The Slow Bone

Slow Bone has earned a spot in Texas Monthly Magazine's 2021 The 50 Best BBQ Joints. And deservedly so. This was our 90th 'cue stop in Texas, and the 389th in a 35 state BBQ odyssey. $44.92 purchased a quarter pound of fatty brisket, a half pound of jalapeno cheddar sausage, 2 pieces of fried chicken (white meat), 2 pieces of cornbread, two hush puppies, a pint of horseradish potato salad, and a serving of Brussels sprouts au gratin. With the exception of the very dry hush puppies, everything else was on point. The brisket is buttery in texture, with good bark, smoke and flavor, but be warned: the fatty end cuts are roughly 50% fat, which we discarded. The sausage is exquisite, the chicken sensational-- a term that could be equally applied to the potato salad and Brussels sprouts. And what can one say about the cornbread? It is one of the best that we have encountered in Texas, a truly sublime bite! We highly recommend this restaurant, which has seating both inside and out, but limited parking. It's best to be there around the opening.

We arrived the place at around 2pm couple of days ago, as the only 2 Asians in the restaurant, it was our first time trying Texas BBQ. The owner was super nice to us, he was trimming the meat when seeing us had no idea where to start, so he introduced what they got and we ordered some sausages along with beef and 2 sides. The meat were excellent, tender, juicy and flavorful, the mac&cheese and mashed sweet potato added the gem on the crown. The atmosphere was also nice, you simply choose the sauce you want on the bar, everyone looked friendly to us. Definitely recommend this place!

Came here on a Saturday morning right at opening time. No wait. Friendly staff. The pork ribs, brisket, sausage, regular, and spicy. My complaint was that the food was served lukewarm because they were kept warm in aluminum foil. Otherwise the meat was seasoned nicely. Having food that is hot important to me so this missed the mark unfortunately. There are many great bbq places in DFW and slow bone bbq is solid but does not stand out. Great lemonade though

I saw the review in Texas Monthly, so I put this place on my "Must Try BBQ" list. I had to go to Dallas today and BAM!! I knew that this would be the day I get to try Slow Bone BBQ. I was NOT disappointed. Immediately upon entering Slow Bone, I knew this place was gonna be great. I had a sliced brisket sandwich, horseradish potato salad, and mustard slaw. All EXCELLENT!! The brisket was perfectly prepared. I could tell just by looking at it. Once I bit down on the brisket, my taste buds were in heaven. The bun was also perfect. I couldn't have been happier with their BBQ. I also loved the horseradish potato salad and mustard slaw, which were both very unique. In conclusion, if I lived nearby, I'd be dining here at least once a week for my BBQ fix. I can't wait to get back here. I look forward to trying their pork and their ribs. And I was told to try the cornbread pudding. I shall on my next visit.

I love local restaurants and the BBQ here met all expectations. They do not have dine in at this time but have tables outside. The brisket had the perfect smoke ring/flavor, moist, and taste was delicious. Staff greeted us with a smile and provided exceptional service. The pinto beans was my favorite side along with the hush puppies. We also tried the potato salad, not a fan due to having horseradish in it, but if you are a fava of it, then you can't go wrong! If ever in area again I will definitely stop by!!

First off, this place screams craft BBQ. You see it from the road, nothing fancy, no frills, just great BBQ. Well, they didn’t disappoint. Brisket was juicy, nice bark and night fat rendering. Smokey flavor without being overbearing, texture was solid but still tender. I also ordered the hickory smoked sausage. It was good. A little on the dry side but nothing to hold it against them. Great flavor, good texture. Definitely worth the money. Sauces: unfortunately, this is one area i feel they fall short, i tried all of them. Their house are siracha was WAY too sweet. I was hoping for spice. The other sauces were too tart i feel to compliment the meats. Price: again, i don’t mind paying for great craft bbq, but i feel the prices are a little steep. I own a restaurant so i understand meat prices, staff costs etc, but for no sides, no drink, two slices of brisket, 7 pieces of sausage and a TINY chicken tender, $30 puts a hurt on your wallet. Likely won’t go out of my way to eat here, just because of the prices. But he definitely knows his craft. Keep up the good work.

First time in Dallas for a conference, and found this BBQ place walking distance to our hotel. So we went for lunch, and we were all blown away by how tender the beef ribs were, the meat just melted in our mouths, and the briskets were so flavorful, sweet potatoes were delicious which had some ginger, cinnamon and pecans in them. Got a tamarind flavored soda, very refreshing. The owner was very nice, and the place is very clean, service was great overall. Would definitely come back again if ever in Dallas

OK this place is great. They have amazing brisket really good ribs. Believe it or not they always get the awards for some of the best fried chicken in the metroplex. So if you go definitely get at least one piece of fried chicken it’s really good. Their side dishes are amazing lots of different type of casseroles. And if you go at 11 o’clock when they open they have these chocolate chip cookies that are right out of the oven that are amazing. They could open their own store based on the chocolate chip cookies alone. The cookies aren’t as good after they’ve been sitting out for a couple hours because they tend to get really hard I don’t know why they just do. But those cookies are amazing. And believe it or not on Fridays is freaky Friday fried rice day and it will be the best fried rice you’ve ever had in your life and they put two ribs on it. I know it sounds odd but it’s unbelievable. I have taken the freaky Friday fried rice to several customers and now I get it requested every single Friday. Everyone at the restaurant is very nice especially the owner. They were awarded top 50 barbecue spots in Texas in 2022. So remember, brisket, ribs, fried chicken, chocolate chip cookies, and most of all freaky Friday fried rice!!!!!!
