Harris BBQ is one of the best in the DFW area. I frequently stop to pick up ribs and sliced brisket. Stopped today and the ribs are amazing and the brisket is fabulous! I also love their hot bbq sauce. If you are ever in Cedar Hill stop and get some of this deliciousness!! read more

Great and attentive service. Baked potato was delicious. Will have to try their ribs/brisket next time Will be back!

I'm sorry. But the meat was not good at all. There was no seasoning or smoke on the meat. The service was great but the meat was not edible read more

Food was fantastic, the brisket as well as the sides. The service was great. I Highly recommend it!!

I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. Had the beef sandwich (brisket) & pinto beans (kind of like chili where I'm from), I'd recommend for sure read more

My fiancé and I were visiting from Louisiana and found this place on Yelp. We each got the 2 meat plate. They were out of brisket by the time we made it there, unfortunately. I had the ribs and pulled pork, and he had the ribs and chicken. We both got potato salad and coleslaw as our sides. Everything was delicious! The meat was well seasoned and flavorful and the sides were so good too. We also shared a slice of the amazing pound cake (not pictured as we were told to eat that first, which we did on the drive to our hotel). We had mentioned to them that it was our first time there, and the owner Mrs. Harris came to the window to greet us and was so nice and welcoming! We will definitely stop here again the next time we come to town. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! You can smell it before you even see it three blocks away. This is my first time visiting and I was just impressed by the food service and how nice everyone was. I ended up getting a three meat plate with beef, pork, and ribs blew me away best barbecue I've had in a long time. Super glad this is close to the house cause I will be visiting more often. read more

My first impression was this is a Mom and Pop BBQ Spot, reminded me of a truck stop for truckers who want to grab some BBQ on their way out. However, never judge a book by its cover bc this spot is a winner when it comes to BBQ. Stop by for a quick lunch break and the food was delicious. We sat inside and the spot was clean, and very cool Inside. Which was a plus bc this Texas heat is no joke. Enjoyed our sweet tea and BBQ. It was all so delicious that we grab a plate to go for later tonight. The food was freshly prepared and seasoned deliciously. My favorite was the chicken it was so moist. I enjoyed the sausage but chicken was my favorite. Both the mild and hot BBQ sauce was delicious. Unlimited sweet tea refills and it was sweet. read more

Harris Bar-B-Que - Brisket and sausage, sorry food was so good we started eating before we remembered to take a photo, lol. - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Harris Bar-B-Que came up big for my recent 4th of July celebration and I was really pleased with their catering. They're not only highly rated on Yelp but also among the hyped BBQ spots for local publications (#1) so I knew we were all in for a treat. Located just off the J. Elmer Weaver Freeway in the heart of Cedar Hill, Harris almost feels more like a small BBQ diner with just a handful of indoor and outdoor tables. The neighborhood feels incredibly rural, which I suppose makes this place a diamond in the rough. The vibe is definitely no frills, which is a huge win in my book. Their slogan of "where smoke meets flavor" is definitely accurate and on most weekends, their meats get sold out fast. Sandwiches are in the $9-10 range, while the BBQ plates are $14-21. Beef by the pound is currently $20, followed by pulled pork and ribs at $18.50. Compared to similar places around the state, this is quite affordable (#2). I really enjoyed their sliced brisket, which was moist and smokey through and through. The sausage is okay, but I was super impressed with the ribs. Their beef rib is often sold out, but a real treat when available. Their fully baked potato is stacked and $10 at most. Even the smoked chicken breast is excellent. I'm not too sold on the pinto beans or the cole slaw as sides, but the potato salad and green beans are super tasty. One could probably complain about the lack of variety, but I applaud them for focusing on what they have and doing it well. The catering menu is a little different and customizable and they tend to mention that they're strictly credit card and cash only. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays. _____________ (#1) Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Palaces (#2) The BBQ twilight zone is still happening. read more

Out of This World BBQ Experience! Absolutely everything here hits the mark! The food? Phenomenal. The people? Warm, welcoming, and real. My family is notoriously picky when it comes to BBQ, and not once have they had a single complaint -- that says everything. The prices are more than fair for the quality you get, and the down-home atmosphere makes you feel like you're at a family cookout, just cleaner and better. Always spotless, always delicious. Without hesitation, I recommend this gem -- it's BBQ done right. read more

What a stroke of luck, staying near this gem among the best of TX BBQ! Brisket that I'm having a terribly tough time imagining better...So moist and melty with the perfect smoky edge. I was sad when my stomach let me know I didn't have room for the last two bites. The pulled pork was equally notable. Perfectly juicy and rich in flavor, and the portions are hefty for the very reasonable prices. The sauce is incredible, too, if you're a sauce person on your BBQ. Can't go wrong with either the hot or mild. We felt well taken care of, comfortable, and welcome partaking of this establishment. From OK, so I don't know how often we can make it back, but I'd say it's well worth the trip! read more

Was in a rush so I just had a chicken sandwich and it was amazing so I can only imagine how good the other stuff is. 5/5 definitely would go back! read more

Harris Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

This is one of those places that looks like nothing is going on, but let me tell you... there's magic happening in that kitchen. Most tender brisket I've had in a long time. The ribs and the potato salad are also delicious. Not a fan of the pinto beans, but let's be honest, we're here for the meat anyway. The service was friendly and fast. Don't think I waited more than a few minutes each time I've been. It's a little cozy. I probably wouldn't dine in with a group larger than 4. Long story short, RUN DONT WALK if you're in Cedar Hill! read more

Harris Bar-B-Que - Ribs, brisket, potato salad, pinto beans - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Get the ribs! 10/10. Beans were good and potato salad was not bad. The older lady at the drive-through is a doll. Highly recommend.

The meat tastes amazing and they have damn good barbecue sauce. They have a spicy barbecue sauce also and the service is awesome.

The sign outside proclaims one of the top 50 bbq joints in Texas and I believe it. These ladies know what they're doing! I ordered the two meat plus two sides plate with chicken, brisket, and pinto beans and potato salad and I am in a very happy food coma. All were delicious but if I had to pick, the brisket was the MVP. It melted in my mouth. I ordered both the mild and the hot bbq sauce, but only ended up using the hot sauce because it wasn't too spicy for me. If you're comfortable with any level of spice, you can take their hot! read more

Stopped in today.. we got sliced beef sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, ribs with various sides... but the star was the chicken... so flavorful and juicy. The value was good and food was hearty and very tasty. We will definitely be back! read more

It's OK barbecue. I will say the ribs and brisket are moist. They're not dry at all. They just don't have a lot of crust on them. I would give the ribs, three stars and the brisket two stars. read more

Best moist brisket in town, I love how soft it is, give them a try and you will be hooked

Hands down the best ribs in the area. Sauce on the side it where it's at. The sides are pretty standard, but who goes for BBQ for the sides? Brisket is delicious, staff is wonderful, prices are standard. Everyone I've taken there has raved about it. It's out favorite in the area for sure. read more

The food was delicious and comforting! I got the brisket sandwich with a side of pinto beans. Next time I'd prefer the potato salad over the beans. Everything was delicious and the service was quick and friendly read more

I can't say enough of this place. First of all, the ladies receive you with such interest and kindness. The brisket and ribs are well cooked, not over done, and with great flavor. You need to try the spicy BBQ sauce - that has BOOM !!! Great place. I wish I didn't live so far Great job to the pit masters and owners. read more

Harris Bar-B-Que - Rib and brisket plate - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Melt-in-your-mouth brisket, tender ribs and flavorful beans make Harris BBQ really good. What makes this place great is the friendly service. I couldn't believe how many times someone stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal - and this at a restaurant where you order at the counter and there are no waiters. The sliced brisket sandwich, a great value at $6.50, couldn't have been more tender. I'm usually not a sauce person, but I ordered the "spicy" BBQ sauce which added a feisty zing. I also grabbed a rib off my companion's plate - it was done just right and pulled off the bone easily. When the pitmaster came by to check on us, I mentioned that my only disappointment was not getting to try the beans (the person at the counter told us they were sold out). He disappeared back into the kitchen and soon emerged with a small dish of the beans - "I had to scrape the bottom of the pot!" This hearty side dish featured pinto beans with little chunks of meat and tomato. I can see why this place made the Texas Monthly Top 50. Nice short BBQ road trip from DFW. read more

Great BBQ at a great price! I love their chopped sandwich! Sauce is wonderful and service is prompt!

I can't stay away, why drive all the way to deep ellum to Terry Blacks when I can come here? Saves me time and gas, and my taste buds can't tell the difference. I feel like family the way they deliver consistent flavor and quality Brisket. The service is excellent and kind. The ambiance isn't fancy and that's just fine for me, I'm here for that Smokey Q not a pretty view. read more

Slice beef, chopped excellent. Ribs, 8 out of 10. Coleslaw good. Potato salad, good. Pound cake, dry etc... Sweet tea, 5 gallon jug sitting on top of the trash receptacle. As you get your tea, you can throw your trash away at the same time, not good! Service, great! Love the smell of that barbecue as you enter and while you're eating. I will go back! read more

We went on a Saturday. Arrived between noon - 1. We were greeted by Mrs Harris, the proprietor. She was extremely friendly and helped us with the menu and provided us with recommendations and choices. We went with some brisket, ribs, sausage and chicken breast and side of potato salad. Brisket was moist and tasty. The ribs were tasty, but stuck to the bone a bit more than I would have liked. The sausage was good. The chicken was very moist and had great smoky taste. I liked that they actually had chicken, which you don't see that often. Potato salad was great too. One of the bigger things I liked about Harris, was it was a small family run restaurant and they took care of you and you could tell they cared. read more

Food was seasoned well and not heavy on the salt. I have HBP and rarely eat out due to the high sodium levels of restaurant food. Owner is nice and they open on time. I drive from Waxahachie to enjoy this good bbq. read more

To satisfy my desires to tour every place on the Texas Monthly Top 50 best I planned to stop here at Harris Bar-B-Cue on our way to Fort Worth. Getting here was a detour off my path to get to Waxahachie. Following a narrow road into town I spotted the little red metal building and pulled into the parking lot to see no vehicles. This was not a good sign and got out to walk to the front door and see a handwritten sign on door which said, "Sold Out". It was only just after lunchtime so it must be a place where the cook limits amount of meat sold. Turned out I was not alone where others showed up peeking through the windows. I will have to reschedule my return here and make sure to arrive much earlier read more

Got the chance to stop in here while in town for a business trip. As a Texas native this place really made me feel at home. To say "hole-in-the-wall" is an understatement. But I have to say, some of the best food comes from places like this. I was greeted by a very friendly man at the counter who took my order. note that we hit this place for lunch with 9 of us, so we pretty much slammed them just with our own party. The food came out relatively fast considering the fact that we hit them with that big of an order all at once. I ordered a puled pork sandwich, because I have a weakness for that sort of thing and it's a great way to judge a place's BBQ. You either get the pulled pork right, or you don't. They do it right! I topped it with some of their spicy sauce, which I loved! I also got a spicy sausage, which I dipped in that spicy sauce for a double spicy. Yum! But hey, if you aren't into spicy stuff they have you covered too with a regular sausage and regular BBQ sauce too. And I'll try not to call you a Yankee. ;-) One of my companions ordered the loaded baked potato, it was covered in BBQ meat and other toppings. The thing was huge, so bring a serious appetite if you order than thing, it had its own gravitational field! It was YUGE! All in all, I loved this place and I'd definitely stop in the next time I'm anywhere near here. You won't go wrong if you're looking for some serious, down home, Texas BBQ. read more

Excellent barbecue! Kelvin Harris does a great job with ribs, brisket and sausage. He doesn't apply too much seasoning and no sauce. The quality of his work speaks for itself. The ribs were meaty, tasty and cooked just right. The brisket was flavorful and juicy. The sausage was spicy and smokey. This place is definitely worth a visit. Just be aware that he opens at 11am and closes when he runs out of meat, which is almost every day by 3pm. read more

Great food and friendly people.. I love the brisket.. ribs are good too! Highly recommend them

Excellent BBQ! The best, in my opinion, in the area. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich and was asked if I wanted lean or more fatty meat - when I hesitated, the lady at the window (I used the drive through) said she could combine them, so that's what I decided to get. Super excellent flavor! No sauce needed. Highly recommend this little spot. The price was @$2 less than most places , which made it super worth going back! read more
