Stopped by for the first time and I have to say the food was right on point! The sliced brisket was tender and had a good smoke flavor. The pork ribs were full of flavor with a nice bite to them. Will definitely be coming back and trying out the rest of their menu!

First time here. We got our food to go. The beans were a hit, a nice mild flavor, not salty, and had nice smoky bacon flavor with pieces of bacon, onion,and Jalepenos. The brisket sandwich was loaded with tender, lean, moist, delicious sliced brisket. And so close to home. We will be back!

Great brisket with good smoke flavor. Charro beans were good. The fried okra is the best around, fresh and hand breaded. Large portions.

Lico’s BBQ is hands down is my favorite barbecue spot you’ll find in Rowlett! The brisket is melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of smoke, the ribs are perfectly seasoned and fall right off the bone, and the pulled pork is juicy, flavorful, and packed with that authentic Texas BBQ taste. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the whole place has that welcoming, hometown vibe. If you’re looking for Texas barbecue done right, Lico’s is the spot!

Great Q every time! Service is pleasant and fast for take-out. We have never eaten in. The atmosphere is fine. It is a clean place, but nothing to write home about. The BBQ is always well done, but slightly on the expensive side. Give it a try!

The food was not original bbq. I’m so sorry, but anyone saying this is the “Best” in town, has not left this town much. Absolutely nowhere near good bbq quality. The restaurant was super cold, and I had to eat super fast just to leave. If you want original BBQ, please leave Rowlett and drive to Dallas, Terry Blacks or Smokey Joes. Trust me!

This seems to be a place that is family owned and operated, and I’m sure they are very proud of their restaurant and product. Looks like they have a good following, and loyal customers. They seem like nice people.
As far as my review, it really depends on where your bar is set for barbecue. My bar is set pretty high, so I’ll try to be reasonable. it just may be the best barbecue location in Rowlett. I am aware of another spot down the road across the lake, but it looks to be more of a home cooking/barbecue place. I haven’t been there yet either.
I was very clear when I asked for my brisket on what I wanted. Very specifically asked for lean brisket, cut from the end of the flat anyone who cuts meat for a living knows exactly what I’m saying. Yet, that’s not what I got. It was Liane, but not , the same. The smoke ring was very minimal.
The ribs I thought were pretty great.
The sausage was very middle of the road.
Mac & cheese was very runny and had very little flavor.
The beans were actually really good as well.
You have to buy drinks by the bottle, which I’m not a fan of since there are no refill options.
The place was super quiet, mainly because I was the only one there until another lady walked in.
If you’re in Rowlett, you want barbecue, I would probably recommend this over Dickies.
They have established, set hours of operation. However, I tried to have lunch here on Tuesday, but they were closed. Possibly because it was the day after Labor Day and they wanted another day off.
Anyways, I’m sharing some photos of my tray of food, along with updated prices, as of September 6, 2024

We have eaten here 3 or 4 times. The place is simple and clean and the people are very friendly. The brisket, ribs, and chicken are superb and by far the best in town. This is a sleeper that you might just drive past … it’s very good bbq.

I made a quick stop for lunch at this place and was pleasantly surprised! The cashier who took my order was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I ordered a pulled pork plate with charro beans and green beans. The food was delicious and the portions were great.

Lico’s BBQ never disappoints! Their brisket is always fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The fried okra is hands down the best I’ve ever had perfectly crispy and seasoned just right. And don’t even get me started on the desserts…absolutely amazing and the perfect way to finish off a great meal. Friendly service and delicious food every time I go. Highly recommend!
