Great Texas BBQ Experience Near the Museums This was our first time trying Terry Black's BBQ, and someone recommended it to us because it's conveniently located near the museums. We were really craving Texas beef ribs and brisket, so we decided to give it a try. We were told that the beef ribs, brisket, and sausage are must-tries, and honestly, we were very happy with our meal. The BBQ had great flavor, and the portions were huge! It was definitely a lot of food for us, but we were happy to try everything. I know there are other BBQ spots that are considered some of the top places in Texas, but we also heard about the long lines and parking challenges. One thing I really liked about Terry Black's is how convenient it was for us to walk there from the museum. When we arrived, it wasn't too crowded, which was perfect. Funny enough, just a few minutes after we sat down, a big crowd suddenly came in! The interior has a nice BBQ atmosphere, and the hospitality was wonderful. It's not the cheapest BBQ, but considering the generous portions and the overall experience, I think it's worth trying. For our first Texas BBQ experience, we had a great dinner. Definitely satisfied our craving for beef ribs and brisket! I also noticed a lot of customers, including people like us, had these happy, excited faces when their food arrived. You could tell some of them were trying those huge Texas beef ribs for the first time, and honestly, I think we had the same reaction! The beef ribs are definitely something you have to see in person. read more

$75 worth of hurt feelings I wanted to love Terry Black's. I really did. The reputation had me prepared for a life-changing Texas BBQ experience. Instead, I spent about $75 learning that expectations are the thief of joy. Let's start with the good...the ribs were good. Tender, flavorful, and easily the best thing on my tray. Unfortunately, they were also carrying the entire meal on their back. The brisket? Dry. In Texas. At a BBQ restaurant. I'm still processing that. The mac and cheese looked like it was about to do something spectacular and then proceeded to taste like... absolutely nothing. Beautiful color. Great noodles. Seasoning apparently had the day off. The baked beans? I would like to respectfully move on. And then there was the banana pudding. I don't know what that was, but I know what banana pudding is, and we were not properly introduced. There was an enormous amount of whipped topping happening, though, so if that's your ministry, you may be blessed. The pickles and onions were solid, which feels like a concerning compliment to give a BBQ restaurant after spending $75. Maybe I ordered wrong. A friend immediately informed me that the brisket "don't hit" and that I should've gotten more ribs. Information that would've been useful approximately $75 ago. Terry Black's clearly has plenty of fans, so maybe this was an off day or simply not my kind of BBQ. But for the price and the hype, I expected considerably more flavor and considerably fewer regrets. Would I go back? Possibly...to give the ribs another chance and try something different. But the brisket and I have concluded our business together 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

The brisket was anlittlw dry, which was VERY disappointing. The turkey was fine, the ribs had too much black pepper in the rub, otherwise they were pretty good Service - great!

This is Terry Black's - what more can be said? The service is prompt, helpful, and friendly, as always. July 2026 visit - brisket was perfectly smoked and flavorful. Turkey was moist and seasoned just right. Coleslaw and green beans were fresh, vibrant, and not too heavy on either of their flavor profiles. They balanced out the meal as needed. Loved, loved my experience here and would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting genuine Texas barbecue done right. read more

Came back for a second time... and the food just didn't hit as much as it did last time. Mostly the brisket. The ribs were fantastic. Brisket was dry. They gave me three end pieces and all were as hard as a rock... even the fatty piece I got, the non fat parts were dry read more

I was not impressed by the alcoholic beverages, especially the black margarita. It was really watery, heavy on the alcohol and not mixed well. The black color was also not appealing.

I'd say this place was absolutely delicious!!! Only didn't give 5 stars due to price but bbq these days is expensive. We tried the green beans which were great, the potato salad, Mac and cheese and all were good! The staff was friendly. Ambiance was what you'd expect for a bbq joint. Clean and comfortable. The bbq beef rib was super good, and the ribs were delicious as was the jalapeno cheddar sausage. Go check it out! read more

I was visiting my fam in Texas. I love barbecue and Terry Black's had always received the best ratings. Now, I know why! Hands down, this was the best barbecue that I've ever had! I went for lunch on a Tuesday and avoided all the long lines. The gentleman behind the counter asked a few questions about my BBQ preferences and began slicing and preparing my amazing lunch plate! I'm sorry, that I didn't capture your name. I appreciate you and you deserved proper recognition. The BBQ was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed Brisket, Spare Ribs and Coleslaw. Everything was absolutely amazing! read more

Always a fav bbq spot of ours. The brisket is always good. The beef bone is even juicier and fattier. The cream corn is my fav side dish. The Mac and cheese was very good today too. Last time is was a bit dry. Today it was perfect cheese consistency. Everyone in the group enjoyed their bbq. I just wish the pickles/onions/jalapeños could be self serve like at other bbq joints. They are quite stingy on the pickles/onions and jalapeños priced per piece. The bbq sauces are very good. I love the sweet one. It's like a honey mustard base I think. read more

First time at Terry Black's, and it did not disappoint. This was our first stop upon arrival and I don't know if it was the hunger or just how good the food was, but everything was fire. There was a line, but it moved quickly, and there's plenty of seating both inside and outside. We ordered a little bit of everything to share between three people, which came out to $120+, but it was worth it. FOOD REVIEW Brisket (fatty) - 5/5 Juicy, tender, and packed with smoky flavor. Beef Ribs - 4/5 Not usually my go-to, but the kids really enjoyed them. Jalapeño Sausage - 5/5 A must-try. The flavors came together perfectly--so good and it wad mid-spicy. Mac & Cheese - 4/5 Not my personal favorite, but again, the kids liked it. Cream Corn - 5/5 So good we had to get seconds. Green Beans - 5/5 Really good! Potato Salad - 5/5 Really good! Banana Pudding - 5/5 Another one we went back for, definitely worth it. Cornbread It's in the photo, but we didn't get to try it... the dog beat us to it. The staff was amazing, and even the other patrons dining in were super friendly. I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm taking a frozen brisket home with me. Thank you, Terry Black's, James, and Dakota for an amazing Texas BBQ experience. read more

Today was an absolute horrible experience from the time we entered the Restaurant until we walked out. We started off by ordering sides and the lady was absolutely rude. I mean disrespectful in every way. We asked if they had baked potatoes. Response was do you see baked potatoes. When we got over to order the meat, we set our tray down so we could read the meat offerings. The lady taking the order "demanded" we move our trays to the other side. Frustrated I explained we couldn't see the menu and therefore couldn't order the meats. The whole experience was handled poorly. When talking with "the Manager" he could tell we were upset by how we were treated and went in defense mode. We left immediately. Terry blacks may have good BBQ but the Fort Worth location has a major customer service problem. No smiles. No warm greetings. Not one friendly person except from the guy outside by the Grills. We drove here From Rhome Texas...good news is Hurtados is right around the corner. read more

My mom and I went to Terry Black's for an early dinner. It was both our first time eating there. We told the lady at the counter close to the door that this was our first time there. She came from behind the counter to explain how to order and explained the menu to us. I thought that was super nice. The restaurant was nice and clean. Plenty of seating inside as well as patio seating. The patio was actually really nice. Now let me tell you about the food! We had pork ribs 10/10, brisket 10/10, jalapeño & cheese sausage 10/10, pinto beans 10/10, potato salad 10/10, Mac & cheese 10/10, cornbread 10/10, but I put the cornbread in the bowl with the pinto beans made the two 20/10, and some tea. I thoroughly enjoyed Terry Black's barbecue. I will definitely be going back. read more

Hey y'all. Just wannna let you know where to forward my mail cause I ain't leavin! Man. This was far and away the best bbq I have had (aside from that spot in Pearland) in my life. The entire experience makes me wanna sing the Oompa Loompa songs as I dance in the streets with beef tallow smackin to my lips. Man. So yeah. They serve BBQ here and it's obvious that they take it rather seriously. Dude working the fire pit at the smoker nodded to me like I just got off a day long cattle run and in my defense, I do work for a consulting firm. lol! The meat is served by the pound and they have a bunch of sides too!!! I went big big with a half pound of brisket and 3/4 pound of pork ribs. Absolutely delicious and juicy and seasoned to absolute perfection!!! But also I could taste the beef flavor. True good ole cow!!!! Just divine. So yeah. I'm gonna just live here til I can't afford to eat bbq anymore. read more

Just stepping out of the car to smell the smoke wafting from this establishment lets you know that ecstasy in BBQ awaits (Post-Oak, we found out is the key to the smoke). Minutes from the Ft. Worth Stockyards, this location is absolutely beautiful inside and out. We were welcomed by the pit masters on the way to the main entrance to have a quick tour of the open pit and numerous smokers, before we even stepped inside the restaurant proper. "You wanna see what you'll be eating?" It was a mesmerizing and humbling experience to see what these guys do to bring real Texas BBQ to locals and tourists alike. The ordering process is pretty simple by looking at the multiple chalkboards (I'm paraphrasing here): 1) Giddy-up and get in line! 2) Order your sides 3) Choose your meats 4) Enjoy your feast! Local beers and assorted bottled soft drinks are on ice along the queue, where the cashier will gladly pop the tops for ya. Watch the skilled carver slice fresh meats right out of the warmer to your liking and weigh each morsel in front of your starving eyes. Our party of 6 ordered a 3 pound family tray with plenty of sides, and dessert was destroyed Man Vs. Food style in about 30 minutes. All 3 sauces on the table were a dream come true and helped develop the requisite "meat-sweats." Even the "spicy" sauce was just full of flavor instead of tongue-melting heat. Terry Black's - you are the new King of 'Cue for our family. Thanks for an amazing experience and continued success! read more

On my quest to find the best BBQ in Dallas, I ended up here. My husband and I went with some friends and shared: - Brisket - Pork Ribs - Turkey - Beef Rib - Coleslaw - Mac & Cheese - Cream Corn - Pinto Beans - Potato Salad Starting with the meats: the beef rib was incredible. I wish it could be included in their specials, but it is worth getting on its own. I was very disappointed by the brisket. It was kind of dry. I don't think they gave us any fatty brisket and I had higher expectations. I enjoyed the turkey and pork ribs. For the sides: the cream corn was hands down my favorite followed by the coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of the Texas BBQ Velveeta Mac & Cheese, but theirs was fairly good for what it was. The potato salad was good. I didn't like the beans. My top recommendation is to get the beef rib and make sure you ask for fatty brisket. read more

Fun, friendly service. Priced by the pound so when you order you let them know what meats you'd like and how much. More expensive than other BBQ places around DFW. Brisket is tender and a little fatty so it comes out super flavorful. Beef ribs have a good seasoning! And they fall off the bone. Cheddar jalapeño sausage also flavorful, but not as juicy as others I'm had more on the lean side, which isn't bad. All of the sides were delicious with good flavors! read more

This was my first time eating BBQ in Texas and it was good, but I think the meat could've been better. I DO like how easy it of to order at this location and the variety of sides they have. The variety is what made the meal tbh. Service was super friendly and quick! And there's plenty of seating here Indus and outdoors! The brisket was room temperature and too dry & lean for my liking. It's nice that they cut it fresh for you at the cashier, but then the meat just sits out...idk. Just want the best BBQ brisket I've had. The spicy sauce saved the brisket. Sides were good and big portions. Overall, a good place to come with friends and family, but I don't think this chain has the best BBQ. read more

This is a great BBQ spot! The green beans and Mac n Cheese were delicious! Pinto beans were lacking in flavor. Cornbread muffin was fall apart good! The brisket was so flavorful. It was really good but not the tenderness where it falls when you pick it up. Pork ribs were really good also but super fatty. For the price we didn't get much meat. Overall we paid 90 for 2 individual sides, one pint side, 1/3 lb of brisket and 5 pork ribs. The inside of the restaurant was loud so we did sit outside. Great spot even though it was a little warm next to their smokers and on a hot July evening. It's cafeteria style so you stand in line to order and grab food. read more

A vegetarian's review of Terry Black's, and I was impressed!! My friends and I stopped by Terry Black's on a Saturday afternoon. I was expecting a long wait, but this place runs like a well oiled machine! Super fast and efficient, plus there's tons of indoor and outdoor seating! My friends tried the brisket and ribs and absolutely loved it. We tried most of the sides (Mac and Cheese, Green Beans, Coleslaw, and Creamed Corn). All of them were absolutely delicious and super filling!! If you have to pick one, the Mac and Cheese is a must try. All three barbecue sauces they offer might have been some of the best I've ever had. I hate smokey sauces and loved how these were sweeter! Can't wait to bring more friends back here! read more

I'm so glad there's a Terry Black's in Fort Worth so I don't have to go to the hell hole that is Deep Ellum. This place is one of my favorite BBQ places! This location has a parking lot and it's in a nice busy area. This location isn't as big but I don't mind since the ambiance is better IMO. When we got there there wasn't a line so we got our food right away. We ordered Brisket, jalapeño sausage, BBQ beans, potato salad, and green beans. I always order brisket, they make it so tender and juicy. I also had to get one of their black margaritas! read more

I was so excited when they started building Terry Black's in Fort Worth. I've been to the Austin location a couple of times, and it's always packed, so I had high expectations--and they did not disappoint. Their meat is definitely superior compared to other BBQ places around, especially the brisket. It's tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I personally prefer the regular sausage over the spicy one, but both are great options. Now let's talk about the sides, because they deserve their own spotlight. The creamed corn and mac and cheese are to die for. I could honestly eat a whole pint of each by myself, even without any meat. The corn is perfectly creamy, sweet, and salty all at the same time. The mac and cheese is rich, super creamy, and not dry like you find at a lot of BBQ places. Customer interaction is also top-notch. They even let you go up to the pit, show you around, explain their cooking process, meat temperatures, and the types of wood they use. That was really impressive and made the experience even better. Overall, the Fort Worth location is a definite 10 out of 10. Amazing food, great service, and an awesome experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very good BBQ. This was the first time I have ever been in Texas. A co-worker and I went to see a Dallas Cowboys game, and we stayed in Ft Worth. We decided to get some barbecue and picked Terry Black's Barbecue thanks to Yelp! Food: Really good, what else can be said about good bbq. Service: Nothing spectacular, because it's all self serve. You wait in line, order / get your food, (which was not cheap$$$) go find a seat. I don't believe anyone checked on us because you get your own refills. Ambiance: It was nice. There are places to sit indoors and out. A poor woman had her kid, who was autistic, were eating outside. The kid was screaming at the top of his lungs in non intermittent bursts, but everyone politely ignored him. It was actually heartening to see the empathy felt for them manifested by EVERYONE at the restaurant. We were all giving off the "It's ok" vibe. We don't mind. Something that endeared me to this visit to Terry Black's and the state of Texas. read more

The brisket was good, but I wish I had got more of a middle piece it was a bit too lean and dry of a cut I received. The Mac and cheese was good but not something I'd get again.

Honestly, for my first time at Terry Black's barbecue, this was amazing. The food was super good tender fall off the bone and juicy. I didn't even have a tried chewing because it was just that good. I love the turkey and lean brisket. And our people w Honestly, the staff was really helpful and patient in explaining the differences between fatty and brisket, along with all the other cuts. Even though it was packed, the service was fast -- very much an in, eat, and out kind of place. Seeing the pit was a highlight. I even caught sausage that had gone in about an hour and a half earlier, sitting at around 170° and just starting to get color -- real low and slow in action. The only downside for me was the sauces. The spicy BBQ still leaned too sweet. The sides, though, were excellent, and the complimentary bread was a great touch -- I even saw people taking whole loaves to go. The atmosphere was electric, with families everywhere and a really lively, global feel. It is on the pricier side, but honestly feels justified for the quality and experience. read more

We wanted to change up Thanksgiving dinner this time. It's been a busy year, so we really needed that extra time to not cook or heat up food. We were content with the large family pack option that included 6 lbs of meats and 5 quarts of sizes. It was very easy to pre-order online, and the food was ready for pick-up at the scheduled time. The sliced brisket was very juicy and fatty. I really enjoyed the seasoning of the turkey. The green beans, potato salad, and mac & cheese were pretty average tasting. If you have a sweet tooth, go for the banana pudding - it's so good! I will say I typically am not a fan of coleslaw, but actually liked this from Terry Black's. The large family pack we bought was meant to feed 10-12 people, but we purchased it for five people to have leftovers. Plus, we all treated ourselves to a second plate. We're thankful for the good food and company! read more
