Had a fabulous mixed plate of chicken and brisket at Off the Bone. Also terrific sides of corn, collard greens and coleslaw. I had gone to Terry Black's the day before and this was much better! read more

I stopped by here today for lunch and had an amazing meal. I had the 2 meat combo with Brisket and jalapeño cheese sausage with my 2 sides of fries and charro beans. The brisket was tender, juicy and very tasty. The sausage was good and I enjoyed their BBQ sauce with the sausage. Charro beans were good and the fries were seasoned with a good spice. I also got some of their peach cobbler. The server was very pleasant and accommodating we had a peasant discussion about their greens and the peach cobbler. She checked on multiple tables often and even heated up my cobbler and brought me ice cream to go with it. The building had adequate parking and the dining area was clean and pleasant. Over all I enjoyed my visit to OTB and would go back for more when I'm in the area. read more

Love it! We needed a place to eat a quick dinner, close to Edison's in Dallas where we were seeing a concert performance. We found Off the Bone Barbecue and decided to give it a try. They are 1 minute from Edison's. You can park at Edison's and walk here or park here in their free lot. Ordering is done at the counter. You pay when you order. Our meal was brought out to us. My wife and I shared a two meat plate with two sides as follows: - Pork Ribs (3 bones) - Jalapeño Cheddar Cheese Sausage (1 link sliced) - Baked Beans - Mac and Cheese - 2 Fresh Wheat Dinner Rolls The service was friendly and the food was very good. The ribs were truly fall-off-the-bone, tender, smoky and tasty. The sausage had a bit of a kick and was also tasty. The baked beans were thick and hearty and very good. The Mac n Cheese was cheesy and decent. The dinner rolls were fresh and soft and I used mine to make a sausage sandwich :) The pitmaster and owner, Dwight Harvey was there and was making the rounds of each table, checking with the patrons to see how their meals were. I got to meet Dwight and get a photo with him. Super nice guy. I look forward to the next time we get to eat at Off the Bone Barbecue and I will be trying their Brisket and Turkey. read more

I placed an order thru Uber Eats on yesterday and ordered the 3 meat with 2 sides plate. Ribs Sausage Brisket The best about the plate was the cornbread muffin. The nerve of them to sell this meat as ribs. Ribs are the shape of Brakes. I was given hunks of dried pork meat, even the bbq sauce couldn't save it. Greens were tasteless. 3 meat beans were ok if you like a lot of juice instead of the actually beans in the juice. Brisket, umm, no. Had so much better. I try to support our locals, but come on, it's becoming a rip off to sell some of the food you all are putting out there for the high prices. It's like the food became very more expensive while becoming unappetizing. It's getting harder and harder to go out and try some of the food now out of fear of throwing away your money. Cooking at home, is where it's at; unless you don't know how to cook. I tried you out Off the Bone, but never again. read more

Whoa! YEEEEE HAWWWW!!!! This. Is. Great. BBQ! So searching through Yelp and the Internet for "best BBQ" and of course, many have their opinions. So I went with my wallet. All the other celebrated places were SO expensive! I was shocked at the BBQ prices here in Dallas. So looking at 4+ star BBQ restaurants, I picked this one. AND I'M SO GLAD I DID! It obviously has been in business for a long time. It's in an older part of Dallas, and quite frankly, I'll just say that I was glad to pass the police station! LOL Naw, but although the neighborhood is older, it's not sketch and seems pretty safe walking from the close by DART station. I had the 3 meat plate with ribs, chicken and brisket. Oh my. My first bite was the brisket. Heaven. Tender. Flavorful. Then the rib. Yep, it fell off of the bone. Then the chicken. Nice smokey flavor with a great spiced skin. The potato salad was good. The fried okra was amazing, it had a crispy thin batter that was perfect. The whole wheat dinner roll was good. My palate and tummy are in heaven! I'm so glad I came here, it was a good call! Met the owners, good peeps. The recipes are her grandmother's. The young lady who took my order was friendly. It's not a fancy place, but it's definitely a place where you would expect to have great barbecue. Oh, and on the way out, I bought their peach cobbler to eat later. And it is delicious! Some BBQ places just don't have good sides or good enough sides. You gotta have good sides! and better have good desserts. This is a winner! You must eat here. Ditch the high-end places. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

So I had the 3 meats and 2 sides. The Ribs: Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection The Brisket: Juicy, and seasoned nicely The jalapeno cheddar sausage packed with flavor & heat. The mac & cheese & fried okra were good too. The TVs were great for watching sports and a friendly atmosphere & very Affordable for the quality & quantity of food. The only downside was the Lack of Smoky Flavor: While the ribs and brisket were delicious, they could have benefited from a stronger smoky flavor. Overall, Off the Bone BBQ seems like a good spot for satisfying your barbecue cravings. The ribs, brisket, and sausage are all good, and the atmosphere is inviting. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a good meal and catch a game, this might be the place for you. read more

Most underrated hard working folks out there they work hard on their establishment and have the best barbecue sandwich and ribs

Off the Bone Barbeque is a family owned barbecue joint in downtown Dallas that serves up barbecue ribs, smoked brisket, and all your favorites in a non-descript location. What was most surprising about my trip, however, wasn't the ribs or smoked meats. I discovered the Chocolate Chip Pecan cookie. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food) Atmosphere - You'll find Off the Bone Barbecue south of downtown Dallas. Plenty of seating on my Thursday 12:30 PM visit. I didn't find the long lines at other DFW BBQ joints, nor did I find the same charm. But it clean and seating was not a problem. 1/2 Star. Service - The staff was very friendly. We placed our order at the counter, and later a server brought out our food. They were fast, efficient, friendly, and always smiling. 1 Star. Food - I ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and ribs. It was good but not great. The bark on the brisket had plenty of flavor and was tender on the fatty side, but I had to dip the rest in the excellent, tangy barbecue sauce. True to the name of the restaurant, the meat fell off the bone of my ribs. They were short - like St. Louis style ribs. Tender and when dipped in the sauce, my bite was superb. But both meats lacked a heavy smoke flavor that I've grown accustomed to and expect. To finish my meal, I had a Chocolate Chip Pecan cookie. Wow. This was not only the best item I ate at Off the Bone Barbecue, but the moist cookie with generous amounts of chocolate and pecan was one of the best cookies I've ever had anywhere. 1 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - No. While there are better barbecue options in DFW, the Chocolate Chip Pecan cookie was fantastic. However, I'd rather return because of my meal, not my dessert. No Stars. read more

Was going to a place nearby for lunch recently, and when I got there I didn't like what I saw. So I pulled up Yelp to see what was close. Fortunately I was about two blocks from Off The Bone. Plenty of parking, nice looking spot, friendly staff. I asked the cashier what she recommended, and she said brisket and pulled pork. This surprised me, because ever since I moved from Louisiana to Texas, I haven't found a single place that did pork right... and Texas BBQ spots certainly don't typically promote their pork. I ordered sliced brisket, pulled pork, queso mac and cheese and green beans. Took my seat and waited just a couple of minutes before my food was brought to the table. Working my way through the plate, here's what I found: Pulled pork: Spectacular. Tender, seasoned, exactly how I cook it at home. Mac and cheese: It's made with queso, which offers a little kick. I had low expectations at first, but it's one of the best versions I've ever had at a bbq place. Green beans: Perfect. Cooked down, fresh, meaty flavor. Not mushy but firm. Brisket: First bite was amazing. The bark had a great flavor, and the meat was relatively tender. Unfortunately here's where OTB earned four stars and not five. The rest of my brisket was dry. All the bark had a decent flavor, but the brisket fell apart on my fork and crumbled in my mouth. Extremely dry and disappointing. For the rest of my brisket I just ate the bark. That said, I will definitely be back. Overall the meal was way above average and these guys have earned their high ratings. I enthusiastically recommend that you check it out. read more

Almost everything was great... minus the cornbread. I'm used to a buttery cornbread. This one was not so much. The food came to the table quick. We ordered the family meal. The mac+cheese and the greens were FIRE! Needed more of the sides. The meats (brisket, chicken, ribs, and sausage) were delicious. Besides a cowboys helmet on a counter, the restaurant had a great vibe. The rolls were slamming too read more

1st off...they close early - 4p - Monday-Wednesday ... 7p - Thursday-Saturday. So, that said, plan appropriately. This place is NOT on my normal traffic pattern. When I go here, I want to go here. This was my 1st visit back since pre-COVID...so, its been a while. For starters, RIBS...yes, pork is a blank canvas with absolutely no flavor in the natural state. This establishment hits it in flavor with the right seasonings and right amount of smoke and time. A very, very good bite. Second...they are one of a few places left that smoke chicken on the bone. I ordered my 2-meal plate with a 1/4 chicken-white. Really good chicken. Nice mild smoke. Good seasoning and still moist. Sides are sides...they can make or break the experience. The green beans w/ potatoes and the BBQ baked beans were both very, very good and flavorful. So...if you're nearby and want a nice BBQ experience, pull in and check this place out. read more

Food was delicious! EXCELLENT customer service! Kiki was a dream! Delivery guys perfect as well!! Will definitely be ordering from them again! Treat yourself to Off the Bone Barbeque...you won't regret it!! read more

Back to heavenly roots. A week of seafood in Cali to the best BBQ in Texas! I remember when I first brought my sister here in 2020. We loved the fried corn and today we decided we would drive 45 min for lunch. Sooo glad we did. The corn is soooo dang good. But that's not all that's good. The ribs, as the name says fall of the bone and is seasoned perfectly. Not overly smoky with the right amount of flavor and tenderness. I just luv em'. Their ribs have just the right amount of fat to make them moist and tasty. I'm not a BBQ sauce guy but I really like Off the Bones. The potato salad, made in house is tart, sweet and so tangy. Again a must try. Their greens beans are freshly cooked and prepared and soooo good. I love the chunks of potatoes cooked in with them. Finally, the queso Mac n cheese is Devine. The colored greens were seasoned and so good. The right amount of pork and fat back warming my taste buds. Rarely, can you find such great food prepared with love and that warms your soul. Glad we ordered enough to dinner tonight or left overs tomorrow. The folks here are friendly and service is top notch! read more

After getting in a bit of sightseeing around Dallas, I had to deal with my appetite. While in Dallas, I had to get some barbecue. Off the Bone Barbeque was one of the restaurants nearby where I was, so I tried it out. The brisket was so tender that all I had to do was look at it, and it fell apart. That may be an exaggeration, but that was some tender brisket. The baked beans hit the spot. And the cornbread muffin that came with it was a bonus. I had a slice of peach pie for carryout and it needed a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go with it. I'd have to try a few other items from their menu the next time I am in Dallas. My friends seemingly couldn't recommend any good barbecue restaurants. Well, I can, and Off the Bone Barbeque is on the list. read more

This place wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. They had baby back ribs that was pretty good but could've been smoke a little more. The brisket was dry and didn't have much flavor: the sausage wasn't handmade like the third bbq place I been to that have the exact same sausage. The chicken was over smoked an dry but rib was really good. The beans was one of the best beans I ever had at a bbq place, also the cookie was the best thing they had read more

We dined here tonight, and loved the place: Service was friendly and solid, great people. Vibe was industrial modern, nice cool space on a hot day. Food wad very good: Brisket moist and tender, with more large fat chunks than a reasonable amount and an unusual smoky coffee flavor on the rub Ribs delicious, perfectly executed Sauce excellent- thin, vinegary, and delish Three meat beans were a disappointment- mostly all juice in the small cup, and very few beans or meats, like a broth with a few incidental beans and meat chunks Green beans nicely seasoned and cooked Slaw was unique, with a touch of blue cheese and bacon One of our fave BBQ joints in the city now, recommended. read more

Pretty good bbq place on the south side of downtown. Don't be fooled by the "Southside" part. They've cleaned up this area pretty well. This isn't your over the top bbq place, but it's a mom and pop place. It's a real small place. You don't watch them cut up your meat like normal places, you just order from the front counter and go sit down, and they will bring it out to you. I will say, for the price of the bbq, it's pretty dang cheap. It doesn't look like inflation has had them raise prices, and if they did, then it was really cheap. What I got would have been $60 at your traditional places. But I was under $48 for a 2 meat and 3 meat plate. Prices are really good here. Food is good. I will say, I'm not sure if their bbq sauce wasn't store bought, because it definitely tasted very familiar to a store bought one. Other than that, good place to eat. read more

I heard of this place and a couple people that are from dallas said that it was GOOD, so I had to try for myself! I came around 1pm for a chopped beef sandwich for lunch and the parking lot was packed out, so I knew it had to be a hit, it wasn't that busy when I walked in though surprisingly. A few people were sitting with their lunch date or group, I ordered to go and it was really quick. It's actually a beautiful sandwich from the bread to the meat to the sauce. (I'm glad there was extra someone forgot at the bar I decided to smash it immediately and had no regrets! Highly recommend! read more

Honestly, I visited this place years ago and it was horrible. Honestly, I cannot remember full details on why I was totally disgusted but it left me scared. Every time I pass the place I still get angry and usually comment . If anyone mention this place I voice MY opinion based on my experience. The inside and outside of the restaurant was clean . The barbecue smoked ribs were disappointing. Hopefully, they have changed it. I never see a crowd but they have been opened for years. read more

Lunch here today with my work group. Ordered the one meat meal and received pulled pork, macaroni and coleslaw. The macaroni and coleslaw were too die for, very unique with blue cheese and bacon in the slaw and the Mac NCheese they called Queso something or other. Fairly priced and arrived as soon as we sat down. read more

I tried this place while visiting Dallas for the weekend. I placed my order online and the food was ready pretty quickly. I ordered a loaded baked potato with brisket to share, and a 2 meat combo with Mac and cheese and fried okra (also to share). The portion sizes were really big. My husband and I couldn't make it through all of the food. The Mac wasn't good, but everything else was. The fried okra was by far my favorite! Fried okra of hard to get right, and it's something I really love. This place does it right and is possibly the best I've had! Definitely would return! read more

Off the Bone Barbeque - 2 meat combo with a side of Mac n cheese. Ribs and brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Saturday lunch. Located in a converted gas station south of downtown Dallas in a rather empty area, Off the Bone is overall worth the drive. It's ashamed the place wasn't fuller. The brisket was very moist though filled with far more fat than I would have liked. I had to cut away several chunks. Our sides of green beans, spicy fries, fried okra, and Cole slaw were good. My sandwich bun was glistening and great. The sauce is mild and sweet. We also got the peach cobbler, which was good, even if the peaches were straight from the can. We also enjoyed talking with the owners. They have much to be proud of. Parking is plentiful. If you're stuck in traffic on I-30, take a break here. Off the Bone is ripe to become a franchise. read more
