Dave's BBQ menu
Sean V.

I can't really add much to what the previous reviewers have commented on. I've been coming here for a few months now and really like it a lot!! I'm giving Dave's a solid 4 stars!! I would love to give them 5 stars but some very minor personal preferences prevent me from granting the 5th such as: 1) Unless you ask for sauce on the side, all of your meat will be soaked in sauce. I personally like to taste the meat and not so much the sauce. 2) No pulled pork only chopped or sliced. Even though the pork at Dave's is excellent... I miss the texture and flavor of pulled smoked pork shoulder. 3) Maybe other wood smoke varieties.... hickory, pecan, apple wood etc.etc. 4) A few times now my order was incorrect... beans instead of mac 'n cheese, pork chop instead of chopped pork.... no sauce at all when I asked for it on the side... like twice! As I said before.. these are just my personal preferences and in no way derive from how good this place is already just as it is! A few minor tweaks here and there and this place is a 5 star in my book. But until then.. a solid 4 stars for great tasing BBQ!

I would have to say that I was not impressed with the food. It lacked seasoning and the meat was slightly too dry for my liking. I ordered chicken/chopped beef with sweet potatoes and green beans. I liked the sweet potatoes more than I liked the main course itself. The sauce did not have a distinctive flavor profile and it was not a standout for me. The service when u ordered was better than the food. I like the bar-b-q self serve bar at the Whole Foods way better. "Can I regurgitate the food and ask for a refund?" Basically, I will not be back.

Chopped beef baked potato sauce on the side no sour cream
Krystal M.

Let me start off by saying I'm sooooooooo indecisive it takes me forever to order!! I went with the stuffed baked potato chopped beef awesome I ordered a side of greens they where ok. We went around 4 on a Sunday no mac and cheese no ribs no regular sausage. The spicy sausage was hot but the after taste was amazing, which is made in house. The bbq sausage was sweet and tangy the way I like (thick). I ordered a peach cobbler and didn't get it. That where also out of cake. I tried a sample of the chicken while I was there it was juicy good taste.

Loaded baked potato with chopped beef
Angie T.

Best loaded baked potato!!! You can call in and just pick it up, prices are great, and their bbq sauce is perfect!!

Two meat: beef and chicken
Benjamin W.

Was in town for a conference and the uber driver said I must go here for the loaded potato! Since I was on the way to pick up a rental car, first stop was to this gem of a place. I pulled up to see the kind of crowd this place drew in. Well to my surprise a very diverse flow of traffic supported the BBQ. If you are like me and always want what each city you visit has to offer go here. I got my food to go.

3 meat potato with turkey, chopped beef, and links. I didn't finish. I was disappointed in myself
Regina B.

Oh my goodness!!! My experience started with the great customer service I recvd when I called in my order. I ordered the 3 meat baked potato with turkey, chopped beef, and links. My only disappointment was I couldn't shovel it in my face fast enuf. I have a new potatoe spot!!

My first Texas BBQ and it did not disappoint! We got there at 12:30pm on a Saturday and was…read morepleasantly surprised that the wait was very short (maybe only 10 min). The line is super fast and efficient. We got the small family meal, which comes with 3 lbs of meat (you can mix multiple meats as you like) and 5 sides. And got a few other items on the side. We got brisket, sausage (both kinds), pork ribs, burnt ends, and 1 beef rib. Everything was delicious. The brisket was our favorite. For side, we got Mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, beans, and coleslaw. Potato salad was our favorite! They've got self serve toast and bbq sauces are in the coolers. Overall an amazing experience. I would love to come back the next time I'm in the state.

Beef Ribs: These were the star of the show. They were incredibly tender, melting off the bone with deep, complex flavors that set a high bar for BBQ. Brisket: While still high-quality, I found the brisket in Austin to have better meat to fat ratio. The Dallas version was good, but it didn't quite hit the same heights as the Austin achieved earlier in our trip. Even with the slight variation in the brisket, Terry Black's remains a standout. The combination of fantastic beef ribs, a great vibe, and reliable service makes it a must-visit. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

To that one guy in the reviews who said that "the trough" will require at least 4 grown men, he was correct. I think this is a good amount for 4 men (without feeling absolutely disgusted from all this fatty deliciousness). The trough comes with 1 pound of brisket (5ish), 1 pound of beef ribs, 1 pound of pork ribs (5ish), 1/2 pound of pulled pork, 2 hand made sausage links, and 2 sides along with raw onions and pickles. The brisket is so good. Melt in your mouth. Make sure you get to try some of the leaner and fatty portions of it. The beef ribs are also perfect. It was Smokey, fatty, and fall off the bone just by touching it. I also very much enjoyed the sausages. The jalapeño cheddar and the maverick sausage (hatch chilis, cilantro, and queso Oxana, amazing) were so good. The Mac and cheese and collared greens were very good. Did not get the try the other sides. The bbq sauce was also very tangy and the brisket sauce? (I think?) is also a little acidic and a perfect pairing. There is an indoors eating area (AC blasting), but also an outside area with benches. The service is great and fast

After getting inside I could tell why. The BBQ smell hits you as you open the door and it smelled sooooo good. They had a giant menu written onto the wall. Some of the meats were sold out. We debated for a bit and then decided to do a group order. Our Group of 7 people ordered the Cattleleack Platter and sides of burnt end beans, potato salad, cole slaw, and Mac and cheese. Oh and don't forget to ask for cornbread too. Inside tey had large tables and benches to sit at and we secured our spot. The food was delicous. The Beef Rib was huge and melted in my mouth. The brisket was amazing and seasoned well. Everything tasted great. Everyone ate til they were full and we still had leftovers. I ate them later at night and they were still good. This place is pricey, definitely worth a visit.

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!)

Super tender, full of flavor, and exactly what you want from Texas BBQ. The ribs were just as good, fall-off-the-bone and well seasoned. The pulled pork was also really solid. I added BBQ sauce, but honestly it didn't even need it. For sides, definitely get the spicy mac and cheese, baked beans, and potato salad. All of them were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. This is easily a spot I'd come back to next time I'm in Dallas.

I follow the chef/owner on Instagram (@kafibbq), and the amount of effort and detail he puts into his craft has resulted in multiple return visits for me. This review is for my latest visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kafi BBQ can be found in a shopping strip in Irving-Valley Ranch. Only opened Friday - Sunday, on my most recent Sunday visit around dinner time, Kafi was packed. The patrons were a great mix of families, BBQ lovers, and those looking for high quality Halal meats. Smoke was in the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is super friendly and nice. Pro Tip - Go for lunch or before 6 before items are sold out. A few items were sold out on my most recent visit (my fault I arrived at 6:45) and the staff weren't aware of what was available, leading to some confusion, but they were so nice it didn't impact my meal. 1 Star. Food - By now, you've probably read or heard about Kafi's Wagyu Brisket. For me, I love following @kafibbq on Instagram so I can see what Salahodeen is cooking up. On this visit, it was the Brisket Sandwich. First off, the house baked bread roll is soft, but firm enough to hold Kafi's famous brisket on a pile of home made cole slaw and pickles. The result was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've eaten. The bite was soft, smokey, crunchy, and tart (from the pickles). It was a special, and I'm not sure if Kafi will keep this on the menu, but I hope they do. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's pricey, but it's worth it. While the brisket is great, I suggest you follow them on Instagram to see what's cooking and plan your visit around the specialty items. 1 Star.
