Went looking for some barbecue we didn't have to cook and honeeeeY! We found this place and decided to ride over. Well, you get your money's worth ova here! Those containers were so heavy I need to ramp up some extra muscle strength just to make it to the car. And the meat was tender and we had enough left over for another meal and a half! Y'all don't believe me. Get over there and get you some good eating. You best go early if you want brisket. And get you some dessert too. Lay out your pillow because you will be napping after after that meal! read more

Off the beaten path, but really delicious bbq. Nice and clean with friendly people. I would highly recommend.

The only thing I mean the ONLY thing that stops this from being 5 stars is CASH ONLY!! Bring cash ahead of time if you plan on going here because finding a nearby ATM is a pain in the butt. The 7/11 machine has been robbed so it's gone and the Wells Fargo machine up the street in front fiesta is hit or miss. Fiesta is the closest ATM. Other than that this was the best damn baked potato I've ever had in my entire 41 years of existence on this earth. Talk about full this held true to its name because after eating this I basically passed out and woke up in the middle of the night in a daze not realizing I had fallen asleep. I indulged in "The big knockout" it's a baked potato with ribs sausage brisket topped with cheese chives bacon bits and sour cream. I've been thinking about this potato for the last 4 days now and I look forward to getting another one real soon. Like this weekend read more

Feel free to view on TikTok to see actual video of this old overcooked not fresh daily food they told me it was @ashuntinicolee. 1st time and last time here, please be careful and do not get sick. Black businesses gotta do better when we the main ones buying your food. Also they're cash only red flag number 1 because you know I can't dispute a cash order. Mr dude w the dreads I guess he the cook, he definitely didn't wanna be at work. Nobody greeted us or spoke. Like the attitude was crazy and this food yall selling? lol whyyyy are youuu made at usss you started and opened a business? the audacity!! Goodluck staying open the reviews are getting worse and worse and Dallas natives don't even recommend it. The response is what killed me because anyone w eyes can see the food isn't fresh and compared to other photos of previous customers the food does not look safe. read more

Food was very good. Even though it 20 minutes to get 2 baked potatoes. Overly priced but delicious. The place gave me an old school rodeo feeling. We paid $36 for 2 baked potatoes that had chopped links and brisket. Definitely worth trying! read more

When I first step to the counter, there was a lady standing there she said nothing to me. Hi can I take your order or nothing then I ordered the food even after I got such horrible service. I got the worst baked potato. I have ever eaten in my life, I asked for chopped beef and sausage. The beef was not chopped, and it was not tender. I could not eat any of the chopped beef that was in my baked potato ,I literally had to go through and pick the chop beef, out to the point I got tired, and I threw the baked potato in trash. The sausage wasn't even tender. I would never come to this place ever again I always try to support my black owned businesses, but not when they give half ass service and food. Ps. We the black community don't owe you nothing so stop acting like it and do your job and cook good food and give good service good day. read more

I have been hearing the hype of this place where and tried it out and I'm not the one that normally do reviews. But I went today and I'm going to take the rib s was dry they give you the end piece and I didn't like it at all I have way more better ribs than this I'm not going to tell no one not to go there because this is my opinion but I will say it's a two out of 10 on the rib. read more

I made it here just a little before they closed so there were no sides. That was an indication that the food was good to me. It was. The chopped beef and the ribs were really good. Sauce was delicious. Meat was not too smoky. It was perfect bbq. Service was fast and friendly. Cash only business. read more

Please bring back the jalapeños and pickles for the Big Heavyweight and Lightweight. Pretty please! Give us the option. The combination was stellar. I have been rocking with Kooly's since it was on Bonnie View. I will keep rocking with Kooly's. Please go on and get a hot link sandwich. A Heavyweight potato. Anything they have try it and you will like it. Your taste buds will be happy. read more

The baked potato was cool, I got brisket and link. I did not care for the rib plate in which I got baked beans and green beans as the sides. The Texas toast is just regular white bread. Overall it was cool. I personally wouldn't order it again I'm sure they have their target audience that loves it. It just doesn't tickle my fanny. read more

Good , wish they would give you at least a lil extra sauce on the potato but next time I know to see if I can pay for more, fire fs

Got takeout of the massively gargantuan BBQ potato. Delicious. Meats were juicy. So much of everything on it. Four of us had lunch from that one potato. Will have to return to check out the other foods on the menu. read more

Food is so good that if I'm having a bad day the food alone would change it to an automatic good day. Hands down great. Cash only but worth a stop at an ATM read more

I went back when they were in Bonnieview. Based on that viral video...yea you know which one. Some damn good bbq. They are now in Illinois where I grew up. The brisket nachos are insanely good. The big heavyweight is my go to and never disappoints. They have some really good sauce. That lip smacking kind. Can't wait to go back even though I live 30 mins away! read more

Will never go back to this place,food is cold and bad customer service is even worse save your time and money don't go to the Illinois location. read more

THIS FOOD IS AMAZIN! I get the brisket baked potato! omg so delicious!!!!!!!! worth every penny!!

I've eaten at Kooly's a hand full of times now and let me just say, they do not disappoint. I'm always iffy about where I get BBQ from because some restaurants do not live up to their name, but Kooly's does. The meat is always tender and juicy and their sides are great too! Also, you get enough food for your money's worth. FYI, since they've moved to a bigger location earlier this year, you can now eat inside. And, they only accept cash now. read more

Cash only.....Cash only....Cash only Customer service- 10/10 Wait time- minimal Portions - Generous Pricing - Fair market prices Cleanliness- 10/10 I'll never eat at any other BBQ places again. This is the 1 & my forever spot. Finally a place that will give you what you pay for portion wise. Everything about this place impressed me from the sweet cashiers to the food. This place could slap some sauce on a piece of bread & I'd eat it lol. My food is the freaking bomb - straight up! Don't walk but RUN to this place. I live in farmers Branch and don't care how long the drive is, I've got to try everything on the menu now. I ordered a rib, sausage & brisket knockout read more

I purchased a heavyweight potato with chopped beef and links. I was not pleased with it. The beef was rubbery and fatty. The links was hard and dried out. I have purchased the heavyweight several times but it has been awhile. For $18 it was a waste of money. I would have taken it back but it was a distance to do so. Next time if a next time, I will definitely check my order before leaving. read more

It was an awesome experience. Friendly staff and quick services. Lastly, the food did not disappoint. It was very well portioned and look exactly like the pictures. Well worth the price. Will definitely continue to visit! read more

First and foremost CASH ONLY. This place is definitely a whole in the wall. The portions are HEFTY. The prices are average. The only thing I didn't like is that everything is a la carte and depending on what you get, that's not a problem. I got the brisket sandwich. It was pretty good, full of flavor and tasty. Don't expect full service. You order your food at the counter, again, CASH ONLY. I love how they have their menu with visuals on the wall. It allows you know exactly what you are getting. The reason why I don't give them five stars is because THEY DON'T ANSWER THEIR PHONE and they allow smoking indoors. read more

Flavorful brisket on the heavy weight potato. Will come back to try all the other meats

Only took off a start because they're cash only. If they don't want to accept cards, maybe a zelle/business cash app account for those that don't carry cash. Besides that...the food was really great!!! I got a loaded potato and my sister got brisket nachos. Both were a 9, easy! read more

I ordered a loaded baked potato and the taste was good but the meat had a lot of fat . I would have given this place a 4 if the brisket on the potato didn't have 90% fat. read more

On July 2, I went to Kooly's BBQ because I have heard of their fabulous baked potatoes from a friend. I decided to look up the reviews and saw that they were very well rated. I have been craving this baked potato for months. When I finally got a chance to order, I was slightly confused by the menu, decided on the Heavyweight baked potato and I was blown away by how hearty and delicious this potato was. This is now my favorite barbecue baked potato place. Hands-down the best I've had in forever. read more

I got the heavyweight potato and it was HUGE! Second time having it and it was just as good as i remember from 2 years ago. I don't like the fake bacon bits though, they can do without or i wish they were real. This place is cash only! Also good luck getting them to answer the phone read more

Can you imagine a potato that over 1lb, and filled so much smoked GOODNESS that it'll take either a big appetite or you and a friend to finish it! So after reading about Koolys and finding out it was rather close we decided to give it a try. WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PLACE!!??? Due to covid constraints, Koolys takes orders from a small window at the Restaurant, it's a small place and lines on Friday can get long but it's worth the wait. I being "greedy" ordered the "Heavyweight" the name says it all; it was a gigantic potato filled with butter, sour cream, chopped brisket, and smoked sausage, it's then smothered in melted cheese topped with green onions and covered in bacon bits. Whoa...it was AWESOME! The service was quick and courteous and I most definitely will be going back! Try it out you won't be sorry. read more
