Hard Eight BBQ

Great quality and experience! Upon entering, you are welcomed by a smokey aroma that is beyond great.You see the food being cooked and prepared, you get to choose exactly what you want and how much of it you want. My favorite was the regular sausage, followed by the brisket and pulled pork. After picking your meats you go inside to pick up your sauces and sides. There is seating indoors and out. Needless to say when you want good BBQ think Hard Eight BBQ!

My husband and I went to Hard Eight BBQ last Saturday evening. We had been wanting to try it for a really long time, so decided to pop in when we were hungry and in the area. First of all, there was a long line that worked it's way outside, but that was to be expected since it was Saturday evening. As the line moved, we were waiting in a very dim room. It was too dark to read signs or the menu hanging on the wall. It was a cool night so we were all cold as we waited, since all doors and windows were wide open. Next, the first guy we encountered was cooking the steaks. He was rude and impatient. My husband really wanted a steak, but after we called the guy over, and he acted like we were wasting his time, we moved along. Then, as we waited along the bar for pickles, butter, etc, there was a lady with very long dark hair cleaning up and restocking that area. As she did so, she'd bend over the bar and her long hair would go into the bins of condiments and food. It was unbelievable! Why wouldn't she have her hair pulled back if she's working around food?!? So now, let's talk about the food. We both had chicken, sausage, potatoes (sweet and Irish), and the free beans. The food was all good, and the BBQ sauce was okay, but since the restaurant was set up more like a cattle run, and most of the employees acted like they'd prefer to be anywhere but there, I highly doubt we'll ever go back.

Amazing BBQ! This is a must do every time I go to Dallas. I’ve been to two locations so far, but multiple times. Highly consistent quality and taste. I wasn’t a fan of brisket until I had theirs. Living in Memphis I thought I knew good BBQ. LIFE CHANGING this place is! Go hungry, but be careful ordering. It adds up fast. And I can’t say enough about the ribeye. I could only hope to cook it that good!

First time here after hearing about it from all of my friends, pretty cool experience and the atmosphere is very country style with all the interior decor. You stand in line to choose your meats fresh off the grill then they scale it for you. One thing that was a ripoff is that they place your meat and the corn on the cob I ordered on the scale and charge you the same for the meat price per Lb. so watch out what you get charged for. Other than that meat was tasty and fresh. Then you live on to choose your sides and it’s all an up charge for fries, coleslaw, okra etc by the time I went to cash out for 1 lb of meat with my coleslaw and a drink it was $35.
