So my girlfriend said "oh, we are meeting her son and his wife at this barbecue place off of Greenville," and as I do as a Yelper, I started pulling up pictures on Yelp and honestly I wasn't impressed with some of the pictures, but let me tell you once we got our food and sat down and started eating, I was like DANG!! this is actually really good!! The brisket was nice and fatty and juicy, well seasoned. The sausage glistened and was very good. The sides were also really good from the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The service was welcoming and fast. It was late in the evening on a Friday night and it was pretty empty that night, but that was ok. We will come back for sure. They food is on point. read more

The only good thing was the brisket. Brussels had no flavor, and they were hard. The baked beans very mediocre I'd rather have canned. Bbq sauce was good I'll say. But I'm highly disappointed. Service was shit. They said "we are out of a lot of stuff" "idk if we even still make the chicken" it was just pathetic. Giving very careless service. Even when I came and went from the front door- bartender seemed like he hated his life. This was my first visit and I was thinking it was a restaurant- no, definitely more cafeteria vibes. And I was hoping the food was gonna be better bc I saw good reviews, but nope. I promise you I will never go back there. I'm disgusted with everything. Don't know why there were any good reviews in the first place I had better food and service at a fast food place. I'm mad I wasted my gas money and $25. Trash. Maybe terminate everybody, and start over bc this place isn't going anywhere but down. I never leave reviews this bad but I'm legit disgusted by the entire experience thanks to the staff giving off so much "I don't care" energy. read more

I went here with a friend for lunch and the food was excellent as usual. I ordered the two meat platter which comes with 1/2 pound of meat and two sides. I had the smoked turkey and pepper sausage. The turkey is the best in Dallas. It was slightly smoky and incredibly tender. The sausage was mild but good flavor with no big pieces of fat or crispy bone pieces. The sides were good. I had beans, which has brisket in it, and Cole slaw. The slaw could have used more dressing but at least it was not mayo based. You walk down a line and choose what you want. At the end there are pickles, onions, and other toppings. I got some bread and butter pickles and they were spicy but good. The service was friendly and efficient. The ambience is exactly what you would expect at a BBQ restaurant. Parking is free and not hard to find. Overall, and excellent lunch. I think next time I might try one of the sandwiches for lunch. read more

When in Texas, BBQ is the way to go. I ordered wagyu briskets, pork ribs and stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon. For the sides, i had the brussels sprouts and coleslaw. The Brussels were so good. They put dried berries and almonds in it. The briskets were so juicy and tender. The only disappointment was when i got the meat, they were towards the cold side. read more

Overall, I dont think I will come back. The service was great, staff members were super nice but the food was pretty disappointing. Ordered: beef burnt ends, wagyu brisket, brisket (moist), sausage, mac and cheese and potato salad. When they were silcing the briskets, it looked delicious since you could see how moist it was. But, it ended up being very dry and lacked flavor. Burnt ends were hard and super chewy. The sausage was the only meat that was solid. The side dishes were decent. Considering all the other BBQs available, this was disappointing. read more

OAK'D BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

So, this is my first time here at this location, and I've been meaning to try it. It's a barbecue place, and I'm really glad I came in. The people in line are amazing--very friendly and energetic. They make you feel welcome and give off good vibes. I ordered the three-meat plate with brisket, turkey, and sausage, and then the guy asked, "Do you wanna try a Texas Twinkie?" It's a jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in Wagyu meat. Oh my God, it was so damn good--I wanted to get another one. This is a must-try. The brisket was tender and flavorful, the mac and cheese was delicious, and so were the beans. I sat down at the bar. They have a full bar with beer on tap and can mix good classic cocktails. Kevin is an amazing bartender; he made me a negroni and an old-fashioned--full of energy, a great guy. So if you're in the Greenville area and want some good barbecue, come out and try them. I guarantee you'll love this place--you won't regret it. It's a nice, chill vibe with good energy. Oh, and they also have an outdoor patio. read more

We've been going to Oak'd for several years now and I had previously reviewed it, giving it very high marks in all areas. In fact, I was not even planning on writing this review, but today's dining experience cannot go without my sharing some thoughts on it. Over the years, we've always enjoyed Oak'd and even felt comfortable and confident enough in the quality of food to invite out of town guests to join us for some good Texas BBQ at Oak'd Prior to today's visit, our most recent visit was about six months ago, and even then we noticed a little slippage in quality. Although then it had mostly to do with the Sides and not so much to do with meat offerings. Today, it was everything, except the service and staff which as always, was excellent! Today, we sought to order a Beef Rib, but the Ribs were about two hours out from being ready, so at the recommendation of the Meat Man doing the carving, we opted for variety; my wife ordered the Two Meat Plate and I had the Three Meat. My wife chose a double portion of "moist" Wagyu Brisket from the "Point," and I ordered moist Wagyu Brisket, the Garlic and Black Pepper Sausage Link and, Pork Spare Ribs. Sadly and much to our dismay, all of the moist Brisket lost almost all of its moistness and succulence by the time we reached our table! Likewise, the Spare Ribs ended up also being more on the dry side, rather than moist and tasty. The Garlic-Black Pepper Sausage was tasty and ended up being the highlight of my meal. For Sides, my wife and I shared Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Cauliflower, BBQ Baked Beans, Collard Greens, and Apple Cider Coleslaw. The Brussel Sprouts had little flavor from the Balsamic seasoning and were quite drenched and oily/greasy. The Cauliflower was hit and miss, with some pieces over-done. The Beans were heavy on the jalapeño spice, about a "3" on the heat scale for me, a "5" for my wife. The Beans were not what I would consider "BBQ Baked," because there was no real sweetness to them, at all. It could be, that in the past the Beans were exactly like they were today and I just ate them without really expecting any sweetness, since I do like Charro Beans (and the Beans at Oak'd are somewhat flavored like Charros), and previously, I was not missing any sweetness in the meal overall. Today, however, I was missing the sweetness, because the BBQ Sauce was strong in vinegar/acidity and totally lacked sweetness. So, I was yearning for something sweet and it just never really came! I hoped for sweetness in the Coleslaw, but that too was only minimally sweet, before being overpowered by the taste of apple cider vinegar. And, because neither the BBQ Sauce nor the Beans, nor the Coleslaw had any real sweetness to them, I totally left my Dill Pickle Chips alone and untouched. And, I as well held off dousing some vinegar over my Greens, as I normally would, because I was just done with the acidity level of the meal. Flavor-wise, I think I would have enjoyed the Greens, were I to be eating them apart from the meal with say, a slice of cornbread. But, that wasn't on the menu today. In addition to that above, the regular BBQ Sauce was also a little bit spicy; about a "1" on the heat scale. I'm not really a fan of Carolina (Mustard-based) Sauce but, to me, even the Carolina Sauce had a hint more sweetness than the regular Sauce. I was really taken aback! It is noteworthy that the Dill Chips, Onion Slices, and Freshly Sliced Jalapeño that I received were all very fresh! But, I only ate a little of the Onions and Jalapeño Slices. I would like to think and hope that today's experience at Oak'd was an anomaly or one off, but most of what we experienced seemed more like failings in quality control. And with that, it will likely take a serious hankering for BBQ and us being in the neighborhood, to make us want to eat at Oak'd again... at least for a long while. I hope should you give Oak'd a try, there will have been some attention given to quality control, including verifying some recipes to ensure flavor profiles are up to par. As mentioned, the staff at Oak'd is and always has been great, so for their sake I would like to see this business succeed! Best of luck, should you give it a go! Eat well. Be well. Cheers! read more

Of course I had to try the four meat combo on my first visit to Oak'd. i got brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, and turkey. The other three were good (burnt ends a little dry), but I mist say the turkey was great! It tasted like there was a savory marinade applied before smoking the turkey breast. I like that they cut all of the meat right in front of you as well. The team was friendly, but a little more reserved than generally at restaurants. Being a weekday at lunchtime, the dining area was a bit slower than expected, but still clean and well kept. read more

OAK'D BBQ - Interior at lunchtime- a little slow for a weekday around noon. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I am a born and bred native New Yorker who was traveling for business when I was directed to OAK'D BBQ, which thrilled me as a barbecue fan who had not dabbled in Texas's cuisine. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. First, a caveat: the ordering process may be a little unique to a nor'easter like myself. You read the menu off a chalkboard wall, and the burgers have a separate sheet of paper to customize. Food is by the pound, so guesstimate how hungry you are and lean in on the friendly staff who welcomed a real New Yawker like me who definitely looked out of place. Everyone got a smattering of different items; I had the ribs which were as divine as you would expect: saucy, juicy, falling off the bone. Additionally, I tacked on some Brussel sprouts (for health, obviously) which were good (not quite great, but also the least important part of the meal), some mac and cheese (top notch), and chicken wings. Let me pause right here and say, as chicken wings are my second favorite food, I simply wanted to test the waters, but oh. My. Lord. These are by far the best wings I've ever had. No sauce needed, they were dry-rubbed to perfection, with a salty bite of some herbs and flavors I could scarcely identify but absolutely demolished nonetheless. I'll say it one more time: best. Wings. Ever. The interior was a great Texan vibe, with a bar in the corner serving all your Dallas faves, though we declined drinking (this time). Real casual, spacious, apropos to the area. Again, staff were friendly and accommodating (and immediately knew we were tourists, must be the accent). If you're in Dallas and want to try to local cuisine, this is the place you're thinking of. Run, don't walk. read more

Amazing BBQ spot with generous portion sizes and tons of meat and sides options. Ordering is done at the counter and you can buy meats by the pound or as a plate with 2-4 meats and 2 sides for dine in or takeout. We got the brisket, ribs, and burnt ends. The brisket was the highlight of the meal, it was so incredibly juicy and tender, decided to get an extra portion the moment they sliced into it. For sides, there's a range of hot and cold sides. We got baked beans which were very hearty and cucumber salad was a light, refreshing touch to this BBQ plate. Beyond the food, this restaurant is very down to earth with self seating indoors, outdoor on the patio, or at the bar. No worrying about servers interrupting you mid chew. Overall this is an incredible spot for a great BBQ meal and I'm looking forward to coming back for more of their amazing brisket. read more

OAK'D BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've been to just about every DFW bbq restaurant and this is by far the BEST BBQ place. The brisket was tender!! It's prime meat or wagyu which makes a tremendous difference in comparison to choice or select quality of meat. The brisket was tender, juice and perfection. Same with the chicken. 10 out of 10. Excellent work! When you walk in to the restaurant, you order your food and they serve you. Then you take your plate and sit wherever. They do not have servers so you are responsible to take your dirty tray and put it up which is great. The atmosphere is great for large parties and the outdoor patio is also nice during warm weather days. We also got the pecan pie, definitely homemade and that was also exceptional! I highly recommend this BBQ restaurant you won't be disappointed! read more

OAK'D BBQ - 1 lb of brisket and smoked chicken, coleslaw (ith apple cider vinaigrette) and Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Office catering is decent for sure. Plentiful and full of options. I would say very typical barbecue in mass.

Texas BBQ at its finest! The chopped brisket and spicy bbq sauce were on point. Not an ounce of fat, but chock full of flavor. It's obvious that the pit master takes pride in his/her craft. We also loved the Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes which were mouthwateringly delicious. Clean, fantastic service and as authentic as it gets. Plus bonus points for parking.

Texas BBQ in the homeland of BBQ Parking: Easy! Lots of space as it is in a strip mall of sorts Drinks: Went for lunch and we had lemonade. Was quite good! Food: sooooo many options. We had wagyu brisket, regular brisket, sausage, Mac and cheese, collared greens, Brussels sprouts, pork ribs and French fries. Yes...a feast at lunch! Everything tasted delicious. I felt my wagyu was a bit too fatty but everyone else loved it. The Mac and cheese was AMAZING!!! I also appreciated that they served the Brussel sprouts without bacon. They also had beef ribs available for those who don't eat pork. Service: one of the guys behind the serving area seemed to be annoyed we had so many questions. We aren't from Texas and were just visiting so would have liked him to be a bit more understanding. The rest of the folks were super nice so we quickly forgot about the grumpy cat. Atmosphere/vibe: went for lunch. It was fairly empty but that was just fine with us! Age group: I'd imagine all! Bathroom: worked and was clean so A+ from me! Return: sure! read more

Went for the food, but stayed for the atmosphere. Everything was solid, but Kevin the bartender really stood out--great energy and even better drinks. And the gumdrop buttons?

I'm still stuffed. I ordered way too much food, if there's such a thing, although I really enjoyed myself. Next time I only need one side. If more than one person is ordering I'd say mix them up so you can share. This was a nice smaller and cozier version of Terry Black's. Good size pork ribs although I wish I had four bones instead of two. I love ribs. These were fall off the bone. I wish I hadn't put the pickles on top of my greens but that's my eyes just wanting everything. Definitely a place convenient to my location and I will be back to try other options I'm curious about. Back to the ribs, I'd rate them above average to good but I love ribs so they hit the spot. Only one sauce choice so that was strange to me, and no Peach Cobbler! Good counter service. Definitely will visit again. Nothing to complain about, maybe I spent a little more than expected but it was all fun. 7.5 to 8 out of 10 on my other scale. read more

Okay so I've eaten here twice and have no idea how I haven't reviewed yet. This place is a) delicious and b) has such large portions good luck thinking you'll not leave with a doggie bag. I had a buddy recommend this place to me but bbq is so hit or miss. These guys and gals are all hot. No miss. I've had a three meat plate (brisket, sausage, turkey) and the governor sandwich with ribs on the side. The meat? The moist brisket you almost need to eat with a spoon it's so tender. The ribs have the right amount of snap and tenderness with incredible oak flavor. The turkey, was good but there was so much I don't know what family they thought I was feeding but yeah. They have two sauces. The more orange one and the darker red one. My taste buds gravitated to the darker one. Was perfect on my sandwich. Not that the other was bad, just wasn't doing it for me. Their sides are incredible. Even the zucchini. Honestly a great experience both times. Will be back. read more

OAK'D BBQ delivered a true Texas BBQ experience that did not disappoint. You self-order by waiting in a line and you watch the team prepare your tray (think Subway style). During busy hours this can be tedious but it is fun to customize your order and see the meat be freshly sliced. The ribs fell off the bone and the brisket was fantastic!! I also enjoyed their sides. I went home smelling like barbecue, even though we ate outside, and that's how I know OAK'D does BBQ right. read more

Worst beef rib I've ever had. Gristle and fat, .92 of a pound. Ordered a pound plus and the bbq cutter had no clue what he was doing for starters. Told one of what appeared to be a manager whom kept his arms folded and stated "sorry about that". Then kept watching tv ... Unfortunately the last three times I've been in the bbq has been sub standard. The staff is mediocre. I won't be returning read more

First and last time trying Oak'd. Not sure how they have any good reviews. The worst bbq I've had in my 25+ years in TX. Walked in to pick up my online order on a Sunday around 4:15. Restaurant was almost empty which should have been a sign. Ordered for 3 people. Three 2 meat plates. Everyone got ribs as one of their meats. Barely any meat on the bone. Tasted okay. My husband got the black pepper sausage and said it was good. I got the "wagyu" brisket. Asked for "moist". I don't know where the "wagyu" or the "moist" brisket was because it wasn't in my meal. I received the most bland, dry, tough brisket I've ever had in my life. No smoky flavor at all. We both got baked potatoes as one of our sides and I paid extra to get bacon for both. One potato was half rotten. It was obvious. Whoever cooked and served this just didn't care. The bacon for both was served in a separate container. I tasted it. It was sweet, spicy, and SPOILED AKA RANCID AKA BACON GONE BAD. Sigh. My husband and I both tasted and it was obvious the pork had gone bad. It wasn't hard to tell. Who is working in this kitchen and do they care? The bacon had to have been bad when it was cooked. I expect bbq to be expensive but spending almost $100 on a meal that was barely edible is beyond frustrating. I seriously don't understand how they're open. read more

Shopping in the area and wanted to grab BBQ with a friend from out of town so she could try Texas brisket. This place was conveniently close by, so we gave it a try. Overall, it was okay! Nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary. The meats were decent, the sides were alright, and the variety of pickles and onions were nice. Price point is fair. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, ample parking in the shopping center lot (and more behind the restaurant). - Reservations? No, this is a casual BBQ joint. Walk in and order! - Patio seating? Yes, indoor and outdoor seating is available. FOOD RATINGS: - Brisket (4/5): Brisket met our Texas BBQ standards. We ordered regular, so it was pretty fatty, but very juicy and fall apart in your mouth. - Brisket burnt ends (3/5): These were a little too burnt for my taste. Very dry. Had to smother them in BBQ sauce. They would be nicer tossed in sauce. - Jalapeño cheddar sausage (3/5): Decent sausage. Not the best I've had but not bad. Okay flavor. - Mac'n'cheese (4/5): Good mac. Better flavor than most joints. Creamy and cheesy! - Collard greens (3/5): These looked like the best option from the hot side veggies. They were just okay. Could use some more flavor. Loved that they offered pickled onions and raw onions, as well as 3 types of fresh pickles: sweet (my favorite), classic dill, or spicy. We gave all 3 a try! read more

Came in with a small group after dinner (about 7pm), plenty of tables available and still a lot of options to choose from on the menu! The food and bar are on different ends and are ordered separately. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. The food was good, the brisket was better to me than the burnt ends. A couple of us went in wanting beef rib, but it was sold out! I enjoyed the mac and cheese for sure! I wished the brussels were crispy but still they were good. Loved the cheesecake! Took that back to the hotel and enjoyed every bite! read more

Walk in with the menu on the wall, tells you what they have and what is sold out. It's like a cafeteria line you stand in. You order your meats first, they slide down your tray to the next person and you tell them what side you want, then there's the desserts, then make your way to the register, right before that is where they have the sauces laid out to grab, there was two this night which seems like a regular bbq sauce and then a spicy bbq sauce. The servings are huge and I ended up taking the leftovers home. What I order was the two meats plate and I picked: wagyu brisket (could not tell the difference from a regular brisket) and pork burnt ends ( you can choose either beef or pork). For my sides I ordered: 3 cheese Mac and greens both tasted great. Place is well kept, has a bar set up in the corner with TV's to watch sports. Large enough space for big groups. Service was also great and nothing to complain about. read more
