2 meat plate
Teresa L.

Solid bbq and sides. Portion was fair on the 2 meat plate (brisket and ribs) but not so good on sides (Mac cheese and cabbage). Very small portion of bbq sauce served with meal. Had to wait at the counter while my meal got cold, to ask for more. Not good for a $22 (before tip)meal. How much does sauce cost? Ask for more sauce when you dine here, so your food doesn't get cold. Cafeteria style service and self serve drinks. Friendly staff and clean dining area.

2 Meat Plate

I didn't realize Soulman's was a chain until my GPS took me en route to this one and I passed two other locations. Perhaps that is because once I saw their brisket and ribs I had tunnel vision. It could also be that their spicy barbecue sauce had me at 'hello' with Lionel Ritchie on the radio as I pulled into their parking lot. Regardless, I think Soulman's does a great job of cranking out quality. The order was about $46 for two of their 2 meat plates, two drinks, a single meat plate and a side of banana pudding. We wanted to get a little of everything because when in Dallas, you get barbecue! The meat order included chopped brisket/smoked sausage/ smoked turkey/ribs. Their ribs had a beautiful bark and the brisket was moist. The sides were macaroni and cheese/okra/spicy potatoes/fried cabbage. I couldn't understand why everyone didn't get the fried cabbage!? There were pieces of smoked sausage and bell peppers fried in with the cabbage. It was everything my road trip heart asked for. The okra was perfectly crisp and not oily. Every member of staff I encountered answered my questions, I think I had twenty. I asked about the barbecue sauce, spices in the sides, the banana pudding and I'm sure they knew I wasn't from around here. I had so much food left over I had a whole spread for the next day. I consider Soulman's to be a local staple that has consistency worth coming back for. If you don't slide into one of their locations in Dallas, you'd miss out on the happiness their BBQ brings.

Expensive for the quality of food. They only charge that much because of the helping size. But you can't polish a turd.

Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

This is exactly the kind of hole in the wall lunch spot you'll miss if you're not paying attention…read more I literally drove past it twice before realizing it was right there. It's also one of those "if you know, you know" places, and clearly people know, because the to-go orders were nonstop. The second you walk in, you're hit with cases of fresh baked bread, and pastries. The almond pistachio croissant was the biggest one I've ever seen and had me drooling before I even placed my order. It is counter service, and I went with a Mediterranean sandwich with chicken while my lunch date got a classic BLT. Both were incredible, super fresh ingredients, excellent flavor, and next level fresh bread/ flatbread. Try the sourdough ! You can tell this place is legit because you see everyone in there from construction workers, people, in scrubs, law-enforcement, executives, all grabbing lunch. When that many hard-working people trust a spot, you know it's got to be good. If you're in Garland, add this place to your must try list. It is an excellent lunch spot.
