    My husband had been craving barbecue, but because I'm on a pescatarian diet. It is hard for us to go to a restaurant where I can eat too. Riscky's has catfish and barbecue, so, you know, we had to try it out. So I want to call out that we went by the other two locations.The one downtown and the one in the stockyards, but parking was ridiculous.So we didn't even try to go in.This was our final try, and I wish we had come here first. They have their own parking lot. It was not super busy when we got there. And our waitress Stephanie gave us top-notch service. I did the catfish platter that came with two pieces of smoked catfish, and you get a total of three sides. My husband got the all you could eat ribs and my kid got a sandwich that had a whole bunch of meat on it. For the price, the amount of food you get is amazing. The platter was $25. The all you could eat ribs was only $20 and you got 2 sides and the sandwich, I think was $15. We all had so much food, we had to take it to go and they also have a full bar. My daughter loved her sandwich. We also all really liked the fries and the mashed potatoes were good too. My husband thought the ribs were okay, but because he also cooks barbecue, he is a little bit of a snob, so he thought he could cook them better, but he loved his side of okra. Now, my catfish was amazing. It was cooked perfectly. It had an awesome texture, I could taste the smokiness. My third side was coleslaw, and it was pretty good too. I would come back just to get my food to go because of how good the catfish was. I could see myself coming here at least once a month. So I can get my catfish fix!

    Clean tables.

    Not our first visit to a Riscky's but my husband wanted to take me to the location his GrandDad took him to as a kid. After an hour drive, we both arrived very hungry. This location has officially ruined it for the other restaurants. The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in. Friendly staff. We enjoyed looking at all the antiques while we waited for our food. Their sliced brisket sandwiches are unmatched. Absolutely delicious!! Better than any of the other locations. 10/10 recommend! This will be our go to. One of my favorite things about Riscky's is they serve their BBQ sauce in bottles that are warmed. Oh man!! Perfection! And don't forget to get your Riscky's cup. Thank you for keeping up the great work!

    Ribs!!!

    My buddies and I went to Risky's BBQ when I landed in DFW from MT which was first thing on our list to do while we are here on business. We all got the all you can eat ribs!! We combined ate 50 ribs!!! If you like meat, then this is the place to come gorge yourself with friends. The price was super reasonable. Completely recommend.

    Rustic charm to boot.

    I was introduced to this BBQ from a work function catered by Riscky's a month ago. I have heard of them for quite some time but never got around to eating here. Car is at a muffler shop a block away. Why not stop in? As soon as you see this place you are reminded a a small tow country store. The kind that used to sell both Coke and milk..... In glass bottles. That far back. Rustic charm abounds. Antinue nic nacs stock the shelves. The smell of smoke wafting throughout the store reminds you this place has greater purpose... smokes meats. Just a bit of time for a hot link basket. The food truly compliments the decor, awesome. I had shoestring fries with the order and instead of ketchup drizzled them with thier signature sauce. It was really like no sauce I have made or tasted. Really. The sauce was sweet, tangy, extraordinary. The store is situated in Fort Worths historic Northside. Old city charm. A mix of family homes and businesses and in the middle of this sits Riscky's. The service, super friendly, warm. Service was pretty fast as well. Well worth a 5 star review. Just have to put them in rotation from here on. Take care Yelpers.

    We popped into this little old barbecue place on Azle the first night in Fort Worth and what a treat! Amazing food and the manager, Chase Speed and counter man Michael Jackson were friendly and took time to make us welcome, even though they were minutes away from closing. The brisket and fries were delish and we went back for more every day of our visit. We did go to the Risckys in Sundance Square and had the all you can eat ribs. They were melt in your mouth delish. You can't go wrong with this barbecue. Had the '5 for 5' chopped brisket sandwiches-they did not disappoint! Delish! We'll be back! Thanks guys

    Pork rib plate

    Fun ambiance! Grab a seat on the patio ! The pork ribs were nice and tender I large plate for s decent price. Served with a house pickle pretty tasty a little spice to it too. Our server was friendly and attentive. Kids got a macaroni plate very yummy not just kraft warmed up like some places . The wait was a little long but I guess that just shows how well liked the place is .

    How can anyone not give them 5 stars? Amazing food & great value. 3 meat platter is only $18. A must visit place in Ft worth

    I am from the south (MS) to be specific..so when it comes to BBQ... my tastes buds are just accustomed to certain things... this place was recommended to me by a church member and she RAVED about their beef ribs.... I'll take a beef rib over Porky's any day...sooo...my expectation was a bit high especially after reading the reviews... so my fam and got up and drove 30 min to check this place out... restaurant is cool...LOTS AND LOTS of antiques.. which I found to be pretty cool....let's cut to the chase.... the ribs were actually pretty good... tender... not real tough... okay smoked flavor... seasoned okay.... the bbq sauce... was a definite pass.... THE SIDES... HORRIBLE.... from the mac n cheese to the potato salad... just not right... the only decent sides were the fries and the fried okra.... probably just come back to get ribs only... the price was surprisingly not expensive at all hence the 3 stars

This particular spot is a deli sandwich place; they do have some standout choices, but I was craving tuna, so I ordered their Pacific Blue (Tuna Melt). Loved that they toasted the buns; it was good but didn't wow me. They skimped on the cheese and didn't add the jalapeños I requested. Service was incredibly slow, but there was a huge rush-hour crowd, so I'll overlook it. All in all, the theme is cool. Loved that they had vendors and music available the day we went; it gave us an opportunity to have something to do while we waited. I did spot board games, but naturally didn't think we'd need them. The goo ball was overly buttery and definitely had peanut butter. It was good for the first couple of bites but I quickly tossed it afterward once it became too much. If a deli is your thing, give it a try. I'm sure on any other given day they'd be better at delivering a sandwich with everything.

    I found this spot from a local recommendation, the kind that comes with confidence and a smile,…read moreswearing these street tacos were the real deal. I'll admit, I was skeptical. I've eaten a lot of tacos in my time. But some bites have a way of humbling you. This one did. I ordered the street tacos with barbacoa. Corn tortillas layered with melted cheese, another tortilla laid gently on top, then crowned with rich, slow-cooked meat. Simple ingredients, intentional hands. The first bite landed heavy -- comforting, soulful, and loud in all the right ways. These tacos slapped harder than Babe Ruth sending one out of the park. And the real kicker? The smile on her face as she watched me take that first bite -- the kind that says, "I told you so," without needing to say a word. She knew she was right. The service matched the food -- warm, polite, unhurried. That small-town kind of kindness where you're treated like you belong, even if it's your first time through the door. No rush, no attitude, just genuine care. Some places feed you. Others stay with you. Taqueria Temo does both. I'll be back.

It's a casual burger-and-shake spot with a small live music stage, making it feel more like a laid-back hangout than a traditional restaurant. On this visit, I ordered the Double Love Burger along with a side of fries and onion rings. The food was good, but the kitchen was clearly backed up, resulting in a longer-than-expected wait. They'll call your order number over the loudspeaker when it's ready, but with the crowd and noise level, hearing it can be a challenge. The restaurant is spread across three levels. The main floor is where you place your order, pick up your food, and access the restrooms. One level down is the live music stage area with additional seating, while the upper level offers even more tables and chairs. The best way I can describe Love Shack is that it feels like a dystopian saloon dropped into the middle of the Wild West. It's quirky, energetic, a little chaotic, and somehow that all works together to create a unique experience. Overall, it's a cool place to grab a burger, enjoy a beer, listen to some live music, and spend time with friends. Just be prepared for crowds, a bit of noise, and a lively atmosphere.
