Plenty food...ribs were good brisket was ok. I'd recommend eating in rather than taking to go.

Brisket is awesome, even the barbecue sauce was warmed up, Texas sure knows how to do barbecue! Service was fast and friendly! read more

A local favorite, Hodies serves up some great BBQ in a no frills diner right on the main road through town. The food is reasonably priced, the menu is easy to read, the wait staff is friendly and helpful. Bottomline: we enjoyed our lunch. Food service was fast. The iced tea well made and served in a Texas sized glass. The place is busy and quite popular. Brisket comes either sliced or chopped with the sauce on the side or on the sandwich. They also have a number of sides that accompany their meals. I'd stop here again on the next trip through town. read more

Hodies Bar B Q - Dining room - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

The food was average yet plentiful. The decor was early garage sale. We did take out so it might be better if you dined in.

Stopped here on our way to CO. Dropped my son off to get the order in and I ran a block away to get gas. Came back and still waiting over 10 minutes to get 2 sandwiches to go. Seemed to take a long time to make a sandwich. This is a local hangout for the area and probably have some great plates, but I found the bbq a little dry. There are better places, just not sure how far you'd have to drive for it!! read more

Always a great stop on road trips. Super kind service and they serve up yummy BBQ hot and fresh!

Great little restaurant with good ambiance on US 87. We each had the chopped brisket sandwich. They have "single" and "double" meat portions and the single was an ample amount. It was tossed in just the right amount of delicious BBQ sauce. I had two sides - coleslaw and onion rings, both good. The service was fast and staff very friendly. read more

Great food, great service, most importantly great people who care. Loved this diner in the middle of Texas! Will definitely be stopping by next time driving through. read more

Hodies Bar B Q - Bbq dinner plate - brisket, ribs, potato salad, coleslaw, beans and Texas toast. Also had their June special frito pie. - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

Seated immediately by friendly servers. The menu was easy to read. Food was served hot and in large portions. The fries were salty and just the right amount of crunchy. I had the brisket. Delicious. The garden salad was very good. The chicken fried steak was tender and filling. The cole slaw was lacking and the potato salad was not something to write home about.... read more

Small local restaurant, was clean with plenty of tables. Waitress was super friendly and helpful. Food was superb! There were 3 sides with the dinners, the brisket was tender with wonderful flavor. They have homemade cobbler and ice cream that was to die for. Definitely would recommend this restaurant. read more

To the last bite! Real home town bbq with a personalized touch. The portions are plentiful and filling. The staff friendly. The bbq, well if the photos says anything... it actually says YUM! read more

Hodies Bar B Q - Brisket sandwich and two sides - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

Nice stop along the way through Dalhart. Fast, friendly service and very good chopped brisket. Would definitely stop here again.

If you're looking for good, authentic Texas Barbecue with high quality meat and rich delicious smoked in flavor and you're in Dalhart you may be tempted to saunter into Hodies. But seriously don't, none of the above applies to Hodies. In fact it should be an embarrassment to refer to what's being served as "Barbecue", it's not. read more

Thankfully we found this place in our drive to Colorado. Best bbq sandwich in Texas...and the fried okra were delicious!! Huge portions for the price too! Very reasonably priced. Look forward to visiting again when heading to the mountains. read more

Stooped in our our way to Amarillo and was not disappointed ! Authentic Texas BBQ. Wait staff are fun and engaging. Had ribs and they fell off the bone, my husbands brisket was done perfectly (and he is picky!) Small restaurant reminded me of the old time diners. Can't miss this one if you are passing thru town. read more

Hodies Bar B Q - Sliced brisket, cole slaw, potato salad , beans and Texas toast. Yum - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

This restaurant seems to have a large locals' following. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The dining room was clean enough for a bbq place. The prices are in line with bbq restaurants at home. (We were passing through from East Texas. ) Before ordering tea or soft drinks, check the price. A little too expensive for my taste. ) I had the brisket sandwich special. The beans were perfectly seasoned. The cottage style fried potatoes were a good change from potato salad. The bun was fresh and tasty. The beef, while seasoned well, was not moist enough. Very dry. Overall, a good place to eat, but ask for extra sauce, even if you have to pay a little extra for it. read more

5th & final BBQ stop on the bbq road trip.... Excellent, friendly service. Dinner plate was an amazing deal, 1/2 the price & way better than where we come from. The meats were very tasty, sides were on point and the fries were deemed #1. For sure the most homey place we stopped at; quite comforting for some reason. Cool metal sculptures on the walls. Laid back. Thumbs up! read more

Always an excellent choice for call ahead dinner plate when you are tired and don't want to cook... the Bar B Q is always top notch at Hodie's the girls work hard to make sure you are satisfied read more

I should start by saying I am not a huge BBQ fan. The food was fine, nothing great but it was ok. read more

Hodies Bar B Q - 3 meat platter - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

Recommendation- do not order here. It is an embarrassment to Texas BBQ. Everything is store bought and heated up. No smoker chugging away at this place!! How can that be? The Brisket and chicken are obviously out of a package and tasteless. No smoke flavor or ring at all. No Texas BBQ place slices it's brisket with a countertop slicer. It looked like a had ordered a thinly sliced gyro platter from a Greek restaurant. I threw away most of the platter after tasting. My wife ordered a salad with chicken on top. Same store packaged chicken on top of shredded lettuce and ONE tomato WEDGE. That's all. Dressings are in store bot single- serving package. And when I order a simple 3-meat platter off the menu with no changes and your kitchen staff gets it wrong, it is not my fault. The lady at front seemed very put off with me questioning it. They left off the chicken. Should be easy to fix. Really sad place but not many options in Dalhart. read more

Food was awesome, cobbler was delish and staff was so friendly and attentive. We are traveling through and so glad we stopped here. It will become a "must stop" place to eat for us from now on. read more

The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive to our needs. Outstanding bbq, ( brisket and Sausage) potato salad, been, and coleslaw. If you driving through Dalhart,Tx. It's a must stop!! read more

After reading the reviews, we came here to get carry out on a snowy night. What a great choice. This is a unique local dining experience. We had the three meat platter, chicken fried steak and a ham sandwich. All were excellent. Great value for the money. The service was superb. The wait staff was friendly and warm. They did their jobs quickly. But they were also quite personable. I would make a point of stopping here to eat whatever the reason I was coming through here. read more

Hodies Bar B Q - That smell! That smell. What an aroma. BBQ perfume. - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

I love this place. In full disclosure, the last time I was here was in October of 2011, but I still thought a review was appropriate. I used to travel through Dalhart a few times a month, and this was my favorite place to go. Bar H is also a popular hangout for the frequent panhandle travelers; if you want to sit down to a steak, it is great. Hodies, however, is great bbq at a great price. The brisket is always tasty and tender, you can tell it was done right. My favorite part though is the beans. They are like nothing I have found anywhere else. Maybe it is a Texas thing, but it is a very different style than we have in KC. They alone would be worth my time to go there. As other have noted, it is not fancy, but the food is good and that is what matters most for this guy. I am hungry just thinking about it. read more

Hodies Bar B Q - Brisket sandwich, beans and rings. AWESOME!! - Barbeque Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

Coming back to Fort Worth from our Colorado family vacation...my husband wanted to try some BBQ. We came upon this place from the views of several yelpers. We had the 2 meat combo and their side dishes of beans, coleslaw, toast, and potatoes salad. Came by drive- thru and their staff was friendly. Pro - ribs and brisket was on point and was extremely delicious and tender. Con- the polish sausage strangely was to "porky" smell and tasted half-way cooked. Their sides dishes was nothing to fantastic, more of mediocre and which appeared "left-overs" as it was dry and lacked flavor. read more

Always a must stop when passing thru! From the brisket sandwich to the combo plates. All 5-Star in my opinion!! You can't go wrong here. Drive thru here we come! read more

This is simply lackluster BBQ and it's unfair they are currently being graded on a curve. The atmosphere and service are nothing to speak of, which is fine for hole in the wall TX BBQ. More importantly the food is just plain ole disappointing to anyone whose actually had good BBQ before. This place may or may not have been good at one point in time but as of this moment it's clear they're really not trying anymore. They know they're probably the best game in this small town and that's all they aspire to. If your just driving through town like I was... keep driving. read more

Clean place, wonderful food and great service. I should also mention the large portions of food. This is a great place for families, good selections for everyone in your family (even the picky eater). Glad we stopped in on our way home from skiing in Colorado. read more

If you are looking for bar b q don't go here. I would wait till you got some where where there is good bar b q

Midway between Dallas and Denver, a great place to stop. Unpretentious, friendly, good thick sandwiches, lots of locals.

Absolutely delicious!!!!! Worth the stop. Small fast food place but so darn good!! Fast customer service.

Been passing through Dalhart for years. Always the wrong time for food. I will now stop at Hoodies anytime they're open. Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Maybe I was just hungry for BQ, but man this place hit the spot! I settled on a 2 meat plate: ribs and brisket. Everything on the plate was good, sides included. The ribs were perfect to me. Most of the fat rendered out and the bark absolutely delicious. The brisket was very lean and sliced super thin. With a little sauce, just nice. It happened to be my birthday, and they brought me a peach cobbler on the house. I left happy and satisfied. I will be back sometime. Try it! These guys do breakfast too (gotta be better than Micky-D's). Great service too! read more

Our food came out in under 10 minutes!! It was sooo good!!! Serving are large enough to have left over!! Service was very friendly!! We will definitely be back!! read more
