    This is the kind of BBQ place that took me back to my childhood days when Underwood's was the bomb. Keep the new, fancy pitmasters, and their high prices. I'll eat here. My brisket was ok as was the sausage. Plenty on the plate. Get the sauce on the side. I had tater salad and BBQ beans. Delicious. But, the selection of sides is incredible. There are so many yummy looking dishes. Tea is tasty and a free ice cream cone for dessert. (if you're not too full) Big Jack's will be my go-to Monday lunch spot.

    St Louis Ribs Plate

    Friendly service. Greeted the minute we walked in. Saw the guy ahead of us order the brisket and it looked amazing. Unfortunately when it got to our turn, we were given the well done dry end pieces. Hot link was good and St. Louis ribs were fall off the bone delicious! Clean and well kept dining areas.

    Brisket, pulled pork & slaw. FABULOUS

    FABULOUS. Old school BBQ ambience, Great selection of traditional sides. Brisket was the star. Juicy, tender & flavorful. Pulled pork was an extremely close 2nd and the Cole slaw was THE BEST I've ever had. Price was very good & service with a smile. 1st time there AND I WILL BE BACK every time I'm in DFW area. Highly recommend.

    Nothing homemade. Bland and flavorless. Big clue should have been two customers only during Saturday lunch rush.

    When I first came to Texas, I fully expected it to be wall to wall old timey BBQ joints, maybe a…read moregas station with an old guy smoking meat out back on a 100 year old smoker. Turns out that is mostly not the case. Yes, DFW has some stellar barbecue, but a lot of it lives in shiny purpose-built buildings with executive chefs and serious BBQ or fine-dining pedigrees. Well friends, this is one of those rare places I have only found a few of - A true little hidden gem. I can see why the reviews are mixed. Buffet sides can be polarizing, the building is nothing to look at inside or out, and there is no Diet Dr Pepper, which frankly feels like a sad and bold choice. But let us get to the important part. I ordered the slider plate and it was outstanding. You get two sides, which means you can try 3 different meats, one on each sandwich. I went with brisket, pork, and sausage. I chose coleslaw as one side so I could pile it onto the sandwiches, and onion rings as the other. The onion rings are not from the buffet - and are kinda a hidden choice - but seek them out - made to order, hot and crispy and worth it. This was a lot of food. The rolls deserve their own shoutout. I am fairly certain they are handmade (or gotten from a bakery daily) , and gloriously fluffy. My lunch was spectacular. Hubby went with the ribs and brisket plate with loaded potatoes, which were yum, and BBQ beans, which were just okay. To finish things off, they offer free vanilla soft serve ice cream. Do not "save room" for it, it is not amazing, but it is a nice little palate cleanser and a sweet way to end the meal. If you are looking for fancy vibes, this is not your spot... If you are looking for honest, satisfying barbecue that reminds you why Texas BBQ has a reputation in the first place, this one is absolutely worth a stop.

    For a restaurant with a sizable interior seating, the parking was atrocious. The paved parking on…read moreits side had sufficient space for four vehicles. May be five if all the vehicles were parked inches apart. Many vehicles parked behind the restaurant on gravel and grass. I chose the BBQ Pork Ribs Plate which came with four ribs. Once I got my meat, everything else was self-service. For sides, I chose the smoked beans and potato salad. Before leaving the area, I made sure to grab a dinner roll. The Point of Sale requesting a tip annoyed me due to the amount of self-service. The ribs were okay. There was not as much meat as I would have liked. Of the two sides, the smoked beans were my favorite. Its sauce provided plenty of flavor. The potato salad had a distinct dill aftertaste. The interior of the dinner roll was slightly warm, so it may have sat on the serving tray for a while. As with other barbecue spots, they offered free soft serve (vanilla). Frugal diners should forego the non-complimentary desserts. Unfortunately, the ice cream was softer than my preference. It's consistency similar to a very thick milkshake.

Suffice to say, it left a lasting impression on me, because here I am, almost a decade later. The atmosphere is everything a Texas BBQ joint should be, and having folks enter from the pit area was a stroke of genius. It really sets the expectation & mood. There's "decent" BBQ places here in Ohio, but there's no question Texas does it best, and Hard 8 is a true standout! (LOVE those charros!) This will be the 1st place I stop to eat if ever again I'm in the area. Honorable mention to Tyler's BBQ up in Amarillo if anyone gets out that way.

(Holy moo could he order any more food) and yeah I was stuffed and satisfied. Only complain is they didn't use topo Chico for the ranch water but a piggy eats whatever slop the farmer pours in the troph. Thanks hard eight. I'll be back.

    Immediately evident ownership change…read more Came in after a long absence of eating here for their amazing pulled pork and fat japs. Within 5 minutes and before I got to a table, I was telling my wife they must be under new ownership. Receiving the food and taking a bite prompted us to take to Google and confirmed it. I have never thrown away food at Fat Cow, however I threw away two orders of fat japs (minus two half eaten ones that the wife and took a single bite out of) and 2/3 of my brisket taco plate. Condiments bar was just brine in containers with no pickles, jalapenos etc, brisket was dry, bacon on fat japs was cold grease coated and sickly looking, meat inside jalapenos was like shredded jerky. Had never before walked out of there smelling like dirty barbecue before, but we definitely could smell it in our clothes the rest of the night. Definitely not the Fat Cow I grew up loving.

    Disapointment After Ownership Change…read more My family and I have been going to Fat Cow for several years. We loved the friendly atmosphere, excellent service and great food. We decided to try it after the new owners took over. While the atmosphere was still welcoming and friendly, we noticed some changes in the food that made me miss the old days. The sausage was a big letdown which looked like a shriveled up hot dog. The mac and cheese had no flavor and did not have enough sauce. The potato salad and coleslaw were not as good as they had been in the past. I hope the new owners can find a way to bring back the flavor and quality that st this place apart drom other BBQ restaurants.

I got a Pork Rib Plate $24.99 which comes with 1 side, I got the Fried Pickles which was $1.75 upcharge. I also got the large Boudin Balls $9.99 for 6 of them and 1 Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage Link $6.99. The pork ribs are delicious, good bark, tender with a good bite but clean pull from the bone, very tasty. The rib plate is essentially half a rack and their ribs are quite large. I really hated that they put the fried pickles under the half rack of ribs. They ended up being wet and soggy, very poor packaging choice. The Boudin Balls were delicious as usual. The jalapeno cheddar link had really good flavor and the cheese pockets were very tasty. The texture of the link itself was a little gritty though. They have awesome pork ribs and boudin balls, this is what keeps me coming back.
