Terry Black's Barbecue

Terry Black’s was so accommodating for changing their gloves and adding paper and a cutting board for our gluten free meats, they took the time and care changing gloves 4x after wiping down the scale and and the butcher block. The food is excellent! Definitely worth the drive down to Dallas.

We swung by Terry Black's BBQ for dinner, and the place had a genuinely good, energetic vibe. It's a classic Texas BBQ setup: self-serve, where you grab a tray and snake through a line. First, you hit the sides station. I was pleasantly surprised to see they clearly label their gluten-free (GF) and vegan options—a thoughtful touch. We loaded up with green beans, Mac and cheese, potato salad, and cornbread. The green beans were a definite highlight—absolutely amazing! However, the cornbread was disappointingly dry. Moving on to the meat counter, we decided to get a sample of everything. Out of the selection, the sausage and the pork ribs were the standouts and my personal favorites. Unfortunately, the brisket, the cornerstone of Texas BBQ, was dry. Overall, while the atmosphere is great and the self-serve system is efficient, I have to say I expected a bit more from a place with this reputation. It was just average; I wasn't blown away. Good, but not great enough to be memorable.

One of my fav BBQ spots and worth the hassle. I love the beef ribs and the wet brisket. I appreciate how the sides are marked as gluten free or dairy free.
