My uncle saw this place had an ayce option and we decided to pop on in an hour before close. The place was empty, but I still took a chance on it. With the AYCE, you order from the front counter and they bring it out for you. When we went, they were out of sausages, ribs and baked potato's, which was expected, but disappointing. The brisket was pretty tough, the pulled pork tasted watered down almost, and the hot links just seemed like cold hot dogs tbh, not very good. The better meat option i tried was the chopped brisket, it felt more moist with more flavor. However the sides were a bit better; coleslaw was watery but still tasted okay. I didn't even wanna touch the corn and green beans after i tried them, not good at all. The mac and cheese was just a classic mac, nothing crazy, and same for the fries and fried okra; they were at least fresh out fryer tho. The zesty mac salad was probably my favorite, it had a nice spice to it and tasted pretty unique. The only desert included with the AYCE was their banana pudding and again wasn't very impressing. You can tell it was just made with banana pudding mix and tasted artificial. The service here was great tho, and the workers were very nice so that brings up my score. I would say it's a good experience to go with some family, but definitely not up there in terms of quality. read more

We've been customers of chasing tails for a few years with out incident however today that changed. My two adult children went in for two baked potatoes & a sandwich that we ordered over the phone yet the staff seemed like they saw two ghosts. This was the strangest encounter they've experienced. I don't think certain Americans are welcomed there anymore. read more

Chasin' Tail BBQ - The food was good as usual but we won't be back based on service. - Barbeque Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

my son and I stopped here a couple weeks ago and had lunch it wasn't bad but it wasn't all that good neither. The service was the best part of a little girl waiting on us was very sweet and helpful sure wish I would've took a picture before we ate. The place is very stark and the decor is non-existent could've been a lot warmer to look at when you first walk in but it wasn't not saying the food was bad but over priced for what you got. I don't think we'll be goingBack soon too many other good barbecues in the state of Texas then to repeat this one read more

the pulled pork sandwich was amazing- moist, tender and well-seasoned. Ill be back for sure. grear job!

Friendly staff, GREAT food, quick take out. Consistently tastes good too. We've been a couple of times and the sampler platter can feed my husband and me and our kids a little snack. Great meats and sides!! Hard to find a place that has both that are good. I really like the ribs and all the sides are great. Their sweet tea is delicious too! The outside has a cute pig for your kids to say hi too and the inside is that fun 50s/diner theme too. One of the first BBQ places we went to in DFW and would definitely go back!! read more

Chasin' Tail BBQ - Sampler platter: 3 meats- ribs, sausage, brisket or tri tip I can't remember but it was GOOD! - Barbeque Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

Stopped in for the first time on the way home from visiting family in Denton. It was worth the stop. Liked brisket , sausage and half chicken. I will be back. read more

Run, don't walk to Chasin' Tail. My review is just for the ribs but they are outstanding. The perfectly balanced smoke flavor is strong but not overpowering. And the rub has such great taste that you don't need sauce. They are that good. And the service is amazing. Since we were going late in the afternoon we called ahead and reserved our racks. No problem. I had to run for a flight so got them to go but it they have lots of good options for eating in with several nice casual tables. read more

Delish! I love the macaroni salad here!! I also love the Turkey! The baked potato! And the brisket!

So tasty! .. I feel like they should have a larger place for as great as they are !! Right now they are a hidden gem in Lake Dallas.. hope they stay around because for this area they can't be beat! read more

We live right down the road from this restaurant and have been waiting to try it. We ordered for take out and all was delicious. Had a few different meats and sides read more

Called in to go order for a rack of pork ribs. The ribs were meaty, juicy, tender and delicious! Well done!

Yall need to stop lying ..these ribs was horrible..they DRY NO SEASONING..When you cook ribs you have to keep them moist..here's a tip ...GET YOU A BOTTLE AND SPAY THEM EVERY 30 mins with Apple vinegar and water mix with some seasoning salt... read more

Friendly management and staff, the fried okra was just too good! Ambiance was so calm, not loud music or too much overstimulating noises. A couple of TVs to watch the game on snd the volume was not too much. 10/10 will come here again and bring friends and family. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon and ordered two of their two meat plates. I ordered sliced Brisket, hot links and baked beans with Cole slaw. Their plates come with a slice of toast and I will say unlike alot of places, their Bread was pretty yummy. The. Brisket was a bit dry but I just used some bbq sauce. I was pleased with the amount of hot link on the plate as it appeared to not just be one link. Their baked beans were good and the coleslaw was fresh. The Coleslaw was a bit bland but nothing some salt won't fix. It kind of reminded me of KFC coleslaw. I bet with a spicy bbq sauce the coleslaw would be a good contrast. My husband also ordered brisket but got his chopped. We both loved brisket and wanted to try it the different ways. Again bbq sauce to the rescue. The pulled pork would have been great on a Sandwich. His Mac and cheese was also pretty good as I kept stealing some bites when he wasnt looking. The potato salad was good as well. The atmosphere was like any other bbq joint and seemed family friendly and Clean. Overall we would come back and plan to next time we are in the area. read more

Chasin' Tail BBQ - Two meat plate:Brisket, hot Link, baked beans and coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

This was our first visit to Chasin Tail BBQ in Lake Dallas. We pass this several times a week and decided to see how good their Texas BBQ is. I ordered the two meat plate with chopped brisket and sausage. The plate also came with Texas toast and two sides which I got potato salad and green beans. The meat was very tender and the flavor of the smoked meat was evenly flavorful and smoked to perfection. The potato salad was store bought which was a let down for me because homemade sides really separates BBQ restaurants for others. If the sides we're homemade I would have gave a five star on this review. Other then this issue I plan for more visits in the future. The staff are nice and the restaurant is very clean. read more

OMG! We went to Texas, found some BBQ, rated it amazing! Simplicity is the name of the game for this place! Great food, homemade food done well. We had mouth watering, fall off the bones ribs, sliced pork sandwiches, cole slaw, fries and toast! How sweet is that! Prices were reasonable and cook made sure it was right. Another go to place for when I go to Texas.... read more

Employees are friendly and helpful. The dinning area was clean and quiet. Nothing fancy, just decent food in a quiet atmosphere.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!! The food is sooooooo great, especially the brisket that feels like heavenly butter in your mouth and the spicy jalapeño sausage. I would have taken a photo of the food but it smelled so good that I couldn't resist eating it all almost as quickly as it came. After all, the service was great at getting your food ready quickly. The ambiance was nice, sort of like your average bbq restaurant. I was surprised to see how my family and I were the only people at the restaurant because the food was truly delicious! I really can't wait to come back again!!!! read more

Not small but for sure smaller town surrounded by big ones. Always a good feeling to be back on this side of the lake. Not the best I have ever had but for how little you pay... it's a BIGGG deal. Solid place! There is a reason they have been around so long. read more

First time here. Ribs, Jalapeno Sausage, Turkey, Brisket all off the hook. Sauce great taste. As friendly and nice service as you will have ANYWHERE. Nice clean lobby. Highly recommended, great local BBQ. If you are picky and like Great BBQ you must add this to your list of dining options. read more

I ordered a pound of chop beef, pound of sliced beef, and a pound of jalapeño sausage and I could not be happier with my choices. I also got a side of green beans and a side of pinto beans those two are yummy. The place was very clean and the staff was extra friendly. It was my first time there but I will be back. Looks like a mom and pop shop and during this time in 2020 they could use the business. Give them a try and take a picture with the giant pig. read more

Excellent bbq. Fast and delicious! Pull off the highway and enjoy! Nothing to chance here. Great tea, two ways! Ribs are fantastic and the brisket is so moist didn't need the sauce ( two ways) as a result. The single meat is half pound! inducing! Enjoy! read more

Brisket was absolutely the best I've had. Moist, fall apart and perfect smoke flavor Ribs are excellent.

We had ribs and sliced brisket, potato salad, Mac n cheese and all were homemade deliciousness. I usually tolerate the men and their bbq indulgences, but this time .... Yum! The potato salad was just balanced with the salt, sour, mustard zingy freshness. It was made by someone who gives a crap. Mac n cheese. No soggy elbow noodles with a gummy cheese product. This also was freshly made with care. I've NEVER liked Mac n cheese outside of home. The brisket was perfectly smoked and sliced. Just enough fat and a taste of the end piece. Mmmmm The ribs were flavorful, fall off the bone without actually falling off the bone so you got to have that "rib" experience. We all preferred the spicy sauce and wish we had gotten extra. Did I mention this bbq place is better AND CHEAPER THAN Any bbq I've had outside of Austin tx. read more

Very good barbeque. I was there at lunch time on Friday and there were plenty of places to sit and it was relaxed and quiet. The smoke aroma hits you when you walk in and it gives you that assurance that this is real BBQ and not broil-b-q . You order at the counter and help yourself to a table. A few minutes later they bring out your food. They have daily specials. Today the special was a sandwich plus side plus drink. The menu has a wide variety of meats and especially sides. They have a ton of side choices which I really appreciate because a lot of BBQ places are limited to beans, slaw, and potato salad. This place has corn, okra, sauteed cabbage, pinto beans, green beans, and more. The food we ordered: Pulled Pork sandwich. This is my standard rate-the-place order when I want to gauge a BBQ place. I am happy to say that this pulled pork sandwich was top-notch. The pork was very tender and not overly sauced or overly seasoned so you actually had that nice natural pork flavor. It can heaped on a pretty large white burger bun. Sliced Smoked Turkey. This was great. The outter edges had a nice color from the smoker and I could definitely taste that great smoke flavor. The turkey was very tender without being soggy. It was great - some of the best smoked turkey I've had. Side of Fried Cabbage. They call it fried cabbage but it seems more like boiled cabbage. It was REALLY good. It had small bits of bacon or ham in it. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and it was in a very flavorful broth with a good amount of seasoning. I'm definitely adding this to my regular order. Side of Green Beans. I was really happy to see this on the menu and I am happy that I ordered it. The green beans are the flat, Italian-style and they are cooked Southern-style with a broth and seasoning. They were very flavorful and very soft. Top-notch. It is also worth mentioning a few more bonuses: - They have self-serve fountain drinks (including Coke Zero) and sweet & unsweet iced tea. Some BBQ places only serve canned or bottle beverages so the self-serve fountain is great if you like refills. - They have a self-serve condiment tray of onions, pickles, jalapeños , and various sauces. This might be my favorite BBQ place in the Denton area considering the quality of the food plus the relaxed dining area. Give it a try! read more

Chasin' Tail provided the barbecue for our family reunion of 50. It was a great experience from start to finish. Ordering was quick and easy, The staff opened early so I could pick up the food in time for the lunch. Everything we ordered, plus some extras, were loaded into our car and we got raves about the food throughout the day. The BBQ chicken was particularly noted, great flavor and still moist. read more

This place really never gets old. I've been continuously trying other BBQ places here and there, and I find myself returning to Chasin' Tail exclusively. I truly think it is top-tier and their moist brisket is the definition of fall-apart tender and my opinion of it has increased since the last time I visited and I would elevate them as among the best in the DFW area. Just as impressive as the food is the great service you get her, warm and cordial and always attentive. There's not a bad item on the entire menu. read more

Great barbecue and good sides. The staff is somewhat lacking in customer service and personality and could use some help being friendly and personable. Beverages are the usual fare but they do not have lemons for the iced tea. That was a shame. The barbecue sauce was great by the way. read more

You know it's a trustworthy BBQ joint when the other customers are several members of local law enforcement! They have ham! 14 year old who dislikes every other kind of meat at a BBQ joint has something to eat. Hallelujah! I had the 1-meat plate, sliced brisket, fried cabbage and green beans. Both were prepared with bacon and onions. Is there any other way?! And they have Coke Zero. Decor not fancy, but very clean. Clean restrooms. The nearby construction almost kept us from stopping in. Glad we persevered! read more

My wife and I were heading to a movie and yelped for bbq. Saw this highly rated and dropped in. It's not fancy but the food was really good. I had the turkey sandwich with spicy sauce and Mac and cheese. It was so good I'm writin about it!i heard about Kobe shortly after? Heavenly bbq! read more

I am not the best person to be rating bbq joints because I don't eat red meat (I know I know I hear it from my husband and kid all the time but it doesn't feel good trying to digest it, trust me!). BUT that being said their turkey is delicious!! A combo of a perfect smoky flavor and juicy tenderness, it melts in my mouth and makes me super happy. Not all bbq joints carry turkey so I am grateful that they do and that they do it well! While I love their turkey, their spicy bbq sauce is some of the best I've ever had. It should be bottled it's so good!! read more

Chasin' Tail BBQ - Great little cup - Barbeque Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

Wow. Probably the best BBQ I have had outside of Austin. Pulled pork and ribs are absolutely the stars of the show. Potato salad has a whipped component and a chunky component with nice amounts of pickle. Brisket is fine, but the sauce is truly fantastic. $23 all you can eat. What a place. read more

I am Texan born and raised and not easily impressed with BBQ restaurants today. But I had a chance to go by Chasin Tail in Lake Dallas, TX, today. I asked for suggestions and was told that the Brisket, pulled pork and ribs were popular. I chose the brisket. Wow, I have not had this kind of Brisket since I left the Hill Country in Texas. It had just the right amount of smoke and tenderness. The BBQ sauce was great. Had the original. This is a distance from our home; but, my husband and I said we will return there for Brisket from now on. Great job, Chasin Tail. read more

This place is a HIDDEN GEM. Great smoked meats and lots of quality side options. Friendly service and clean restaurant. What's not to like ? My wife even likes it....she DEVOURED some leftover brisket I thought was SAFE in the fridge, and she is not really a BBQ person !! That's saying a LOT haha read more

I LOVE Chasin Tail! Like I LOVE LOVE it.The kids are sweet at checkout, the food is great and it's close to home. Why, then do you ask, did I only it 3 stars? Here's why: My favorite dish of their's is the loaded baked potato. It's huge, then they put all the good baked potato stuff on there and top it with barbecue!! OMG it's so good! My issue is it's all I eat here and they are frequently, like really frequently, are out of potatoes. I pop my head in to look at the board and leave if they are out. The fact that I've done this multiple times says something to me. You really need to find a new supplier or the purchaser needs to be retrained. If you sell out of them, order more. I would love to come here more and support small business in our area but you have to have the food that makes you great on hand! read more

Best place to get BBQ at great prices! Ribs, brisket & pulled pork are my top fav. The sides are all amazing and they're always super fast while making sure everything is still hot & fresh. You definitely gotta try this place! But seriously, if you compare prices (other than Dickey's which is a chain restaurant and also YUCK) to other BBQ restaurants, it's 100% reasonably priced for BBQ if not cheaper than most! read more

This spot will not let you down! Better than most BBQ spots. I had the pulled pork and Ribs. Good friendly service, a nice clean restroom and all tables were clean. This is a no frills, good BBQ joint. You can't go wrong with what you order here. The ribs were cooked perfectly, real smoky, but the rub was a just a tiny bit lacking to my taste. I prefer not putting sauce on my ribs to get enough flavor. Don't get me wrong, they were real good and I'd order 'em again if I'm ever around.... I don't typically care for ribs. The flavor on the pulled pork is amazing. Close to perfect in my opinion. The meat was moist, with great flavor. Didn't need sauce, but was enhanced by a little bit of sauce. However, the pork could have been just a tad bit more tender. Great job! All in all I had a great meal here and I would go back if I'm ever in the area again. This place will not let you down. Oh yeah- the banana pudding is dadgum good! read more

I would go to this location everyday if I could! They have this huge loaded baked potatoes with the option of also topping it off with your choice of meat! I always get the shredded pork (which I highly recommend haha). Their hot bbq sauce is to die for and just brings everything together. I definitely recommend this place! read more
