I've been in search of the best BBQ around and proud to point out places that know what they're doing even if it's not perfect. Well I'm impressed with this place. Ribs looked picture perfect, cooked perfectly, tender as can be, just needed some seasoning, more flavor. The brisket was awesome, cooked perfectly, perfect smoke ring, perfect texture, tender and great moisture and flavor. Jalapeño cheese sausage, awesome turkey. Great sides, excellent sweet potato fries, the best Mac and cheese at any bbq place. Fried okra is just ok. Great bbq sauce and the hope is you actually won't need it but want it because it good. Well I needed it for the ribs. I'm not sure what the exact story is with the check for Chris Kyles family but Chris was from this area and went to this school. They have a small tribute to him. A great addition to a great BBQ place

Two meat plate

Came here on a recommendation from a coworker, we arrived for lunch on a Sunday, to find out they're only open from 11am to 2pm on Sunday. We were seated promptly, the place was 80% full. The place is nicely decorated Texas cowboy style. We started with the fried pickles, they were served on a bed of lettuce (first time I seen this) it absorbs the oil, so it's a big plus, in addition, they are very lightly coated with breading, which was an additional plus. I ordered the two meat plate (sliced brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage) with green beans and potato salad. My spouse got one meat (pork ribs) with cole slaw and sweet potato fries. The ribs were tender and meaty, nicely smoked. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was good, kudos for the choice of sausage. The brisket was dry, sadly I came here for the brisket, it needed a lot of bbq sauce. The potato salad was somewhere between potato salad and mashed potatoes, less chunky potato, more like whipped potatoes, maybe the potato was a little over cooked. The green beans were plain, found one tiny piece of meat in the whole serving, maybe brisket, maybe bacon, I couldn't tell. The cole slaw was very good, not overly sweet, crunchy slaw, enjoyed it, licked the bowl. The sweet potato fries were perfect, not overly oily, salty or overly sweet (like most restaurants serve them). They were cooked nice and crispy, ate them all. The menu prices are just right. I couldn't give you 5 stars, because of the brisket, maybe it was too lean, maybe been out of the smoker too long. One suggestion for the owner: The bbq sauce on the table is good and tasty, not overpowering, but what was missing was a spicy choice of sauce, we needed a little kick. We will be back

Good BBQ. Sauce is spicy and just right in my opinion. The place can get loud, but it is worth it.

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.

Nothing wrong with the burger but the attitude of Ivie behind the register is atrocious. When…read morepaying she asked cash or card, I replied that I would be using a "debit card" and she rang it up as credit anyway. I tried to explain to Ivie that it was illegal to charge a credit card processing fee for debit cards. She cut me off mid sentence to condescendingly tell me that she just had one button to push on the register and that it wasn't her problem. When I tried to show her on my phone she cut me off again and assured me that she didn't give a damn. It's not a huge expense but at this point it's the principle. I want my $1.22 cents back and for Ivie to be severely reprimanded. I would also encourage everyone to pay attention to your receipt when dining at Branded Burger as it evidently is their company policy to train their employees to rip off their patrons. I want to emphasize how rude Ivie was, she has no business dealing with customers, not only did she cut me off, she didn't want to hear what I had to say and could have cared less about resolving the issue. Rules on Debit SurchargesNo Surcharges: Merchants cannot add a percentage-based or flat extra fee just for using a debit card at the point of sale.Credit vs. Debit: This ban applies whether you enter a PIN or run the debit card as a "credit" transaction without a PIN.
