I thought Sammy's was alright. It just didn't seem to be my style of bbq and the potato casserole was room temperature and dry. The service was fast and friendly, but overall I think this style of bbq isn't for me.

Not very friendly. The BBQ is below average. I believe maybe it's for Canadians. Very pricey! Someone needs to remodel and a new chef needs to take over.

You gotta love a place that puts the Gonzales Flag on its takeaway cups. But Sammy's also has a great room (albeit with odd temperature zones), good eats and friendly workers who checked on us repeatedly while we lingered for hours. Good prices, I suppose (cheaper than where I'm from, if not inexpensive). The brisket and jalapeño sausage were quite good, the pork loin was fine and the sauce was not really that exciting (sweeter and less piquant than I prefer). The sides I had (mac and cheese and potato casserole) looked a lot better than they actually were. Portions were generous for the price. Certainly not the ridiculous crowds one sees at some places on a Saturday. I'd certainly return and I'd bring others (I could go for more of that brisket right now, the next morning). Looking forward to doing so on my next trip to the neighborhood, in fact.

One meat plate

Went here for lunch with a co-worker. The place has a super chill vibe with indoor/outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly and ordering was quick and easy cafeteria style. They have the basic meats and a good variety of sides. I had the brisket which was done well enough (no puns here). I did need sauce with it as it was on the dry side. I really really enjoyed my sides though. The Zucchini casserole in particular was yummy. It's a good spot for a casual meal.

Zucchini casserole

We went around 1:30 on Friday afternoon for lunch. That probably says most if we're talking about the brisket that was left on the day. The brisket wasn't the most flavorful and a little more fatty than I'd liked, but there has to be some fat for the flavor. They also didn't have fried okra, which I heard was a go-to for sides. I had the brisket plate with zucchini casserole. Think of stuffing mixed with steamed zucchini. For not being a zucchini fan, I was surprised at the taste and consistency. Thick and filling as you'd expect, I recommend! The service was speedy and although I asked for someone lean to the brisket, it was more fatty. The place would be a great venue for happy hour if there was an additional bar, but it looks like the offer music at certain points in time during the week.

I had my fill...and then some.

Great food! Super tender flavorful brisket. My ribs were fall off the bone. And this is my first time saying this when referring to chicken breast, but I thought it was the star of the show. The staff were absolutely friendly and welcoming to my large loud family. I will be back. Gladly.

Chopped Beef mea with Topo Chico!
Cameron B.

I happened to get stuck in Dallas on a long layover and decided I wanted to leave the airport for some authentic Texas BBQ, and this place was all that and more. Not only was the food great, price wasn't too bad, and the restaurant had this great Texas vibe that I love. They even had Topo Chicos In the drink fridge!! And to top it all off, all the staff were extremely friendly, the owner even helped show me how picking up food works as he could see it was my first time. Next time I'm stuck in Dallas, I'll definitely be stopping here again!

Chopped Beef Sandwich, Potato Casserole, Caesar Salad
Edmundo R.

Some tasty brisket and plenty of sides. I had a chopped brisket sandwich, caesar salad and potato casserole. Some barbecue places serve their chopped beef already mixed with the sauce so you have no options to toggle the strength of the sauce to meat ratio. Here they don't pre mix it and you get to take control of life again! Don't forget to order a drink so you can take your souvenir cup home - I love those things. We sat outside and enjoyed the music for lunch. I should have gotten a dessert- I'll be back!

Here's a cleaned-up version that keeps your personality and food-review voice:…read more Cattleack BBQ DID NOT disappoint. Right now, on my highly curated list of the 25 best BBQ spots in all of Texas, Cattleack sits at #12--so obviously I had to try it, especially because it's literally down the street from my new place. I knew how that line could get, so I pulled up at 10:05 AM . Basically had BBQ for breakfast. And since I plan on hitting ALL 25 spots on my list, I made sure I tasted a little bit of everything so I could give it a proper review. First test: THE RIBS. I'm from St. Louis. Ribs are always going to be one of my first tests of whether somebody can really throw down on the BBQ pit. I got a whole pound, and they were GREAT. Passed the test. Then came the Toddfather sandwich... WHEWWWW. Brisket, smoked sausage AND pulled pork all on one sandwich. My God. So good. To finish off the meat test, I got one big piece of fatty brisket. Excellent. Exactly what I wanted. Now the sides... The mac & cheese was surprisingly GOOD. And if you know Texas BBQ, you know finding a BBQ spot with mac & cheese that can actually hold its own isn't always easy. The burnt-end baked beans had a great smoky flavor, but there were almost TOO many burnt ends in them . I was like damn, can I get some beans too?! Still good though. And finally, the banana pudding? FIRE. It was like a fancy version because it had a toffee flavor to it. Cattleack absolutely delivered. Love the vibes inside and out. This is officially a Ken's Approved Restaurant and earns the KenStar of Approval. 12 down... the journey through Texas BBQ continues.

This has been on my list for a long time, and I finally got a chance to try it out over the summer…read more I live in Fort Worth and their hours are not convenient for me to get to them, thats why it has taken me so long to try them. I read about the long lines and the lack of parking, but when I visited, it was maybe an hour before they closed, so I was actually able to find parking right outside the front door, and there was no line. There were also plenty of seating inside. When I got there, they were out of certain items, but that was expected since they are in high demand. Since it was just me, I ordered half a pound of brisket and half a pound of ribs along with a side of mac and cheese. To be honest, it did not live up to its hype. The brisket was a little dry, and for how much they charge per pound, I was expecting more meat than fat. The ribs were my favorite, and the mac and cheese was ok too. I got my order to go, and they only gave me a few sandwich bread slices and like 2 small containers of pickles. I think next time IF i go and IF i happen to be in the area i will try to eat inside that way I can get more of the bread/pickles because i love those on my BBQ.

We showed up at Lockhart Smokehouse right when they opened, so we were literally the first ones…read moreinside. The restaurant had that true Texas feel, with all the old-school western decor and the smell of BBQ in the air that made it feel like we had stepped into the wild west. The staff were super nice and went above and beyond. They gave me some really good cuts of meat, and I even got to watch them slice the brisket. That alone was worth it. We ordered half a pound of brisket, a jalapeno popper, with mac and cheese. The popper was incredible. Creamy filling inside, wrapped in that sweet candied bacon with a smoky, slightly Cajun flavor. The mac and cheese had a nice spicy kick too and was super comforting. But the brisket... WOW. Tender doesn't even explain it. The meat practically fell apart. It was juicy and had that deep BBQ flavor. And those little pieces of fat, those were my favorite. They melted into the meat and made every bite richer and almost buttery. This was the moment Texas BBQ finally made sense to me. That brisket was out of this world.

Lockhart is a well known but casual and unassuming BBQ restaurant. No nonsense service, food best…read moreordered by the pound. We had the brisket and ribs. The ribs were good but I've had better. The brisket though, was just beyond reproach. I went for dinnet after having a considerable lunch and ended up eating a whole pound of brisket almost without noticing. No sauce, not even a pause for a drink. I highly recommend this place.

He mentioned the one next to Dallas Farmers Market, which was a 10 minute walk from my hotel and 2 minute walk from V12 yoga studio. I really appreciated the recommendation as it was the best thing I ate during my latest trip. I headed over to Hurtado after taking a Tuesday evening class at V12 Yoga. I strolled into a pretty busy restaurant around 6:45pm. The staff member at the register said there was a private party at 7:30pm, so it was going to get even busier. I realized the place had more than just bbq. I initially went into the restaurant with my heart set on a 1 meat brisket combo. I found that I was in for a treat, because they also offered Tex-Mex. BBQ AND TEX-MEX?! How does one choose one over the other? I decided to get the best of both worlds and ordered the brisket tostada and chips and guac for good measure. The brisket tostada was fantastic, and it was so reasonably affordable. $6-and change for the crispiest tostada shell loaded with fatty brisket (I made the request for fatty), onions, cilantro, and cheese. It well exceeded my expectations and could put nacho plates to shame. Thoroughly enjoyed the chips and guac. The guac tasted fresh, and the chips had a bit of cayenne for a punch of flavor. Bonus points for their tangy, spicy salsa.

Disappointing experience--drive past this place and go elsewhere!…read moreWe drove all the way from Van Alstyne to try this place based on the hype, but unfortunately, it was a massive letdown from start to finish. The Brisket & Menu Limitations: When ordering, the cashier asked if we wanted more or less fat on our brisket. We specifically asked for less, but ended up with a plate that was practically all fat and very little meat. To make matters worse, they don't let you see the food before it's served. Add in the fact that they wouldn't let us order two of the same meat, and we were forced to settle for items we didn't even want because they were already out of so many things (no sausage, no Twinkies, beef ribs, etc.). I understand running low later in the day, but being restricted on what you can order while they're running out is just frustrating. Drinks, Sides, & Sauce: Two out of the three soda machines were completely out of order, and the third one had no ice and only dispensed flat soda. As for the food, the street corn was watery and flavorless. The only bright spot was the mac and cheese, which was actually good. However, the barbecue sauce was genuinely terrible--I would honestly rather use ketchup. Customer Service: To top it all off, the cashier was rude and had a bad attitude the entire time. Needless to say, we won't be back, and I highly recommend skipping this spot. If you want great barbecue, save your time and gas and head to Hutchins or Tender instead!
