    While I normally would give these cats a decent review, todays meal merits nothing more than one star. Between the family and I, we got a chopped brisket sandwich basket, and Brisket Plate, and a Beef Ribs basket. The chopped beef was good, as always. The brisket was tasty, albeit a little dry, but since it was delivered, no one to blame but myself. The beef ribs however, were a fucking tragedy. As far as the size goes, wow. Four whole beef ribs, with a side, for $11. The flavor??? Absolute garbage. The meat was bone dry, with almost no smoke ring. There was decent pull back from the bones, but it's blatantly obvious these ribs were started on the smoker and finished, badly, in an oven. (As someone who adopted bbq as a hobby when Covid first hit hard, I've smoked my share of beef ribs, and even the ones I failed on were better than this. That's how bad these were.) I literally couldn't eat them. Four bites in and I had to go vomit them up, they were that bad. My mouth was like "these aren't bad... they aren't GREAT, though..." and my stomach said "NOPE. FULL EJECT MOTHERFUCKER.". I get being a production bbq place, and being pressed for time, but don't sell something my cat won't even eat. (And that fat asshole ain't picky, lol.) Very disappointed, Risky's. Wish I could have that $11 back, because I sure as shit didn't eat the food. Boo.

    4 stars for 4 chopped beef sandwiches for $5 - this tried and true deal brings many memories for my husband so it is very appreciated. The fried okra was delicious

    Well, to someone from California, this was pretty good bbq. Service was awesome, brisket was off the chain good, and prices were fair. Totally enjoyed my day at the stockyards.

    I just had a meat-gasm. This place is incredible from start to finish. Very rustic outside, located in the mid-cities area, this is just their deli and not their full restaurant. But anyway, let me tell you about the second coming of meat Jesus! First off, authentic to a tee for home spun BBQ! Incredible deals, hubby and I got their two specials for today. Hubby got 2 BBQ sandwiches, a side and a medium drink for only $4.50!! I got the same deal for 1 pulled pork sandwich. The meat was so incredibly flavorful and tender and lean that I would have easily paid twice that and been very happy. I want more of their pulled pork sandwich, I could eat more right now. RIGHT NOW. Their French fries have some kind of freak-tastic seasoning that I am now addicted to and might need to seek therapy for withdrawals. We also saw someone get one of their homemade fried pies which they then refried to warm back up. It looked AMAZING and worthy of "riscking" a heart attack. Phenomenal for both the deals and the food quality!!

    I had the pleasure of making some new friends. Jeannine and the boys at Riscky's were wonderful, they showed me around and gave me a backgrounder of their still family-owned business. Their service was terrific, the food divine. I highly recommend this #smallbiz for those passing through or living here in FWTX.

    Oops!  Sorry, I ate it all.  Yummy!

    The wife and I have ordered takeout from this Riscky's and the one on 377 in Benbrook 3 times in the last month. Why? Because they have phenomenal BBQ, especially we like the chopped beef. Both places are exceptionally friendly, Texas style, and have fast service. I really don't understand why they don't have a 5 star rating. Must be ratings by these out of staters moving in that don't appreciate Texas folks. For us, we are Riscky's regulars now. Thanks, Riscky's.

The service was kind and enthusiastic just like at many of the other reputable Texas BBQ joints. Barbecue folks=Good folks. My husband just had a side of the cowboy beans to enjoy for lunch. I thought the beans were excellent. I noticed too that they also have burnt end beans that are more like a baked bean dish. We chose a two meat brisket platter with brisket burnt ends, sliced brisket, the cowboy beans and Mexican street corn to take home. We paid a premium because our platter was essentially a double brisket platter. No problemo! Just give us that brisket goodness! We thought everything was fantastic and would definitely recommend as a great place in North Richland Hills for barbecue. I appreciate the patriotic theme of the restaurant and simply adore the name.

(2816…read moreBrown Trail, Bedford, TX 76021) As soon as I got out of my car, I knew I'd found something interesting. The restaurant had a sign stating, "Electric vehicle charging available here." Just to the right of the sign were two Level 2 chargers. We each ordered two 2 meat plates, which included two sides. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we realized we had WAY over-ordered. We had enough for two meals for each of us! We had chicken and pork ribs, mac & cheese and flat green beans. It was very tasty with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I spoke with the owner and thanked him for supporting EVs, to which he replied, "How could I not? It's what's coming. How could I not get on board?" He mentioned that quite a few of his customers found him on Plugshare.com and stop by regularly for a meal and charge. I had to Google "So mote it be."

I genuinely want this place to succeed, which is why I still give it chances every so often. Today (Feb 24, 2026) I stopped in with my daughter just to pick up sides. Many menu items were unavailable (we were told no greens), so we ordered cabbage, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. The total was about $15 and I paid $20 and told him to keep the change as a tip. Unfortunately, the food quality was disappointing. The cabbage was essentially plain steamed cabbage -- very underseasoned and more like cafeteria vegetables than braised southern cabbage. I actually had to go home and re-season and cook it further just to make it edible. The sweet potatoes tasted good, but they had a noticeable smoky/BBQ odor, like they had absorbed grease or smoke from the kitchen environment. The cornbread itself was very good, but the portion was extremely small -- basically a sample-sized piece. Considering I tipped $5 on a small order, it would have been nice to include an additional piece or two. The biggest ongoing issue, though, is consistency. Over the years the restaurant is frequently out of items and the quality varies visit to visit. The dining/kitchen area is also visibly worn and could really benefit from a deep clean and upkeep. I truly say this respectfully because I remember how good this place used to be. The potential is still there, but right now the food and overall experience don't match the prices being charged.

The brisket was good, and the ribs were phenomenal. But the best part was the customer service. After hearing I was from out of town, and seeing I had brisket and ribs on my plate, the guy taking my payment said I should try the sausage, so he gave me a plate of sausage on the house. Great service! Then when I was leaving, I said another thank you, and a young lady asked me if I wanted a tour of the smokers and kitchen! So cool! She, Kamy, turned out to be one of the owners. Had a great tour, met the pit boss, and when I told her how much I enjoyed the ribs, she said they make their own rub, and would I like a sample to take home? Of course I said yes, thinking she'd give me a little sample, but she brought out a big ziplock bag ... probably 2 lbs of rub. Amazing! They made such an impression, I went back for lunch the next day as Monday is the day they have burnt ends ... and their maple-chipotle sauce on them made them amazing! So ... there are a lot of great BBQ joints in Dallas, but they've definitely made me a fan! Thank you Kamy and the LaFaver family!

    Contemplating between ribs and brisket, I chose the latter. Between lean and traditional cut, I…read moreagain opted for the latter. Most likely due to the thin slices, the brisket dried out. Great barbecue does not need sauce. I was tempted to drown the brisket in it. First time I enjoyed the sides more than the meats. Initially, I was skeptical of the pinto beans. I would have preferred a more traditional sauce, but the pinto beans was delectable. The fried sides were made to order. As a result, they were fresh and hot when they were served about 10 minutes later. After a so-so meal, I was looking forward for soft serve ice cream. Unlike other restaurants, theirs is only complimentary with a kid's meal. Otherwise, it was 50 cents. Since many diners may not carry change, there should be an option to pay at the register. Ending on a the menu prices are inclusive of gratuity. Unlike other counter-service restaurants, their POS did not prompt for gratuity. Many ask for a tip before any service had been conducted.
