Mike Anderson's BBQ is one of the family's go to place to bring out of towner friends and family! The brisket is particularly impressive, with a perfectly smoky flavor and a tender, juicy texture that pulls apart effortlessly. The sausage is flavorful, with a nice snap, and pairs well with their house-made barbecue sauces, which offer a good balance of tang and sweetness. They offer a lot of delectable sides but the cornbread loaded with cheese as a side is a must try! read more

My wife and I have been going to Mike's for decades, it doesn't change for a reason. Don't screw up a good thing. Most consistent tasting great BBQ and sides in big D. read more

The ribs were fine, sauce light and smoky, sides simple. Overall a meal that was okay but not memorable.

Mike Andersen's BBQ House offers a quintessential Texas barbecue experience. The ambiance immediately transports you to a classic Texas setting, with rustic graphics and decor. The setup here is a straight-forward cafeteria-style, where you tell your server what kind of meat and sides you want, and slide your tray to the end where you pay. One cool feature is their self-serve area where you can load up on slaw, onions, and pickles to add to your meal for free. They recently updated their rewards system, but unfortunately, old points from years ago don't transfer over, which may be disappointing for longtime customers like my aunt. The free soft-serve vanilla ice cream and cake cones offered at the end of the meal was a sweet gesture to encourage another visit. The BBQ plate was decent and met my southern food expectations in terms of flavor (smokey BBQ, buttery cheesy grits, and briny sides), the ambiance was very "Texas", and the self-service options for sides were convenient. The price seemed a little high for $18 a plate if I may say so myself for southern BBQ eats. I will say it kept me full all day so that is a plus. The hours are also strange opening at 10am and closing at 2:30pm Monday through Saturday. I most likely will not be back in the UT Southwestern area again as this a one-off visit, but you are more than welcome to give this place a try if you are around and are craving BBQ! read more

I've eaten here several times, and I'll be there tomorrow. Mike cooks and served his exceptionally good, can't wait for BBQ.

This was a local hotel worker's suggestion. When you walk in it looks like the place is full of memorabilia and cool things to look at. When ordering your food you can see mostly everything in front of you like an assembly line. The food was ok. Not as satisfying as I would've liked for Texas BBQ. The brisket was tender and the chicken was moist and once the bbq sauce and pickles were added it made the sandwiches good. The peach cobbler was not made with enough love and the devilish eggs I did not get a chance to taste because I didn't realize until afterwards that it had meat inside, possibly pork. Overall it's not bad but also not the greatest. The price was also decent we spent about $30. read more

I've eaten here years ago, I won't say how long ago or I would date myself, LOL!! Anywho, I will say that's probably why I never came back, was because it wasn't memorable. I had a work lunch and the majority of the team wanted to eat here, so I had to suck it up and eat here again. Listen, it's definitely not the worse bbq, but it's not the best either. The brisket was a bit dry and the sausage link I had was good. The service was also good. Listen, I believe if you work in the Parkland hospital area, then this is your place to eat lunch because I saw a lot of Parkland employess here yesterday. read more

Mike Anderson's BBQ House - Sliced brisket sandwich with a jalapeño and cheddar cheese link It was alright, the bread was a bit tough though. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Drove down to Mike Anderson's from Carrollton to visit this place for lunch on the recommendation of a few friends who raved about the super spud they have on the menu. I ordered lean brisket, ribs, a hot link with a loaded baked potato. I also tried their cherry cobbler for dessert. The only thing I finished was the potato sans meat, it was really. The cobbler too was worthy of another visit. Sadly, the bbq was not for me. The brisket was lean (how I ordered it) and tough, and light on flavor, the same can easily be said of the ribs. The cost based on portion size is about average for Dallas. The link was right down the middle, not memorable and not bad. Service team is great, everyone is really nice. The environment definitely screams of local favorite. Not a place I'd visit again with intent, unless I wanted the cobbler, but I can see why the locals like it, they seem to really know their regulars. read more

Placed an order for 25 people .... 2 meats, 3 sides (baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw). NEVER AGAIN!! CONS: 1) Very disappointing when you are serving measured plates to ensure consistency amongst all guest in regard to quantity and quality. 2) Enough meat to feed only 10-15 people, and 3) enough coleslaw and baked beans to feed 50 of each dish. 4) Texas-sliced bread (2 loaves), 5) fatty brisket PROS: Sausage was perfectly seasoned, and each plate had 3-4 slices. Plenty of napkins, plasticware, plates, and BBQ sauce. More than enough onions, peppers, and pickles. read more

Still the best BBQ in Texas Mike Anderson is still the best ~ family tradition is rockin

Excellent BBQ spot! The food is amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. Friendly staff and great service. Definitely worth visiting again!

it was good experience food and vibe of bbq were in store but little pricey it worth to try

Thought we would stop for a quick lunch before our time at the range. Save yourself some time and energy and grab bbq from somewhere else. This is not the place. We both got the 3 meat plate. Brisket, ribs, sausage and 2 sides. I had okra and the dill potato salad. The wife had bbq beans and mustard potato salad that she added some relish too. The Brisket No flavor at all. You can tell it had been sitting as it had oxidized and stiffened up. The Sausage Although the Sausage had a nice snap, again no flavor. The Ribs When I say over smoked and tasted like creosote, plus they don't pull the membrane. I'm sorry, not the best bbq eating experience. The Ambiance Booth and table seating. Situated in the hospital district, I would say they are banking on hungry tired workers who just want something to eat to make it through. The Service It's cafeteria / buffet style. Grab your lunch tray, Mike cuts your meat the sends you on the way to get your sides. No real interactions with customers even after telling them it was our first time. Overall, not a good eating experience. Best thing I had on my plate was the okra. The best interaction was seeing a friend and sister in the faith we had not seen. Clearly we're we're sent here to see her come in. read more

Mike Anderson's BBQ House - BBQ Dinner Plate with 2 Sides (wife) - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

See all

The ambiance and service at this cafeteria style Texas Barbecue are quintessential Texas. Down home good folks serving up heaping helpings of pretty decent food. And while they are decent, they are not great, especially when compared in what has become a pretty crowded and competitive fiend of barbecue restaurants. Like many others, they are also a bit pricey. My Brisket sandwich and 2 sides set me back a little over $18 before taxes. The dinner plates run up into the low to mid 20's per plate. The sides I chose were fried okra, which was pretty good and Southern Mustard Tater Salad which was ok. The star here to me though was what they call "Granny's Peach Cobbler"...it was everything it's name sets the stage for and more! This place is not the greatest barbecue restaurant around but it IS a must try for anyone wanted quintessential Texas Barbecue! read more

Mike Anderson's BBQ House - Can't decide what kind of meat to get get to meet hoagie sandwich besides in the world here Great BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have only had their food one time and it was a delivery meal at work but I was impressed (would rate the takeout meal as a 4.5 but I'll round up)! My two sides were the stars of the show: I like that they seem to have sides that are combinations of foods: my pinto beans were jalapeno pinto beans with rice and brisket mixed in and it was almost a meal in itself. The green beans had ham and pieces of baked potato in them which I have never seen potatoes in green beans but everything was seasoned really well and I enjoyed it! Sausage sandwich was solidly good (not great) but the spicy BBQ sauce really helped raise it up. I can't wait to try more offerings and actually check it out in person. read more

One of the best in the business. Great food that will leave you wanting for more. Can't wait to come back!

I watched the death of an old friend just now. I've worked in the medical district for 25 years and had many a lunch at Mike Anderson's BBQ with friends, my dad, and at other times myself. It is delicious bbq. Today, I came to Mike Anderson's for the first time since the start of the pandemic. It was sad. Mike was as friendly to customers as always, but the restaurant has gone way off the deep end in anti-science, anti-Biden and anti-media. His signs are void of class and decorum. His wall stickers are blaring admissions to not understanding science. Actually has signs about truly believing the world is flat. And anti-Fauci. Were this to be an internally held viewpoint that you "take to the polls and to Jesus", I wouldn't have an issue. But a large blaring sign showing disrespect to a President is so declasse that it infuses the whole experience of a nice bbq shop with the hate and lack of decorum. Bbq turned Nascar rally. Yeah, the meat is good but the whole visual optics and meaning of those optics has killed the joy that used to be this place. Good luck, Mike. You're wrong on the science but worse is the restaurant's lack of class. I'm going to miss what I remmber of this place before it died. I cannot bring my money here again. read more

You will smell Mike Anderson 's BBQ House before you see it. It smells absolutely amazing! I got the Pulled Pork Sandwich Plate where you can pick any two sides. I got Garlic & cheddar smashed taters and Cheezy corn bake with Paulino and onion. It was incredible. We were in a big party where everyone got lots of different items on the menu and everyone was extremely happy with everything they got. I also recommend their homemade sweet tea. Please note that it is only open from 10 am till 2:30 pm and there was a line the whole time we were there. If you are in Dallas and want BBQ for lunch, this is the place to go! read more

It's unfortunate that the mostly recent and out of character one-star reviews many times have nothing to do with the quality of your BBQ and/or service. Eric S., for instance, says he enjoyed your place for 25 years--yet never once thought to give you a GOOD review--but just one month ago it all changed and he felt the need to provide a one-star rant? And Savannah... well... I've been to your place. If she saw a confederate flag hanging there, I think she was somewhere else? Or I'm losing my eyesight? Of all of Eric S's 10 reviews, 7 are one-star and just one is a five-star. Savannah's 32 reviews have 22 one-star and also just one five-star. That's probably all you need to know! i.e. your staff and customers are probably much happier without their presence! But enough about them! I've been to your place numerous times and have always had a great meal! The people working there including you, Mike, have always been nothing but nice to me and the prices are reasonable for the quality. You've catered my work events at least twice and everyone raved about your BBQ, including a group we had in from Brazil. In order to run a great BBQ joint you have to be a hard, dedicated worker. Thanks for the good job providing the DFW area with fantastic BBQ! read more

I must admit I haven't tried everything on the menu at Mike Anderson's, but what I have had has been really good Q. Fatty brisket was amazing, Ribs were perfect, and sides were delicious. MIke make's everyone feel right at home here, and his staff is always quick to take care of anything you need. While I know Mike has a great clientele, I am surprised at how many folks I talk to about barbecue, don't know anything about this place. In a way it's good cause it keeps the line down. LOL If you are looking for good Q, not a thing wrong with this place. read more

Mike has been slinging BBQ for 38 years - You can almost always find him chopping meat and slinging sides on the food line - be sure to say hi - Great dude. The condiments station is crazy good with multiple sauces, pickles, jalapeños and other great stuff to go with your BBQ. We loved the moist turkey and chopped beef - great sides as well. Stop-in to Mike Anderson's and say hey to the boss. Great food! read more

Okay food. Brisket is tender and moist with decent smoke flavor. Chicken thighs were disappointing, kind of dry and mealy. The ribs were okay. Not a lot of flavor but good texture. Sides of green beans and slaw were good. I didn't care for the sauce, very thick with a lot of salt and vinegar flavor. Free ice cream cones. It was decent barbecue but not much different from any of the half dozen bbq places within a five mile radius. My major complaint is the decor. Sure Mike likes to push the "Texas Redneck" vibe but his latest additions go a bit too far. Now let me preface this by saying I'm a heterosexual White man who is 61 years old and a veteran, so I'm not some whiny pinko millennial whatever. Hell I'm this place's total demographic. But with signs everywhere saying "Socialism Sucks", "We won't comply", "Fake News", etc...and especially the large "Let's Go Brandon" sign behind the serving line just made this place feel like the Alt-Right lunchroom and I'm sure that's what Mike wants it to be. I'm sure this review has just inspired more of the "Trump Win the Election" folks to make a special visit. And that's fine. The restaurant is doing a brisk business at lunch, even a lot of People of Color, but I wonder what his largely Hispanic staff think knowing how their boss feels about them and their families? read more

I was in town for work and Mike Anderson's BBQ House was recommended for some really good BBQ. I was not disappointed! I am not from Texas, so I am no BBQ connoisseur, but loaded baked potatoes are my favorite food of all time. I loved my Monster BBQ potato topped with plenty of beef brisket. The brisket was juicy and tender and the ratio of cheese, sour cream, butter, onions was spot on. Some places skimp, but they don't here! The line was a little slow, but I think that was more because the large group of people in front of me took their time. It is cafeteria style where you grab your tray, utensils, order your meats and then serve yourself the sides, drinks, and desserts you want. When I ordered my potato with brisket, it was almost instantaneous when I got my food. I didn't get any sides as my potato was enough. There is a little condiment bar after you pay (they use Square and do have a rewards program, but I wasn't asked to participate) and they also have free soft serve ice cream! Overall, great experience and I'll definitely be back for another potato the next time I'm in town. read more

Good BBQ and sides, awesome setup of self serve sides. I tried some Brisket, Turkey and Jalapeño sausage. The brisket was good, not robust with flavor and smoke, but it was tender and tasty for those who like a little less smoke and salt. The turkey was pretty good and you can't mess up jalapeño cheddar sausage. I really liked Mike's jalapeño sauce, just the right amount of heat. Mike himself is very friendly and gives great customer service. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a great lunch! read more

Excellent BBQ! We've never had a bad meal at Mike Anderson's, or left hungry. I think we've tried all of their meats at one time or another and have been more than pleased. My wife is a big fan of the dill potato salad. Don't miss the soft serve ice cream! read more

Bang average bbq, for a slightly higher price than what I expected. May have had something to do with the fact we came in 30 mins before closing, but the brisket was dry, the ruins were cold and the sides looked worse for wear. read more

Still on the venture to find a favorite BBQ joint... Cute place, lots of comfy seating, and dining in during COVID-19. I ordered my standby chopped brisket sandwich with Cheesy Corn Bake. The brisket was flavorful and juicy. Good amount of smoke. The corn bake was okay. I've learned that buffet bbq sides aren't my thing...typically lukewarm. Might try cold sides in the future. My husband had the sliced brisket/pulled pork with green beans. He absolutely loved his plate of food!! Might be his favorite place we've tried. In my comparison for my favorite bbq, I should have ordered the pork ribs...which I will do on my next visit. read more

Oh my goodness! Am I glad that I found this gem! We were in Dallas just for business and needed to eat. Found this on the map and as soon as we walked in we loved it! It's unique and it smelled wonderful! We were greeted by such a happy nice gentlemen behind the line counter chopping up some amazing smelling meat. Their sides were all amazing it was so hard to pick 2! I got the brisket sandwich with the bake with poblano peppers along with the fried okra.... first place I've been to here in Texas with fried okra YUM!! Their signature BBQ sauce is so good and thick! We are definitely going back when we are there again! read more
