    Hard 8 BBQ outside
    Jason B.

    Second time here. The ambiance is always great and staff friendly. I will say that the stay was AWESOME - attentive, friendly, informative and keep a very clean store. Our previous experience several years back was not like this. The food was good. We tried a little over everything and all was good. As a BBQ guy myself, it's tough to compare fresh bbq compared to BBQ that wa cooked many hours before. The flavor profiles were all there of course. The signature beans and sauces are always on point. The draft beers were cold and inexpensive. I believe I met the owner or manager that told me that they have taken over about 5 years ago. Very friendly and he cares about his staff, quality of food, culture, and continuing the legacy. Overall great experience and highly recommend.

    Hard Eight is getting better and better each time I visit! I appreciate the quick service and ease of navigating the food line. The brisket has been wonderful the last few times I ate at Hard Eight. And the beans- oh the beans!!! I might come just for the beans next time.

    Hard Eight is a great place to visit for a quick yet flavorful meal. We went midday on a Sunday. It was plenty busy, but we got in quickly. The food and good service keeps us coming back. I had sirloin steak and jalapeño sausage. The sirloin was tasty, but that sausage is incredible! There are so many seasonings in it, it is like a party in your mouth! The fried okra is a big serving and was cooked to perfection! Husband said the beef ribs were alright. The complimentary beans make the meal a good value. The cherry cobbler was a little overcooked, but husband's peach cobbler was great! Parking is ample and the workers are super friendly!

    I really liked the brisket, which has to be marbled for me. It was moist and fatty, loved it! My husband had his lean, he didn't like it as much as I did, he felt it was a little dry. We also liked the okra. It was hot and crispy, very good flavor. The jalapeno sausage also had good flavor. We didn't care for the potato salad, or the bacon wrapped shrimp. The potato salad had some seasoning we weren't fond off and the shrimp has onion wrapped in it, and it over powers the taste. Not a fan. They have complimentary beans, which lacked some seasoning, but hey, they are free! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We paid 43 dollars for everything we tried. Didn't think that was bad at all!

    Brisket potato is awesome!

    Wow! $2.50 drafts all day everyday! Had the baked potato with chopped brisket and it was delicious! Friendly staff and great service. Do I need to say it again, $2.50 drafts all day everyday! If you haven't been here, you need to add it to your todo list. Actually a pretty cool venue as well!

    Food was great and every one that was working today was very nice. I will be back to this establishment.

    Very average Q, should have ordered the steak! Sliced brisket: dry and a little too chewy for me. Ribs: I did appreciate t they were not overcooked (aka fall off the bone) but equally bland. BBQ sauce saved the meal. The free beans were delicious. Peach cobbler was OK. Staff are friendly and the space is great.

    Not impressed but as a lot of ya'll know i don't really care for BBQ. The brisket was good but not pull a part tender and lacked flavor from what smoke ring was there. The spicy sausage was just that, spicy. Again good but not great. Also got some fried okra and boy what a shock, it was heavily spiced, not bad, but not great, it was just little to salty. The beans where real good and no i didn't have any sauce, don't like BBQ sauce. The service was great but i really hate the stool seating, i prefer a back on my seat. All in all it wasn't bad, it just wasn't great for me.

    Outside menu (meats, sandwiches, corn and potatoes). Side dishes, drinks and desserts are available inside the restaurant.

    We had 30 minutes to explore before our guests arrived, ... and the people could not have been friendlier. The dining room staff appeared to recognize that their facilities are so fine that no true foodie could resist walking around, taking in the sights and photographing the scenes. The men at the pit where the meats are ordered were a delight to behold and interact with. I watched as they masterfully filled the orders of the patrons that passed through as I waited for my guests. They posed for my photos and answered my questions about the ordering process. It must be something about the Fort Worth / Burleson area, ... even the customers were as friendly as "all get out". We ordered brisket, pork ribs, sausage, jalepeno sausage, chicken and a turkey stuffed potato at the meat station. We stepping inside and ordered sweet potato fries and cole slaw, then helped ourselves to all-you-can-eat beans. The aestetics prepared me for a culinary feast that the food failed to deliver. The brisket was over-cooked, so it presented more like chopped beef than sliced brisket; it lacked juiciness and flavor. The beans and all of the meats that I sampled would have benefitted from a generous helping of salt, pepper, onion and garlic. Ambience (5*), Service (5*), Food (3*); Overall (4*).

    Half pound each of brisket and jalapeño sausage.

    We love Hard Eight. The only bad thing I can say about this place is that it might be hard for a vegetarian to eat here.

    Amazing pizza. Very nice atmosphere and staff very friendly. If you live in Burleson, Texas ,…read moredefinitely you need to check it out

    (3/5) We recently…read morestopped by Twisted Sister Tap Room while driving through Burleson. Since we don't live in the area, we're not sure how new it is, but the space itself definitely makes an impression. The atmosphere is awesome -- very moody and chic with a cool, trendy vibe. It feels thoughtfully designed and would be a great spot to hang out with friends if you're not in a rush. We were warmly greeted by the manager and hostess, which made for a great first impression. That said, the experience quickly slowed down -- and I mean really slowed down. First tip: do not go here if you're in any kind of hurry. Service was incredibly slow from start to finish. Our waitress also had a noticeable undertone of attitude, which didn't help the pacing issue. We ordered iced tea, an appetizer, and a salad to start. The salad unfortunately came absolutely drenched in dressing. We also ordered the garlic cheese bombs, which were actually very good -- though by the time they arrived, we were so hungry from waiting that anything might have tasted amazing. There were several small service details that added up. We had to ask for straws, we had to ask for plates, and we even had to ask for ice for the iced tea. We were never offered drink refills the entire time we were there. Everything is served on small appetizer plates, and when our pizza arrived (which was good -- fluffy dough with great flavor), we had to ask for new plates. The response was, "Do you want more plates?" which felt a bit strange. We also weren't given any pizza serving utensils, so we ended up using butter knives to cut it. Overall, this place has a very cool, chic vibe and the food itself has good flavor. However, the service was extremely slow and came with a bit of attitude, which made the experience frustrating. If you're looking for a laid-back evening and have plenty of time, it could be worth a visit -- just don't expect quick or particularly attentive service.
