interesting after taste, guess it wasn't my cup of tea. I do enjoy the fact that they provided bbq sauce along with two slices of bread and a pickle. from reading other reviews, it looks like this bbq restaurant has been a fort worth staple for many years, and i don't know if i'll be back since texas has so many other bbq joints. If i do, i'll try something other than the brisket. read more

Angelos Barbecue - Meat plate with 3 sides. $16.50 - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Well I went back again after a year last night and at prime dinner time. Only about 15 customers in the place. Now I know why. The brisket sandwiches had very little brisket on It and the sides were not good. Four in my family were with me and all were very disappointed. The draft beer is still coldest in DFW, but I would not recommend anyone eating here. No wonder so few people in restaurant, they are not coming back either. Ever since the old man owner passed away, the son took over and obviously the quality,the nickel dining and all have driven business away. As bad as Dickey s bbq is, the food is better than this place. read more
