Love Heim! It's been a minute since I've been here, but oh man, if you're looking for BBQ in Fort Worth, this has to be #1 or #2 on the list. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and I love the laid-back, down-home atmosphere. The bar is great too, easy, come-as-you-are vibes that make it a perfect spot to hang out for a while. They also have a ton of outdoor seating, which is always a plus. Great BBQ, great atmosphere, great people. Absolutely perfect. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Man, Heim just hits the spot every single time. How can they make chicken so juicy and flavorful?! Heim is a must for anyone coming to Ft. Worth. read more

Came here for a work luncheon. You order at the counter as you enter and they give you a pager to be notified when it's ready. I ordered the two meats platter with pulled pork and Texas style sausage for my meats with the pinto beans and mashed. The pulled pork was seasoned well and moist, the sausage was full of flavor and a nice pop when you bite into it. The pinto beans were very flavorful but the mashed was dry. The the ambiance was chill and the staff very friendly. All In all a good spot. read more

Heim Barbecue - River - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Went to Heim Barbecue in Fort Worth for a company dinner and had a really good experience. We ordered a big platter with several different meats and sides, and everything was solid. The brisket was definitely on point. It was tender and full of flavor. All the sides were great too, no misses there. I tried their Heim Light Lager and it paired perfectly. It was a good taste but light enough to enjoy with all that BBQ. The staff was also super accommodating, moving tables around to fit our big group without any hassle. Overall, just a great BBQ spot with good food, good beer, and good service. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Fort Worth. read more

Barbecue was something my group and I wanted to have while visiting Fort Worth and we were glad that we found Heim Barbecue. While we had a few other options in mind, Heim was a solid choice due to a few reasons. This location has a large parking lot, a decent sized outdoor patio, a roomy interior, plus bar space. While there was no line out the door on my visit, there was a very steady stream of customers during peak lunch hour. The menu is simple yet abundant in BBQ meats and sides. Having a bar and more alcoholic beverages than other barbecue spots is nice. I like that they have BBQ plates (one, two, or three meat) as well as by-the-pound as a choice...as some places sadly no longer have plates for purchase. Please don't ever take plates off the menu! We had their bacon burnt ends (so soft and flavorful, sweet and smoky, and yes...fatty in a great way), beef brisket (love it moist and the seasoning was delicious), pork ribs (fall off the bone tender and didn't need any BBQ sauce though also very good with it), and sides like cole slaw (A-OK, I'd prefer it slightly more creamy), potato salad (so much yum), fries (very typical), mac n cheese (creamy and tasty), green beans (seasoned well), and onion rings (huge rings of goodness). The original BBQ sauce is my favorite but their spicy one is also good. Ask for the sauces when you pickup your order at the counter (since you get a buzzer while food is being prepared) so you can bring the bottle to your table for use. You don't get to see all the slicing and chopping when you order and you just have to trust the process. The staff were very friendly and welcoming on our visit, and we definitely plan to swing by again. read more

The price of their food does not match the quality or quantity they produce. Much better barbecue not far away. I will not be coming back. Mac and cheese sucks btw. read more

Heim Barbecue - River - The one meat plate... - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I came in last night for a bedtime snack. I ordered a half pound of brisket but I received was one slice of brisket. I talked to myself geez that's awfully tiny. I should've taken a picture. I didn't think about it at the time. I assumed that y'all probably had scales. but today for lunch I go and eat at Panther City barbecue order. I have a half pound of brisket a quarter pound of smoked turkey and it's way too much meat to eat and the brisket that they gave me as a half pound was two times as much as the half pound of brisket I got at Heim. the food was good but I don't see them giving away a full pound of brisket for the price of a half. I Love Heim, for years when everyone else wants to talk smack I'm normally the one standing up for it I eat barbecue everywhere any day of the week multiple places per day but I would thought I would share about my experience here with y'all half pound literally being half the size of Panther City's half pound. read more

Heim Barbecue - River - Half pound at Panther City - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Met friends for lunch on Saturday 3/21 and really surprised the place wasn't at all crowded or super busy. Food was great, has a laid back atmosphere. We had a group of 4 with 1 toddler. I had hoped they had specials for the food was rather pricey. $40+ for a 3 meat place and sides & they charge more for drinks than fast food. Yikes. We went with 2 meat plate, sides and drinks and it was over $32 Considering the cost we split plates to save some $. The brisket and pulled pork were delicious. The staff was nice, and the atmosphere is welcoming with a modern industrial style. I'd recommend but be aware its expensive if you are on a budget. read more

Heim Barbecue - River - Brisket and pulled pork (half a point each). - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Good BBQ for Texas but there are better places in and out of state. They only offer one kind of BBQ sauce which is super sweet with no tangy notes or any spice. The big plus is the meats are not overly smoky like other places and are really juicy. Definitely better than the other location and less crowded. Service feels like any fast food establishment and the people behind the counter keep eye contact to a minimum if any at all. Otherwise, the place is clean and well thought out with the fountain drinks and bar being in the middle of the building. Sitting outside offers plenty of shade and an easy exit once you're done. We ordered the brisket and burnt ends (aka pork belly). Everything was good but the absence of a smoky and/or spicy sauce would've elevated the meal. The green chili mac n' cheese, coleslaw and banana pudding was a delight for sides. Glad there is an alternative to BBQ. I'd leave it on the map for next time. read more

Never a bad service or food! We went to this location for the first time. Had a great patio, inside is nicely spacious.

We are repeat customers... Have been coming here since they open... It's been becoming more and more common to show up and things not be available to eat... Today we decided to post about it because we are business owners and would be a little frustrated if our employees were telling the clients that things weren't prepared because the morning shift didn't wanna do it... And then the afternoon shift I guess showed up and figured well. It's not my job so we'll just not have it today... It's weird this is Texas barbecue and mac and cheese and from our experience, pretty easy to make... read more

I got sliced brisket, with two sides, and a drink! Their burnt ends and fried pickles are delicious!! The people are very considerate and helpful! The area was also perfect for a large family! read more

The food was good. Bacon burnt ends are always fantastic here. The potato skins were not what I expected. They were presented in a mound of potatoes, cheese and meat. They were quite messy but flavorful. The three meat platter was good with nice sized portions of meat. The only thing I would have changed was sitting outside. The weather was beautiful but the flies were horrible. read more

I would say this place gets an E for effort. Clean and inviting restaurant but the food flavor falls short. Employees provided great customer service and thus gave two stars l. Out of the food in the photos only the pork ribs and onion rings would I recommend. The place doesn't even smell of barbecue cooking or smoke. I would stay away. My wife and I left feeling hungry which should never happen at a barbecue restaurant. read more

Service was great. The food was just meh. I thought as up to par for a stereotypical BBQ place. In Texas, there's a lot to compete with unfortunately. The green chili mac&cheese was bland. Needs a lot more flavor. read more

We had just visited the Fort Worth stockyards, so we were hankering for some delicious barbecue. We've heard excellent things about Heim and decided to order a sampler of almost everything they had in stock. The flavor of the barbecue was excellent. What was disappointing was the temperature of the barbecue as well as the temperature of the mac & cheese. The manager was very kind and reimbursed us for half of our meal, and did say that he checked the temperature in all of their drawers, but I still can't go over the fact that the food was not hot at all. When mac & cheese comes out, it should be as hot as molten lava. Most disappointing? The fat inside the regular sausage and the cheese inside the spicy sausage was coagulated when it arrived at our table. Lastly, the barbecue sauce container at our table was clogged up so badly that when we tried to use it, it shot barbecue sauce all over my husband's shirt. He looked like one of the speckled Longhorns that we saw at the stockyards. read more

Oh my gosh. The brisket sandwich was incredible I'm 5'1, 120 pounds and ate the WHOLE thing because it was THAT good!

Staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Food is great, decent side portions and hot upon serving.

This was 5 stars and it still could be. But the bar has been missing about 4 taps the last few Months and no one on staff seems to know why or when they will be replaced or such. Seems like a waste. Great bar and outdoor area but would like some choices here. Hope they can call Some reps and figure it out... read more

There's enough reviews that on "any given Sunday" this place arguably has the best BBQ in Texas. However, this review is to let ya'll know about a ProTip: Heim Salad! Throw on the bacon burnt ends, and you have a meal that will fill you up, and not sink you! While the Heim Salad is always on the menu, it's easily overlooked, and not always on the printed menu! If you are foodie, listen to me... this little salad might be one of the best things to eat in Fort Worth! 5 STARS read more

We love coming here! Great happy hour, very attentive and kind staff and the yard area is great the relax in. My kind of dining!

Yes yes yes! ALL OF IT. Amazing food, service, ambiance Hands down the very Best Of Fort Worth DFW. Top notch offerings. Thank you Ms Robin & team for always taking such great care of us. White Settlement location is my families favorite location. We've been coming here for 5 years now and won't go anywhere else. Great for families, catering, parties and beyond.

I'm not the biggest barbecue fan, but when in TX, I decided to try this place out with my coworkers who frequently go to this place. Upon entering, there was plenty of seating and you order your food at the counter and pick it up when it's ready. I went with the turkey and got two sides: onion rings and the chile Mac and cheese. The star of the show was definitely the Mac and cheese which had such a unique sauce and a bit of spice from the chiles. The onion rings were alright, and I wish they were a bit crispier. The turkey was pretty good and had a hint of spice which complimented the sweetness from the barbecue sauce pretty well. Overall, it's a decent place if you want to enjoy barbecue! read more

Great food and great service. Atmosphere was top notch as well. Ready to eat here again

Everytime I am in town I will stop by at least once for an order of Burnt ends. I love them so much! They are sweet, salty, peppery, chewy, moist, meaty, and yet melt in your mouth! I've had their brisket before and some sides which were great too but so filling! Even 3 of these burnt ends filled me up! The ambiance is country BBQ and the staff was very nice and helpful. read more

Highly recommended. As a Texas BBQ connoisseur, I must say the rather quiet for a Friday Heim at the river was spot on. Service was prompt, friendly, and made us feel comfortable even with our little one. I went with the Turkey Breast, Lean Brisket, Beans, Collards. Everything was delightful. the smoke flavor was good, lightly pronounced as a good Post Oak TX place should have. BBQ complimented the meat well but wasn't needed. Turkey was moist!! Which, is hard to get consistently with breast meat. My wife's bacon burnt ends were to die. Highly recommended! read more

We LOVED Heim bbq. My family and I have visited this location many of times and it's never disappointed. My mother in law got the burger and said it was great, my dad and I both got the two meat plates. The star of the meal really was the bacon burnt ends! Those are sooo good but they do sell out!! We have also tried their beef rib and it's amazing too! My hubby has mentioned that the beef rib is pretty close to Pecan Lodge in Dallas. All of the meats were really good and with the Heim bbq sauce, they were even better. As for the sides...the onion rings are thick cuts and the batter is a little on the thicker side in my opinion. I can only eat one or two before getting full on them. Mac and cheese is sooo good and not spicy even though it has chilies in it. The potato salad and coleslaw are decent. The potato salad has bacon bits in it which definitely do make it taste better. I personally don't love Mayo so dishes like those aren't my favorite in general. We have also gotten the loaded potato skins before and those are amazing. Definitely recommend trying those! Overall, I would recommend Heim to anyone and we often bring guests to this place for bbq! read more

So, I ordered the 1 meat, two sides, $17 meal. I get one and a half pieces of brisket. No bread. Potato Salad is weird but OK. Fried Okra couldn't even taste the Okra. This is just sad. Very disappointed. read more

This place is pretty popular so be prepared to have trouble finding a parking spot and you'll have to stand in line. We went on a Saturday around 7. We split a three meat plate. We ordered brisket (they didn't ask if we wanted chopped or sliced), jalapeno cheese sausage and pulled pork with cole slaw (terrible) and potato salad (dry). You have to order beer at tye bar and it seems they have a good selection of draft beer. When I asked if they had any cider beers I was told they were out. Beer was $8 and change for 12 oz. We sat inside and shared a table with a family which made it uncomfortable when it came time for bbq sauce. I just think you can get better at many of the other bbq places in the area. read more

Heim Barbecue - River - Little bit of a wait. - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

The service was good and the food was great. I had a burger and fries were delicious. I would return.

Well I'm surprised at the reviews. I didn't read any prior to coming here with my business partner for a working lunch. He lives nearby and while he said it was no Coopers, he said it was good. It was a freezing cold February day, 23 degrees and raining sleet and Heim was super warm inside. You walk in and it's the same as I'm assuming any other BBQ joint in Texas is - you order at a counter and then pick it up when ready. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. There is no table service. There is a bar that we didn't utilize, but a few people were stationed having a drink. The wifi was strong and the building quiet enough to make phone calls and have a productive work afternoon. I'm not from Texas or any other state known for barbecue so I'm by no means an expert. I just know when food tastes good. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich on the jalapeno cheese bun. It was fantastic. The bread was soft and flavorful and they put a massive pile of pork on it. I added pickles and onions from the toppings bar. There is a soda fountain that even has Diet Dr. Pepper which is pretty rare. We also ordered the baked potato salad (which wasn't that good... dry potatoes), the chile mac and cheese which I didn't find super appealing either, and the fries which were actually super good. Aside from the ambiance of a new building there are no frills, but I've discovered bbq is a no frills kind of meal. I would definitely come here again. read more
