Waiting for an order and saw the lead guy scratching his face putting his hand in his hair and then into a sack of. Buns to make a sandwich for a waiting customer He has a beard and hair in a rubber band Needless to say dirty read more

The half chicken meal was extremely reasonably priced, great mac n cheese, and the chicken was tasty and well cooked. This was a pleasant surprise. The decor is certainly .. unique. But hey, solid food at an affordable price, what more could you ask for? read more

Riscky's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

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! read more

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! read more

Food not the same as when I was growing up. Plenty of other bbq places to give my money to.

Decided to come here for dinner (730ish) during the week, that's an hour drive for us. Pulled up and chairs are ontop of the tables and there's city signs posted on the door. I didn't stop to get out and read them as it was heavily raining. I am extremely upset their hours have not been updated anywhere..or even a notice of permanent or temporary closure. read more

I have been a customer since my parents were alive and used to take our family there back in the early 70's. I love the chopped barbecue sandwiches which due to inflation have gone up but just a bit. Friendly staff too. read more

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. read more

I tried Riskey's on a whim as I passed it while on Camb Bowie Rd. The delicious smell of the atmosphere surrounding the store drew me into doing a U-turn. I ordered the Full Smoker, Ribs, Brisket and Turkey, three sides with bread pickles onions and Jalapenos. Service was spot on. Fast, friendly and accurate. Such a huge amount of fantastic food. Their in-house prepared sauce is wonderful. I will go back there again and again while I'm working in the area . I had enough food for three meals truth be told. read more

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. read more

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 read more

I only recommend the Azle avenue location, tried grapevine highway location twice, not impressed, Azle avenue is original location, been eating there many years, always on point read more

I have been coming here over 65 years. We've lived in the neighborhood 74 years. Have never had a bad meal here. My dad would walk me here when I 4-5 years old. Im 74 now. I've had everything on the menu from hamburger to ribs, and BBQ chicken. There is only one thing I don't care for are the beans. Not because they're not good. But I ate frijoles at home. Their potato salad is delicious. Beer, I don't drink anymore, daughter doesn't allow it. But the sweet tea is delicious, especially in the Texas 9month summer. The only reason I can't rate it a 10, is because they don't pick me up and take me home. :} read more

Brisket was salty and the waitress was just standing there doing nothing while we waited for almost 20 mins for her to just bring the check. We won't be back. Definitely not worth the money read more

This location doesn't seem to get as much love as the others...maybe because it is not in the greatest neighborhood. Who knows? I picked it BECAUSE it looked like it wasn't in a hip neighborhood and it might be possible to park there at lunch time on a Friday without too much fuss. And I was right, they had a parking lot, and it had space in it. Success! But what about the food, you ask? What's the use of parking if the food is crappy? Well, the food is not crappy. My love and I each ordered the "Giant Beef Rib Special" which comes with 5 beef ribs and fries for $6.99. You can't beat that with a stick. It also comes with buttered and toasted Texas toast (not a half-hearted sad and nearly soggy slice of white bread like most places give you), a pickle spear and some sliced onion. Not knowing how much food they would give me for a measly $7, we also ordered sides - one small macaroni salad (well, I ordered potato salad but they gave me macaroni salad) and one small side of pinto beans. I didn't correct them on their mistake because I figured, if the BBQ was good I could try the potato salad next time. This was a LOT of food. I ate 4 out of 5 ribs, a little over half the fries and about half the macaroni salad and I was stuffed. Dear Honey ate about the same amount of his meal. The ribs were not the best that I have had (that honor goes to Saltlick BBQ which is down near Austin and way too far to drive for lunch) but they were decent. The BBQ sauce is surprisingly sweet but I liked it. The fries were good, fresh, seasoned with salt and pepper and fried just right. The macaroni salad was homemade and fresh and didn't have the rancid storebought macaroni salad taste, I quite liked it even though I really didn't have room for it in the tummeh. I took a bite of the beans, they were ok, but nothing exciting. We packed a to-go box with the two left over ribs and leftover macaroni salad - this will make a nice 'normal' sized lunch for me sometime soon. Their regular prices are quite good as well - $3.99 for various sandwiches, most of the meat plates $7.99 or $8.99, and amazingly cheap family packs. We could bring the kids here on a weekend and probably get out for under $30 if we share sides and they order sandwiches as they are usually wont to do. This was a great find! read more

Very disappointed, I visited riskys today to place an order to go. I was waiting for about 30 minutes without getting my order. Everyone else that got there after me received there order. When I went to check in to see where my order was at one of the girls said they were working on it. 10 more minutes pass by and more people show up order and get there food then leave. At this point I was very frustrated and I went up to demand a refund. They were never even making my order. The manager I'm guessing did give me a refund and still had my food made in the next 5 minutes. Overall I was very disappointed. Do better next time riskys. read more

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 .

I'm giving this place 1 star for the cool antique decor and 1 star for their BBQ.. I've been to many barbecue places..and honestly this place was a disappointment. I'm very confused how this place got great reviews even on google. Maybe we came here on an off day ...but the food was not good. We ordered sliced brisket, fried pickles and a side of potato salad. The brisket was dry and obviously had been reheated in a microwave..or been sitting under a heat lamp for atleast a day.. Such a shame to do that to brisket.. I shouldve known better when we walked in and I noticed that they don't have an assembly line set up like most bbq joints do. I enjoy watching my meat being cut fresh and weighed in front of me..especially when you're paying by weight. This place doesnt do that. They give you number, you sit and wait for your number to be called...so basically they're heating your food up in a microwave in the back somewhere so you can't see. The fried pickles were OK. Really the only part of the meal that I somewhat enjoyed. The potato salad was terrible. Way too much mustard. It wasn't even scooped fresh into a bowl. They have it sitting in individual bowls ready to serve...and it had a crusty dry film on the top where it had been sitting out for a while. read more

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 read more

Riscky's BBQ - Antiques everywhere - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Riscky's Barbecue has been around all my life and when I was in high school I eat there a couple of time's a week. I remember when Pete Riscky was a live and when he died,back then it was 5 chopped B.B.Q sandwishs for a dollar,my friends and I would pool our money for those 5 sandwishs,drinks and a big bag of chips,go back to school and set on the grass and eat, but when it was cold sometimes we would saddle up to the make shift bar they had and eat with the old man & leason to there store's! you had to be careful the old cashier she wasn't so nice,she ran us out alot untel the nest time we where in there.I have a lot of happy times there I eat alot of chopped bbq sandwish's & those little pecan pie's. But I am sorry to say all thing change! the last time I was in there the chopped had a little to much fat in it,it just wasn't as good as it use to be! the service was friendly and helpful, But I have had better and it saddens me to say so about the place, I steel go back from time to time,I have a diet dr pepper but I pass on the food.... read more

Riscky's BBQ - Fort worth land mark. - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Three star BBQ and a star for the ambience. Chopped and fries was all I expected it to be. Their unique sauce mixed with all the good parts of brisket I love. Pickles and mustard and onions and you've got the national meal of TX. Fries were real, skin on cut and thin and crispy. The kind I dig. Cold drinks. And the building. Nestled in a quaint little downtown area. Checked table cloths. No yuppies. No Stock Show crowds. Go visit. read more

Best BBQ in Fort Worth! I love this place. It's a few blocks from where I grew up, even though I have traveled the world since (including Lockhart & Austin, TX, which I consider #1 in the world for BBQ.) I have to admit that I always get the same thing: rib basket with fries and a sweet tea. It is obvious that the ribs were smoked over a long period of time, because of the outside char plus the consistency and juiciness of the rib meat. I tend to not even need BBQ sauce for these delicious ribs. read more

First impressions: The staff was so friendly, but the restaurant was not as clean as you would like. The sweet tea was great (and I'm from Texas, so I feel that makes me an expert). We ordered the chopped brisket sandwich, the meat and bbq sauce was perfect. My only complaint was the portion wasn't as big as my appetite, so now I will have to go back for round two on another day. read more

So I grew up coming here most of my life, in high school we would come during our lunch for the deals. Back in the day it used to be 5 chop sandwiches for 5 bucks now it's 7 cause you know inflation. they have amazing chop and slice brisket sandwiches come early the lines get long. They also have the best bologna sandwiches in town. It's nice to see one of my favorite places get as big as it has the other locations like the stock yards and downtown have all you can eat ribs for under 10 bucks. This location is a classic it's not going anywhere. read more

I ate here last Friday night with 4 other family members. I had the sliced brisket sandwich which was quite good. All of us were enjoying our meals until about midway when we began to smell an extremely pungent odor of disinfectant /cleaner. I then saw an employee come out of the restroom area with a mop & bucket which he pushed through the restaurant . We were several tables away from the restrooms but the unpleasant smell never really dissipated and essentially ruined the rest of our meal. I liked the food but probably won't return . read more

Riscky's on Blvd 26 in North Richland Hills is HELL. It has been run by incompetent managers for at least the last 2 years. Each time I visit, they leave something out. Also, the last time I ordered from them, I ordered the special (meat, side and a drink). I ordered double fries, thinking that the special had 2 sides. Then the woman who took the order asked what I would like to drink, IMPLYING THAT THE DOUBLE FRIES WERENT AN ISSUE. When we went to pick up the food, the manager WALKED AWAY from the front counter as we approached it. We waited a minute and then an employee asked if we had been helped and REFUSED to serve what we had ordered and instead gave my husband a cup and said, "We'll y'all can share it". When I asked to speak with the manager, the employee rudely said, "She's kinda busy right now". We left and when I called back later to speak with the manager, I got an extremely curt woman named Chrissy who obviously has no idea about phone etiquette because when she answered the phone she just said "hello?" Then she said she was the "manager on duty" but she was the woman who had taken my order and made the original mistake. I will be calling back to let Judy, the general manager know how awful this experience was. Screw you, Riscky's BBQ Hwy 26 read more
