There were six of us, and we picked everything from the smoker we could see. The barbecue was everything you hope Texas BBQ will be--beautifully smoked, incredibly tasty. The meat was tender with just and every bite reminded us why Texas has earned its legendary reputation. I know claiming one barbecue joint is better than the rest of Texas is a bold statement, but after this meal, I'm willing to make it. Texas may set the gold standard for barbecue, and this place somehow manages to rise above it. If I'm back in Dallas, this will be one of my first stops. BB

I've never had BBQ this tasty, and it's on another level compared to the places I've gone to back home. I told the gentleman cooking that this was my first time, and he gave me tips on getting smaller portions so I could try more offerings. I'm glad I did because I wanted to focus on the meat! As I worked my way down the line, everyone was helpful with asking if I wanted bread, what deserts were worth trying, and closing the transaction. The workers who clean off the tables are also amazing. I was able to practice my Spanish with them. Thank you Hard Eight BBQ for making me feel welcome. I'll definitely come by again when I'm in town!

I asked the pitmaster for "the center of the point," and he smiled and he delivered perfectly fatty, smoke-kissed slices. What followed was exactly what great barbecue should be--smoke, smoke, smoke. The brisket was incredibly tender with a perfect bark and that clean, oak-driven flavor you expect from authentic Texas BBQ. The sides were just as impressive: the German sausage was flavorful and perfectly smoked, the creamed corn was rich and comforting, and the jalapeño bacon mac & cheese added a delicious kick. The atmosphere is simple and genuine--about 20 tables, service one guest at a time, plastic trays lined with butcher paper, a soda fountain, and country music playing in the background. The bearded pitmasters and spotless environment add to the authentic experience. This isn't a big chain, but rather a locally owned North Texas gem. If you're near DFW and craving true, slow-smoked barbecue, Meat U Anywhere BBQ is absolutely worth the visit.

You actually pick up a bowl and get your own sides except fries/okra. Those two items they will bring out to your table. Burnt ends are served on Mondays and Saturday so of course I chose burnt ends and two sides. It was a generous portion of meat and I selected okra and green beans. The burnt ends were covered in sauce, which was really good with just a touch of spice. The green beans were seasoned so well with some sort of pork. The okra was amazing! Lightly breaded spices were perfect really really tasty. The staff were pleasant. The music was at the right level and you could sing along to old country tunes. Plenty of space especially for large parties.

I tried the strawberry lemonade for the first time and it wasn't very good. It was tart and not sweet. On the half and half side of fries and onion rings they only give you two onion rings. That's not half and half. It's nice to be able to sit outside or inside. Overall it's a nice place to grab a quick lunch or dinner.

There was also a person handing out free taster frozen whiskey shooters. Pretty kid friendly. I brought my 2 and 4 year old to meet up with another family from out of town with young kids. A little loud during the World Cup, but seating was plentiful on a Thursday night and they had a few kid friendly food options (grilled cheese, pizza, quesadillas, chicken nuggets and fries). Parking was easy as there's a covered parking garage attached to the hotel and I think I only paid $1 for 2 hours of parking. There's also a small water splash pad outside for kids to run through and cool down on a hot summer day. Cool spot.

While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting
