    Great menu
    Teresa R.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Paid $3.25 for this container of peach cobbler mush

    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

    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.

After getting inside I could tell why. The BBQ smell hits you as you open the door and it smelled sooooo good. They had a giant menu written onto the wall. Some of the meats were sold out. We debated for a bit and then decided to do a group order. Our Group of 7 people ordered the Cattleleack Platter and sides of burnt end beans, potato salad, cole slaw, and Mac and cheese. Oh and don't forget to ask for cornbread too. Inside tey had large tables and benches to sit at and we secured our spot. The food was delicous. The Beef Rib was huge and melted in my mouth. The brisket was amazing and seasoned well. Everything tasted great. Everyone ate til they were full and we still had leftovers. I ate them later at night and they were still good. This place is pricey, definitely worth a visit.

The line took over 1.5 hours before I was able to place my order. At the register, I noticed I had been double charged and pointed it out to the cashier. Mistakes happen, especially during busy hours. However, she initially denied it and removed meat from my plate to reweigh it. She later acknowledged the mistake and admitted the error, but not before making an unnecessary scene. The brisket was good, but the overall experience could have been better. 2 stars.

    I was driving by a playground the other day and asked my 3-year-old if he'd rather go play or stop…read moreby Kafi BBQ. Even though the playground is usually his favorite spot, he didn't hesitate & insisted we go to Kafi for the brisket. That pretty much sums up how my family feels about this place. We've tried plenty of BBQ spots around Texas, but Kafi keeps bringing us back. The brisket is consistently excellent, and you can tell they use the highest-quality ingredients because the flavor really speaks for itself. Everything on the menu is done well, from the Wagyu and sausage to the burnt ends. It's become one of those rare places that the whole family gets excited about, and that's not something I can say about many restaurants

I follow the chef/owner on Instagram (@kafibbq), and the amount of effort and detail he puts into his craft has resulted in multiple return visits for me. This review is for my latest visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kafi BBQ can be found in a shopping strip in Irving-Valley Ranch. Only opened Friday - Sunday, on my most recent Sunday visit around dinner time, Kafi was packed. The patrons were a great mix of families, BBQ lovers, and those looking for high quality Halal meats. Smoke was in the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is super friendly and nice. Pro Tip - Go for lunch or before 6 before items are sold out. A few items were sold out on my most recent visit (my fault I arrived at 6:45) and the staff weren't aware of what was available, leading to some confusion, but they were so nice it didn't impact my meal. 1 Star. Food - By now, you've probably read or heard about Kafi's Wagyu Brisket. For me, I love following @kafibbq on Instagram so I can see what Salahodeen is cooking up. On this visit, it was the Brisket Sandwich. First off, the house baked bread roll is soft, but firm enough to hold Kafi's famous brisket on a pile of home made cole slaw and pickles. The result was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've eaten. The bite was soft, smokey, crunchy, and tart (from the pickles). It was a special, and I'm not sure if Kafi will keep this on the menu, but I hope they do. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's pricey, but it's worth it. While the brisket is great, I suggest you follow them on Instagram to see what's cooking and plan your visit around the specialty items. 1 Star.

I would recommend getting the ribs for $53 and some cold noodles on the side instead of the combo. Their cold noodles were really good and the ribs a la carte were a better deal for the buck.
