I choose this place over risckys anytime brisket is really good bbq sauce is even better and I'm not a bbq sauce fan of most but this one here is really good in my opinion and it's a 10 min drive from home and has they have drive thru! A must try! read more

This is one of my quick lunch spots. I live and work right around the corner so when we are in the need for some barbecue but aren't wanting to drive, here is where we end up. I usually always get the baked potato loaded with brisket. Drizzle some barbecue sauce all over it and it's easily the best thing on the menu. It's huge. The meat and barbecue sauce just usually lack the flavor. Every time I go, I end up having to put salt on everything. And I'm not one to ever use salt. If you ever find yourself ordering the barbecue sandwich, you're going to end up with the soggiest bottom bun ever. There's way too much juice from the meat and you can't hold the sandwich together. I have gone up there and asked for a whole new bun because mine was completely soaked with juice before I even put barbecue sauce on. It's like the bun get soaked in water. Disgusting. I've started warning people that I go there with to not get the sandwich because it happens every time. read more

See all

The ribs are tasty and the chicken is super delicious. The beans and mac & cheese are really good too. Not a big fan of the green beans. They taste a bit waterlogged. I haven't tried the salad but that's on my list. Enjoy read more

Our drive through server, Isabella, was extremely nice and polite! Food is decent and I come occasionally. Very impressed and satisfied by the service overall. read more

Blue plate lunch special.....its a perfect option to sample out the goods at Colter's without breaking your belt in one sitting. I thoroughly enjoyed the pork ribs as the meat easily pulled off the bone. Soooo good! Super stoked to beat the lunch crowd as I devoured my food (at the joint around 2pm). I didn't have a chance to taste the roasted chicken but heard from many how succulent it is and hopefully find my way back to Arlington to try in out in the very near future. Don't forget the warm bread to finish off your plate. Delish! read more

Colters is my favorite BBQ. Lean and flavorful brisket, sausage and turkey. The sides are always good. Love love love the grilled chicken Caesar salad! Warm apple cobbler is the best! They are my go-to place for catering often and I am confident we will get great food and great service for a reasonable price. Our meeting attendees always very impressed with the Texas BBQ from Colters! Thank you! read more

Always consistently good!!!! Love onion rings and lifter brisket sandwich. I do not understand why this website tries to tell me how much or WHAT I should say in my review. Colters on their website talks about needing reviews from Colters patrons/customers because of Yelp limiting the posting of the reviews. It is frustrating Yelp saying my post isn't long enough and asking if I am a REAL person. Believe me I love Colter's. I know there are people out there who don't care much for chain restaurants BUT I like Colters!!! I like their brisket, ribs, turkey, and especially the onion rings/baked potatoes. The Arlington location is my favorite. Only suggestion is for fresh unsweetened tea which most of the time is old both in drive through and inside. I don't sweeten my tea in any form which for me is why fresh tea is crucial! read more

Food was eh... wouldn't recommend and there were fruit flies all over the place on my food, gross! Particularly the brisket and fries were both bland and old and sitting out for a while. Won't come back but very friendly staff and good atmosphere. 2/5 stars read more

Colter's Texas BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Not my favorite BBQ brisket sandwich as the sesame seed bun is generic and the meet wasn't moist. But its so close to the house it's my quick BBQ fix. I didn't get any ribs but saw them and they are really big. That seems to be the way to go. Sides are about the same as Dickeys if you don't know Colters. Potato salad is mustard based and cubed potatoes which I like. Decent beans although they need some bacon or jalapeños. Sauces are good and they have 3 kinds. Service is very good and they keep the place nice and clean. read more

Colter's Texas BBQ - Nice decor and country music playin in the background with music videos on TVs. - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Really good BBQ!!! The ribs are always great & so is the sausage. The chicken is really juicy as well! The brisket can be hit or miss, but the sides are always good. They will always give you hot rolls on request! read more

I attended a meeting today that was catered by Colter's in Arlington. It was the best bbq I have had from a restaurant, and the peach cobbler was amazing! read more

Picked up bbq last night. The ribs were not seasoned at all and they were undercooked! I had to cook them in the oven AND season them myself. The sauce was not flavorful, and was watered-down. Won't be going back. read more

Went to Colter's today and got two meat dinner (sausage and brisket)with slaw and Mac and cheese. The brisket was thin and lacked flavor, the sausage was droopy and average. The slaw was brownish and lukewarm, also lacking flavor. Finally, the Mac and cheese. Watery, soft and very little flavor as well. Definitely not worth the ridiculous price. read more

This is a wonderful place to eat. If you choose to dine in the staff is very friendly- take out is good too. Great smoked taste, tender, lots of sides to choose from and the serving sizes are generous. The smoked turkey and sausage are my favorites, but the baby back ribs are delicious too. Whatever you choose you won't be disappointed. And don't forget the banana pudding-GREAT Linda R read more

While visiting the parents over X-mas '09, we decided we were all tired of preparing meals and cleaning it up. My Dad decided on BBQ for the night and we wound up at Colter's. This joint is very casual and has no waiters or waitresses. You order cafeteria style and receive your order immediately (very gratifying). I had all-u-can eat BBQ and sampled most everything on the menu, here's the rundown: Brisket: Frigg'in awesome Pulled Pork: Deiliciously smoked and juicy Chicken: Smoked, kinda dry Pork Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone and succulent (sp?) Turkey: Very good Ham: 8 out of 10 Sausage: As good as BBQ sasage gets The sides are all so-so, but you don't go to a BBQ place for sides, right? There are televisios with sports, but don't expect HD flatscreens or anything. Overall it's just what I'd expect for Texas BBQ read more

Tonight we went through the drive through on the way home from a long day. When we got back to the house we realized that there was no barbecue sauce on any of our food and none in the bag. I know everyone makes mistakes and things like this happen but the sauce is the most important part! I called up to the store to complain expecting a pat answer of come back and we will give you a coupon or something. To my absolute surprise he asked me for my address and personally drove my sauce to my house and even threw in a couple of desserts. It made my day! We will definitely be back!!! read more

Great place, good food, quick service. My kinda place for lunch. I've been to one of their catered events as well and it was loaded with all kinds of great food. If you love bar b que, you'll like colters. Rhett read more

Not a bad BBQ place. Set up like Spring Creek, but they don't have the fresh hot rolls brought around which is kind of a bummer. The atmosphere is casual which is nice. The BBQ ribs are good. And the apple cobbler was amazing! read more

Colter's Texas BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

We have been getting food from Colter's for a while and its always been good. Today they showed us they are a restaurant that cares about their patrons. We picked up our order this afternoon and there was an issue with one thing missing from the order. Colter's went above and beyond to make it right and more. They greeted us with a smile when we came to pick up the missing item and added a few extra items as a "sorry". AND the food was delicious and served hot. Thank you Colters for being a business I am happy to keep coming back to!!! read more

We love Colter's BBQ.!! Their brisket is my favorite!! I love the selections of their sides too! Always clean and very friendly. We highly recommend Colter's. read more

Went on the last day of a road trip to Arlington. I ordered the 3 meat plate with chicken, ribs, brisket, green beans, and mac n cheese. Everything was fantastic. The "hot" sauce was not that bad. The regular was too much ketchup/vinegar based for me to enjoy. Topped it off with a slice of pecan pie and left overstuffed! read more

Today was our first time after living in the area for three years eating at this barbecue restaurant we took takeout and we ordered the special it was 25 bucks for a family my husband ordered the chicken it was dry I told my husband his chicken is much better he makes it in the convection oven with that said we won't be eating there again. The reviews for this restaurant weren't that great if I would've read them I would have kept hubby from going to Coulters BBQ read more

This is a great place for a quick BBQ launch. It's a bit expensive for what you get but tastes great. Tater salad, coleslaw and BBQ, what else does a man need? read more

Colter's Texas BBQ - The atmosphere here is Texas all the way. - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Why would you go here when there are places like Spring Creek, David's, Main Street and your own back yard. I did because I figure it's close to where I was at the time, and I wasted my time and money.... read more

The absolute best BBQ ever. I have tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. The cheese burgers are to die for, you have to try them you won't regret it. My family and I are truly in love with this place, we have been coming here for years and will certainly continue. read more

The brisket was tough and my wife's chicken breast was bad.

Looking for some barbecue on a Sunday night and the only place opened was Colter's. A little concerned about some of the reviews but didn't have any problems. We had ribs, brisket, sausage, chicken and pulled pork and it was all good. Nice selection of sauce, baked beans and rolls were nice, too. Not the best BBQ I ever had but a nice solid meal. read more

Had never been to a Colters BBQ until today. The service was great, the people were friendly, but the food.... this is probably the worst BBQ I've ever had. The food was bland, the brisket was dry, the options were slim. Colters is BBQ like Taco Bell is Mexican food. If you don't know what barbecue is, this is the place for you. read more

Colter's Texas BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Very good BBQ especially the baby back ribs, onion rings, banana pudding, but all very good! Nice for dine in or take out!

Love the food!! Best brisket and sausage. I can't say enough also about their Cesar salad, it's ridiculously amazing. If you haven't tried Colter's you're missing out! read more

This is by far my favorite place for barbecue. I get baby back ribs and sausage at least once a week or more. Colter's is our go-to for backyard pool parties as the food and service is always the Best! Oh, yeah, the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and Banana Pudding are to die for! read more

This BBQ is delicious. Food is always fresh, flavorful and plentiful. The desserts are DEVINE. The banana pudding is the best around. The staff is so friendly. Oh did I mention the decor is so cute and "Texas" themed. Can accommodate large parties. I've used them for catering too. Just as good. read more

We love Coulter's BBQ. Their BBQ and baked Turkey are the best. If you want a great ham at Easter or Thanksgiving, Coulter's is the place to go. If you need a great, dependable place to cater your special occasions, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. No one can beat their great food and expertise at catering a large crowd with ease. They have catered at my place of employment many times and have never disappointed. Everyone loves them. read more

I remember a long time ago when Colters was a decent restaurant. I love good barbecue, but can honestly say my meal at the Arlington Colters was probably one of the worst I've had in ages. At the center of the disaster was the brisket, a flavorless slab of meat the was only made edible via extremely thin slices and over sugared sauce. Even the sausage seemed less savory. And while the staff was pleasant and personable, an order of fries wasn't even begun until ten minutes after we had sat down and begun our meal... And I'd gone to complain. In summary, do your self a favor. Hit up Dickies, or better yet, Rudy's. This Colters is now in the same league as Denny's, IHOP, and Ruby's Cafeteria, surviving on baby boomers who can't taste the difference in quality. read more

I read reviews before I went but decided to try it anyways. We ordered the brisket plate and Rib plate. The Brisket was blan and had no flavors the ribs were decent. The sides were green beans and Mac and cheese. The green beans were good but the Mac&Cheese was watery, and needed seasoning, I probably will not return I will just stick to dickeys. read more

Basic Texan barbeque, with large portions. It's served cafeteria style, but a waiter refills drinks. The decor is country and comfortable. They were very patient when my group stayed late talking and didn't realize that it was way past closing time. ;) read more

Average bbq. The worse service I've experience in years. The young girl working on Mothers day around 5pm was rude, had a terrible attitude and was a poor choice to put on the front line. read more

I love Colter's BBQ! Every time I come in, whether it's alone or with family, it's always a great experience. The staff is very friendly and the food is great. My favorites are the baby back ribs, smoked turkey and of course you can't go wrong with their brisket. Their sides are also really good, tho the potato salad is not my favorite, but you have plenty of other options like their baked potatoes and their onion rings, which are my absolute favorite! Right away you can tell that they're made fresh and don't come in frozen. Check this place out, if you prefer brisket that's not so lean make sure you request for fatty or lifter, and make sure you try all 3 of their options for bbq sauce, their honey bbq is delish! read more

Worst bbq I've ever had. We live about 50 minutes away and my wife picked up a family meal on her way home from work. Upon inspection of the food when we got home I found the driest brisket I had ever had. They also sliced it so thin that it was thinner than lunch meat. I'm guessing to make it tear more easy. Rolls were literally hard as a rock. We called the manager and he only offered a 20% discount which is nothing. I just paid 40 dollars for terrible food and now you want me to come buy more for barely a discount. Don't wast your time here. read more

If their was a no star that's what I would give this place , the staff is very rude , extra small portions looks like a child's plate . I have came here 6 other times and it's the same , complained to manager for the employee picking the food up with his bare hands on the sauce and relish bar , manager said no one has touched it (after it has touched the bar) so no more for me read more
