I was so excited about the bbq grilled cheese. Ordered the sandwich and beans for myself and a friend to be delivered by Uber Eats. I was beyond disappointed. The sandwich barely had any meat on either of them. The beans were delicious but the sandwich was what I had my heart set on. read more

Barrel & Bones - This looks nothing like the sandwich in their ad. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pretty good spot with some delicious brisket and cranberry composte. The thing i didnt like though was the food just doesnt seem to go together well. I tried the breakfast sandwich but it was just not for me. It was too sweet while trying to be savory with the bbq brisket. I also tried the rueban but i didnt like the sour kraut or something on it, im not exactly sure what it was on there that didn't click with me. Pulling apart the sandwiches though and just eating the bbq meat was really good. I loved the cranberry composte, it complemented the food so well. I also got the soup of the day which was some special chicken tortilla soup i believe. The soup was great. If I'm in town again and they have a special, I'll probably roll back through. The service was good and the ambiance was nice. I heard they open the big garage door when it's nice out, so that must be extra pleasant. read more

Last night we were actually, headed to another restaurant, but once, we arrived in the strip mall, Barrel & Bones caught my husband's eye. The restaurant wasn't too noisy and had a couple of different games on the TVs. The menu was fun, and we soon settled on our dinner choices: Spicy Pastrami Brisket for me and House Prime Pastrami for hubby. The sandwich was made with Sauerkraut, Jack Cheese, House Pickles, Alabama BBQ sauce on Texas Toast. I chose a caesar side salad as my side, and hubby's plate included Texas toast and his selected side of fried okra. These were so yummy. For me, fried okra can easily be a miss, but these were expertly done. They were hot, crispy and very light, not heavy, oily or slimy. The house pickled onions and cucumbers were tasty. My only complaint was that I could have had more Alabama white sauce on the side. The waiter was friendly, and funny. All the staff was attentive. I had asked for my side caesar to be lightly dressed and so when the server brought the plate out, he included a little extra caesar dressing in case he had dressed the salad too lightly. We enjoyed our evening, and while it was not the absolutely best brisket, we've had, it was definitely respectable and we enjoyed the evening. read more

Meal was great. Has the spicy pastrami sandwich and it didn't disappoint. Pastrami was very tender and tasty. Marc took good care of us.

The food and service is always amazing!!! They also have great drinks and specials throughout the week. The bartender Marc is always super friendly and attentive. They also have an amazing brunch on the weekends. The ambiance is great and they have pool and Golden Tee if you like playing games. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!!! read more

Service was fast and great! The place was roomy and well decorated or at least the ambiance was just right for a perfect date night dinner out.. food was on point! Great portions, prices, and recommendations for both drinks and entrees from our server. Had a Garrisons Brothers shot and it was one of the smoothest shots taken, thanks to our bartenders recommendation. It is a $48 shot tho just y'all know. But it's well worth the quick but smooth taste. One personal recommendation would be the jalapeño bites or poppers, I forgot what they called it but here's a picture with my review ..hehe read more

Ordered from here for delivery. Food dry but it may have been better if they gave me barbecue sauce!!! Luckily I had some available... shame to call yourself a barbecue restaurant. read more

I should have paid more attention to the reviews. On line order of sausage and ribs side of truffle fries. Recuved brisket instead of ribs. Brisket was dry and inedible. Sausage was good but very tough casing. Truffle fries were good. I did get a refund from DoorDash for the missing item.​​ could not recommend. read more

Solid food. The Al Pastor taco was my favorite and then the Quesabrira was #2. The Chicken Tinga wasn't my favorite but still good. The Avocado Bomb was super flavorful and filling for sure. They have a large whiskey selection and a good selection of beer on tap. Staff was great, got right in at the bar and was taken care of the whole time. The place has a small restaurant/bar feel and was straightforward and simple. All in all a great place and it was worth the walk in 103F heat from the Hilton Lincoln Center, ~15 minutes. read more

Always heard that Texas has the best BBQ this was not in my top 10. Ribs were a little over done. Brisket was average at best and only decent meat was jalapeño cheddar sausage was a seven out of 10 Baked bean were cold read more

The food is amazing. They have great value deals and super friendly staff, especially Zack. They should definitely be more busy than they are. Nice ambiance to come watch a game and have a few drinks and order dinner. read more

Worst worst worst service ever. Came Once. Worst service. Decided to try again. WORST SERVICE Ever. Owner/manager was totally wasted. Totally unhelpful To the staff. Food takes FOREVER!!!! read more

Came for lunch one day. Service was great. Ordered a half brisket grilled cheese and soup of the day which was brisket poblano. Soup was excellent. Brisket grilled cheese had good flavor but was delivered to table cold and the cheese had congealed. It was just ok. Husband got the Pitmaster sandwich. He liked it. Loved the homemade pickles. Thought they might be sweet which is not my favorite but they were just dill. Very tasty. BBQ sauce was a little too sweet for my liking but the only sauce I really like is Stubbs original so I just prefer a less sweet sauce. All in all looking forward to visiting again and trying something different. read more

Pleasantly surprised that it was busy and open last on a Wednesday night. Enjoyed the local ambience, jute box and sports in 10 tvs. Food was well priced. Burger was solid. Brisket and turkey was dry. Jalapeño sausage was a pleasant surprise. Wednesday was whiskey night, $5 of liquid Texas, wet my whistle. Overall a solid 4 for the overall experience. read more

Three of us tried B&B for lunch. Very few customers that day. Western ambiance with comfortable booths. Service was very good - friendly, attentive, and let us set the pace. The House stacked Turkey Melt with coleslaw my friend ordered was apparently just ok and he said he would choose something else next time (got same reaction on the Brisket Grilled Cheese). I tried the Smoked Prime Brisket Burger with fries. The fries were exceptional, and I definitely recommend them. The burger on the other hand was not what I expected, and I would not get it again. I thought it would be sliced prime brisket in a burger like sandwich, but it was just a burger patty it seemed, and I thought the fixings gave it a strange taste that was not for me. Our waiter only recommended the pastrami, and we probably should have listened to him. Overall, just not for me. read more

This is a gorgeous restaurant... nice and small... excellent service ... and delicious food! We went for brunch and tried some regular items as well. Fried green tomatoes were my favorite! Barrel and Bones is a great addition to this shopping center. We will be back to try out more of their menu soon. read more

Maddy and Joe and Zach Hall - the GOAT- were my inaugural ambassadors to this hidden gem in this great establishment. The only issue is with the people who have not discovered this place. Whether a Saturday afternoon or a Monday night I highly recommend for service, product and atmosphere. Good stuff right across from Jesuit. read more

Food is AWFUL. Comes out cold half the time. Chilis has better bbq options believe it or not. Been charged for drinks that I didn't order multiple times. Will never be back. Won't be in business at the location that much longer I would assume, I'd be astonished if they were. read more

This is the best neighborhood joint! The food is great - I always love a brisket burger here. They have a great happy hour! Zach is the best waiter/bartender, and Maddie always take great care of us too! This is our favorite place to meet up with friends, and enjoy great food and drinks! read more

I ordered this on Uber Eats. Restaurant was only 1.6 miles away and delivery took the normal time to drive 1.6 miles. It wasn't a long wait for driver to get food. I ordered the 3 meat plate with truffle fries, ribs, pork burnt ends, and pastrami. The fries was good. The ribs was really good and moist. The burnt ends was a little dry on outside but good. The pastrami was very dry and dark. Overcooked and dried out. It was like eating jerky. Taste was decent. I also ordered a 1/2 lbs moist brisket. It was very dry like it's been under a heat lamp too long. Tasted good but dry. I don't think I'll be ordering from there again. read more

Service from young server was lacking. Food was not as warm as it should be. We didn't come during busy hour. One and done for me. read more

Dropped by to place a to go order. Sat at bar 15 minutes waiting. One bar tender and the manager. No acknowledgment at all. Observed the manager pour himself 2 double bourbons - I was sitting at end so I could see. After 15 minutes I left. This was at 4:45 on Friday 1/17. 15 other patrons at bar - bartender was serving and delivering to seated Patrons. I would fire and rehire and train new personnel. Hawk the owner would not be happy. Perhaps why sales are trending negatively. The crowd appeared to be regulars. Can only imagine how the kitchen is run. read more

Arrived to meet 2 friends for dinner. We loved the atmosphere, and the service was top notch. The food, however...was some of the worst bbq I've ever had, unfortunately. Almost all the food came out cold. The brisket appeared to have been cooked for a while, and possibly reheated. The pork burnt ends were basically inedible. One side of them was like chewing leather. The 'Texas Toast' was dry and hard, as if it had been toasted the day before and left to sit out. I mean, it was solidly hard all through. The baked beans were just not tasty, and a little watery. The only decent thing? Sweet potato fries, the single dish that arrived piping hot. We all agreed we would not be back. I'm rating the place a 2 due to atmosphere and service being good; can't go higher because the food was just so bad. read more

Barbecue is pretty good. Generous portion. Service is slow but nice person. No one in there but is. No ribs (cooking ?). Will not go back

Food was ok. Place was empty. It was the day after Thanksgiving so not a great day for lunch out so had the place been full that always makes it a lot more fun for me. Waitress was nice. Soft serve is only for kids and was turned off which was a turn off for me. Hope they do well. It's a great location. read more

First time in. No draft beer because cooler was broken. Per the staff, it has been broken over a week. Can beer was also not cold. I asked what was good on the menu, they bartenders said brisket and "burnt ends" and sausage. I tried the burnt ends and was completely disappointed. All fat, no meat. I then looked at the memu and realized they serve "pork belly" burnt ends. This explained the difference, but even so, they were disgusting. Over cooked, all fat, and zero flavor. I sent them back. I wish restaurants would stop masking pork belly as a beef burnt end. It's a sham. Just call them wtf they are. I then moved on to the wings. These were full wings and sold as "smoked". There was nothing smoked about them. Just baked chicken slathered with off the shelf buffalo sauce. If you looking for a bar b q joint, this aint it. I am not really sure what it is. Service was o.k., but they don't know what burnt ends are so... read more

Very solid BBQ joint. Food was very good and environment was welcoming. They are a new restaurant so I'm sure they are still working through the kinks so I would take these reviews with a grain of salt. Service for the food was surprisingly quick where the drinks took longer than expected (15+ minutes). It's also pretty small so I don't think I would come with a group larger than about 8 people. I would absolutely give this place another try. read more

Service was good although smaller than Colony location it has good vibe. Food is good and fairly priced. Go try it only drawback is parking is limited. read more

The turkey was extremely dry, lacked flavor. The mac n cheese just lacked flavor too, the "powder" on top of macaroni was spicy and just not good. And the bbq sauce tasted like ketchup. We won't be back. Too bad because it's so close. read more

Really wanted to love this place because it's a welcome addition to the neighborhood. However, didn't love the food or the drinks. Place is fun. Love the vibe, t.v.s and pool table in back but can't get past the bad food and drinks/beer that disappoint for a high price tag so it's a pass for us. read more

Carry out order so I can't speak to service or ambiance. I wavered over whether to give a 3 or 4. The food flavors were generally pretty good, about on par with Red Hot and Blue or Pluckers. But at this price point it should be better. The fries were some of the worst I've had, soggy and nearly flavorless. But the biggest disappointment was the chopped salad which was primarily kale and cabbage. For $6.99 the added chicken was less than an ounce of dry stringy meet. It was practically laughable. My son insisted the half pound pork was no where near half a pound, but given that's the pre-cooked weight, it's hard to know. I generally give the benefit of the doubt based on one experience. But with all the solid barbecue places in Dallas this one hasn't earned second chance. read more

A fantastic, local restaurant with great food, friendly, attentive service and reasonable prices. We have been several times, both for happy hour and dinner and have not been disappointed. Thank you to Zach who always makes sure we have what we need and serves it with a smile! All the food except the bread is made in house. Personal favorites: Old Fashioned, appetizer Brussels sprouts and brisket burger. read more

Had a terrible experience there. I live in the neighborhood and was shocked at how my friends and I were treated tonight. We are regular customers. The bartender and his friend/coworker threatened me and treated my friends horribly for absolutely no reason. It was just ridiculous. I'll never go back. The food isn't great anyway. read more

This is a new restaurant in our area so we decided to try it out. Everyone was very friendly when we entered and they quickly found us a table and brought water right over. And then we waited and waited. A group came in after us and was seated and they took their order about the same time they finally took ours. Food was hit and miss. Sausage is really good, but brisket tastes like it was cooked in the oven (no smoke flavor at all). BTW, a breast and a wing is not the advertised 1/2 chicken and for $14.99, I expect more than a dry piece of chicken breast. We were forgotten once again when it was time to pay and leave. Sat there for at least 20 minutes trying to get someone's attention. read more

This is a difficult one. First time I came here I had the sandwich and everything was great. Would've given it a four-star. My side order the broccolini was a little too tough and hard to chew another minute cooking would made it perfect if the head only added some salt and pepper. However, tonight, and it was almost inedible . Service was great but food was cold bland and actually bagged it up for the dogs. Order the combo platter had pulled pork was sitting in a cold barbecue sauce would not order again &the brisket this time was nothing like the previous sandwich, col stringy and vet very fatty not to mention bland. I'll try it one more time because I've been to theother locations and liked. We really need something in the neighborhood. I think it would've been better if they attempted to heat it up and not give me an excuse about It is a smoked meat so it won't get you sick if cold. I like hot food Cold barbecue was fatty. They also forgot the onion and pickles that came along with that meal. Bummer read more
