Well we were going to go to terry blacks but decided to go here based on the reviews. It was delicious 😋 there was plenty of parking and seating, a small line to order. We were greeted by a nice man who explained how to order and answered any questions. It was pretty cute inside. Generous portions for sides. The Mac n cheese was creamy, not dry and good! The twice baked potato salad was good, but it needs a little season. The beans had a vinegar-y base and I loved them. The onion rings were good, almost like a funnel cake batter. The brisket was juicy and the bacon burnt ends were like flavor bombs. They had live music outside! Sorry...but my banana pudding is better...

As a 7th Generation Texan who has tried Brisket nearly everywhere recommended in DFW, I can honestly say Heim had the best brisket I've ever had!! It was super soft, fat melting in my mouth, and the bark had an amazing seasoning that was basically perfect! I love making brisket myself, but Heim puts me and everyone else to shame!! The beef rib was super soft and very flavorful!! On par with Terry Blacks - maybe better?? 9.8/10 The jalapeno cheese sausage was recommended by the cashier, it was ok, nothing amazing. The huge sandwich had brisket, sausage and burnt ends (pretty good, 7.5 on flavor, 10 on soft melt-in-your-mouth.) Potato salad was chunky with large ingredients, but not super flavor, about 6.5/10. Mac&cheese was good, about 8/10. Brownies had a weird ingredient and didn't taste right at all (almost like an alcohol or liquor flavor) 1.5/10. The fries are NOT homemade, ore ida style. 2/10. I love that they sell the seasonings, and brought some home for my future brisket too. Awesome surprise on the brisket. I'll be back for a few pounds often!!

Heim Barbecue on the River is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you pull in, you’ll notice there is tons of parking available—huge plus! The building itself is large and inviting, with plenty of seating both inside and out. They even have a spacious covered patio and an outdoor open play area where you can bring your dog or let your kids run around while you enjoy your meal. It’s the perfect setup for families, friends, and anyone who just wants to relax and enjoy some incredible BBQ. Now, let’s talk about the food… I ordered the 3-meat plate with brisket, sausage, and their legendary bacon burnt ends. The brisket was unbelievably juicy and tender—it literally fell apart with the slightest pull. The bacon burnt ends? A flavor explosion. It’s like a party in your mouth with every bite! The sausage was packed with flavor, and the mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. Every single item on my plate was a hit. The environment is spacious, clean, and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I can’t recommend Heim Barbecue enough—whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, you’ll walk away happy. This place is a true gem, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and go. And yes, get the bacon burnt ends—you’ll thank me later. 😋

We tried Heim barbecue for the first time and were very impressed. The outdoor area was so cute with lots of seating, fire pits, and dog friendly. The food was excellent and the staff were super friendly.

Oh my Terry Black‘s barbecue doesn’t have anything on this place. The staff is incredible. The food is wonderful. The barbecue is over-the-top fabulous probably the best I’ve had in years and years and the pricing is perfect so many other restaurants overcharged for their meats and their sides this place Has an incredible value they give you tons of food and they have so many wonderful options with an A bar to enjoy a cocktail along with your dinner or lunch Catering from this place has to be incredible. I am now a lifelong customer. I was referred by many many friends finally made it over here. I live very close and I am happy. I did the girl who took our order whose name is on. The receipt is absolutely incredible and help me Smart decisions when ordering nothing like the other place that I referenced at the top of the page where they heard you through like a bunch of cattle get your money and actually probably don’t really give a damn if you’re happy or not I wasn’t impressed with Terry Black and will never go back especially after finding this wonderful place that all my friends say is incredible. They were right.

One of the best barbecue spots in Fort Worth and actually in all of north Texas. I could eat here at least twice per a week.

Favorite BBQ in Fort Worth. River District is the best location with plenty of space and outdoor seating. Food is always amazing. Can't wait for the Turkey to be back on the menu!!

Can I tell LA the chicken was some of the best chicken? I've ever eaten. The sausage was really good and the bacon burn INS were fabulous. The beans like them a lot. The Onion rings were really good. The macaroni and cheese, my wife loved. And I loved the loaded baked potato potato salad

Elizabeth A. Howard

The food was good. Bacon burnt ends are always fantastic here. The potato skins were not what I expected. They were presented in a mound of potatoes, cheese and meat. They were quite messy but flavorful. The three meat platter was good with nice sized portions of meat. The only thing I would have changed was sitting outside. The weather was beautiful but the flies were horrible.

*** Adding an update to say that this location got rid of their collard greens and I am DEVASTATED... Not sure why but I'll have to skip this location now for the Magnolia one. Super disappointed.*** I've heard so much hype about Heim, I started getting some real FOMO from it. Finally, I got to swing and see what it's all about. For the most part, it was pretty good. The prices are scary, but that's just the reality of Texas BBQ. The food was alright, though not the best I've ever had. The brisket mac was just a bit dry. TX sausage was good. Ribs and pulled pork were also a little dry. I'll definitely come back, though, especially for the atmosphere. There's a bar and plenty of seating. It was super laid back and the staff was great!

Excellent barbecue. Unfortunately, at this moment, food prices are sky high and it's hard to justify $25 a pound for pulled pork.

If you go at the right time there's plenty of parking and no waiting in line. The food is good. I highly recommend the loaded Mac n cheese with brisket - it's AMAZING! The slaw is good too and so a…

I’ve been to the Magnolia location and the Burleson before it shut down and I have to be honest I’ve never quite understood the hype of this place. This was the first time I’ve been to this location and I will say, the building and location and vibe of this Heim is fantastic but the food was very mediocre unfortunately. I will self admit I am a bbq snob as I’ve had some of the top bbq spots in Texas but today was very meh. I will say this though, I can absolutely see the potential but the consistency just isn’t there. I ordered the 2 meat plate and got sliced moist brisket and ribs with beans and regular Mac. The part of the brisket that was actually fatty and moist was really good but closer to the point end of the cut it was very dry and tough. That end of the brisket got way too hot in the smoker but I can see the potential. Somehow with three ribs I managed to get 3 rib ends, not a single bone in any rib just cartilage pieces and kind of tuff due to being the end of the rib. My guess is on combination plates they’re not giving you a quality rib as you’re not paying by the pound. Which sucks because the rib actually had great flavor. Again, the potential is there. And I’ll just be blunt about the mac n cheese, it was probably the most bland tasteless Mac I’ve ever eaten. I ordered the regular Mac, maybe the other one is better. And the beans were decent, nothing really to write home about. Price was fair for that plate and I can for sure see the potential but I expect to get much better cuts than I got today. That’s my biggest issue at places where you don’t order at the block. I can’t see and reject the cuts I’m given. I’ll try it again though, it’s got potential.

Pretty slimy when you run out of cab one hour into a paid for party! Try to pawn off your terrible pinot noir! Definitely putting our two cents in with Overridge.

Can't comment on the food because when you ordered ribs, anything fried, or turkey they were out! A bbq place that's not really serving half their menu. So tell us before we waited 15 minutes in li…

Nice place for large groups. Only positive . I was disappointed with the food. The onion rings they gave me were old and dripping wet with cold oil. Better going to Whataburger for some. Got my daughter a burger and asked for no jam on it . They made it with the jam and I kindly asked for remake since the jam has juices and it saturated the buns . Instead they just wiped the jam off and added three extra cheese slice (cold) but still left residual jam with juices .
