OAK'D BBQ

So good! And SO much food! We ordered a platter of 3 meats (burnt ends, chicken, and ribs), 2 sides of brussel sprouts, and 1 side of mac n cheese. Everything was so tasty and filling, we didn't really even need bbq sauce. They also have all homemade desserts so we had to get their chocolate chip cookies...so wonderful. If you want a not so little treat, this is the place to go.

Visited for the first time on a busy Saturday evening on the recommendation of a friend. The place has a good vibe, and the happy hour was pleasant. Staff is friendly but that's where the good vibes end. If coming for happy hour and appetizers then this place is cool. However, if coming for dinner I can't recommend based on value andI tried the brisket, ribs, potato salad and beans. The meat portions are small, and the food is cold. The ribs have very little meat. The bbq sauce is not very good. The two meat plate consisted of 2 ribs and 2 slices of brisket. I consider that portion an appetizer, but for $24 including the sides, it is a hard pass. I believe this place was good before it became so busy. I'm sure when it was a little joint it was tasty, but after becoming so busy, the quality has slipped. Once again, the employees were nice, and the vibe was good. Perhaps, a burger next time will be better? To be continued...

We went for a Saturday night dinner with friends and had a great time. Service was outstanding, food was fabulous and we enjoyed our meal at a comfortable corner table with access to the bar in an environment that allowed for conversation and without interruptions.I ordered the Governor brisket sandwich with a side of brussel sprouts. Thank goodness for takeout containers - I was able to enjoy two meals from my leftovers. Pork belly burnt ends, turkey, sliced brisket, beans, mac and cheese made up the balance of our meal for four and we agreed that everything we ordered was delicious. We were too full to try any desserts but intend to rectify this issue upon our return in the not-too-distant future.

I really wanted to like this place...but it just wasn't my cup of tea.To begin with they did NOT open on time. I came here on a chilly January Sunday morning. I walked here form my hotel to get some exercise and rev up my appetite. I got here around 10:45 AM, figured better to be early. Come 11:00 AM the doors didn't open...not on time. Not a big deal, I figured they might be a bit behind...perhaps 5 or 10 minutes. However after waiting outside for 15 minutes I was getting annoyed. I ended up walking back at 11:22 AM. While there was no line; within the 22 minutes I waited outside, I saw 5 patrons come and go...each one got out of the vehicle and tried to enter, only to leave with a disappointed look on their face. I drove back later, since I was determined to try this place before I left Dallas (Also a convenience factor. I didn't have the time to drive to other BBQ spots). I opted for the 4 Meat plate. I figured it was the best chance for me to try a variety of meats. #OakdBBQ:~ 4 MEAT PLATE: - WAGYU BRISKET - 3.5/5Probably the best thing on the menu...at least the best thing I ate from here. Although I couldn't tell this was a Wagyu Brisket. It was just a decent Bisket to me. - DUROC PORK SPARE RIBS - 3.5/5I reckon I should have opted for the Beef ribs instead. There were OK as well. Nothing outstanding. - DUROC PORK BUTT - 3.5/5Tasted and looked like shredded pork. Decent, not amazing. - CHEDDAR & SAUSAGE LINK- Wagyu Garlic Black Pepper - 4/5Tasty Sausage Link with a kick. I couldn't tell it was Wagyu. - BBQ BEANS - 3.5/5Your standard BBQ Beans. Nothing outstanding. - BALSAMIC ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS - 4/5I like Brussel Sprouts a lot. These were good. Not amazing or outstanding. PS. No Texas toast provided unlike in Austin.With so many BBQ spots in TX, I found Oak'd to be just average, the more irritating issue was not being open on time. I found the BBQ venues in Austin to be much better. At least this place doesn't break the bank.Overall a disappointing experience. I don't need to return...

I believe I have a review already for Oak'd BBQ at a different location in Dallas...this experience was much better! Although noticeably a sausage fest....and not just the sausage they were serving....just a lot of dudes there for BBQ! It just stood out! hahaha!!!It wasn't too difficult to get a seat after getting our food, a lot of tables around the dining area and bar, big groups and even a private room for large parties. We got a seat at a table near the bar...which was nice since you have to go to two separate areas to order...one for food and one for alcohol! I'd almost wish I could place the order for my drink at the register with my food, then drop my ticket off at the bar in a central area for them to grab it and let me know when it's ready or bring it to me. It's difficult when there are people sitting at the bar and your trying to get around them to order a drink. The system obviously works, we got drinks no problem!The wings....the smoked wings...my favorite and I will definitely be getting them the next time I am in town and go to Oak'd and they have them!! So good, juicy, tender and full of flavor!! The sides are a pass for me...both at this location and the other one I went too...just not in to it. I'll be sticking to the meats and pies!! They had one slice of pecan pie left, so I let my friend have it and got the apple. We enjoyed both!! The waygu brisket...soooo good!!! If they have it, get it. You don't get much (which is why my friend got a double order for her 3 meat plate!) but it's worth it to try it!! She also liked the burnt ends and said they were really good. Get the wings!!

I love some good Texas BBQ and this was no exception as everything was so tasty!!! Upon walking in the restaurant you will see plenty of high top picnic type tables along with other tables scattered around with a medium-sized bar area. They also have some live music on the night we were there, which was very good.Most of the dining experience is self-service as you enter the kitchen into a cafeteria-style line and place your order with the folks behind the counter. Start by reading the super large chalkboard menu in front of you - then order your meats. I tried Brisket and the Meatloaf - which was the SUPERSTAR of the meal! Loved every bite of that meatloaf...next time I am going to focus more on the meatloaf so I can get a larger portion.You add two sides, included - or more if you want - and there are so many to choose from. I did the veggies w/squash and the Brussels Sprouts. I passed on any bread, since being diabetic causes bread to make my sugar spike!You can order non-alcoholic drinks right there with your food - but if you want cocktails, etc., then you need to go to the bar and it's separate. We tried some Old-Fashioned's and they were wonderful.Would definitely go back - so much more on their menu to try and everything tasted so fresh!!! A MUST-TRY when you are in the area!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. The cook was hilarious as he prepped our food and made it a really enjoyable time

I wish I had gotten the video of the manager as I walked in. He was very personable and not to mention funny! This was my first time here, and I decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was awesome as well. She explained the happy hour options although we weren't there for happy hour, and also told us about the amazing alcohol selection that they had to offer. I had the smoked wings and OMG these wings are amazing! I also had a side of Brussels and cauliflower mix and it was delicious. My drink of choice was the prickly pear vodka and I can't wait to try the other flavors as it was very smooth. I love the ambience here and the staff so I would definitely be back to try other items.Update: I returned to work and couldn't stop thinking about the wings. I went back and ordered the three meat platter to take home for dinner .. I'll still be back for happy hour

Tried oakd for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The bbq itself was good, and sides were great, but dessert selection looked better than it tasted (sad and def disappointed)You line up to order cafeteria style and the staff down the line were all very entertaining and friendly. You do get a few cookie in exchange for a Google review so there was an upside there but most of the dessert was really overly sweet. The restaurant is pretty casual and they let us stay late after they closed, since we had a larger party of people there.

SERVICE here is the real star of the show! We came on a Saturday around lunchtime, and it wasn't crowded. Two young guys were chatting up the carver about the meats, and naturally, we joined in on the questioning. Well, this carver must've been in a generous mood because he ended up giving all of us about four meat samples each--LOVE that!We finally settled on the Colonel Sandwich, which is basically a meat-lover's fever dream: bacon, brisket, jalapeño sauce, onion rings... you name it, it's in there. Honestly, it was so loaded that you couldn't taste anything specifically, so that's on me for ordering a meat mountain. We also grabbed some brisket burnt ends. There were about six pieces, and one was a little dry and chewy, but overall, pretty good.Now, let's talk fries. I normally wouldn't order fries at a BBQ joint (I read somewhere that fries are on the "do not order" list for BBQ), but the Yelp photos looked too good to pass up. And let me tell you, those hand-cut beauties did NOT disappoint! We got them well done, and they were OUTSTANDING--crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, just like fry heaven.And whatever you do, save room for dessert because this place absolutely shines in the sweets department. They've got about 10 different freshly baked cookies, cakes, and pies to choose from. We took a bread pudding to go with caramel sauce, and when we heated it up later that evening--chef's kiss--it was exquisite.So, come for the service, stay for the meat samples, and definitely save room for dessert. You won't regret it!
