Great outdoor patio, nice view, music bumping through the speakers, cold beverages of your choice, super helpful, patient, friendly staff, had a fat brisket sandwich, rice, Mac n cheese, pulled pork and some sausage. Everything hit the spot, I couldn't find anything to be disappointed with. Definitely will be back. But I will say, be prepared to spend some money. Worth every penny

Best beef ribs I've ever had! The meat was flavorful and so tender it was literally falling off the bone. Everything we ordered was great, but I could live on just the ribs and peach cobbler!

This is one of the newer establishments that they have. They have been opened only sense late 2024. I have been to other locations, and have enjoyed them. This one was a great experience as well.Parking is available and you will have no problem. If you don't know exactly where you are going, just follow the smell of the incredible smokers outside. You will be hungry before you even get inside the establishment.I was pleasantly surprised to see that the inside of the establishment was really clean even though there's a lot going on. We went earlier on in the afternoon so it wasn't crazy. Also comedy air conditioning is excellent. If you want to sit inside and stay cool in spite of the sometimes Houston Texas weather.Every time I go to a barbecue place for the first time I got a couple of things. It's just my preference. I have to get the brisket, and the pork ribs. I was not disappointed. Both were juicy. The way that I rate the food at a barbecue place is whether or not I can eat it without barbecue sauce. This establishment past the test! Of course I did use barbecue sauce, but I did not have to if I did not want.All in all we need to get experience. The staff was great, and attentive. Everybody that served us was very respectful. They were able to answer all the questions that we had and were patient to do so. If you like Terry Black's then this will come as no surprise, but it was awesome. If you have never been, this is a great one to start with. We will be back!

Are you looking for consistently good BBQ? Visit any of the Terry Black's Barbecue location and you will be amazed at how great the bbq tastes! The service at the Fort Worth location is superb. Don't be dismayed when you see the line out the door. They do a great job of moving people through quickly. You won't wait more than 5-10 minutes. The seating is very casual but fills up quickly as it is always busy. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Just don't forget a banana pudding and a piece of cornbread!

My husband and I chose to have lunch at Terry Black's BBQ. Wow! The food is amazingly good. It's a very large restaurant and you can eat in doors or out. You go through a line and choose your sides and your beverage and then you get up to the meat counter. We thought we were going to choose brisket to share, but we saw someone choose a beef rib and we decided on that. Oh my gosh, it was amazingly seasoned tender, very meaty and delicious. It is the most expensive meat that you can choose, and two of us shared one rib. We are older and there's no way each of us could've eaten one ourselves. We sampled the pinto beans, green beans, mac & cheese, and rice. Each of the side dishes were very good, especially the mac & cheese! At the table, we were offered three different barbecue sauces. We really liked the original best. There is a huge area where they smoke the meat. We were so delighted this is the restaurant we chose on this particular day because I believe this is the best barbecue restaurant we have ever dined in. All you folks who live In the Fort Worth area are just darn lucky that this barbecue restaurant is in your neighborhood. We live far away and I can tell you that anytime we are back in this area. We will definitely have a meal at Terry Black's.
