The prices are great, especially for the quality of food you get, and the customer service really stands out. They are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant itself is clean and well organized, which always makes the experience more enjoyable. Even during a busy time, my food came out quickly, so I never felt like I was waiting around. Overall, it is a solid choice if you are looking for a reliable, tasty lunch spot with a welcoming atmosphere.

Chicken-fried brisket is the star of the show here, and it's every bit as legendary as the hype…read moresuggests. I went specifically for their signature dish (the one they proudly call themselves the "Home of the Chicken Fried Brisket"), and it delivered exactly what everyone raves about. They take a thick, oak-smoked brisket slice--already juicy, tender, and loaded with smoky flavor and perfect bark--then coat it in a craft-beer batter and fry it up. The crust comes out shatter-crisp and golden, never greasy or soggy, while the brisket inside stays beefy and moist. That peppery burnt-end gravy poured over the top is rich, savory, and ties everything together beautifully with a scoop of skin-on mashed potatoes on the side. It's pure Texas comfort food genius--smoky BBQ meets Southern fried steak in the best possible way. I'd order it again in a heartbeat (it's a Tuesday special or weekend brunch treat, so plan accordingly). The rest of the BBQ holds up just as strong. Their regular brisket (flat and point) is consistently juicy, tender, and smoky with that killer bark everyone mentions. Sides and other meats are solid too--no weak links. The house beers are fantastic and pair perfectly with the rich, smoky food (the rustic, woodsy vibe in the historic downtown Garland spot makes it even better for lingering over a pint). Service is friendly and the whole place just feels welcoming. If you're in Garland or nearby and love bold Texas BBQ with a creative twist, Intrinsic is a must. The chicken-fried brisket alone is worth the trip--don't sleep on it! Highly recommend for anyone who wants great smoked meats, great beer, and something uniquely delicious

This place was great. You walk in and head to the back for the food. They have the full spread you…read morewould expect from a craft bbq place. We ordered a half pound of fatty brisket and a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. It had a nice smoke but it was pretty mild for my taste. I liked the bbq sauce in the packets. I took some home for some bbq beans. The Mac and cheese was pretty good. It was thick and well seasoned. Really good for a cafeteria style serving. I like this place. I could see it in my rotation for bbq locally.

This restaurant, located in a nondescript strip mall in Garland off NW Hwy, is truly a hidden gem…read more The ambience is nothing to write home about, but the food is outstanding. The chef is obviously trained and talented. We went here for dinner on a Sunday because the kid wanted pasta. The menu actually is quite diverse with some Italian, Mexican, vegetarian, meat, burgers, and flatbread. Usually or often when a restaurant tries to do everything it ends up doing nothing well. That is not the case with the Italian that we had here. We started with a Caprese salad and it was pretty standard. The wife had lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly. Great sauce. The spinach and mashed potatoes were also perfect. I had chicken piccata. It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever had. Chicken was tender and the sauce was excellent. The grilled vegetables were cooked perfectly. We had fruit tart (excellent), cheesecake (excellent) and chocolate cake (excellent) for dessert. We want to come back. If the Mexican is as good as the Italian food, this place is an all-time winner.

The good: servers were super nice and we were able to get enough tables added to one of the long strips to fit about 20 folks altogether. We never wanted for anything, and their biscuits were delicious with honey. I also enjoyed the chicken fried steak quite a bit, especially with gravy drizzled over, and the portions for entrees were huge. The mediocre: obviously the business model is generous with sides but it's clear most of them are canned/not made from scratch. Creamed corn was pretty runny but still one of the tastier options. Green beans were quite mushy, and the beans were super watery as well. Conversely the mashed potatoes were SUPER thick and therefore hard to eat a lot of, even when mixed with the gravy. Others mentioned that the fried chicken was pretty salty. My husband was able to finish off the chicken fried steak I had leftover when I brought it home, which was nice. $25-ish after tax and tip to feed two adults is pretty good in this economy.
