On time, helped me to my car, always friendly and professional. Everyone at the party made several comments about the BBQ - it was the party favorite!

Meanwhile I was given looks by the 2 girls up front as if I was lying. They refunded me but that's 16 miles for this, i might as well went to soulmans for this hassle. Now it's almost an hour after my original order and I'm still waiting on a corn dog. I guess I'm done here after this, I always order for the family. I don't care for the food taste now since it's been an hour waiting and I still gotta drive home to cold food. Thanks. Edit: I paid for extra buns, they were useless when I got home. That's Stolen 2$ Baked potato was not finished and still chunky when attempted to mix everything. 8$ for undercooked potato. On top of all that, you will NOT get BBq sauce at all. I will not pay for it, ANY "bbq joint" worth their salt has bbq sauce, but not even 1 cup? I try to support local and I've been here more than a few times with family order each time. That's done for, I'm going to Soulmans from now on. Waste your time and money if you want, I'm gonna be smart.

I had been looking for a good BBQ spot in the Rowlett/Rockwall/ Garland area and this one was rated…read morehigh so we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed! It's a smaller place in downtown Garland and there are some tables to sit and eat at and we went around 7:30pm on a Friday night and it wasn't crowded at all. We were greeted as we walked in and since it was our first time I had some questions and they were very helpful. It's a little different than most BBQ places as you can often get a plate with one, two, or three meats and sides. Here, you order à la carte with the meats and pay the per pound price and the sides come in a small and large size priced accordingly. We ordered a pound of moist brisket, 1/2lb of ribs, a large Mac and cheese and small beans for 3 people. Everything was really delicious with the brisket having a nice smoke flavor and very tender and the ribs falling off the bone with some nice seasoning and very flavorful. For the sides the Mac and cheese was the winner as it was creamy and very well seasoned. The beans were good but for me it had some kind of tang, possibly tomato base with shreds of meat in the beans. When we left we were also thanked for coming in which a lot of businesses overlook. The food is outstanding and the service friendly. We will definitely be going back. If you are in the garland area definitely check this place out.

On our last excursion to this establishment I ordered a three meat plate which included ribs,sliced brisket and hot links. I am partial to the ribs but all varieties of meat has been my personal liking. The potato salad wasn't as thick as I would like but the rest of the sides are good. This is an old school BBq joint a little hard to find but the journey will be worth it.

We had the Brisket Enchiladas Meal and the Spuderosa Spud which is a large baked potato with brisket and all the fixings. The customer service is beyond exceptional!

Trisha and Matt, the owners, are some of the nicest people and are 1,000% about customer service and great food. We are here for our second time and it seems like everything is even better than the first time. I didn't think that was possible. There is a constant stream of customers coming to pick up food, order for take out or dine in. If you have not been here yet, definitely try it out. It will be your new favorite BBQ place.

Walked in to a friendly hostess and was seated rather quickly. Had a homey feel with wait staff bustling around delivering fresh chicken and veggies to various tables.

The salad was fresh/crisp and the biscuits w/honey, oh my melt in your mouth goodness! I ordered the catfish. Oh so light and crisp coating of cornmeal and fried to perfection. My husband got the chicken fried steak. Nice light coating and fork tender to cut. Topped with the creamy white gravy made it so good:) All the veggies, salad and biscuits you can eat with a protein of choice (5 to choose from), makes a great, fairly inexpensive night out This is a nice family friendly place and worth a trip!

We ordered two sets of wings: Buffalo and Dry Rub spicy BBQ. The wings were big in size but honestly, they were overly seasoned. It was too salty, too peppery, and just too bold. I ordered a brisket taco plate which came with two tacos. The brisket was dry and not flavorful. These tacos were dry and definitely needed the green salsa Verde that it came with. This bbq place isn't for me, but I understand there is a cult following for this place.

Arriving right at opening to secure easy parking pays off immediately, allowing for a stress-free start at a prime outdoor table under the shade. The meal kicks off nicely with a round of crisp, refreshing golden pours--specifically an Oak Cliff Hefeweizen, a Rollertown Big German, and an Oak Cliff Fortunate Friend IPA. This lineup showcases their great selection of local craft beers that can be tailored to perfectly complement each menu selection. The Burrata Caprese appetizer immediately elevates the experience and pairs wonderfully with the Rollertown Big German. It features a beautifully creamy fresh burrata dressed with a dark, sweet balsamic reduction and a vibrant pumpkin seed pesto, surrounded by savory marinated tomatoes. The accompanying fresh focaccia boasts a phenomenal golden-brown char and crunch. The main event is the pizza, served on metal baking sheets with a beautifully thin, blistered crust that maintains its structural integrity without becoming overly dense. The first pie the Meatzilla, is a robust, savory powerhouse built on a bright San Marzano sauce and mozzarella base that finds its ideal match in the Fortunate Friend IPA. The pie is heavily loaded with perfectly crisped pepperoni, calabrese sausage, housemade Italian sausage, Wagyu meatballs, and pancetta. This intense, hearty blend is beautifully balanced by rich, creamy dollops of ricotta, while spicy honey and Calabrian chiles provide a lingering sweet heat that cuts right through the rich meats. The second pie, the Potato and Pancetta, offers a fantastic contrasting flavor profile that drinks perfectly alongside the Oak Cliff Hefeweizen. This white pie is built on a rich white sauce and melted fontina base, intricately layered with thinly shaved potato and shallot. The addition of duck fat and savory pancetta brings an incredible depth of flavor, which is then perfectly balanced by a generous finish of fresh scallions. The scallions are a crucial touch, providing a sharp, bright bite that cuts right through the luxurious fat and starch. Overall, it is a well-rounded, thoughtfully executed menu that easily justifies making the drive out to Garland.
