    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

    My mom was in town for the weekend. She said she was in the mood for sandwiches. Reasonably, I…read morebrought her to this 420 themed restaurant. If anything, that actually added to the experience for her. She liked the vibe and inside decor, not because she partakes in cannabis use, but she's not familiar with the 420 culture in the first place so it all kind of stood out. I agree with that as well. The design plays into the theme well! This of course extends to the menu as well. All sandwiches are named after different strains of weed. I got the Kali Mist - a spicy turkey club - on white and my mom got the KGB - a roast beef and horseradish sandich - on garlic herb. As opposed to small, medium, large, the sizes are nug, pinner, and blunt. We both got nug sizes since we weren't too hungry at the time but still wanted to try. Long story short, the sandwiches were absolutely delicious. They're all toasted so the bread provides a great, warm base. The avocado on the Kali Mist stood out for me, providing a nice rich flavor and texture amongst everything else. I tried a bit of the KGB as well and the horseradish gives a nice contrast to the flavorful roast beef. Overall, I would definitely come back again to try out more of the sandwiches.

    My first try, and we went on 4/20 to catch a munchies discount!…read more We were happy with the cost, that's for sure. 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.

My husband found The Great Outdoors Sub Shop, and it absolutely hit the spot. I ordered the turkey and cheese with the works (minus tomatoes), and my husband went with the same sandwich but built his own without the preset toppings. The bread is baked fresh in-house, and all of the fixings tasted fresh and high quality. I grabbed a bag of chips and a drink, and it made for a solid, satisfying meal. If I'm being picky, I wouldn't have minded a little more meat--but overall, the flavor was on point. The place was clean, with steady foot traffic from nearby businesses, which is always a good sign. The servers were ready to take on all the orders that came in. Bonus points: they also offer desserts and ice cream! Definitely a great option if you're craving a classic deli experience

    This was a DoorDash order so I cannot attest to the aesthetics or ambience of the restaurant…read more We ordered two subs and broccoli cheese soup. One sandwich was the club and the other sandwich was the turkey pastrami. By my mistake, I thought that my was going to be turkey and pastrami. The sandwiches were subpar and the soup that I ordered for almost 6 dollars was just a cup not even a bowl with a few crackers. I requested additional condiments, which we never received.

Came out within 5 minutes even though it was busy. That was impressive. Maybe let them dry a bit longer? My wife and I split The Wrangler . (lettuce, tomato, crispy onions, ranch) with fries. We skipped the tomatoes and ranch. Solid burger. 7/10. Fries were a bit on the oily soggy side. Fries were probably taken out the fryer a bit to soon. Can't have crinkle fries and not be crispy . Atmosphere vibe was Good spot to grab a beer, burger and hang out. Price: $36 even -- 2 drinks, fried pickles, burger, and fries. Overall: Worth stopping by for a casual burger.

I was told that they changed the patty from the original so that may be the reason. But besides that the fried jalapeños were a great appetizer as well as the cheese bites. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers. Now the restaurant has both a place inside and outside to eat at, we choose to eat indoors and it was well decorated with Stockyard and Texas history memorabilia. Definitely a place to check out if you are in the Fort Worth Stockyards area.

    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 the kind of atmosphere you'd want to hang out in. Now for the rest... Customer service and food? A total disaster. Let me say this the onion rings were amazing. Honestly, I'd come back just for those and a cold beer but because of the rest of the experience I would NEVER come back to this place. I felt like I got robbed. Customer service was abysmal. Every staff interaction felt like we were bothering them just by showing up. Rude, dismissive, and absolutely uninterested in providing a good experience. If the entire staff were swapped out tomorrow, I doubt anyone would notice or care. The food? Horrendous. * Burger: $7 for a sad, cold bun with wilted lettuce and a "portobello mushroom" the size of a pea? Criminal. * Nachos: $8 for soggy chips with a tiny sprinkle of cheese and a teaspoon of guacamole. * Add-ons: $3.50 extra for "seasoned ground tenderloin," which turned out to be one burger patty cut into four tiny chunks. Ridiculous. Overall: A complete letdown. Tim Love should be ashamed to put his name on this place. The quality doesn't just miss the mark -- it feels like no one's even aiming. Total waste of money, and honestly, a joke of a restaurant experience. The chef either needs to be fired, go back to training and send them to in n out or even if they close down the whole thing we wouldn't miss this restaurant in stockyards!
