We tried Soulman's and it was very good going down. We had a few ribs, sliced brisket, spicy hot link, ham and turkey. Everything was tasty. A few of us had stomach aches after but not sure if it was just eating too much. All in all it was fine though. read more

I've heard mixed reviews on soulmans bbq so I had to try it out for myself.I looked at the menu and decided to go with the sandwich plate.I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.The brisket was tender and the sauce was pretty tasty.Not to mention the potato salad was very good.The only thing I could complain about is how small the bun was.So it was a pretty small sandwich.Other then that I was satisfied.Im pretty picky about my BBQ and it passed the test. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - Sliced BBQ sandwich plate. - Barbeque Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

Such a a small amount of food,especially considering i weighed it out the weight of the meat and it was drastically lower than what yall portray to sell,really the biggest problem being i ordered over $100 worth of food and got only got 10% of the order when delievered,then having to drive 20 minutes to the actual store,because they failed to send the driver with all the food,and then not even being compensated with anything smh...a piece of texas toast woulda been something for the inconvenienc. wouldn't try again!!! read more

Well the service was quick. I got a two meat plate today. Let me say that we moved out of the area five years ago so when we came back the wife wanted Soulman's BBQ! The taste was great but I expected much more for a $20 plate. Quite the disappointment. Man I'm still hungry! Maybe I suppose to fill up on pickles and onions? Pretty bad when Rudy's gives you more Q! read more

Tried 'em again, just to be sure I wasn't dreaming, or they weren't just having an exceptional day when I visited the first time. Nope -- they're the real deal, they serve up some of the best chicken ANYWHERE, hands down. Do yourself a favor, and git you sum soon as you can. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - 1/2 bird plate w/green beans, mashed taters and cream corn - Barbeque Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

I was told to try Soulman's BBQ, we went straight after church. No crowd. First time here no real welcome to us newcomers and took a while for someone to ask if we were ready to order. I ordered sausage, mac and cheese, cabbage and banana pudding. The banana pudding was the best. I needed a little more flavor for my sausage, so BBQ sauce to the rescue. I don't want my meat to have to need BBQ sauce, I want to keep it as an option. The floor was sticky in some spots and slick in others. I had on my heels and almost busted my tale. read more

Ordered the 3 meat combo to be delivered by DoorDash...received order on time, however, I had ordered Ribs, Sliced Brisket and Ham. The order was 1 rib, 4 small pieces of brisket and 2 small pieces of ham...they forgot one of my sides. I called and they said I would have to deal with DoorDash...oh well, no more Soulman's... read more

Good food, great price and they have great service! Cannot go wrong here!!! I always enjoy it every time I go.

This place isn't bad for commercial BBQ, it definitely scratches the itch. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly and they have decent sides. read more

Barbecue restaurants are some of the most reliable places to eat if you follow the carnivore diet. You can almost always purchase the meat by the pound. Soulmans barbecue first impressed me at the location in Terrell Texas. I was in the mood for roasted chicken and stopped there to be so impressed with the most tasteful and moist roasted chicken ever. Yes it's more expensive than getting the chicken from a grocery store but it's way better in my opinion. I also love the way they prepare the chopped barbecue by putting it through a meat grinder. It comes out in very small pieces. read more

Great BBQ and good selection. Ribs are tasty too. Staff is very helpful and if asked will help you decide with suggestions of their favorites. read more

We have eaten here before and the food is good. This time we got takeout and we each ordered the 2 meat combo. I had 2 thin slices of brisket in mine. My husband's and son's orders were the same. We probably would have gotten a bigger serving ordering the child's portion rather than this platter. Not worth it and the last time we will order takeout from here. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - 2 meat combo means 2 pieces of meat. Exactly 2 thin slices of brisket. - Barbeque Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

Maybe a bad day, but my experience was very bad. Bad brisket. Super overcooked okra. Inept service too. Many better alternatives. Sad that this didn't turn out. read more

Five stars is a rare rating from me, but Soulman's Bar-B-Que absolutely earns it. I was recommended this place by a co-worker and I have to say that it was a gem of a discovery. BBQ is probably one of my favorite food groups of all time and I have tried everything from the tried and true Texas style, to Kansas City and the Carolinas. Soulman's was a real treat. I tried a three meat plate with Brisket, Ham and Ribs with their Ranch House Bean, Spicy Potatoes and Potato Salad. Ribs and brisket are often how I judge a BBQ joint and here I was not disappointed. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, moist and had a flavorful bark with just enough of the rub pleasantly seared to the meat. A nice, crisp bark surrounded the sliced brisket with a wonderful deep smoke ring in the tender slices that were not dry at all, like so many places. The ham was even a bit surprising. It was well textured, juicy and held a wonderful smoked flavor. What really impressed me were the sides. The Ranch House Beans had pieces of ham, sausage and brisket in them with chunks of onions and peppers. They were amazing. As was the Spicy Potatoes, a dish of pan-fried potatoes, peppers and onions. They have twelve different sides to choose from and they all looked delicious, except of course for the cabbage, but that is just a personal taste for me. Apparently on Friday nights they have a catfish fry that really packs the place out. Going to have to return and try that out. If you are in the Mansfield area, you have to stop by Soulman's and give them a try. Bring your appetite, because they are not stingy with the servings and enjoy one of the Metroplex's genuine gems in BBQ faire. read more

Good food, quick service. Sometimes the sides aren't as hot as I would prefer, but the bbq is quite good.

Very friendly staff and management. Food was tasty. Definitely will be back when in this are.

The food was just ok for me. I'm not a fan of the cafeteria vibe. Stand in a line with your tray, pick your meat and sides and at the end of line pay for your tray of food. You then find a seat, and you see ice cream bar separate from where you ordered your original tray of food, but you can't go up and get ice cream from that bar, you have to go to ANOTHER cashier area, place an order for ice cream, be given a paper to take back over to the ice cream bar to exchange for your choice of ice cream. I just didn't like the flow of things. read more

I was expecting better! The fried Okra was over cooked, and the meat was flavorless. The bread was stale, and the tea was not fresh. I even found my ice ream cone to be stale. The green beans were okay,and the staff was friendly! I ended up throwing out $30 worth if food, and this price was for an adult and child meal only. The bathroom was not very clean the floors were griddy and gross. Skip this place and visit water burger next door! read more

Fantastic!! Friendly!! Fried okra!! Effin' yummy!! Had 3 meat with sausage, ham, brisket; all above par. Even tho the fried okra was a little cold it was still very good. Spicy cabbage and Texas toast great as well. Love you folks! I'll be back for sure read more

The management and service was excellent for me. Manager Allen was sincerely apologetic about something that was unfortunate for me, but out of his control overall, and he more than made up for it. I spoke to a couple others who were extremely friendly and worked with me to make up for the incident. I left with a very happy and positive experience. read more

Our go to BBQ place went to take out only so we tried Soulmans. Good tasty BBQ but with a price tag to match. We will be back but not as regularly due to the $. Definitely recommend though. read more

We stopped here around 2:30 PM to try their BBQ. We got the three meat special for $20 bucks. That was two ribs, 4 oz of brisket, and another 6 oz of sliced sausage. The meat was cold and fatty. I couldn't eat half of it. I saw that the guy behind me got the same thing but he got some nice meat on his plate, more and better quality. Yes, this is a black owned business, that I will never return to. I felt unwanted and unappreciated. read more

brisket dry and pretty much flavorless sausage dry but decent flavor cream corn. Definately. not creamy plenty of liquid though. The green beans were good The toast was good Buttermilk pie meh Almost forgot. The spicy sauce was pretty good and needed for the dry meats overall not horrible but for $28.00 they need a lot of improvemen. read more

Awesome work staff. Very courtesy, personable, and quick. Ordered the 3 meat plate and man was I not disappointed. Great portion size of all 3 meats and great sides. Got chopped beef, hot link, and pulled pork with ranch house beans and Texas style creamed corn. Topped it off with their spicy bbq sauce. Stopped in for lunch after skipping breakfast and i dont think ill be eating dinner. Excuse my partially eaten food in the photo. It smelled to good to wait..haha. read more

Soulman's Bar-B-Que - Pulled pork, hot link, chopped beef. Ranch house beans, creamed corn - Barbeque Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

AWFUL!!!! The service was pathetic! We contracted with them for a delivery of 200 meals (sack lunch) that would include turkey, ham, pulled pork, and vegetarian. The meal was supposed to arrive by 6:30pm. We got it at 7:45pm. When we called at 6:45pm, they hadn't even started!!!! They said it would take 30 minutes. We prepaid. I guess they got their money and didn't care after that. When they finally arrived 1:15 minutes late, the two employees didn't even say hello. They unloaded the coolers and watched us hand everything out to our kids. They didn't include the vegetarian option that we requested and paid for!!!!! COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE!!!!! We have kids that didn't get to eat because of the inability to provide minimally appropriate service. The food was palatable at best. The sandwiches from a BBQ joint didn't have BBQ sauce!!!!! I can't believe the lack of attention to detail. This is very sad that people who depend on repeat business for their livelihood, are so thoughtless. I guess the upside would be that no BBQ sauce was countered by the BBQ chips in some of the bags. When we asked for a discount, they refused. However, they surely provided us with horrific service and food that was bland, tasteless, and poorly conceived. DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS LOCATION!!!! read more

Texas has the best bbq/brisket by far. We found this place while traveling for work and went back a couple of times while in town.

It was our first-time dining at a Soul Man BBQ location. We had been told that is was great, which should always make one suspicious, like getting directions and they say, "you can't miss it". It is Sunday afternoon and I suggested that neighbor friends meet us there, since my neighbor buddy just loves ribs! My wife and I decided we would get and Brisket sandwich and fries, and my buddy's mouth was watering for Ribs. Guess what! They did not have ribs available, and I was told "we don't have fries today". How can you have things on the menu but not have them available on a Sunday afternoon?! To make things worse, the servings were measured and small, and tasted no better than packaged food. We could have enjoyed a much better meal for a quarter of the price at home, and not have eaten on paper plates using plastic wear. Too many businesses have used Covid to justify cutting back on service and quality. Maybe it just the Mansfield location, but this chain is not managing their business. You pay for even a slice of Texas Toast (as a side), while most restaurants offer fresh rolls, or other enticements, but not here! Plus, hot sauces and such were empty! As I describe this, I am beginning to feel insulted. As they say, "you only get One Chance to make a Good first impression". read more

Was expecting more from A place called Soulman's the Chopped beef sandwich has no taste without the BBQ sauce the links where ok and super hot I will try this place again to see if maybe just maybe they where having a bad day but bland food is a super no for me read more

Terrible food. Terrible service. I spent 51$ on lunch for my family and all we ate was our corn and green beans. My husband's okra was oil soaked and cold so we asked for some fresh stuff and the stuff they brought out was worse. When I told the manager our food wasn't good, he offered up some fresh food. No thank you! We will not be back to this location! Cedar hill Soulman's is so much better!! 51$ spent on lunch and my family left still hungry! Pathetic! read more

Absolutluly Delicious plates, great customer service. I tried their doublebarrel potato loaded with a side of Mac and cheese and I have got to say OMG! everything was de-li-cious. Highly recommended if you are in the area. read more

She helped us with our Christmas Eve order and made us feel like we were truly important! She gave us the ultimate Soulman's experience!! Give your family a present...go to Soulman's!!!! read more

One of the best commercial BBQ joints in North Texas. It's not craft or competition style BBQ but it's consistent and reasonably priced. Definitely better than other chains. Their sweet tea good, not watery and not liquid syrup. The creamed corn is my favorite. Fried okra is also very good. read more

Had family in town. Tried everything on the menu. Not one thing I didn't like. Family loved, great BBQ spot!

Soulman's has Soul.. .. My wife and i tried it today and there was no shortage of deliciousness!! I had brisket and ribs. There wasn't anything mesmerizing about the brisket but the ribs were to kill someone for!!! My wife's pulled pork samich was bomb!! The spicy BBQ sauce, I probably could of drank all day by itself. My two sides included fried cabbages and fried potatoes, both were out of this world and should prized for "best sides" on this side of the Texas border!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was kept very clean and organized. To most of us, that should be a given, however, ive been to places where there was food under the tables, on the ordering menus or left over trash from previous patrons. Not here. The staff presented themselves very professional and worked quickly to ensure that all customers were well taken care of. The atmosphere was of course filled with things around Texas, including tribute to our local highschool and college football teams, which I love. Nolan Ryan's picture was up too, I dont remember why... the wonderful smells of BBQ kept my attention somewhere else. Suck it Robin Ventura.. . Don't mess with Texas!! So... Thats about it.... . Go now. Its great, you'll love it!! read more

The young gentleman with the blonde hair cutting the meat, gets 5 stars. I should've asked his name. Cut that brisket like it was a meat slicer. read more

I ordered Christmas dinner from Soulman's Bar B Que in Mansfield over 2 weeks in advance. I had a scheduled time to pick up my order at 5pm on Christmas Eve. When I arrived I was told they "overlooked" my slab or ribs on the order and was completely out. I wasn't happy but opted to let them replace it with chicken. Then they told me they gave my potato salad to someone else and was also out of that item. They offered to replace it with another vegetable. I also wasn't happy but agreed with the exchange. When I got home, I realized they left out the rolls and the barbque sauce. I went back to the restaurant and was told they were out of rolls. I had to make another trip to the gro store to pick up the items they left off my order or gave to another customer. The manager didn't offer to refund the $$ for the missing items or the difference between the cost of the chicken versus the ribs. The items were supposed to be cold with instructions to reheat but the items were hot and ready to eat on Friday. After putting them in the fridge overnight and having to reheat them again on Christmas day, the chicken was brutally tough and dry although heated to exactly 165 degrees, the sausage was a grease pit after being reheated. I was very disappointed in my order considering it cost a tremendous amount and the frustration above. I used to order from this location frequently but their quality and service have tanked. *** UPDATE*** I would like to add that Austin called me today and was very apologetic about the issues above. He made it right and did what any good manager would do. I appreciate the follow up and rapid response from him. read more

I've visited this establishment twice. Both occasions they were out of something. 1st visit, no ice cream. Tonight no iced tea. How do you run out of Iced tea? Not coming back... might be out of beef next trip. read more
