    We got the "Showin Off Platter" for 2 Adults and 1 child. Plenty of food. This is the BEST bbq I've had. Hospitality is the best here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Warm feel great place to take the family for bbq.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brisket, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Okra, Collared Greens, home made beans, and Mac salad. Thankyou Sullivan Texas BBQ- Owner

    Turkey, jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket, double collard greens

    Excellent!!!!!!!! Terry is an amazing owner who makes you feel like you're the only customer in the restaurant The food is consistently awesome! Quality, great cooking, and top service is a combination hard to beat.

    While the service was outstanding, the food, unfortunately, did not meet expectations. I ordered the two-meat combo plate featuring ribs and jalapeño sausage, which came with two sides, Grandma's collard greens and fried okra. Jalapeño Sausage: This was the highlight of the meal. Cooked to perfection with excellent flavor. Ribs: Disappointing. Although they were smoked, they lacked seasoning and were very bland. Grandma's Collard Greens: Underwhelming. They were undercooked and had an overpowering vinegar taste. Fried Okra: Just okay. Edible but nothing memorable. I had heard many great things about this place before visiting, so I came in with high expectations. Sadly, my first visit was a letdown and felt like a waste of $28. Bottom Line: Excellent staff and service, but the food needs significant improvement.

    2 meat platter (pulled pork and lean brisket). Added a Rib and Texas Twinkie. Mac N Cheese and potatoe salad with the platter.

    Had a hankering for BBQ and wanted to support local. I went with the 2 meat platter, comes with 2 sides. I had the pulled pork, lean brisket w/ mac N cheese and potatoe salad. Both meats were on par. The Mac N Cheese was the star of the show. Sooo creamy and sooo good! The potatoe salad, was...potatoe salad. Added a rib and a Texas Twinkie The rib was amazing! Nice flavor and fall of the bone meat. The Texas Twinkie was mid for me as I personally would've liked more brisket inside. Service was spectacul[[HIGHLIGHT]]ar! Don't let the construction out front scare ya, give it a t[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]ry!

    If you want true Texas bbq experience this is a must go spot!! Portions are HUGE, prices are good and the owner and the staff are so friendly as well. Their brisket is soooo juicy and they have so many choices for sides. Their pork rib portion great for the price!! I've taken couple of my friends visiting from out of town and they were very impressed as well. We always leave here feeling extra full!! And usually have leftovers. I think this might be my new favorite BBQ spot in DFW area. Honestly it's a MUST TRY! I'm surprised it's not as well known as some other BBQ places. If you're visiting Dallas and you want good bbq, this is the place!!

    Loaded nachos with brisket
    Angelica A.

    I ordered loaded nachos with brisket, to go. Portion size was good, amount of brisket was good. Negatives were: not enough cheese (ended up with lots of extra tortilla chips), not enough sour cream, and no bbq sauce. I did think to ask for pickled jalapeños which (was an extra .50). Oh and the salsa on the side was good too. Next time I know to ask for extra sour cream and bbq sauce on the side. $14 felt high but I know bbq anywhere is pricey so it was worth it.

    We found the outside quaint and inviting. Inside was simple, tables and chairs with an open plating and serving area. We were able to order fairly quickly and our plates were ready in minutes. My son ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and mild sausage. Both were tender and seasoned. The brisket is a little salty but, tasty. Cole slaw was different in flavor but, I liked it. Mac and cheese was just ok for me but, my son loved it. I ordered the loaded nachos and was kind of disappointed. The picture on the website has pico, grated cheese and sour cream and looked delicious. Mine was just liquid cheese, chips and chopped brisket. Now the brisket was VERY good mind you. But, it looked better with all the "loaded" toppings. Loaded to me means loaded. Not just cheese and meat. I would return tho and try the loaded baked potato or maybe just some sliced brisket.

    Very long line that wrapped around the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Live music being played outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very good food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since it is so busy it's hard to find somewhere to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definetley worth the wait!

    Brisket, ribs, sausage, Mac and cheese, fries
    Matthew W.

    Very excited to try this place. Came with a family of 4, ordered 1 lb of brisket, 1/2 rack of ribs, 1/2 lb of jalapeño sausage, 1 pint of Mac and cheese, 1 quart of fries. Brisket was tender, even the lean part. Some at the table thought it was too tender and fell apart. Ribs were tender but not fall off the bone, just enough bite. Sausage was good as well. The fries were the best part of the meal, well fried and crispy. The Mac and cheese was good, but not amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was roomy with enough space to line up indoors to order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait was short.

    Brisket, Ribs, Coleslaw and Mac n Cheese
    Shawn S.

    Was in the area for work and was in the mood for BBQ. Looked for places near by and found Sullivan's. It did not disappoint, the brisket and pork ribs were tender and cooked perfectly. They added a brisket end and it was delicious, I should of asked for just a plate of those. Mac n Cheese was also delicious, some really good white cheddar Mac n cheese. Coleslaw was ok, it's hard for me to find a coleslaw I like as I like a certain style. Overall I highly recommend giving them a try if in the area and want some good BBQ.

    Whiskey Bourbon sauce
    Benetta P.

    The young lady who took my order was so incredibly nice and friendly to me. Their chopped brisket sandwich was wonderful. The brisket was flavorful and very moist. The bun was soft and fresh and delicious. The two sauces, original and whisky bourbon were both equally amazing.

    What gluten free options are available?

    It's a BBQ place so the quick answer is MEAT; tasty, tasty meat! Pick a cut, any cut as meat is naturally gluten free. Sides seems to rotate so tough to say for sure, but did I mention meat?

That all changed and was very noticeable during fathers day and especially this weekend during July 4th! The past few weeks when calling in to check for food availability or how busy it was, Ive noticed the same person answering every single one of my calls that I had to double take and make sure I called the right place! When I mentioned my concern about the massive line wrapped around the building during fathers day, mothers day and this weekend, the same lady named Kayla answered the phone. I was about to leave and she assured me that it would move fast and not to worry and that they had samples to ease some hunger while waiting. Sure enough, she was exactly right! To top it all off, after we got our food and sat down, she actually went above and beyond to come over to our table and check on us just because I had called to thank her for helping me from not leaving to the amazing customer service she provided. I let her know that is very rare now days and not to ever change that! I found out after meeting her that shes about to head out on maternity leave soon and honestly, I'm going to be a little sad when she leaves! She is a massive asset to the Hutchins team and can change the mood just by her smile and friendliness. Not only that, she gave a lot of good recommendations for trying some new foods at Hutchins and every time has been a good call! Give this girl a raise!! I wish Kayla the absolute best and I'll definitely be looking out for her when she gets back! Our server, I believe her name is Cynthia, was also fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed at the table. Excellent food, legendary customer service from Kayla, and a great experience overall! Its like our first time coming in each and every time.

The Point of Sale requesting a tip annoyed me due to the amount of self-service. The ribs were okay. There was not as much meat as I would have liked. Of the two sides, the smoked beans were my favorite. Its sauce provided plenty of flavor. The potato salad had a distinct dill aftertaste. The interior of the dinner roll was slightly warm, so it may have sat on the serving tray for a while. As with other barbecue spots, they offered free soft serve (vanilla). Frugal diners should forego the non-complimentary desserts. Unfortunately, the ice cream was softer than my preference. It's consistency similar to a very thick milkshake.

I have never thrown away food at Fat Cow, however I threw away two orders of fat japs (minus two half eaten ones that the wife and took a single bite out of) and 2/3 of my brisket taco plate. Condiments bar was just brine in containers with no pickles, jalapenos etc, brisket was dry, bacon on fat japs was cold grease coated and sickly looking, meat inside jalapenos was like shredded jerky. Had never before walked out of there smelling like dirty barbecue before, but we definitely could smell it in our clothes the rest of the night. Definitely not the Fat Cow I grew up loving.

Good seasoning and the burnt ends had a good crisp to it. I think if they cut the burnt ends smaller it would be more crispy lol I really love a good baked potato and this has to be one of the best loaded baked potato's out there! The potato was soft and stuffed with butter, cheese, bacon and chives. It's good to eat with the meats to balance out some of the flavors. I was craving a good corn bread and this one was pretty good. It was moist and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweet and corn ratio. Overall it was pretty good bbq!

Once I arrived at the counter, the cutter was preparing several cuts of meat, probably for online orders. I again ordered the Rib Half Slab Plate which was the monthly special at a $1 off. Hoping the sides would have improved, I chose the Fried Cabbage and Ranch House Beans. I did not realize both were considered spicy. While I previously enjoyed their buttermilk pie, I would not have room. The BBQ sauce was served in its own container as the ribs were moist and delicious. Nothing was needed to enhance their flavor. Without the diced onions, neither the beans nor cabbage would have been spicy. Unlike my previous experience, I did like the beans. Fortunately, I am an omnivore; otherwise, the small chunks of ham in the cabbage may have caused concern. Finally, the buttery toast was again addictive. If I had any hunger remaining, I would have welcomed myself to the free vanilla soft serve. A customer made himself a float by filling a beverage cup before pouring it with soda. A minor hindrance is that they only have cake cones and not cups.
