Ordered a large barbecue plate cashier messed up gave us nothing but ribs. They made it right and brought us extra sausage and brisket. Everything is delicious. I would recommend this place of services is great.

If you are visiting Dallas,TX this is the best place to eat, was my best experience that I visited during my visit, the mac and cheese and smashed potatoes, the smoke taste was really impressive, and the meals turkey, and the sliced brisket was incredible!! So in 4 words: you have to visit!!

Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse happened to be on the way to someplace at mealtime, so my family decided to stop there. We knew it’s a small business, so we figured it’ll be good to support a local business. We walk in and discover that the place is clean, the prices are fair (picture of menu attached), and it smells great. We order our food, including an appetizer of two orders of onion rings. The onion rings arrived fast, hot, and you can tell that they make them themselves, at the restaurant. The barbecue and ranch sauces are homemade and delicious. Not long after the appetizer, a friendly staff member brought us our entrees (7 of them). Piping hot, made fresh, accurate, and delicious. I got the combo plate with brisket, pulled pork, jalapeño cheddar sausage, macaroni and cheese, and fried okra. All were obviously made at the place, fresh. Now for the restaurant itself. The place was clean, the tables were clean, the drink and condiment area was clean and organized, and the bathrooms were clean and stocked. Overall, this place gave us an outstanding experience and we will be back for more!

First visit at this location yesterday. I gave 3 for service as a man just appeared at the register, staring ahead with no greeting. I had to ask if he's taking my order AND how he was doing. To engage I also asked for his recommendations on wing flavors. It was like pulling teeth, smh! lol. I chose bbq flavor smokey wings. Also got a large plate with ribs, sausage and sliced brisket... and a side salad and bbq beans. Just 1 thing: I'm confused about why there's a $15.99 and large $17.99 BBQ plate. I've had both and there's no difference in portions of meats and sides (you can choose up to 3 meats for either one and sides are small). I will say the bbq is good and has that smokey taste that I like. The dining area is spaciulous and very nice and clean.

Meat was good. Sides were mostly good. We had fries, okra, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and Mac n cheese. Green bean casserole was oddly tangy. BBQ beans were just so-so. Onion rings were HUGE. Rolls were amazing. Most sides are vegetarian. Service was awesome.

This rustic bbq place is famous for its brisket sandwich. If you are craving for a good brisket sandwich you can try this store. The staff are friendly and helpful. Accessible entrance with accessible seating and accessible restroom only made the restaurant more desired to many people.

Lunch came about 2:15 pm. Empty as expected with occasional trickle and carry outs from UTD across the street. Order 1: 2 meat with Sliced Brisket & pulled chicken. Side: green bean casserole & baked beans. The pulled chicken may have had a smoked flavor but it was impossible to tell due to extreme saltiness. We both agreed this was a “never again” item. The Sliced brisket on the other hand had a visible smoke ring but was overdone or perhaps had been held too long in a bin. It was not bad but I’ve had so much better and would not buy a Lb of this meat to go like I do at the Sonny Bryan’s across from Southwest Medical. That one is very consistent and usually on point particularly with the meats. To be fair we ate the 3 slices of brisket (drenched in sauce) but I’m disappointed and would look for other options and not this location at the time of day. The roll was cold but not stale. It just was meh and didn’t add anything to the meal. The beans were also just barely better than most canned beans. The may have been canned and then touched up but not good. I wanted good beans and these were not that. The casserole looked good enough but taste was flat. Tasted like green beans with fried onions and cream of something soup but missing flavor. They had salt and that was not missing but they were not notable at all. The green beans did have a little snap and were probably made from fresh but they gave their tenderness for nothing. It was a fail. Order 2: Chopped barbecue sandwich. Sandwich was decent and meat adequately sauced to be more tender with a perceptible smokiness. It wasn’t great brisket and the base meat wasn’t particularly tender but as stated the sauce helped compensate. Positive note was they did give a discount for seniors but price had nothing to do with the meal experience. Wish this had been better because I was looking forward to this lunch since yesterday. ******* NOT RECOMMENDED ******

This homestyle restaurant was pretty good. The ribs were really good. The cashier gave us some attitude upfront but loosened up as we were ordering. The food wasn't good enough to make the drive again.

On my last trip to Dallas I got a chance to visit Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse in Richardson. My original intent had been to go to "The Original" in the Inwood area. But I couldn't make it - I wish I would have made the longer drive down, as the experience at the Richardson joint was underwhelming. The barbecue was fine - but the ambiance was not very impressive. Honestly, it felt a bit like walking into a Dickey's BBQ (heaven forbid) - very commercial and sterile. So that was disappointing. The meat was fine. I ordered the "Hill Country" brisket, which had more smoky flavor than their regular brisket. It tasted fine. The jalapeno sausage was reasonable, but again not overwhelmingly good. The coleslaw was good, as was the sauce. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this location again. However, I do still want to give "The Original" a try when I am up in Dallas again.

First time trying this place. Not impressed. I ordered the pulled chicken. It was very very soft. Almost mushy. Not a lot of smoke flavor and have lots of seasoning on it. Seemed to be all dark meat. The coleslaw was ok. The baked beans were just mush, like a soup. Fried okra was not crisp. Chopped brisket sandwich was ok. Sauce is not worth it.

You would think that a family pack that supposedly "feeds 6" would come with 6 ribs, we got 4. But the amount of cheddar sausage will last all week. Used to love this place but today was very disappointing.

It’s just a slight step up from fast food. The Ribs are sub par. Not very much meat, lots of cartilage. Like a lot, mouthfuls of cartilage in fact. Pretty gross really. The sides? Nothing is impressive at all. Even the “famous onion rings” disappoint. They are too big to eat without making a huge mess. If you don’t want that, you’ve got to use silverware. It’s all order and pay first, I guess that’s most bbq joints around. But this one feels like they just don’t care too much. And holy cow is it expensive. Around $30 per person.
