I was born and raised in Lewisville Texas; got stationed in San Diego California in 2010. I always look for local, small business restaurants to support on my visits home. I brought my mother to Old House BBQ, under 2 miles from her home, and wow was I surprised on this gem! I got the brisket and rib 2 meat combo with loaded mashed potatoes and baked beans. Not being a rib guy, I can honestly say these were the best ribs I have ever had in my life. Meat fell right off the bone, exuberant flavor profile, and nice portions. I will definitely be adding this place to my rolodex to my future visits home. Thank you for the beautiful ambiance, family style decor, and outstanding food. Highly recommend and military approved. read more

For a restaurant with a sizable interior seating, the parking was atrocious. The paved parking on its side had sufficient space for four vehicles. May be five if all the vehicles were parked inches apart. Many vehicles parked behind the restaurant on gravel and grass. I chose the BBQ Pork Ribs Plate which came with four ribs. Once I got my meat, everything else was self-service. For sides, I chose the smoked beans and potato salad. Before leaving the area, I made sure to grab a dinner roll. The Point of Sale requesting a tip annoyed me due to the amount of self-service. The ribs were okay. There was not as much meat as I would have liked. Of the two sides, the smoked beans were my favorite. Its sauce provided plenty of flavor. The potato salad had a distinct dill aftertaste. The interior of the dinner roll was slightly warm, so it may have sat on the serving tray for a while. As with other barbecue spots, they offered free soft serve (vanilla). Frugal diners should forego the non-complimentary desserts. Unfortunately, the ice cream was softer than my preference. It's consistency similar to a very thick milkshake. read more

Old House BBQ - BBQ Pork Ribs Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

When I first came to Texas, I fully expected it to be wall to wall old timey BBQ joints, maybe a gas station with an old guy smoking meat out back on a 100 year old smoker. Turns out that is mostly not the case. Yes, DFW has some stellar barbecue, but a lot of it lives in shiny purpose-built buildings with executive chefs and serious BBQ or fine-dining pedigrees. Well friends, this is one of those rare places I have only found a few of - A true little hidden gem. I can see why the reviews are mixed. Buffet sides can be polarizing, the building is nothing to look at inside or out, and there is no Diet Dr Pepper, which frankly feels like a sad and bold choice. But let us get to the important part. I ordered the slider plate and it was outstanding. You get two sides, which means you can try 3 different meats, one on each sandwich. I went with brisket, pork, and sausage. I chose coleslaw as one side so I could pile it onto the sandwiches, and onion rings as the other. The onion rings are not from the buffet - and are kinda a hidden choice - but seek them out - made to order, hot and crispy and worth it. This was a lot of food. The rolls deserve their own shoutout. I am fairly certain they are handmade (or gotten from a bakery daily) , and gloriously fluffy. My lunch was spectacular. Hubby went with the ribs and brisket plate with loaded potatoes, which were yum, and BBQ beans, which were just okay. To finish things off, they offer free vanilla soft serve ice cream. Do not "save room" for it, it is not amazing, but it is a nice little palate cleanser and a sweet way to end the meal. If you are looking for fancy vibes, this is not your spot... If you are looking for honest, satisfying barbecue that reminds you why Texas BBQ has a reputation in the first place, this one is absolutely worth a stop. read more

We go here for dine in and take out. Their chicken is so good! It is never dry. It does sell out. All the 'que is very good. The sides they offer are many and very good. This place has been a family favorite for many years. read more

Super easy to find and plenty of parking. Nice 1960's style BBQ establishment with farm theme. The huge farm theme mural and roomy booths set the scene. BBQ buffet service is quick and easy. The BBQ flavor is really good for the brisket. The standard sides offer plenty of options. read more

Old House BBQ - Order amount - Barbeque Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

I'd like to give it a 2.5. Atmosphere in this the hole in the wall is great. It's definitely well named. The meat however was just ok. We tried brisket, sausage and turkey (no dark meat chicken available). The turkey was so poor I couldn't finish it. Selection of sides was fair with the loaded mashed potatoes being worth choosing. Would've made a 3/5 star but there was NO ICE and the friendliness (or even kindness) of the staff was non existent. Disappointed. read more

After years of passing by old house BBQ, we finally decided to give it a try. The staff really stood out, every serve server, busser, and even the cooks were genuinely friendly, attentive and helpful. We went with the Sunday special: three pork meats (pulled pork, ham, ribs) two sides and a roll for $16.99. We split it between two people, and it was more than enough. The pulled pork and ham were the best, especially with the tangy, vinegar based barbecue sauce from the buffet line. (Better than what was at the condiment station. The ribs were just OK, nothing special, but still tasty. As for the sides, the cheesy potatoes are satisfying, and the Mac salad was fresh. Unfortunately, the soda fountain was down during our visit, but it didn't ruin the experience. The decor, especially outside, adds a lot of charm and with hearty portions and daily specials this is a great spot for a quick filling meal. read more

Old House BBQ - cars parked in a parking lot - Barbeque Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

I stopped at Old House BBQ on my way through town last weekend, and I'm glad I did. This was a superb pulled pork sandwich, and I appreciate that the BBQ sauce was served on the side so I could season it to taste. The greens and the corn on the cob were perfect sides! I'd definitely swing by here again on my next ride through. read more

They are pricey but with the cost of brisket I can understand. The food is delicious. I have but one complaint. I called in an order of brisket and ham to go. I picked it up without looking inside. When I opened the sack at home, some smart had given me the trash bits instead of the smoked ham. I called back and left a message. No one ever called me back. From now on, I watch them prepare my order. read more

Food is super delicious! The service is on point! Specials are always great! I recommend Old House hands down to anyone who wants delicious barbecue! read more

i thought I would give this place one last try and as I guessed just disgusting. Before Covid this place was a solid C but now just gross. I ordered a rib plate that had more fat than meat. if you're going to charge that much make sure the food is edible. My dog wouldn't even eat that shit. read more

Great food BBQ and service. . I would rather support an independent BBQ Restaurant than corporate restaurants. Give it a try!!

This place is old school bbq and I love it for that. It's a throw-back to a simpler time, with quality food you select on a serving line. Sercice was efficient and cordial. The food was all fresh even though it was later in the afternoon when I was there. All the sides looked great and there was a lot to choose from. I asked for fat wet brisket with some bark and that's what I got. Tender and flavorful. There is a nice condiment bar with several (3?) kinds of bbq sauce. One is spicy and it was my favorite. Serve yourself on the drinks as well and soft serve ice cream is available: I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Old House BBQ - Sliced beef, cucumber salad, spicy pinto beans. Lots of condiments available - Barbeque Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

It's an older style of local BBQ joint. Feels authentic to the area, and clearly draws a regular crowd. You can get better BBQ around here, but the prices are reasonable and it's got a relaxed family-restaurant feel to it. read more

We had a large order for lunch - the restaurant got it to us pretty quick which we appreciated but the quality wasn't top notch for sure. The brisket was chalky tasting and they literally left the bones of the ribs in the sandwiches for you to chomp on. The pulled pork was generally alright but cold by the time we got it back to our place (we were 5 min away but given the large order, they likely made this one first and let it sit). The service was generally friendly but not very personable, they brought us out food and we paid, but they weren't able to confirm any of the orders that we gave them over the phone, out loud. The guy just handed us the bags and checked us out. When we got back and finally looked at the receipt (our bad, should've checked at the restaurant), they charged us for an extra plate. $15!! We didn't get this resolved anywho because we didn't want to go back but unfortunately, we probably won't return after this. read more

I placed an order for a family gathering consisting of gallon sized green beans, Mac & cheese and banana pudding. To our surprise the banana pudding was BANANA FREE!! I called later to let them know and was told, that is how they make it so next time I should try the peach cobbler. So very disappointed with the experience. $40 in the trash! read more

This place was very clean and organized. The most outstanding thing here was the food and the service, because we felt very welcomed. From California, this place was amazing. Thank you! read more

I got the Que Crew together earlier this month to check out another area BBQ spot. This time at Old House BBQ in Lewisville. The outer appearance is that of an old country restaurant where locals gather for "supper" or pick up dinner after a long day of work - and that's actually probably pretty close to accurate. The interior is clean, and larger than it appears on the outside. The popcorn ceiling and décor takes you back to the mid-70s and the food is served cafeteria-style. The meats can be ordered By the Pound, as a Sandwich, or as part of a 1, 2 or 3-Meat Dinner Plate. They also offer BBQ Baked Potatoes, Nachos, Quesadillas and Frito Pie. Being my first visit, I was compelled to go with the 3-Meat Plate, so I could sample as many items as possible. I selected Brisket, Jalapeno Sausage and Ribs. A great many sides are laid out across the warmer tables and coolers. Many looked good, but when I see the words "Cheesy Potatoes", it's settled! For my other side, I went traditional with the Smoked Beans. After paying for my dinner, and setting my tray down, I retrieved my self-serve soda and gathered fresh toppings, such as onions, jalapenos and pickles. As the meat goes, the Brisket was a bit dry. If you like lean Brisket and sauce, this is probably for you. I just prefer a little marbelization and bark on my Brisket. The Sausage was standard. Not bad, but nothing special. The ribs were, by far, my favorite of the meats I tried. Very tender, came off the bone clean and there was a smokiness that was really tasty. The Cheesy Potatoes didn't live up to expectation. Good, but I had hoped for more. The flavor of the cheese was too similar to Velveeta for my liking and the Smoked Beans were quite good. I don't want to come off as overly critical. I would return, as there is a lot of good things about this food. The competition in this area for BBQ is so strong, that I have to give things a critical eye for the really special places to stand out. I would definitely get the Ribs and the Smoked Beans and I'm anxious to try some of the others on my next visit. read more

We have been going here for years but it has really gone downhill. we got there at 11:30 and table was filthy and covered with bbq sauce. Ribs were tough and chewy and turkey tasted like lighter fluid. Don't waste your money and.time read more

The first time I tried this place it seemed okay nothing special. I tried to like this place so we gave I another shot but again it was very lack luster. The quality is mediocre at best. The smoked beans tasted bland like they came from a can. The brisket had no real smoke or flavor and was very dry. The portions are a joke considering what you pay. They definitely want to charge you an arm and a leg but do not give you decent portions. If you don't have cash and pay by card they will charge you for that so they do not have to pay that service fee which is ridiculous. If they do not want to pay the fees simply only accept cash. Problem solved! They nickel and dime you for everything. The roles and cobbler were the only somewhat decent things we had. We will not be returning! read more

Old and dirty looking. Not a big fan of this place. Bbq was just okay the flavor tasted too smokey. My chopped brisket sandwich had a lot of fat through it and was greasy. The potato salad was not good to me to chunky not much flavor. Looked like a worker was in his apron outside the restaurant loving up on a woman. Really now. Could you not wait until you got off work. I will not eat here again. read more

So, you gotta call the people back on the app...wait a week to get my $70 next week...ot leave with food I didn't like...I will not be back. read more

Bland. Tried this place for lunch recently. The restaurant was kinda empty but nobody greeted me, not even as I walked up to the cashier to order. Mac and cheese was overcooked (noodles easily broke apart and mushy) and tasted worst than boxed mac and cheese. Loaded mashed potatoes was alright but had bacon and green onion, so those added a bit of flavor. The brisket didn't have any flavor or smoke ring and tasted boiled. The banana pudding was pretty much the box mix with one wafer, no fresh bananas or flavor or more wafers. Only good thing was the fried okra, which was actually crispy and flavorful. That said, just go to Dickey's. read more

I used to come here almost every week. Its been about a year since ive eaten here. Went back yesterday and it was terrible. Got their 11.99 special, half barbeque chicken with 2 sides and no drink. The chicken was bland and soggy, skin was an absolute mess with no flavor. Sauce had no flavor and the chicken didnt even taste like imagination. Cheesy potatoes were cold and bland, tasted like it got scooped off the floor of albertsons deli, same for the cucumber salad. Vegetables were mush and soggy. Unfortunately paid 3.49 for a side of banana pudding which tasted like an artificial banana vomited in a bowl. I dont know what happened within that year but im terribly dissapointed with how it came out. read more

Old House BBQ - Slider plate with pork, sausage, and brisket. Sides are jalapeño Pinot beans and cheese potatoes. - Barbeque Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

Bland tasteless brisket. Service was good and the place had charm so the 2 stars. They do best tender smokehouse but that's not saying much.

We used to come here semi-regularly but it fell of our radar and it's been a few years. I decided to give it a try the other night and called in a to-go order: brisket, sausage, turkey, beans, mac and cheese, and cucumber salad. The brisket was tough and flavorless, while the sausage and turkey were refrigerator-cold. The beans were also cool. The mac and cheese was hot and the cucumber salad was cold (as expected and desired). They both tasted alright. Everything else was garbage. Maybe it was an off night, but I doubt I'll give them another shot. read more

I've eaten here several times, long before yelp was even around. The barbecue was great, I had brisket and ribs, with corn on the cob, baked beans, mac & cheese, and a cucumber salad. Their barbecue sauce is also very tasty. The only reason I don't give this place five stars is because their mac & cheese is the worst I've ever had. The cheese sauce the noodles were in was like water, and tasteless. Order anything but don't order the mac & cheese, the meat tastes great. read more
