Old House BBQ

It's an older style of local BBQ joint. Feels authentic to the area, and clearly draws a regular crowd. You can get better BBQ around here, but the prices are reasonable and it's got a relaxed family-restaurant feel to it.

Yuk yuk yuk be careful what you order because it might not be something that you're used to like the broccoli salad. All it is is a bunch of vegetables with water down mayonnaise the potatoes cheesy potatoes is cut up uncooked potatoes with cheese wiz and water. And the pulled pork taste like cardboard, and the ham taste like overcooked and disgusting. The only thing here worth getting is the rolls. The rolls are tasty. The tea is watered down. The people are rude inconsiderate and the whole place is full of illegal Mexicans.

The first time I tried this place it seemed okay nothing special. I tried to like this place so we gave I another shot but again it was very lack luster. The quality is mediocre at best. The smoked beans tasted bland like they came from a can. The brisket had no real smoke or flavor and was very dry. The portions are a joke considering what you pay. They definitely want to charge you an arm and a leg but do not give you decent portions. If you don't have cash and pay by card they will charge you for that so they do not have to pay that service fee which is ridiculous. If they do not want to pay the fees simply only accept cash. Problem solved! They nickel and dime you for everything. The roles and cobbler were the only somewhat decent things we had. We will not be returning!

We had a large order for lunch - the restaurant got it to us pretty quick which we appreciated but the quality wasn't top notch for sure. The brisket was chalky tasting and they literally left the bones of the ribs in the sandwiches for you to chomp on. The pulled pork was generally alright but cold by the time we got it back to our place (we were 5 min away but given the large order, they likely made this one first and let it sit). The service was generally friendly but not very personable, they brought us out food and we paid, but they weren't able to confirm any of the orders that we gave them over the phone, out loud. The guy just handed us the bags and checked us out. When we got back and finally looked at the receipt (our bad, should've checked at the restaurant), they charged us for an extra plate. $15!! We didn't get this resolved anywho because we didn't want to go back but unfortunately, we probably won't return after this.

This place is old school bbq and I love it for that. It's a throw-back to a simpler time, with quality food you select on a serving line. Sercice was efficient and cordial. The food was all fresh even though it was later in the afternoon when I was there. All the sides looked great and there was a lot to choose from. I asked for fat wet brisket with some bark and that's what I got. Tender and flavorful. There is a nice condiment bar with several (3?) kinds of bbq sauce. One is spicy and it was my favorite. Serve yourself on the drinks as well and soft serve ice cream is available: I would go back in a heartbeat.

I got the Que Crew together earlier this month to check out another area BBQ spot. This time at Old House BBQ in Lewisville.The outer appearance is that of an old country restaurant where locals gather for "supper" or pick up dinner after a long day of work - and that's actually probably pretty close to accurate. The interior is clean, and larger than it appears on the outside. The popcorn ceiling and décor takes you back to the mid-70s and the food is served cafeteria-style. The meats can be ordered By the Pound, as a Sandwich, or as part of a 1, 2 or 3-Meat Dinner Plate. They also offer BBQ Baked Potatoes, Nachos, Quesadillas and Frito Pie.Being my first visit, I was compelled to go with the 3-Meat Plate, so I could sample as many items as possible. I selected Brisket, Jalapeno Sausage and Ribs. A great many sides are laid out across the warmer tables and coolers. Many looked good, but when I see the words "Cheesy Potatoes", it's settled! For my other side, I went traditional with the Smoked Beans. After paying for my dinner, and setting my tray down, I retrieved my self-serve soda and gathered fresh toppings, such as onions, jalapenos and pickles.As the meat goes, the Brisket was a bit dry. If you like lean Brisket and sauce, this is probably for you. I just prefer a little marbelization and bark on my Brisket. The Sausage was standard. Not bad, but nothing special. The ribs were, by far, my favorite of the meats I tried. Very tender, came off the bone clean and there was a smokiness that was really tasty. The Cheesy Potatoes didn't live up to expectation. Good, but I had hoped for more. The flavor of the cheese was too similar to Velveeta for my liking and the Smoked Beans were quite good.I don't want to come off as overly critical. I would return, as there is a lot of good things about this food. The competition in this area for BBQ is so strong, that I have to give things a critical eye for the really special places to stand out. I would definitely get the Ribs and the Smoked Beans and I'm anxious to try some of the others on my next visit.

Bland. Tried this place for lunch recently. The restaurant was kinda empty but nobody greeted me, not even as I walked up to the cashier to order. Mac and cheese was overcooked (noodles easily broke apart and mushy) and tasted worst than boxed mac and cheese. Loaded mashed potatoes was alright but had bacon and green onion, so those added a bit of flavor. The brisket didn't have any flavor or smoke ring and tasted boiled. The banana pudding was pretty much the box mix with one wafer, no fresh bananas or flavor or more wafers. Only good thing was the fried okra, which was actually crispy and flavorful. That said, just go to Dickey's.

Bland tasteless brisket. Service was good and the place had charm so the 2 stars. They do best tender smokehouse but that's not saying much.

The moment they tell you everyone else's menu for them is wrong, but theirs is right...So it's my fault I didn't find the right menu?I wanted to get my money back because every place I get chicken breast barbecued is dry AF. So, you gotta call the people back on the app...wait a week to get my $70 next week...ot leave with food I didn't like...I will not be back.

I absolutely loved this place. The bar b qWas very good, Ribs and Turkey. All the sides were very tasty but Jose at the register was super friendly, and funneeee!Not as funny as me, but you know...Great, awesome bar-b-q and the owner is doin it right! Mmmmmmgoooood!
