Stopped into The District in Midlothian after a long afternoon of house shopping with my husband…read moreand sister because nothing fuels real estate decisions like hunger, dreams and hope. The place was fully booked, but the hostess saved the day and offered us lounge seating on the sofas. Honestly, it felt a little VIP...like we'd accidentally wandered into the cool kids' corner. I halfway considered putting on my sunglasses indoors just to commit to the moment, maybe even asking if they offered bottle service in the lounge. Within 10 minutes we were settled in and already getting excellent service. And as if the vibe wasn't good enough, there was a one‑man show crooning jazzy tunes in the background. He was smooth, talented, and added just the right soundtrack for an early dinner. Think "speakeasy energy," but suburban‑friendly. Now, the food. My husband ordered the Crunchy Pig sandwich, my sister went for the half rack of ribs, and I claimed the smoked turkey BLT. Everything hit the table about 20 minutes later, hot, fresh, and so lip‑smacking tasty that we inhaled every bite before remembering we meant to take pictures. My apologies to the food‑photo purists; trust me, the plates were camera‑ready before we destroyed them. If you find yourself wandering around The District in Midlothian, do yourself a righteous favor and grab a memorable meal here. Great food, great service, great music, and apparently great sofas.

Nothing special except the price, for what you get it's expensive. $15 before tip for a so-so plate of chips with chopped brisket and melted cheese (like the kind that comes out of a big can cheese) I won't eat here again, and I can't recommend it to anyone else.

Probably the most underrated bbq in the DFW area…read more I've never once had bbq or food from this place that would go under a 4 or 5 out of 5. The quality and the flavor are definitely there. In fact, we came out right after eating at Terry Blacks, and it's pretty comparable. If you were to ask which I'd go to if I had a first pick, then it would come down to what exactly I'm there for. With everyone else's ratings, I'm curious to know where they find better BBQ. List them y'all! Because, if they can, then it has to be something pretty amazing. I've been everywhere in DFW from Terry Blacks to Pecan Lodge to Lockharts and all the way to South Texas. So far, I've had the fried chicken, brisket, chopped brisket, jalapeño poppers, sausage, turkey, ham, ribs, baked beans, and Mac n cheese. I will say almost all of the food was a solid 4 or 5 out of 5! I know the menu and flavors have changed multiple times since I started eating at the Mansfield location, but they haven't committed any sins in my eyes. For instance, I've not really loved the ribs yet, but their chopped brisket, pulled pork, and ham really hit delicious. To me, once all the growth and transitions finish, it should be considered a top competitor for bbq in DFW area.

I've been a long time fan of Big D in Mansfield. I finally got a chance to come here and had a…read moregood time. We sat at the bar. Bartenders were attentive. I ordered the smoked old fashioned but something got lost in translation and I didn't get it smoked for some reason. If you ate at the location in Mansfield, the menu is similar but there are some changes. The Mac and cheese I thought was better in Mansfield with the sausage they add. This location has pulled pork and it was the best meat we had tonight. The sausage wasn't as good as I remember from Mansfield but still ok. The chopped brisket is always a good choice too. Glad to see this place with a bar in a good location.

If you're looking for BBQ that'll blow your guests away, PAPO-Q is it. The brisket was…read moreunreal--tender, smoky, and juicy enough to be the star of the whole spread (and honestly, the best brisket I've had in a long time). The ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, the chicken quarters were packed with flavor, and the sausage had that perfect snap. But I have to shout out the brisket elote--absolute game changer! Creamy, smoky, and so addictive that people were going back for seconds before finishing their first plate. The team showed up right on time, set everything up, and made it completely stress-free. Super friendly crew and food that had everyone asking, "Where did you get this from?!" If you need catering that's both delicious and memorable, you can't go wrong with PAPO-Q. Already planning my next excuse to order from them.

Very very very average. Maybe even a little below average…read more The location is pretty old and honestly looks a little run down. I still wanted to try it because it has pretty good reviews. I got the grilled chicken sandwich (maybe that was my mistake and I should have gotten a burger) and it was very disappointing. The sandwich was just a very plain and basic grilled chicken sandwich with American cheese (honestly it tasted like Kraft sliced cheese). I asked for pepper jack cheese and they said they didn't have it. I got a side of the fried pickles which were the best part about the meal but it was mostly just breading as the pickles were so thin you could barely taste them. The ranch tasted very tangy like store bought ranch. Just overall not impressed wouldn't go back BUT I was able to get through the meal so it wasn't like so awful I couldn't eat it. It was just not worth spending my money on.
