BE STILL MY HEART!!! How do I love thee, let me count the ways!!! One-ribs; Two-BBQ chicken; Three-all the delicious meats and sides! This restaurant is an experience in taste buds explosion!! Your biggest challenge will be trying to limit yourself to one meat choice! The sides all look like grandma spent the day in the kitchen for thanksgiving! And boy was I thankful to have stumbled on this restaurant. I’m a snowbird and wish we had this franchise in NC. Treat your palate!

So Jeff… how come you give so many places a 5 Star Review… I’m glad you asked…. I’m pretty much going to only give a 5 or 1 based on a first impression and then adjust accordingly if I return and feel differently. It’s pretty much based on if the place meets and exceeds the expectations being represented by the brand and branding of the individual location and the perceived value gained as a result of patronage to the establishment. That being said… this place, whole hog killed it. BBQ was great, awesome sauces on the side, as it should be in Texas. Prefect atmosphere, friendly folks smiling and taking your order menu at the front counter cafeteria style. All the sides were down home delicious.

Friendly staff, typical bbq size meals. Friend and I liked ribs the best, brisket dry and without flavor. Green beans, no flavor. Spicy potatoes and beans good. Hot links are actually hot , beware if you can’t handle it! Banana pudding meh, pecan pie good but my first time having a flat piece of pie . Would go again and now know what not to get.

Smoked chicken was absolutely amazing and I had enough off of that one entrée for three meals. My boyfriend also had the rainbow plate and even he had leftovers. It’s very clean very service oriented. and seems to be popular with locals. I was just slightly out of town with this old man just most better than the one in Rockwall and in Garland.!

Had a 300 person event that the catering fell through on just an hour before dinner was supposed to be served. I called and MAN did they pull through for me! They managed to get as much food put together that they possibly could in record time and literally saved this event! Highly recommend these guys. Thank you SO much!

If you like bar-b-que, the you will love Soulman’s! My wife had the rib dinner and I enjoyed the Double Barrel Big-Time Tater. Thumbs up on the chicken tenders meal for the kids. They also liked the soft serve ice cream.

First time at this Soulmans location, not terribly impressed. We came on a Sunday evening, place wasn’t very busy. The manager was professional and doing his best to get customers through the line, but the service was still very slow. The chopped brisket sandwich was dry and the meat was shredded, not chopped. Portions seemed a bit small. The sides tasted good, and the restaurant and bathrooms are kept very clean. I will likely stick to the Soulmans in Hurst, better service and their meat is tastier.

I’ve been to this location a few times now and each time has been good. This location and the one in Van, TX are the best locations to me as they’re not stingy at all unlike the Mesquite and Sycamore School/Fort Worth locations. My only gripe is that I visited on 10/18 for lunch and the lady (for description purposes she was white) who was fixing my sides had her whole raw finger inside the cup before she put food in it. Then had her thumb touching my toast as she slid it down to the cashier (I was eating in). Had she had on gloves it wouldn’t have been a problem. But even if your hands are clean don’t touch my food. Needless to say I didn’t eat the sides or the toast.

I had to try this location after a bad experience with another location and was happy the food was fresh and tastes better. So far after 2 visits I really didn’t notice but the sides are priced like meals. Paying $13 for a large cabbage or Mac and cheese is not good for the pockets or anyone. I understand business and plan to continue to look for options to entertain and dine.

Update: I stopped in on 05/27/23 to grab some food for the weekend and grab my usual Slab and a half and didn’t even check it because I am used to getting a quality meal but I was shocked when I opened it up for a Memorial Day meal and noticed that I received the stingiest rack of ribs in town. If I go back I must definitely take a look at what I am buying. Very little meat on these large bones.

6/15 visit so I went by this location and picked up a slab of ribs and to quote their slogan it was mad stingy. The meat was very dry and salty. I immediately regretted the purchase and a meal wasted. The service was A+ but they seem to have lost it with the food quality and the sides prices are ridiculous. Time for a new rib place.
