    Spicy Pastrami Brisket,  Pork Belly Burnt Ends, fries
    JD M.

    First impression is this is more "bar" than "restaurant". I didn't see anyone eating when we arrived at 7:00pm. For the record we came for both BBQ and whiskey tasting that was happening at 8:00pm. Unfortunately the server knew nothing about the tasting. She conveyed it was just for invited guest so that's why she didn't know anything about it. Well, if you consider the invite was published on Facebook and everyone was invited... Moving on- The ambiance is definitely "bar". Lots of booze on the wall behind the bar, many beers to choose from on tap and in bottles and cans. High top tables almost exclusively. There were some half-booths in a back room. I'm not a fan of the high top tables as the chairs tend to become uncomfortable after an hour or so. But I get it- it's a bar vibe. We ordered various combo plates that included pastrami, brisket, pork belly burnt ends, and various sides like fries and glazed carrots. Also the deviled eggs as an appetizer. My impression was the pastrami, a very thick slice, was tasty, but served on the "less than warm" side and was kind of tough. I prefer food to be hot or at least very warm. So this was a disappointment. It was also very dry, so I suspect it had been pre- sliced, which is not good for bbq. The pork belly burnt ends were large cubes of pork belly that were probably 2 to 4 bites each, depending on how big a bite you want to take. It required a knife to cut which is not a great sign for pork belly. It was also served "not hot". I'd rather see smaller bites and served very warm to hot. Again, probably pre-sliced and smoked that way, then reheated. I feel this is the problem: they don't serve enough of any particular bbq item to keep it fresh, in a warmer, wrapped, and sliced to order. Too bad as the selections all sounded great on the menu. On to the sides- the glazed carrots and fries were both excellent. Best glazed carrots I've ever had. Deviled eggs: panko breaded and fried the hard boiled egg half's then filled. Served warm. Predominant flavors is like the yolk from an old hard boiled egg that's been in the fridge a while. Loved the concept but flavor not to my liking. I took one home and later ate it cold out of my fridge and it tasted much better. IDGI. Desert: cake was delicious. I did t care for the topping. At 8:00 pm folks from Milam and Greene distillery stopped by and introduced themselves and said we could have whatever we wanted from their brand- shots, cocktails- on them. They were super nice. I highly recommend their Port barrel finished Rye.

    The atmosphere is very cozy and laid back. Jalea is an amazing bartender make sure you ask for her she'll get you right!

    Texas Prime Brisket 1/2 LB  This is their "moist brisket".... Dry and from the flat part of the brisket. Worst BBQ in the area... by far.
    Nick S.

    Horrible BBQ. Take a look at the dry, undersized, and lean order that was supposed to be 1/2 lbs of Prime Fatty Brisket. This place is trying to get one over on its customers.

    Filthy restaurant, mediocre food. Floors were sticky and windows look like someone got murdered covered in splatter. Bbq isn't any better than dickies. Can only imagine how bad the kitchen is.

    love everything from the people to the food all the way down to last call!!! definitely a place i can always go and know i will have a great night !

    They need help on waitresses ~ listening is not their skill. But she was nice. Not a repeat - food was just ok

    Deviled Eggs
    Ashley P.

    The appetizers and drinks were spot on delicious :). Burger didn't really taste much yet was made from brisket, so I'm surprised there wasn't more flavor. Our server ended up being the manager cause I think the waitress was new and overwhelmed. Manager was very polite and knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks (but he was the manager, so I'd expect no less, lol). This was the first place I'd been to that tried to gouge on tipping. They might need to pay their staff more if they need the customers to give 35% tip to their staff. We probably wont be back unfortunately, cause it was a decent place and open late, but I'd have just gotten drinks if I'd known they'd make me feel bad for not giving 35% instead of the usual 20%. It was around 8pm when we went so it was quiet and not very many people. Clean and lots of TV's.

    Texas Prime Brisket 1/2 LB & Fried Okra
    Santanu S.

    Usually, when I order a brisket plate, its contents alone usually satisfy my appetite. If it was not for the fried okra, the amount of brisket and the slice of Texas toast would not have satiated me. The pickles and red onions must have meant to be garnishment. Unfortunately, I did not realize I was overcharged for the beer until I was home. When I ordered my beer, I pointed to the Yuengling Traditional Lager on the printed menu priced at $4.50. On my bill, it shows Yuengling Flight Draft at $6.50. Fortunately, I only ordered one glass; otherwise, the overcharge would have been multiplied. As for the service, there were several regulars at the bar. Sadly, the bartender paid more attention to them. For instance, she never came to check on me to ask about the food or if I needed anything else.

    Ribs and sausage
    Jonathan N.

    The worst BBQ that I have ever had. The fries are average at best. Mac n cheese tasted like it was from a box. The pulled pork comes pre sauces and is terrible. The brisket had no flavor at all. The portions were incredibly small. For $60 between two people... I'm super pissed off.

    Finally dropped by here after 5 years of driving by it. In short, food was solid. Ambiance was casual. Service was a bit slow. Ambiance: modern casual and mainly focused around the bar. Service: walked in and didn't know whether to sear ourselves or not. Ended up just grabbing a table and the bartender came over. He was very friendly, but service was just a bit slow to get things like water, check, boxes, etc. since it was just mainly him. Food: I actually really enjoyed the food. + Smoke fried chicken wings: excellent! worth the hype!! Almost have me a smokey Peking duck vibe and served with a side of ranch and buffalo sauce + BBQ plate with the turkey and sausage and baked potatoe salad: good. Waiter recommended this and it was solid. Turkey was ok but sausage and potatoes salad were great! + Tacos: good All in all I would come back!!

    At the recommendation of some co-workers, I grabbed dinner at Hard Eight while I was in town on…read morebusiness. The food was good, if not the greatest BBQ I've ever had, but the overall experience was much fun. The restaurant is in the form of a large barn with ample seating and a walk-through line where you can pick out your meat and then any sides and drinks you'd like. I enjoyed having the "conundrum" of trying to figure out which of the meats to try as they stare at you from the smoker, all saying, "Pick me!" My first visit to any BBQ place is nearly always to try the pulled pork, figuring that if they can't get that right, nothing else is likely all that good. That's not always true, but since pulled pork is one of my favorites, it's a good approach anyway. :) I took my platter laden with an abundant amount of pulled pork and then selected corn on the cob, cole slaw, a slice of custard pie, and a sweet tea. After paying, I made my way into the main dining area and selected a high-top wooden table along the wall that was, shall we say, very awkward to sit at based on how the stationary stool was positioned in conjunction with the table, so I moved to a nearby regular table that was just fine. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but based on the temperature that day, I chose to stay inside. Digging in, I found the pulled pork to be good, but it was a little dry and salty. The standard house BBQ sauce was good, though, and the corn on the cob was very nice. The cole slaw was about what you'd expect, and the custard pie was tasty, even if it wasn't the best I'd ever had. The sweet tea was excellent. What I probably loved most, though, was eating all this in that environment, with the Texas-American paraphernalia hanging on the walls and a radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s country music over the speakers--the years when I loved country the most. I wanted a BBQ experience as big as Texas while I was here, and I got that. For that reason, my visit to Hard Eight was a hit, and I will happily visit again on a future trip.

I'm grading it based on what I'd expect from a grocery store vs from a premium BBQ restaurant. They have lots of options and you can choose to order ahead if you want to shop first which is nice. Got the two meat plate with fatty brisket and burnt ends and sides of fried okra and collared greens. The fatty brisket was very moist and had a vibe smoky flavor. Burnt ends were pretty moist and flavorful as well. A slight step below what you'd get at a place like Hutchins despite being around 50% cheaper. As of today, it's $29/lb for brisket vs Hutchins which is up to $40/lb. The sides were decent. I liked that they had lots of options including desserts and veggies that you don't always see. The fried okra was a large portion but was easy over salted otherwise would've been great. Definitely a great option for some delicious BBQ at a great value and super convenient combined with a shopping trip to HEB.
