Massey's BBQ

Jersey girl here- can confirm that southern hospitality is alive and well! The staff was so very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was sparkling clean and the food……OMG the food….I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get that caliber of BBQ anywhere at home. Thanks for the incredible meal and fabulous service!!!!

My family and I are in Glen Rose, taking our boys to the Dinosaur attractions in town. After hopping on YELP and seeing the many positive reviews, my wife and I decided to give them a chance. From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we knew that we had made the right decision. A lady (one of the owners?) met us at the door to explain their menu and what to expect while dining with them. She was super sweet and so helpful. As we were standing at the menu (trying to help our boys figure out what they wanted from the many selections), the owner came to introduce himself. He was very personal and inviting, making us feel right at home. My wife and youngest had the brisket baked potato, my oldest had the brisket sandwich and onion rings, and I had the loaded nachos. The food was outstanding. The only critique, however minor it is, is that the onion rings were a little too thick and not cooked enough for our liking. But, understand, that is *extremely* minor compared to the succulent food they served. Afterwards, we went out to enjoy the live music on the patio. Serious plug here: everything is family-friendly. So many places offer live music, but I wouldn't dare take my 10- and 8-year-old sons to those experiences. Here, everything was done so tactfully and with the family unit in mind. If you find yourself in Glen Rose for whatever reason, do not hesitate to go here. You won't regret it!

Went here for dinner with the family and it was wonderful. The hospitality was wonderful and the food was truly Texas smoked brisket. It was tender and full of flavor.

Delicious! Fast service and wonderful staff. We were given a big ole welcome walking in. Mr. Massey was kind enough to explain the whole menu to our big group. The weather was ideal for the outside building seating. Toi, the manager, made it extra special!

My wife n I have been going to Massey's since it opened. The food has always been exceptional, tonight was no different. The brisket was firm and moist, the pulled pork was perfect and the BBQ sauces are on point. This is the first BBQ I have truly loved in 15 yrs. The staff is over the top pleasant and the owner greets every customer personally. The price is very reasonable for BBQ. The atmosphere is inviting with an out door area for large gatherings and music. Ignore the negative reviews about this place. They couldn't be farther from facts. Go check them out. 10 out of 10 recommend.

First time here! Greeted by Mister man himself! Which I thought was very nice as hardly no other business owner does that! He explained menu, had a few chuckles too! :) Food was great! Onion rings…wow! Love me some onion rings! Prices are not outrageous as some reviewers wrote. If back in the area I would stop back in for sure.

I’ve driven by this place dozens of times and finally stopped in last weekend. Try disappointing……that I didn’t stop in sooner. The staff is super friendly and inviting. And even more important, the BBQ is LEGIT! We had burnt ends, ribs, turkey, fries and onion rings. The price was not nearly as bad as I thought. Not nearly what other places charge for less both in quantity and quality. We stuffed ourselves and still had some leftovers for lunch the next day. Every bite was absolutely phenomenal. Looks like I’ve found my new local BBQ spot.

Great BBQ! For a “soft opening” this was enjoyable and up to “Massey standards” imo. The facts that the line was wrapped around the entrance and food delivery was stacked up, are testaments to the expectations and we were not disappointed! Great venue with cool music venue. BYOB makes it even more fun. “Massey-ive” quantities of food for our 4 different orders. Fwiw, Apple Maps not yet updated so use Google Maps 😆. Best 3 words of endorsement - “I’ll be back!”

On vacation and craving bbq! Stopped in here and we were immediately greeted by Mr. Massey! He explained the menu and made some recommendations! We got ribs, brisket taco, onion rings, Mac and cheese, wings… everything was SO good!!! The ribs just fell right off the bone! Our youngest son said “this is phenomenal!” 🙌🏻 great service, awesome atmosphere! Truly impressed. Go see for yourself!

We had a family reunion in Glen Rose. The owner helped us with reserving space for our whole group to sit together and personally welcomed us when we arrived. The atmosphere was wonderful with live music later in the evening. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The best part was the delicious BBQ with options for the whole family. Thank you to the amazing crew and owner at Massey’s for the friendly Texas welcome!

Incredible service. Very personable. The food was very good, but very pricey. I paid $18 for a small portion of brisket, a side of coleslaw, and a fountain drink. Super clean. Plenty of seating. Beutiful location. Extremely nice and helpful staff.

Service here was wonderful. Atmosphere was A+. The owner was here and he was so friendly. Seems like a great place for parties and events. The ribs were absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!

Ribs went amazing with their BBQ sauce, burnt ends were fatty but good, onion rings with their ranch was very good, and brisket was amazing. Menu system was a bit inconvenient but the food made up for it. Definitely need to check this place out if you haven’t.

WOW this place is wonderful. The hospitality is over the top they make you feel like you’re eating at a friends house or family. The food was wonderful best brisket I’ve ever had the french fries are hand cut in. The onion rings are freshly made. Everything is fresh, homemade and ready for you to enjoy if you don’t stop here or try it out yourself. You’re missing out on some good Texas, barbecue and, the owner himself was there when we went today and he was just as kind and made me feel like we were Valued customers hard to find that in today’s market thank you so much Mr. Massey for the incredible barbecue, the hospitality and you can Without a doubt will be back probably tomorrow the damn food, so good I’m already craving it as I’m writing this review you got me hooked. Thank you for opening Restaurant with a venue, an area for the kids to play and live music on certain days I’m so glad you chose Glen Rose, Texas ❤️✔️👏🫶🏻

Went to Massey’s Glen Rose today for dinner. My husband ordered chopped brisket, turkey, and bologna with a side of mac and cheese. I had the loaded nachos with pulled pork. Overall we thought everything tasted good. The turkey was our favorite, not dry with good flavor. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The owner, Todd, was there greeting everyone and shaking hands. The Glen Rose hospitality that made me fall in love with this little town. We will definitely be going back again in the future.

We went on Tuesday of this week and enjoyed it so much that we came back less than a week later!! The food is delicious and is a perfect BBQ. The only other place that we have enjoyed this much was the BBQ on the Brazos that is up in the Cresson Sunoco gas station. Massey’s BBQ is a great place to bring family and friends. Just know that everything is A La Carte. Make sure you get the onion rings they were fantastic. The service was also wonderful. Everyone was very polite and helpful and great at describing everything.

Love this place. Mr. Massey showed us the menu and made suggestions. The stuffed potato is very filling and sandwiches are large. All we had was as good as we've found in this area. Plenty of room for large groups with multiple dining areas. They even have pickleball courts for $20 per hour. Come and enjoy!

This is a classic Texas BBQ restaurant. The inside is spacious and has multiple dining areas and big windows. I had pork ribs and a side of mac and cheese for my daughter, and my husband ordered loaded fries with pull pork. We enjoyed our food. Ribs were big and juicy, not dry at all. The bbq sauce is thick and sweet. I don't really enjoy vinagry flavor on bbq sauce. The side portions are fair, not too small but not big. Staff is frently and constantly check on their guess. we got our food relatively fast. Overall, it was a nice dining experience, and I will definitely be back.

Our experience in this restaurant was amazing!!!! Very friendly staff and very delicious food. We were in the outdoor area and the live music was a bonus.

Owner met us at the door and gave us a Texas greeting. A must stop for anyone in the area looking for home cooked good BBQ

After golf lunch. Everything was great. One of the blonde hair ladies was very helpful. I assume she was the manager. We enjoyed everything and super quick. Highly recommend.

Great BBQ! We were greeted by Mr. Massey at the door. He explained the Menu and restaurant. I had sliced brisket, Jalapeño Sausage, beans and onion rings. Everything was delicious. The Onion Rings were hand made. Beans were very tasty with a little spice. The meat was tender and nicely smoked. The staff was friendly, restaurant was very clean.

We went to Massey's BBQ based on the recommendation of Brazos Outdoor Center. Wow, wow, wow! From the corn on the cob swimming in butter, to the ribs, to the brisket, everything was delicious 😋. The ribs were done to perfection. A beautiful crust and juicy fall of the bone meat. An incredible combo. And their service was nice...they actually came to check on us at our table. Thanks for such a wonderful meal! Will definitely be back when we come back to canoe/kayak the river again.

I went yesterday for the first time, amazing! Such a nice hide away with fantastic service and food. Jeff Burns was playing while I was there, it was a great addition to an outstanding place. I had the brisket and onion rings, the onion rings are the best I have ever had: large coated perfectly and perfectly served. I loved the brisket, and ordered a quarter pound, I couldn't eat it all, I brought some home for more deliciousness.

I enjoyed the food. I had a sliced brisket and sausage sandwich and onion rings. Washed it down with some sweet tea and had banana pudding for dessert. I was pleased and super full. I was in town visiting family and was craving BBQ. I will most definitely be returning to this delicious spot.

Went here recently. BBQ is the "sauce it yourself" type, with meat served tender. Had the pulled pork and brisket with onion rings. Brisket was more flavorful than the pork standing alone. Sauce was good and a good help for the pork. Mr. Massey was there welcoming people and service was excellent. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Take time to scan the entire menu. Lots of stuff on there to consider and to my old eyes, the design can hide things, like the regular sides. FOX News plays on the TV for those that care about such things.

The loaded potatoes, fried pickle, fries, Mac and cheese and tips were ever good. To be honest, the brisket was horrible. It was dry as if it had been out for hours. The ribs were meh and also quite dry. I was quite disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend.

The food was not so good. Served to us cold and really had no flavor. I went in thinking the barbecue would be different. You do get good portions, and everyone is extremely kind. The atmosphere is amazing, and the owner is top-notch, a really sweet man. The food is just not that good. It's not bad, but if you want real good barbecue, this is not the place to go. Maybe we will try it again in a few months to see if they got all the kinks worked out. We gave it another try and was not pleased. i got the street tacos with brisket. The brisket was so dry I think I drank 3 sprites to help wash it down didnt even finish my meal because i couldnt eat it. The beans tatsed like ranch style beans with the sauce washed off.. The green sauce they have was not good at all it was really smokey tasting with no spice. The tortillas tasted very old. The cilantro was old, and the onions were old tasting as well. It was served very cold. My husband got baked potato with sliced brisket. Brisket was so thick and tough and really dry it was super hard to eat. The potatoe was good, he said. We were hoping that it would have gotten better, but it did not. I'm really disappointed.

Update: we went back a second time and it wasnt as good. The ribs were sparse and somewhat dry and the sliced beef was not as good. The service isnt as friendly as the first time. ********** Went there a few days ago, and the outside is really attractive. They clearly put a lot into this place. The service was very good, the employees are well trained. Our food came out quickly. We chose to sit in the large room our back since it was a nice day. This place has two pickleball courts and a basketball court. There's a stage inside the huge dining area, great for gatherings like a reunion or band. A youth outing would be awesome here. There are heaters in there for when it gets cooler, too. The husband had the ribs, and I had a sliced beef sandwich. I forgot the camera until I had ¾ of it gone Good place!

Have to say I was disappointed. This place was highly recommended. First - very friendly staff& really cool atmosphere. Plenty of seating with tvs indoor & out. However, I ordered the brisket tacos & smoked Mac & cheese. The m&c was fine. The brisket tacos were very dry. If it wasn’t for the bbq sauce- I would not have eaten them. So I can recommend this place - but that’s only my opinion.

Massey's has wonderful customer service and a really cool atmosphere, the food was decent but wasn't anything spectacular. The absolute best thing about this place was their sweet tea. Maybe the best sweet tea in Texas, minus my wife. And the dessert was always really good. Again, the people were great and the atmosphere was cool but the food was aight.

I have stopped here a couple times and the food is excellent but today the service was basically non existent. It took 3 minutes for anybody to arrive at the counter to ring me up and I proceeded to wait for my Togo order for 30 minutes before finding out the order was placed in the hot box for pick up 20 minutes before as I was ignored. What should have been a quick in and out was a 30 minute wait. When they found that the issue had occurred there was no sense of urgency to bag it up, no apology for my food getting cold while it sat there ( onion rings are always best when eaten immediately) and when I expressed my displeasure at it being served to me as it sat cooling for 20 minutes the waitress just shrugged and said I dunno what happened. Both were there when I placed my order. Normally the waitstaff bring out the food show you before bagging it up and are always friendly but not tonight. The response of the staff has definitely soured my opinion of this place. The food is good but I stop in generally on my way home and if is going to create a delay and staff aren't going to care when they inconvenience people I may not go back because the food and price isn't worth the hassle I went through tonight. Hopefully this is an anomaly but my time is worth more to me to want to continue to try them.

Bottom line will always be food. Brisket was dry and flavorless. You could taste smoke only. The BBQ sauce was not good. Maybe it was a bad day but the most prominent parts of any BBQ joint were not good at all. The smoked Mac and cheese had zero smoke. It was an over priced ($4.95) small side of regular Mac and cheese. Now the ribs were decent. Not a ton of flavor but very tender and pulled off bone properly. To the owner, check your sauce. Something was in there and it's ok to season up brisket.

Id like to start out with my wife and I are from Lockhart, TX, so finding exceptional bbq in the Granbury or SW DFW has been a challenge. I've always done my own bbq at home but even more so since moving here in 2019. Masseys in Glen Rose has a good atmosphere and a ton of potential. Im sure the live music is going to be a hit. If you are wanting outstanding smoked/bbq meats and homade sides to treat your family, friends and yourself without all the hard work, find another place. My wife and I will continue our search. For around $50.00 my wife and I shared a smorgous board of below average, old presliced pork ribs and brisket, mediocre slice sausage, and an okay half chicken. The sides of potato salad, pinto beans and mac n cheese were decent and "semi" homade. The pickles, onions and jalapenos were just that and out of a can and the bbq sauce was canned/jarred blah. Our platter feast was delivered minus a smoked meat vehicle of bread. When asked about the missing traditional bbq item, i was informed that it is not served unless you order a sandwich.... Final thoughts: Masseys Glen Rose is better than Hammonds, but if I were looking for mediocre bbq with a fantastic atmosphere, I'd rather head farther south to Loco Coyote! Masseys Glen Rose, shame on you for serving us old, presliced pork ribs and brisket on a Saturday at noon. You would benefit by trying some bbq staples in Lockhart, TX like Terry Blacks for their fabulous brisket, Kruetz's for their extraordinary sausage, Smittys for their delicous pork ribs, and farther south to Luling, TX at City Market BBQ with their homade bbq sauce! My overall rating of 1 to 10 would be a 3.8. It'll make an expensive t__d, like the experence!

Was wondering why every other place in town was packed except Massey’s. Now I know. Won’t be back.

Jalapeño sausage was bland and served cold very slimy texture. Burnt ends weren’t burnt at all, seemed like 4 chunks of fat sliced right off the brisket. Green beans were ok but had hard stalks throughout. Pinto beans had zero flavor. Massey’s Mess (Frito Pie) has no chili just whatever meat you choose. The Philly was lackluster. Draft beers served in plastic mugs 😑 $80 before tip, pretty disappointed overall. Sweet tea was good if you’re into that, but it’s not hard to make that. Food runner took our number after bringing one item out then they couldn’t find our table to serve us for 20mins. Worst jalapeño sausage I’ve ever had. Lastly nothing was served with any BBQ sauce, and I didn’t see any on any tables or near the condiments.

$150 for 7 people on Tuesday night one got just fries and drink, another got a kid meals. The portions were extremely small and I was not a fan of the ala carte only options. We had to go to McDonald's after to get more food as it did not fill us up

You sure don’t get a lot for $61 of meat. My mother-in-law ordered a half of rack of ribs and we got 3 ribs. Half rack is usually about 6. So $21 for 3 ribs. No sides. The brisket is not moist. Very disappointing.

Was referred to Massey’s by a friend. When we entered, this was definitely not what I expected. It’s set up to walk up to counter place order and take a number and they bring it out to you in paper containers you get your own plasticware and your own drink. You pay for your meal at the counter when you place your order and they ask for a tip . So why am I being asked for a tip before I’ve received my food and is the tip for them just to walk it out to your table or bring it out to you I’m already paying for the food.! I did, however give tip begrudgingly. Right from the beginning, I already made up my mind I wouldn’t be returning. Food was average to less than average Then to make the visit even worse, which I realize this is not the establishment’s fault I walk out and somebody had backed their dark colored later model equinox into the front of my truck and they drove off no note or anything. When I asked the young lady behind the counter if they could look on the cameras and see if it caught anybody , she said she would, she proceeded to text somebody and told me that she knew everybody pretty much that was there that evening, but never said anymore to me about it come out and looked and walked back inside.. Then the following day when it was daylight, I got a better look at the front of my ranch Hand style bumper, and they did bend one side of the rail. I called and asked if they could view the video again to at least show who walked out of their establishment and went towards the direction of where we was parked . It was only my truck and another vehicle that parked on that side of the parking lot this equinox they call me back to tell me that at that moment their cameras wasn’t working.!!! Sounds to me like possibly they may have known to whom it was that backed up into my pick up truck and damaged my bumper, but didn’t want to tell me!!

I've waited a few days to do this review, I always try to be fair when I review. I do consider my self a BBQ snob #1. I was excited about this restaurant because the BBQ in the granbury Glen Rose area is terrible. The building is great, they did a phenomenal job with this place. The food though misses the mark completely. It's some of the worst food I've ever had. I placed an order for two people to go. The amount of confusion that there was in getting my food was insane. They gave me the wrong order the first time, then I had to wait after talking to the staff multiple times about what my order was. They gave me my order I felt like it was light but kept walking, A gentleman came running to the door with another bag, I commented I figured it wasn't everything. I then got in my truck and started to drive, I saw the same gentlemen outside with another bag and rolled my window down and sure enough it was for me. I got back to work and only received half my order. I called and shared my concerns about this and told them I would be coming back to pick up the rest. I went back to there and they gave me the food that was missing and some dessert and my money back because they felt bad about my order. I was appreciative of that, the pudding was actually pretty good. My review rating of one star is from the food not the service although the service was lacking. The fact that they served me the meat that they served me is embarrassing, I'll attach pictures of some of the driest brisket I've ever had. All our food ended up in the trash because it was so bad. You be the judge and tell me by the color of my brisket if it should've been served. The pork was dry, the turkey was ok. Just overall this food was terrible. I appreciate the money back and the dessert, I will try again to give a fair shot, this food should've never left the kitchen, there's just no way. Just got a burger from here, the amount of salt is insane, picture attached. Way to much seasoning

I really wanted to support Massey's in Glen Rose but we won't be back. The food was so bad and over priced. We left and went to Hammond's for lunch because Massey's brisket was dry and tough....the brisket plate with the baked potato was 14.99 at Hammond's today vs the "1/2lb"🤔 of brisket being $11 at Massey's. There was no comparison. Plus we waited at least a half hour for our food at Massey's and wound up having to ask staff where our orders were. The loaded fries were 12.95, came out in a tiny, soggy paper container, covered in queso and chunks of tomatoes. Those got sent back. The brisket we put in a to go container and left, threw the brisket in the trash at home as it wasn't edible. So disappointed. Quality of food (or lack there of) price of food and presentation are not "kinks" to be worked out.

Sounds to me like possibly they may have known to whom it was that backed up into my pick up truck and damaged my bumper, but didn’t want to tell me!!

I've waited a few days to do this review, I always try to be fair when I review. I do consider my self a BBQ snob #1. I was excited about this restaurant because the BBQ in the granbury Glen Rose area is terrible. The building is great, they did a phenomenal job with this place. The food though misses the mark completely. It's some of the worst food I've ever had. I placed an order for two people to go. The amount of confusion that there was in getting my food was insane. They gave me the wrong order the first time, then I had to wait after talking to the staff multiple times about what my order was. They gave me my order I felt like it was light but kept walking, A gentleman came running to the door with another bag, I commented I figured it wasn't everything. I then got in my truck and started to drive, I saw the same gentlemen outside with another bag and rolled my window down and sure enough it was for me. I got back to work and only received half my order. I called and shared my concerns about this and told them I would be coming back to pick up the rest. I went back to there and they gave me the food that was missing and some dessert and my money back because they felt bad about my order. I was appreciative of that, the pudding was actually pretty good. My review rating of one star is from the food not the service although the service was lacking. The fact that they served me the meat that they served me is embarrassing, I'll attach pictures of some of the driest brisket I've ever had. All our food ended up in the trash because it was so bad. You be the judge and tell me by the color of my brisket if it should've been served. The pork was dry, the turkey was ok. Just overall this food was terrible. I appreciate the money back and the dessert, I will try again to give a fair shot, this food should've never left the kitchen, there's just no way. Just got a burger from here, the amount of salt is insane, picture attached. Way to much seasoning

I really wanted to support Massey's in Glen Rose but we won't be back. The food was so bad and over priced. We left and went to Hammond's for lunch because Massey's brisket was dry and tough....the brisket plate with the baked potato was 14.99 at Hammond's today vs the "1/2lb"🤔 of brisket being $11 at Massey's. There was no comparison. Plus we waited at least a half hour for our food at Massey's and wound up having to ask staff where our orders were. The loaded fries were 12.95, came out in a tiny, soggy paper container, covered in queso and chunks of tomatoes. Those got sent back. The brisket we put in a to go container and left, threw the brisket in the trash at home as it wasn't edible. So disappointed. Quality of food (or lack there of) price of food and presentation are not "kinks" to be worked out.

Jalapeño sausage was bland and served cold very slimy texture. Burnt ends weren’t burnt at all, seemed like 4 chunks of fat sliced right off the brisket. Green beans were ok but had hard stalks throughout. Pinto beans had zero flavor. Massey’s Mess (Frito Pie) has no chili just whatever meat you choose. The Philly was lackluster. Draft beers served in plastic mugs 😑 $80 before tip, pretty disappointed overall. Sweet tea was good if you’re into that, but it’s not hard to make that. Food runner took our number after bringing one item out then they couldn’t find our table to serve us for 20mins. Worst jalapeño sausage I’ve ever had. Lastly nothing was served with any BBQ sauce, and I didn’t see any on any tables or near the condiments.
