I think Terry Blacks is an example of having to be careful not to auto select based on the number of reviews. Reviews just compound over time while restaurants that may be just as good don't get a chance because they are always behind in reviews. I thought the brisket was way too lean and dry. My place in Chicago has it beat my a mile. The pork ribs were much better. The sides are overpriced at $4.50 for a small boat. They do have an efficient ordering process and plenty of space. read more

The ambience is the best part about this restaurant. It's large and spacious, and the cafeteria-style ordering is fun. The food should be great for these prices. It's edible and the space was clean. The brisket was tender, with very little flavor. The jalapeño sausage was edible, and the pork ribs had a nice crust. Every single family bbq I'd attended as a kid had better meat and sides. The creamed corn was extremely sweet. Potato salad had zero flavor- some vinegar or mustard or pickle juice would have helped. The mac and cheese had little flavor, but the sauce was smooth. I looked up the recipe online and it takes care and effort which I appreciate, but it just didn't taste like much. The standout was the coleslaw. It was unique, great flavor, and was great with the meat. We had the dark cookie crumble with chocolate mousse. It's great for people with a sweet tooth, but wasn't worth the calories for me. The cornbread was very crumbly. I'm glad we finally tried this restaurant and the ambience was fun. I would return for the brisket and coleslaw and to check out the other sides when I'm in the mood to spend $50 a person. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Tray of bbq meat and sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time in Dallas and I had to come check this spot out after seeing many videos about it. Came here on a Saturday afternoon which was busy but still the line moved quickly! Parking was tough so I paid for parking across the street and walked over. Once coming it the AC was blasting got super cool inside. We got in line and started our order right away. We ordered Mac and cheese, corn bread, coleslaw, potato salad and beans along with brisket and jalapeño sausage and some turkey. We paid about $120.00 for all of this but definitely was more food than we expected for 2 people. Sat outside and it felt nice in the shade. I loved the atmosphere here and the experience! I will definitely come here when in Dallas again! read more

I understand why this place is considered an institution! It fills up fast. We came early morning on a Saturday and there was already a line. The staff was really kind at the front, we accidentally spilled a Mexican Coke and they offered us to get an additional Coke for free. It's very chill inside, lots of places to sit. You will definitely smell like bbq when you leave this place. Overall it's delicious and a great place to eat! It's got a reputation for a reason, must try if you're not from here read more

My brother brought me here for the first time. We arrived around 11 am on Sunday and the parking lot was on the smaller side & half full at the time. There is an outside tour option to see the smoking of the meats. You order at the counter and it is self seating. First, you choose your sides and desserts at the first counter then the meats at the cashier counter. There is also a bar. We ordered two beef ribs, half lb brisket, regular sausage & jalapeño cheese sausage for our meats. For our sides, we ordered Mac & cheese, cream corn, potato salad, Mexican rice, and cornbread. You can request complimentary bread slices. Our favorites were the beef ribs, brisket & Mac & cheese. The meat was extremely tender & seasoned well. The Mac & cheese is on the drier side but good overall when eating with the meats. Our least favorite was the potato salad & jalapeño cheese sausage, which was slightly on the plainer side. The jalapeño cheese sausage had a subtle spice to it, but the solidified cheese inside made the sausage a little too separated and chewy for me. I also wish they didn't charge for jalapeños. Overall, the beef ribs and brisket were delicious & our family member took to go to take back to Houston. The dining area was spacious and the restrooms were well maintained. The staff was welcoming and friendly especially the employee named Rodolfo who helped to clear our table. We would love to come back again when we're visiting the area. read more

This place is world famous, for a legit reason too. It's bomb! Loved their pork ribs. The Mac and cheese is great too. Cornbread a bit dry but a nice side to go along with their smoked meats. The line is looks daunting but moves quick. Parking in the area isn't easy but available if you're patient enough. My big gripe is the odor that surrounds and permeates the building. It's that nasty sewer smell. Not sure why they can't get with the city to correct this. You smell it heavily when in line and in the downstairs patio. It's very off putting. I could see people leaving based on the smell. read more

This is our second visit to Terry Black's Barbecue. We originally had it at their Dallas location. We were in the DFW area and decided to try it again. The ambiance was really nice and the entire staff was friendly. The outdoor and indoor dining areas were very clean and well kept. The ordering process was fast and kept the line moving. We ordered their Pork Ribs, Brisket, and for our sides we had their Mac and Cheese, Cream Corn, Pinto Beans, and Mexican Rice. The meats we got were cooked perfectly! The "tenderism" was definitely there! The brisket had a good smoke on it and the rub on it was flavorful. The pork ribs fell off the bone and had a sweeter profile to it. My husband's portion of the ribs were noticeably more salty and peppery. It may have been the fact that his cut was more of an end piece. My portion was more of the middle cut and was not heavy with the salt and pepper. The ribs in general were very good and seasoned well. adding their Original BBQ Sauce which was tangy and sweet made it all that more delicious! The sides - the pinto beans were great with pieces of meat (brisket maybe??). The Mexican Rice had a good flavor but was a little on the dry side. The cream corn was on point - sweet, creamy, and had the right amount of spices added to it. The Mac and Cheese was on the creamier side - not dried out. I thought it was a good,"average", and basic Mac and Cheese flavor. Overall, the food was great and the service was excellent! read more

First timers! We went because of the hype on social media and friends. Not a disappointment but also not a wow factor. I had high hopes for what the pricing was set at but it's really just ok bbq. The brisket and beef were great, sausage was very dry the sides were a bit bland for us.. unfortunately didn't meet my expectations. Ambiance was very busy with a lot of seating, line moves pretty fast, no reservations, mostly self serve service. Overall friendly service and cool environment. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday for a lunch and it was very busy. There's plenty of seating inside and outside but most of it was taken. We were lucky and managed to snag two adjacent tables of four for our group of eight. We got the smaller family meal and added on six cornbreads and beef ribs and it was more than enough food for eight people. It was all pretty good and you could also added sauces on the side. The family meal itself is fairly inexpensive for what you get but the beef ribs add on was over $70 so beware. Finally, your clothes and hair WILL smell like barbecue when you leave. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It had been years (literally) since my last visit to Terry Black's, and myself, my wife, and some of my best Yelp Elite comrades went there on Friday evening before the World Cup finals to "party like the World Cup fans do" when they discover Texas BBQ. We worked our way through the line, a little streamlined from my last visit, and selected vegetables. My wife and I like to share these days, especially with the crazy portion sizes, so we agreed on creamed corn, mac and cheese, and BBQ beans. I grabbed a cornbread muffin (spoiler alert: this has so much sugar, it's basically dessert) and some pickles and red onion strands finished out the non-meat course. Over to the meat counter, we summoned a half pound of fatty brisket and a quarter pound of sliced turkey. We then headed to our seat to join the others. Digging in to the goods, the brisket was moist and tender, the fat between the point and flat was easy to separate and the smoke flavor was intense. Turkey was also moist, which is far from guaranteed at these places, it's easy to overdo. We mostly did straight up meat, but the sauces were very nice, too. The creamed corn was tasty if a little runny, the mac and cheese was very thick and delightfully cheesy, and the beans were tender but not mushy, and had a bunch of meat packed in for additional flavor. All in all, a great time was had, and we left with full bellies and happy hearts. Definitely a winner! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Us and some Yelpers we know - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

See all

Terry Black's Barbecue is a fantastic Texas Style BBQ joint that has made its way to Dallas's Deep Ellum neighborhood, imported directly from Austin. After watching World Cup fans from other countries take over Terry Black's, I knew I had to make a visit. Bookmark this place, it's one of the best in North Texas. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Terry Black's has its own parking a lot - that alone deserves a star. But what makes Terry Black's so special are the smokers on display as you walk up. As you enter, the intoxicating smell of smoked meat grabs your attention as you line up to order. There's tons of indoor, outdoor, and rooftop seating. 1 Star. Service - Terry Black's proves you don't need to stand in line for hours to get great BBQ. The line starts with you choosing your sides and desserts, and once you've made your decision, you'll then order from one or 5 (or 6?) expert meat cutters. Each order is cut to order, weighed, and you pay for your meal. 1 Star. Food - Texas is known for its brisket, and Terry Black's does it very well. I'm a fan of the fatty cut, and the 14-hour smoked meat is so tender it melts in your mouth. The black bark adds a nice salt and pepper taste that enhances the flavor. There's nothing like a proper smoked brisket. The pork ribs will fall off the bone and also have amazing smoke flavor. I didn't order the Beef Rib, but if you have a big appetite (or a group of friends to share it with), go for it. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. While the World Cup is over and the tourists have left, their visit to North Texas reminded me that I don't have to drive to Central Texas for amazing BBQ. Thank you, Terry Black's BBQ for opening in Dallas and sharing your amazing BBQ with us. 1 Star. read more

While on our trip to Dallas over the weekend, the tour guide suggested Terry Black's. We came in on a Saturday around 6pm. Nearly all the seats in the restaurant were occupied. We lined up to grab our food before finding a table. Reservations not accepted. The dining area was spacious with transparent roofing to allow for natural lighting. Turkey | These slices of turkey were probably the juiciest compared to other BBQ places. Very soft and tender. Should've ordered half a pound instead of quarter pound lol. Green Beans | The green beans were cooked perfectly. It combined a juicy texture with a subtle crunch. However, it was too soupy, which made the entire dish extremely salty. Menu: Beef and turkey were the main protein BBQ items on the menu. A variety of side dishes and desserts were also available. Service: The line may be long, but it's a moving line. The staff were quick with putting together orders even during peak time. Parking: We didn't notice any open lot in the vicinity since we just walked from center of Downtown area. read more

FOOD: We ordered the family pack and shared all the sides and meat! It was so worth it. mac n cheese - it was so good! flavorful and wasn't super creamy or cheesy but enough to be tasty cream corn - super creamy and packed with flavor. this is my favorite side! it was refreshing. potato salad - decent and yummy side to have. didn't stand out compared to the rest but was still made well green beans - nice little veggie on the side to have. wasn't bold but tasted good! mexican rice - loved the flavor! the rice was made well and had flavor. chopped beef - this was pretty good if you enjoy shredded meat. it wasn't too salty and not too dry housemade sausage - i loved the flavor! it had cheese inside as well. bit salty to me but varies on taste by person. i think it had a nice combination of flavors though and cooked well. it was two pretty big links to share with the table as well beef rib - my favorite meat out of all our choices! a bit fatty but also very tender and not too salty. so much flavor! brisket - a bit dry and salty. i added some bbq sauce to it from the table for flavor but i know a lot of people like this one too. it's really a preference thing it wasn't bad but compared to the other meat choices this wasn't a standout to me Service: it's pretty fast paced so i recommend you knowing what you want to get before going up because they would kind of rush you to choose you. the food comes out pretty quick as well Ambiance: very spacious and many seats but still very limited seating due to its popularity. it has a busy yet casual atmosphere. nice stop to try some texas bbq! read more

Great barbecue restaurant, obviously there is some pretty impressive grilling and smoking equipment located on site that you can get up and close to. The pit-masters are happy to talk to you if not too busy, but they're probably pretty busy. I've had pretty much all of their meats and sides, in my preferred order if I could only order a couple, the standouts are the jalapeño sausage, beef rib, chopped brisket, and pork rib. The sides are also fantastic, for sure get the cream corn, the mac & cheese, cornbread, baked beans, and vanilla pudding are also excellent. If you're not a big eater it's easy to get way more than you can eat, and the bill can add up quickly. I spent about $150 on my first visit for 3 people, so there was A LOT of take home. Now I usually spend about $65 - $75 for 3 people. So just order small portions if you have to have the full sample course . And note the beef ribs are sold by the rib, and can be like $60 or $70 each! Upon arrival, the line can be a little intimidating if it's your first visit, but just know they are a well oiled machine and are staffed appropriately. A line out the door is somewhat typical at meal times and weekends, but does not take more than about 15-20 mins. They also plenty of seating inside and out. read more

Love Terry Black's has long been a favorite and frequent stop when I'm in TX. Cafeteria style makes it easy to order and order too much! Went pork ribs and chopped brisket this go round. Pork ribs are good but I usually go for the brisket here. Sliced was sold out and ended up with chopped. The chopped is sauce forward and too sweet. Not bad but if you have it plain you know how much better it is. Service was great. Manager stopped by to see how were were enjoying. Told him the above and he wanted to replace our food. Awesome gesture but was enjoying things all the same. Multiple locations now so it's very accessible. Hope the quality doesn't diminish supporting multiple locations read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Just... wow - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Terry Black's BBQ had been on our list after a friend recommended it based on all the hype she'd seen online. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to our expectations. We ordered three meats--the sausage, brisket, and pork ribs--along with two sides: creamed corn and green beans. Out of everything we tried, the sausage was easily the standout. It had great flavor and was the only meat I'd order again. The brisket was disappointing; while a few pieces had good smoky flavor, the majority of it was dry. The pork ribs were decent but nothing memorable. The sides were the biggest letdown. Both the creamed corn and green beans lacked seasoning and fell flat. Neither of us finished them, which is rare when it comes to BBQ sides. The food is priced by the pound, so costs can escalate quickly. For the two of us, our meal came to around $60. We considered adding the famous beef rib, but a single rib would have pushed our total to approximately $130. Given how underwhelmed we were with the rest of the meal, I'm glad we decided against it because I don't think it would have justified the additional cost. Where Terry Black's shines is the atmosphere. The large communal tables create a welcoming environment that encourages conversation without feeling crowded. The ordering process is cafeteria-style, so interactions with the staff are brief, but everyone we encountered was friendly and efficient. The location in Deep Ellum is another highlight. It's a great area to explore before or after your meal, with plenty of local shops, bars, and street art all within walking distance. Overall, I'd rate the food a **5/10**. While the atmosphere, staff, and location made for a pleasant visit, the BBQ itself didn't live up to the reputation or the price point. I left wishing the food had been as impressive as everything else surrounding the experience. read more

We had some relatives coming into town who wanted some BBQ so we came here. Terry Black's did not disappoint! We got the small pack and for a group of 5, it was more than enough protein and sides. You get your choice of 3 pounds of meat and 4 sides ( they pack your sides), the bread is complimentary. Service is serif-service where yuh order up front and choose your pickings. This place is great for small or large groups but more suited for bigger crowds. Lots of seating and parking is actually kind of hard because it gets crowded in the area and you have to pay for it but it's well worth it. Best BBQ in the area. Definitely go check it out if you haven't already. Till then, let's grub! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Small family pack; choice of 3 pounds of meat and 4 sides, bread is complimentary, but we ordered a bit more sides - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

When me and my family landed in Dallas last week, Terry Black's was the very first BBQ we tried. This is THE BEST intro to Texas bbq especially here in Dallas. We had such a great time choosing our sides and then munching on each dish. Their sides are delish and they also serve in generous portions. Everything is truly meant to share so be prepared. I love their giant beef rib. It's expensive but worth every penny. The fat is like butter and the meat is tender and literally falls off the bone. Their brisket is also amazing with a nice outer crust and tender texture. I like their regular hot link sausage instead of their jalapeno cheddar sausage; this one is too bold and odd texture with the gooey cheese. Each side was wonderful from their Mac n Cheese, coleslaw, creamy corn and corn bread. I thought their baked beans were decent but tasted too much like a chili instead of beans. It's heavy so I recommend just ordering a small size of this. I love that they already have all the lids, to-go boxes, bags, etc. at the soda fountain area. You don't have to ask for these at the front which is a plus. I wish most places did this to make things more effecient and easier. Terry's is an excellent BBQ establishment and I will definitely come back again! read more

Place was PACKED! The line went out the door and it was a Tuesday night. The food was very good - great quality brisket and ribs. Would suggest to go early before the dinner rush. The restaurant is pretty nice - very Texan! You order first then get a table.... Parking was a challenge but it was worth it. read more

The stand out MUST HAVE at Terry Blacks is the beef ribs. They're the most amazing BBQ I've ever had. The meat is insanely tender. The amount of collagen and the great seasoning was perfection. I'd personally skip out on pork ribs and brisket. And their sides are also not giving. But just the beef ribs alone put Terrys on top of the list for me. If I'm in Dallas, I would absolutely have to have them again. It's a self service type situation. You stand in line and order things from the Sides counter, the Drinks bar and the Meat counter. Then you find a table and get your cutlery. Yes there's a line but it moves quick. Very casual! read more

I've definitely had better barbecue.... Great size space and lots of space to eat. The line is very interesting. We felt rushed at the sides and desserts station. We ended up with a sampler. We got the brisket (3.5/5), Sausage (dry..2.5/5), Pork Ribs (slightly sweet flavor...3/5), Mac & Cheese (just buttered noodles..0/5), potato salad (really no flavor...1/5), Coleslaw (not your typical sweet coleslaw but decent flavor...4/5), Creamed corn (good flavor but corn was gummy 3.5/5), Peach Cobbler (no flavor...0/5) Not sure if I'd come back but yall can try it for yourself. read more

Went with the small family pack so I could try a little bit of everything. For the meats, I got the brisket, pork ribs, and sausage. The brisket was the standout for me. Tender, smoky, and packed with flavor without needing any sauce. The pork ribs were juicy and pulled apart easily, and the sausage had a great snap with plenty of seasoning. The sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the green beans had great flavor, and the potato salad was classic Texas barbecue done right. The Mexican rice was a nice change from the usual barbecue sides, and the cream corn was sweet, buttery, and hard to stop eating. The cornbread tied everything together perfectly. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere and you can smell the smoke as soon as you walk in. Even with the crowds, the line moved efficiently and the staff kept things organized. This was my first time at Terry Black's and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. If you're in Dallas and want Texas barbecue, this place is worth the trip. read more

Okay - so this is the place to be - heard from the locals, non-locals and from strangers alike - go check out Terry Black's.   And so with a full stomach from training, we ubered over to Deep Ellum to get in line and eat once again.   You order with the sides first, cafeteria style, then get called over to decide what meat/and how much meat you want.   I ordered 2 pork ribs, burnt ends, and the brisket with a side of potato salad for around $28 dollars. I also got a frozen cherry? Margarita that looked just like the bottomless pit of my stomach.   Maybe I was full or maybe we had let the food get cold by waiting for our drink but the bbq was just... okay for me.   I did enjoy how tender and not dry it was but even with the sauce and the fixings, I couldn't help but feel like Phil's bbq in San Diego was more up my alley.   Overall, I did enjoy it, it was a good meal, but maybe if I come back to Dallas- I'm checking some other stuff before coming back. read more

After seeing reviews on Rednotes and a recommendation from a Texas friend, I had to try Terry Black's for my first trip to Texas. The environment is fantastic, featuring massive smoker pits outside and an exceptionally clean interior despite the heavy crowds. Even though there was a long line of people, the service was incredibly fast and efficient; my friend and I waited less than 5 minutes to get our food. Watching the workers expertly slice the giant, juicy ribs and brisket right in front of you adds a great touch to the experience. I made a total rookie mistake thinking there was a strict 1/2 lb minimum per meat and accidentally ordered way too much food, but every single bite on our tray was phenomenal. The brisket and beef rib were incredibly juicy, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and packed with a perfect peppery bark flavor. Paired with their rich, savory baked beans and the sharp crunch of pickles and onions to cut through the meat's richness, it was an unforgettable meal. read more

I thought Texas bbq was overrated until I tried Terry Black's. No lie, best bbq I've ever had in my life! I went on a weekend late afternoon and surprisingly there was no line at this location o: the service was very fast and the cashiers were super friendly and talkative! The ambiance was laid back with plenty of seating and self service. We got the brisket, jalapeño sausage, and pork ribs. Everything was SO tender and literally melted in my mouth. I loved the sauces they provided as well/ especially the sweet and spicy sauce. Every single side dish slapped as well. My fave was the corn salad & bread! The only side that didn't wow me was the Mac & cheese. I would 100% be back and recommend to anyone who's visiting! read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Might go down as one of my greatest regrets in life...why didn't I say "moist" or "fatty" brisket??? I said "brisket" because it's what they are famous for and I assumed that it would be good regardless of what I said. I was wrong. The brisket was tough, dry, not edible. Two groups with my family got brisket after us, maybe by an hour, and asked for fatty, and they loved it. It looked amazing. I was beyond jealous. So that's why I give 4 stars instead of 5. The beef rib is special. So good. Flavorful, juicy, big. The pork ribs also special. Amazing flavor. Very tender. The turkey was good. Moist and tender. But it's turkey. Not special. The sides were all good as well. The highlights were they Mac n cheese, Mexican rice, and corn. All delicious. I kept eating. Very clean on the inside. Everyone working there very nice. read more

Terry Black's Barbecue - Food - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food: This was my first time having BBQ in Texas, and needless to say I was really looking forward to trying out one of the most highly-rated spots in Dallas. My partner and I shared 1/2 a pound each of Beef Brisket and Pork Ribs, along with sides of Mac and Cheese, Mexican Rice, Green Beans, and Cream Corn. The sides were pretty decent--the dense, creamy Mac and Cheese stole the spotlight for me. Then, as far as the meats, they had a nice smoky flavor, but they fell a bit short--not sure if it's because they've been sitting out for a bit, but it was a tad dry. In total, spent ~$70 for our order. Service: Ordering is relatively streamlined--you first order your sides, cafeteria-style, then order your meats. The person who checked us out was helpful and gave us the low-down on how to order the meat. Ambiance: Casual, rustic. Parking: Adjacent parking, but limited. However, street parking is available. read more

I absolutely love Terry Black's Barbecue, we ordered a pound of brisket, a pound of turkey and jalapeño cheddar sausage, original sausage, rice, Mac and cheese, green beans and this is by far the best out of many states!!!!! I dream of it now. The brisket melts in your mouth and it has the best smoked flavor without being chewy. Before this I wasn't a fat fan but dang brisket fat that melts like butter is fantastic. Turkey that is so juicy and cuts so easily you want more and more. This makes the traditional thanksgiving turkey look like a joke if I could have this all the time I would be here everyday! The original sausage is more of a smoked peppery flavor and the jalapeño cheddar is heaven in a sausage to die for, it has cubes of cheddar all throughout!!! Anyone in Texas or coming to the area must try Terry Black's period! read more
