    Jalapeño Pinto Beans - Slap Yo Momma Good
    James W.

    Ordered a BBQ Sandwich with 2 Sides. Got fries and jalapeno beans. Everything was delicious. The chopped beef was dry but I added sauce which made it much better. They even sent utensils !!!! My first dasher stole my meal, but they re-made it and it was finally delivered by a second dasher. My first dasher should be fired !!!

    All around great experience The pulled pork was very very good, and the sausage was flavored well. The ribs weren't super tender but tasted solid and the ham was meh. Banana pudding was decent and the smoked beans were awesome! Thought the prices were fair for what you get. Will definitely return.

    From the 70's to 2013 I've had great bbq in TX. Dallas, Irving, Austin and surrounding cities. I moved back to California in 2013 and good bbq is elusive. Had a quick trip to North Dallas and while driving by the smoker smell drew me in.... I am so glad I stopped! Looks can be deceiving. Just an average looking restaurant from the outside. Plenty of parking. Inside seating for at least 50 people. Some outside picnic tables in front. The pulled pork looked delicious so I went with the two sides for $13.99. They have many choices for sides, my choice was jalapeno pinto beans (not hot) and the green beans. Reccomend both. The sandwich was nice size with a pad of cole slaw on top of the meat (Memphis style). Bbq sauce was on the side without asking, I like that. Definitely give The Old House BBQ try, I think you'll like it!

    Great menu

    I have to admit, this place isn't fancy at all. My son wanted to pick up lunch one day through the drive thru, so I drove up. I noticed the outside of the building could use a coat of paint and the roof, well - nothing to do with the food. There was a Long line! I was talking to someone on the phone while we were waiting & she said, "Well, you know it's good if the wait is long!" The woman at the window was friendly when she handed us our order. Jump now to my son asking if we could go eat there for lunch. I scrunched my nose up, but said, okay. As we walked to the door, I noticed there were lots of flowers - looked to be hand-planted, aww. Very pretty. The cooker out on the curb had smoke coming from it and it smelled delicious. When we entered, we were greeted warmly by a man who was quickly moving behind the counter. The place was spotless, floors shiny, the sides/dessert area was perfect (see pictures). We placed our orders and were checked out in a friendly manner, not rushed or anything. We arrived about 11am, so only a couple of other people were there. We took our trays and sat down and by 11:30, the place was getting really busy. The meat so good I didn't want to put bbq sauce on it. My son said - right? It doesn't need it. That's a first. The fried okra was cooked just the way I like it - hot and crunchy but not burnt. The green beans had a different flavor - my son said they are cooked in the meat juices. We ordered out sandwiches on Texas toast, which was a 1st for me. They were SO good!! Bottom line - go try it. Nice people working there (owners?), great country music playing in the background (not too loud) and nice big windows that let the sunshine in. And the food - well, I took a pound of chopped beef home for my daughter's family - should have taken two. They loved it. We have a competitor near our house & my daughter said - we're driving over there from now on! Note to self - don't always judge a restaurant by the outside!

    Typical BBQ joint ambiance and nothing fancy, but I don't come for the environment but mainly food. I ordered the brisket and ribs two meat plate. Unfortunately, very underwhelming and not memorable. Received the end cut of the brisket, which was too moist and almost mushy in texture. The ribs did not have much flavor and extremely chewy. This would be a decent replacement for a Dickie's BBQ if that's what you are craving.

    Tried Old House the first time yesterday, after having passed by this place many times. I have to confess, I wanted to try this place for a while, because within a square mile of this restaurant, you can smell that smoker that's in the parking lot - a siren song for the barbecue lover. I had the daily special which was a baked potato loaded with brisket, these, chives, and other good stuff. It was very tasty. The brisket was definitely the star of the show....as it should have been. My friend had ribs and spicy sausage - he said it was delicious. Barbecue was good, but not great, and perhaps a bit overpriced. Give this place four stars because there's plenty of average barbecue around, and I'm always happy to find another good place.

    Trying to find a DECENT bbq place in Dallas is turning out to be impossible. I'm from Kansas City so I know good bbq and I love it but here lately it has been a challenge. Ordered my food to-go and got a chopped brisket(no seasoning on the meat) sandwich, oily bbq beans and bland potato salad. Overall the only thing I was satisfied about was the size of the sandwich. Beans and potato salad were not good at all. Whoever is making these products needs to step up their game up A LOT. The peach cobbler I ordered was so awful I can't even believe they sell it like that. I Paid $3.25 for a container of gummy mush that does not even resemble peach cobbler. Who's cooking this stuff?? I just can't believe someone put that in a container and thought it was ok.

    Local bbq spot in Carrollton. Plenty of choices for sides. I personally judge a bbq place by the potato salad. It was good. The ribs were also really good. The plates are served with a seasoned dinner roll. It was really good too. Can't wait to go back.

    BBQ Pork Ribs, Brisket, Sausage, Cheesy Potatoes, Mac & Cheese,Coleslaw, bread
    Mya H.

    Ok ok ok.... Nothing special to say about the ribs but no seasoning and moistness.... The Mac n cheese was dry no cheesiness. The brisket was alright, I've tasted better. The cheese potatoes tasted fake out the box. The coleslaw was decent. The sausage was just sausage ,nothing really special or rememberable about the barbecue sauce neither. I'm not the one to complain and I try to be fair. My experience eating the barbecue was not considered real smoky flavor, tender barbecue I'm use to.

It was a hot day, and I don't think their A/C was working. The restaurant was hot and humid, and I genuinely felt bad for everyone working there.

I went with the brisket, mac and cheese, and okra, then followed it up with a corn muffin. It was good. I love brisket. But I didn't find it better or worse than any of the other BBQ places I've tried, and in Texas that's a crowded field. The owner came by the table a few times. Nice guy. How did I know he was the owner? Because his face is plastered everywhere. They appear to hand out coloring book pages of his head, which customers then color in and post all over the walls. Charming or mildly unsettling? I genuinely cannot decide. I'm leaning charming. Ask me again on a cooler day. Food was good. Atmosphere, eh. If I'm in the area again and want BBQ, I'd drop in. I'm not going to seek it out, though.

    Here's a cleaned-up version that keeps your personality and food-review voice:…read more Cattleack BBQ DID NOT disappoint. Right now, on my highly curated list of the 25 best BBQ spots in all of Texas, Cattleack sits at #12--so obviously I had to try it, especially because it's literally down the street from my new place. I knew how that line could get, so I pulled up at 10:05 AM . Basically had BBQ for breakfast. 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.
