Hard Eight BBQ

Awad Alshehri 2 months ago

I recently visited Hard Eight BBQ in Dallas, and it was an outstanding barbecue experience from start to finish. As soon as you arrive, you can smell the wood-fired smoke, and watching the meat being cooked over the open pit creates an authentic Texas BBQ atmosphere that makes the visit memorable before you even take your first bite. I ordered the beef ribs and brisket, and both were exceptional. The beef ribs were massive, incredibly tender, and packed with rich, smoky flavor. Every bite was juicy and perfectly cooked, with meat that practically fell off the bone. The brisket was equally impressive—moist, flavorful, and sliced to perfection, with a beautiful smoke ring and just the right balance of seasoning that let the quality of the beef shine. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and efficient despite the restaurant being busy. The ordering process was smooth, and everyone made me feel appreciated as a customer. The restaurant itself had a lively, authentic Texas barbecue atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. If you're looking for genuine Texas barbecue in Dallas, Hard Eight BBQ is absolutely worth the visit. The quality of the food, generous portions, excellent

My family and I absolutely loved our experience at Great Eight BBQ! The food was outstanding, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious, and you could tell a lot of care goes into the quality of the food. The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The staff made us feel right at home and helped make our meal even more enjoyable. If you're looking for great barbecue, excellent service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Great Eight BBQ is a must-visit. We will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my FAVORITE BBQ place ANYWHERE and I've tried ALOT of BBQ restaurants!!! Love that you walk right past the pits to let the carver know what you want him to cut fresh for you. Everything they cook.... from all the smoked meats.... variety of cold salads.... potato bar.... best jalapeno corn and mac and cheese ever.... massive portions of okra....and a hot bean bar that is free with your meal. They also have a nice selection of cobblers and pies for dessert. The place is massive and is great for small or large groups of people. They have a great outdoor eating area.... huge bar and the staff are ALL friendly and helpful.

Just completely average overall unfortunately. The Brisket, Ribeye, Jalapeño Sweet Corn were all just good, the sweet potato fries were excellent. The atmosphere was a bit chaotic for us and we had no clue what to do, but any server we encountered was really nice and helpful. The Half Chicken was not good, I could not eat it, gave it to my FIL who had to eat it with beans and pickles.

met my friend for lunch and we met up at Hard 8 BBQ, located in The Colony, TX. I have only been to one before approximately 3 yrs ago located in Coppell, TX. We were there for lunch and the parking lot was full and it was hopping mad inside the restaurant. The smell bbq filled the air. This place is neat, very clean and well organized. The meats on the grill looked really awesome, but the taste was lacking. Same experience at the Coppell location. The brisket was moist and juicy, the bread was dry, I did taste the chicken cause I got full. The onion rings were piping hot and very tasty well seasoned. My friend had the brisket and sausage also with onion rings and pinto beans. I will not even go back again to any Hard 8 BBQ they have disappointed me twice already there won't be a third. Staff here are super friendly, very welcoming, efficient and well organized. I love my BBQ and I always brag about Texas bbq, but I can't with Hard 8.
