Never been here before. Was meeting a date in this part of town and was in the mood for barbecue. Read the reviews on Yelp, which rarely lead me astray. And as suspected, this place lived up to all good reviews. Fantastic!! Definitely one of the best Barbeque joints in Dallas. The meats were all lean, soft and not 'overly Smokey'. I loved the coleslaw w blue cheese crumbs and bacon. This perhaps impressed me the most. The beans were off the chain as well. I'll be coming back to this place hopefully many times in the future. read more

The sandwich I had was bomb. The meat was juicy and so tender. The sauce and bacon hit the spot. I wasn't a fan of the slaw. I like mine cold and a little sweet. Theirs was warm and had a little kick to it. The gentleman behind the counter was kind and gave me a free fry and drink! The fires were some of the best I've ever had, they also had a kick to em! Definitely a must try! read more

Friends from out of town came in so when in Dallas BBQ is the place. When you drive up, know that it's located in an awkward location and parking is more available on one side. As you walk out of your car, THE SMELL, is there (NOTE: You know you're gonna smell like the place when you leave). When placing the order, you walk to the counter to order. The menu basic but we ordered 2 racks of ribs 1.5 pounds of brisket, some sides and drinks. They have 4 TV's for your viewing pleasure and there is one bathroom in the middle. The order was brought to us with wheat bread. The ribs and brisket had that rich smoke taste. The ribs had the caramelized rub on the outside and they were cut different than the regular spread ribs. The cook saw our order and recommended the family pack but we stayed with the regular cuts. The final was $146 bucks but the portions were small for our group. We had some pecan pie and peach cobbler but it tasted mass produced. This was a good place and good customer service. If in the area, drop in just be careful not being chased by dogs when you get home read more

Had to sample a bbq in Texas. The beef brisket and the ribs were ono! The ribs fell off the bone! The spicy and regular bbq sauce were a great add on to dip your meat and bread in. The Mac and cheese was a little watery, and the food was really greasy. However, the flavors were there! I chose the two meat combo plate (kind of pricey) but I was very content afterwards. The staff, the location, the menu worked well. read more

Visiting Dallas and of course needed some BBQ. We ordered the platter that comes with an assortment of meats and sides. The pulled pork was AMAZING! My favorite ! Very flavorful. The brisket was tender but didn't have the flavoring I expected however paired with the BBQ sauce it was really good. Honestly I was won over with the pulled pork so I didn't even care for anything else anymore. The ribs were really good! It had a glaze on it that was a bit sweet and I loved it. Their fries are a bit spicy but so good. The honey wheat bread they have is also very good. The prices seemed decent and they had seating available and hand sanitizer. Next time I'm in Dallas I would definitely return. The best meal I had while there. The staff is friendly ! read more

This place came highly recommended from a co-worker that was here a couple months ago. We each got the combo with ribs and brisket. She had mac n cheese and fried okra as her sides while I had okra and green beans. For dessert we had peach cobbler. Everything tasted really good, the Mac n cheese was made with a rue which is not my wife's thing, but otherwise was tasty to her. The baby back ribs were the best I'd ever had. Brisket although tasty, was dry. The employees were nice, well groomed and professional. The venue was quiet and clean. We are going back again today! read more

This is one of my favorite BBQ places in Dallas. I typically gorge myself on a three meat and two sides platter here, but today, I showed some restraint and only had a two meats combo. You begin by ordering at the counter, and they deliver the food to your table. Good BBQ doesn't come quickly, so it does take a bit for food to get to the table (about 20 minutes for me around 1 p.m.) Inside, the small spot has a modern feel with metal chairs and clean tabletops, beautiful floor to ceiling windows and a small patio area. Grab an ice cold beer for your order while you are at the counter. The food is worth waiting for. I've had just about all the meats here. The ribs fall off bone and are juicy, not dried out. It is smoked over pecan wood to give it some extra special flavor. The chopped beef brisket has a wonderful spice rub on the outside that makes for a tasty crispy outside as it it slow smoked. Splash a little bit of BBQ sauce from the table for a little added zing. Their smoked chicken and smoked beef sausage are also amazing choices. The chicken is some of the best I've had at a BBQ joint in Dallas. Two sides come with the combo. Today, I had the con queso mac n cheese and tri-colored spiced pasta salad. I really love this mac n cheese. It is creamy, and the spicy con queso is a super twist to the cheese part of the mac and cheese. The pasta is an interesting take on pasta salad filled with chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, onions mixed with grated parmesan cheese and sun dried tomato vinaigrette, which adds a little bit of tang. Oh, and every combo has a honey wheat roll added in. This place is always a treat when I make it to that end of town. You'll leave full and happy, and usually with a doggy bag because they don't skimp on their portions. read more

Today we were craving some local BBQ and we found this place close to our hotel, Lorenzo. The parking lot is not too big but the place wasn't really busy so we got a good place. I asked the guy at the register for a recommendation and he told me he loves the brisket and so I got a brisket sandwich. I got two mini sandwiches with enough chopped brisket to make two other mini sandwiches. The brocket was tender and flavorful, and their BBQ sauce was the perfect amount of sweet. My friends, Sandy and Dalia, got brisket and ribs with mac n cheese and beans, and Moni got a baked potato with pulled pork. I loved the mac n cheese because it wasn't your traditional mac n cheese, it had some spicy and I loved it. The beans were warm and delicious, they reminded me of some ranchero beans that my grandma would make for carne asadas. They had pieces of meat and a little spice that made them so perfect for me. The baked potato was big enough for two and so we all had a little bit of it. The only reason why I'm giving them four stars is because the ribs were a little cold and one wasn't cooked all the way through. But everything else was perfect, the attention of the people there, the place was super clean, and the rest of the food was delicious and not pricey. read more

I think this spot used to be a filling station. I do like the feel and look. The outside dining area does need improvement..there's not much of a view, the sitting looks uninviting and uncomfortable, and there needs to be like some sort of covering, I had the 3 meat/2 side plate with beef sausage brisket, macaroni and cheese, and spicy honey backed beans. The Mac and beans were pretty special and the sausage was pretty good. The brisket did disappoint me with it's lack of flavor. I will probably stick to the hole in the wall barbeque spots out in the south. read more

This place is NOT a Barbeque or Smoked meat restaurant. The 1st time I ordered from the Off The Bone Barbeque restaurant I ordered 1lb of sliced brisket not overwhelmed, but not disappointed. I gave this restaurant another chance because the boast a PIT MASTER for goodness sakes. I ordered a whole smoked chicken, Con Queso Mac N Cheese (I should have known this was a MAJOR MISTAKE) and Southern Potato Salad. This was the absolutely worst bbq I and my family have ever had. The Chicken was either boiled or baked and then heavily seasoned with Smokeyspice flavors. I called the restaurant and spoke with the "Pit-Master" (I use this term loosely) to ask if the meats are ever placed on a grill or in a smoker. This chicken was TERRIBLE there was NO CHAR of any parts of the chicken and the skin was rubbery. The sides menu is labeled Southern Sides. No mom, grandmother or auntie north of the southern BOARDER has EVER put Con Queso in Mac N Cheese and it was DISGUSTING. The only thing I ordered that was OK was the Southern Potato Salad. My husband even tried to save the chicken and our money by placing the chicken on our our grill with charcoal there was no saving this nasty food. I will NEVER EVER patronize Off the Bone BBQ again. read more

History

Established in 2001.

After a 38 year career with Frito-Lay, Dwight Harvey decided to depart the corporate world and pursue his passion and create the barbeque restaurant of his dream. Now before retiring, he had already acquired over 10 years of catering barbeque events. Thus building an impressive client base that was eager for him to open his restaurant. The Off the Bone establishment was formerly an old gas station that has been renovated and given an updated retro look; located just south of downtown Dallas in the eclectic Cedars area. The site is a commercial kitchen that offers take-out, outdoor patio seating and catering. Dwight has a list of corporate clients and has serviced events of multiple sizes, including events of 800 guests. His client base includes the following: PepsiCo, Frito-Lay, Frito-Lay executives personal events; Dallas National Golf Club, Lucy Billingsley, Ashlee Hunt-Kleinert, ACS, the Women's Museum, Dallas Women's Foundation, KinkiSharyo and Dean Foods to name a few.

Meet the Business Owner: Dwight H.

Dwight Harvey began Off the Bone Barbeque with a clear mission: "To reinvent the barbeque experience by providing the best barbecue meals to our families, friends, and customers at a superior value". Dwight has made this a "family affair" supported by his son, daughter, nephews, son-in-law and extended family of employee staff. Dwight's son, Steven Harvey, led the Sales/Marketing effort and created the website; his son-in-law's vast restaurant experience facilitated the operational start-up; while his daughter assisted recipe development and nephews had oversight of the weekend night operation. They are all dedicated to producing Dwight's specialty meats and hand-prepared side dishes. This delivery of quality food afforded Off the Bone Barbeque a 3-Star Rating from the Dallas Morning News within the first year of business, and the 2010 Dallas Best Barbeque award from the Dallas Observer.

And since I plan on hitting ALL 25 spots on my list, I made sure I tasted a little bit of everything so I could give it a proper review. First test: THE RIBS. I'm from St. Louis. Ribs are always going to be one of my first tests of whether somebody can really throw down on the BBQ pit. I got a whole pound, and they were GREAT. Passed the test. Then came the Toddfather sandwich... WHEWWWW. Brisket, smoked sausage AND pulled pork all on one sandwich. My God. So good. To finish off the meat test, I got one big piece of fatty brisket. Excellent. Exactly what I wanted. Now the sides... The mac & cheese was surprisingly GOOD. And if you know Texas BBQ, you know finding a BBQ spot with mac & cheese that can actually hold its own isn't always easy. The burnt-end baked beans had a great smoky flavor, but there were almost TOO many burnt ends in them . I was like damn, can I get some beans too?! Still good though. And finally, the banana pudding? FIRE. It was like a fancy version because it had a toffee flavor to it. Cattleack absolutely delivered. Love the vibes inside and out. This is officially a Ken's Approved Restaurant and earns the KenStar of Approval. 12 down... the journey through Texas BBQ continues.

This has been on my list for a long time, and I finally got a chance to try it out over the summer…read more I live in Fort Worth and their hours are not convenient for me to get to them, thats why it has taken me so long to try them. I read about the long lines and the lack of parking, but when I visited, it was maybe an hour before they closed, so I was actually able to find parking right outside the front door, and there was no line. There were also plenty of seating inside. When I got there, they were out of certain items, but that was expected since they are in high demand. Since it was just me, I ordered half a pound of brisket and half a pound of ribs along with a side of mac and cheese. To be honest, it did not live up to its hype. The brisket was a little dry, and for how much they charge per pound, I was expecting more meat than fat. The ribs were my favorite, and the mac and cheese was ok too. I got my order to go, and they only gave me a few sandwich bread slices and like 2 small containers of pickles. I think next time IF i go and IF i happen to be in the area i will try to eat inside that way I can get more of the bread/pickles because i love those on my BBQ.

Then I accidentally parked in the wrong spot while going to get my nails done, looked up, and saw Hurtado. Clearly, lunch was meant to happen! I ordered the three-meat plate with brisket, ribs, and poblano sausage, plus bacon ranch potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and tater tot casserole. I'll admit, I wondered whether all the extras in the sides might be doing too much. Well, after bringing everything home and digging in, I can say it absolutely worked. The ribs were tender and delicious, with great barbecue flavor. The poblano sausage was amazing! I've had jalapeño cheddar sausage before, but this was something different and so good. The brisket had a wonderful smoky flavor, although it wasn't quite as tender as I expected on my first serving. It had cooled down some by the time I got home, and when I reheated it for round two, it was much more tender. Next time, I'll ask whether I can get a leaner cut, just as a personal preference. Now, the sides deserve their own moment. The bacon ranch potato salad had a finely mashed texture, with delicious bacon and green onions on top. Chef's kiss! The macaroni and cheese had spiral pasta, a little jalapeño heat, and such a creamy, delicious sauce. I've never had any quite like it. The tater tot casserole was another winner. It reminded me a little of Cracker Barrel's hash brown casserole, but with a smoky, bacon-like flavor and a much finer potato texture. My first thought was, "Is this cauliflower?" It wasn't--it was just a different texture than I expected, and oh my goodness, it was good. Even the bread had that sweet, Hawaiian-style taste that I love. I'm picky about barbecue sauce, so I wasn't sure what to expect there either. This one was sweet with a hint of Tex mex flavor and a little something different in the seasoning that worked so well with the barbecue. I loved it. The portions were generous, especially the sides, and my takeout container was full of meat and two slices of bread. Service was quick, too. My food came out about five minutes after I sat down, and they offered me water while I waited. I went in hoping the food would live up to everything I'd heard, and it was even better than I imagined. Everything had its own flavor, and it all came together so well. Now I'm thinking about that meal and already looking forward to going back!

This time, I had birria tacos on my mind. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - I love the Dallas Farmer's Market, and Hurtado is the perfect restaurant to occupy this space. There is a line that steadily moves, nice outdoor and indoor seating, and if you walk towards the back you can see all the smokers. If you visit on a weekend, try to arrive before noon to avoid long lines. 1 Star. Service - You place your order, take a number, and your order is brought out to you. While you don't get to see the staff cut your meat in front of you, they are very fast and efficient. There are also Hurtado staff who will clear plates off your table. Great people here. 1 Star. Food - I came for the Birria tacos. Hurtado uses their smoked brisket, which shredded and paired will all things that make Hurtado special - Mexico flavors (cilantro, onions, and that beefy consommé). I also ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and bacon burnt ends. The brisket is great (and well represented in many Yelp reviews). On this visit, the bacon burnt ends stole the spotlight. A well-seasoned and smoked pork belly cube will melt in your mouth. I washed down my meal with the Tres Leches Banana Pudding and ended an incredible meal. One last very important note, Hurtado is a great value. My two tacos, 2 meat plate, and desert were $50. P.S. I split this meal with my son. I love food but I'm not a glutton. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I've been to the OG Hurtado in Arlington, the one at Globe Life Field, but the location in the Dallas Farmers Market is my favorite of them all. Yes, I will be back! 1 Star.

Well I have eaten here twice before even reading the first review. I read a really long bad and a really long good one. So being in the area I wanted to give them another shot and see if I can spot some of the things in the two reviews. I'm a truck driver and I tend to get around. And I may not have the most discerning palate but this is what I think. The service was okay, but the woman behind the counter seemed a little short. The food was okay, if I had to choose between McDonald's and this, they win hands-down. But the food did seem to be missing something from the first two times I went. I had noticed the first two times that they really don't have a selection of drinks that are nonalcoholic. They had Pepsi diet Pepsi and Canada dry. Considering it was out of a can and sitting in a refrigerator you would think they would have other choices. But they had plenty of beer, unfortunately I don't drink and I'm not that fond of Pepsi. I saw what one of the reviews meant about the side's didn't really taste homemade. But I did think the beans were doctored up quite well. The potato salad was really missing something though. I had the chopped brisket. It wasn't dry it was moist enough and heavy on the barbecue sauce. The links were tasty although a little salty. The customers there were really nice and quick to start up conversations. But the one reviewer was right they could do with a bit less chairs due to the space being a bit tight. Other than that I think this is a small business with heart and it looks like the kind of place where the service can go up and down the scale on a daily basis. It really does seem like a small family run operation. I say if you're in the area you should go. It is definitely a one time experience that could grow into a lifelong favorite place. But for now I can just say that it's good. read more

Let me start by saying that this was my first time in Dallas, and therefore my first experience with Dallas barbecue. That being said, I have had and made plenty of barbecue in my life...and this is by far the best I've ever had. We ordered the ribs, brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, Mac n cheese and beans. The ribs were really off the bone, but not in annoying messy way...just the perfect amount of tenderness. Definitely add the bbq sauce on the table--you won't be sorry. The Mac n cheese was not typical but in the best way. It had peppers and was clearly made with bechamel sauce which the owner confirmed was his wife's Louisiana recipe. No wonder I loved it since I'm Haitian and make our very similarly. The brisket was absolute divine--more than I can handle in the small order but good to get if you're sharing. It was seasoned perfectly but adding the sauce from the table gave it a little something extra. Overall great dining experience at a local black owned business with good customer service and a personable owner. I imagine it gets crowded in the evenings so I would go during lunch. read more

Have heard about this place and went for preconcert meal. My buddy and I got there first and waited for the rest of our group. I am guessing the owner came by and visited with us as we waited. We asked what he suggested as the best sellers. Ribs is what they are known for. So group got there and we all ordered. I had two meat combo with ribs and brisket. Both perfect and as the name suggested the meat feel if the bone and was flavor as hell. The brisket was very good as well with the ribbon of fat cooked to there point where it easily separated from the bed. It was very good, maybe a bit dry. That was it may wise for the entire group of us except one had the chicken and she loved it. Sides, I tried the fried corn on cob. Asked b4 if was battered like the old black eyed pea staple but it isn't. It is good, sprinkled with a run or seasoning that is nice but wasn't on entire Cobb leaving some bland. Friends loved okra and slaw. Would of liked a spicier BBQ sauce and sweetners for unsweet tea like Splenda. read more

I review BBQ more than any other foods...This was my first visit and as any good BBQ critic knows you have to try BBQ more than once to give a honest review. This place is small only about 20 seats and that is if you share with someone BBQ was good, average on a scale of one to five its a 3, Ribs were OK, Brisket was OK kinda lean for me...I like greasy fatty brisket with some good to heavy char, I am not a fan of dry lean brisket...I would rather go to McDonalds than eat that. Sides were good...sweet beans (I love me some good baked beans), and the cole slaw was "Money" it is made with Bacon and Blue Cheese...what a great twist. Weird Bread...??? a little expensive...My lunch BBQ Pricing is - under $10 is a good deal, $12 - $13 is OK and over $15 is expensive...this was $16.24 with Drink and Tax I will try it again and report back as for you...go try it, I think you will be happy, most of you will be very happy read more

This place is just okay. Simply put, the BBQ is forgettable - I had the pork ribs, brisket and fried corn. In my opinion, for Texas BBQ they are pretty mediocre. I checked out the place this past Memorial day because I wanted to see if there was any other place doing BBQ better than Lockhart and Pecan Lodge (my favorite joints in Dallas) and my main take aways from 'Off the Bone' are that the customer service was horrible and the food is just okay. I had to wait almost an hour for my order because they forgot to put my ticket in the queue. If you want top notch BBQ and a reasonable level of customer service you are better off going to the other top rated BBQ restaurants in the area. read more

The one I picked had links, brisket, ribs, and sausage inside a cheesy baked potato. These plates can be eaten by a couple. It was way too much for just me by myself. The bbq was cooked well overall and the rest was just overkill but you'll definitely get full. The average pricing was around $20+ to start so be prepared to pay for the food. They also have koolaid, it's extremely sugary if you're not big on that type of taste. Service was simple and straight forward and the location is more of a shack with some decorations of their old sports teams and a tank with a turtle in it.

The place i wanted to go to was closed today :( a quick stroll down the street and in I walk into…read moreJD's. It has a backyard bar b que feel that feels more Texas as you listen to the country music they play in the background. I opted for the combo platter. I chose ribs, brisket, fries and ranch beans. They give you a choice of saucing your meet or placing it on the side. It's also worth to note that the lemonade and tea are house made. If your avoiding high fructose corn syrup that's the way to go or they offer sever Mexican sodas that are made with real sugar The ribs were the best part of my meal. A bit crispy on the outside, more like a fried rib. The brisket tasted like the fridge and my assumption from taste is that is old. Neither meats had a smokiness to them. It's truly Texas BBQ no real smoked flavor more nuanced to highlight the meat. Surprisingly they only had one bbq sauce. I would expect to see a mustard bbq as it probably would pair better with the meat I was served today. I'm from Kansas BBQ caption of the world and honestly this bbq doesnt compare.

It should be illegal to call this BBQ. There's no way the brisket or ribs I got had seen the inside…read moreof a smoker. Zero smoke ring and zero bark. Plus it was the least amount of meat I've ever gotten in a bbq sandwich. Fries were also soggy and undercooked. 2 stars for toasted bun but don't go here if you want BBQ aka smoked meat.

Oh smokey, meaty gods of unctuous morsels, thank you for Mr. Dave and his BBQ…read more I will lend this tasty BBQ to a cross between Texas and KC BBQ. The ribs are done very well with a good amount of smoke put on them; even if the ends lacked some juiciness the flavor made more than up for them being a bit tough. The spicy sausage I also ordered only to find out after sampling some from my box (awaiting coworkers) is made IN HOUSE with Mr. Dave's recipe!! Spicy juicy and extremely tasty! The sauce appears and from the taste lends itself to a thicker, ketchup and molasses based sauce with some kick and a solid shot of black pepper. I liked it quite a bit and even dipped the dryer rib portions in. This is where I think when I heat these up I will baste on some sauce and hit them in the broiler to put some wet / glaze into them. We all enjoyed our selections and I've been told by coworkers the potato salad is spot on, but the greens were flat. All in all not enough to take a point. It's BBQ, not a side factory. ;)

This place is the real deal!!!!! The food is absolutely delicious! My man and I enjoy the flavor…read moreof REAL smoke and this is as good as it gets. If you don't believe me go find out for yourself. I promise that you won't be disappointed! (Licking my fingers!)
