Sideways

Great food! Everything I have had has been delicious and I somehow don't feel bad after eating here like I do at other BBQ places. My goto is the gut tickler potato. Service is always good, it's usually a loud environment so be prepared for loud music, sometimes live music.

Have been to Sideways four times and ordered the brisket nachos twice, the brisket baked potato and the brisket/sausage quesadillas. The best thing about this place is that they use real BBQ and lots of it! The nachos are great with lots of brisket on top. The baked potato was big, fresh, filled with all the fixings and lots of brisket on top. The quesadilla was really good, filled with cheese and BBQ. The service at the bar is very good and the location at the Harbor is a must see for anyone within 30 minutes of Rockwall.

What's good? The smoked turkey nuggets were delicious!Everything else was just ok.Our server was super friendly! And since it's barbecue and the restaurant was empty, everything came out really fast.I don't want to give it three stars because I really did like the turkey but I can't go higher since it's a barbecue place where I wasn't crazy about the traditional barbecue.And the fries were good, too.

We came to sideways due to their statements about being the best barbecue in the area and great drinks. This was far from that. We had a table of 5 and we almost all got something different to try because we thought it sounded good and the pictures on their site! Looked good!HEADS UP, nothing looks like their photos and their food was mediocre at best. The fried pickles were lack luster. The brisket baked potato was unseasoned and very bland. The meat was dry and their "BBQ" sauces just taste like water downed A1. The place was a little dead and quiet so we were expecting decent service which also didn't happen. Our server was terrible sadly. She barely came to our table. Our drinks came out 10 min apart for just being water and sodas. Our food came out in the same manner which was no good.I'm just disappointed not only at the food but the service especially. R.H. I do not recommend this place what so ever.

Went to this bbq place for lunch right when It opened. Service was great! Bbq was ok, Mac and cheese was a bit cold. The brisket nachos were my fave.

Service was absolutely wonderful! ND the gut buster was huge and tasty. I would order again.My other food and drinks however we're lackluster. Ordered a 5$ margarita, and quickly realized why it was just 5 dollars... lolOrdered a pound of ribs. Had a good bark on it but it was severely underseasoned (just peppery) and extremely dried out.

Boss lady and I came here because we haven't been in years. Now we remember why. The food lacks flavor, except the beans. The brisket was bland and tasted like a roast...real Texas brisket should have bark. This bark was worse than its bite....as in non-existent! The joint is dirty, especially the men's bathroom! I can see this hole being a weekend party den...no thanks!I guess if you want to drink for hours and have mediocre food...eat here.

I've been meaning to try Sideways for over a year! This was a recommendation from another DFW Yelp Elite member when I was new to the area.Ambiance: Finally made it over to Rockwall to check this place out. The restaurant is very much the rustic, country, vibe! They were blasting 90s and current country songs. As we were leaving (around 7:30 PM on a Saturday), the performers for the live band began setting up! Looks like a good place to enjoy some BBQ, and live (country(?)) music. The outdoor patio is pretty large, and they have a corn hole area as well.Service: The service was friendly, but slow. The food came out slow, but it's probably due to the crazy amount of people out that day (beautiful spring day, and prom weekend).Food: We ordered the following dishes to share between the 2 of us1) sideways belly cheater/Fried Pork Rib (3/5: would pass on this! Came out dry)2) Smoked Bacon Wrapped Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos (5/5: this was amazing!! Deff need a good run after this to open up my Cardiovascular system again!)3) sliced brisket (4/5: so tender, so juicy, melts right in your mouth)4) smoked turkey (3.5/5: very flavorful. Wish it wasn't as dry)5) Jalapeño sausage with cheddar cheese (3.5/4: good, but wish the jalapeño had a kick)Overall, we had a really good time at Sideways enjoying BBQ and a little people watching on the patio!NOTE: the patio tables definitely need to be refinished (the lacquer disintegrated). Be careful or you might get a splinter or 2!

Located in an area called "The Harbor". This is a very tasty place to get lunch or dinner! We tried the Bettermost, brisket, and pulled pork sandwiches and all were delicious. Hunter provided excellent service and was very polite and helpful! This restaurant is very popular especially in the cool evenings. They provide live music on Thursday and Saturday evening as well as karaoke Wednesday and Friday evening. They offer a military discount also!

This is an awesome place with a great setting! Food was great! From the Cowboy Kaboodle to the Bettermost Sandwich and my wife had a salad! The cream corn and Cole slaw was good as well! Make sure to try that kaboodle! It will make your mouth happy! Service was on point as well! The kids love coming here!
