Food was delicious we have never had macaroni and cheese like that meat was tender place was clean we really enjoyed ourselves there next time we are in Dallas we will stop by
Was going to a place nearby for lunch recently, and when I got there I didn't like what I saw. So I pulled up Yelp to see what was close. Fortunately I was about two blocks from Off The Bone. Plenty of parking, nice looking spot, friendly staff. I asked the cashier what she recommended, and she said brisket and pulled pork. This surprised me, because ever since I moved from Louisiana to Texas, I haven't found a single place that did pork right... and Texas BBQ spots certainly don't typically promote their pork. I ordered sliced brisket, pulled pork, queso mac and cheese and green beans. Took my seat and waited just a couple of minutes before my food was brought to the table. Working my way through the plate, here's what I found: Pulled pork: Spectacular. Tender, seasoned, exactly how I cook it at home. Mac and cheese: It's made with queso, which offers a little kick. I had low expectations at first, but it's one of the best versions I've ever had at a bbq place. Green beans: Perfect. Cooked down, fresh, meaty flavor. Not mushy but firm. Brisket: First bite was amazing. The bark had a great flavor, and the meat was relatively tender. Unfortunately here's where OTB earned four stars and not five. The rest of my brisket was dry. All the bark had a decent flavor, but the brisket fell apart on my fork and crumbled in my mouth. Extremely dry and disappointing. For the rest of my brisket I just ate the bark. That said, I will definitely be back. Overall the meal was way above average and these guys have earned their high ratings. I enthusiastically recommend that you check it out.
Saturday lunch. Located in a converted gas station south of downtown Dallas in a rather empty area, Off the Bone is overall worth the drive. It's ashamed the place wasn't fuller. The brisket was very moist though filled with far more fat than I would have liked. I had to cut away several chunks. Our sides of green beans, spicy fries, fried okra, and Cole slaw were good. My sandwich bun was glistening and great. The sauce is mild and sweet. We also got the peach cobbler, which was good, even if the peaches were straight from the can. We also enjoyed talking with the owners. They have much to be proud of. Parking is plentiful. If you're stuck in traffic on I-30, take a break here. Off the Bone is ripe to become a franchise.
So I had the 3 meats and 2 sides. The Ribs: Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection The Brisket: Juicy, and seasoned nicely The jalapeno cheddar sausage packed with flavor & heat. The mac & cheese & fried okra were good too. The TVs were great for watching sports and a friendly atmosphere & very Affordable for the quality & quantity of food. The only downside was the Lack of Smoky Flavor: While the ribs and brisket were delicious, they could have benefited from a stronger smoky flavor. Overall, Off the Bone BBQ seems like a good spot for satisfying your barbecue cravings. The ribs, brisket, and sausage are all good, and the atmosphere is inviting. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a good meal and catch a game, this might be the place for you.
Almost everything was great... minus the cornbread. I'm used to a buttery cornbread. This one was not so much. The food came to the table quick. We ordered the family meal. The mac+cheese and the greens were FIRE! Needed more of the sides. The meats (brisket, chicken, ribs, and sausage) were delicious. Besides a cowboys helmet on a counter, the restaurant had a great vibe. The rolls were slamming too
Great service and fast! I will be returning to get some amazing food! Plenty of options to choice from and fresh!
1st off...they close early - 4p - Monday-Wednesday ... 7p - Thursday-Saturday. So, that said, plan appropriately. This place is NOT on my normal traffic pattern. When I go here, I want to go here. This was my 1st visit back since pre-COVID...so, its been a while. For starters, RIBS...yes, pork is a blank canvas with absolutely no flavor in the natural state. This establishment hits it in flavor with the right seasonings and right amount of smoke and time. A very, very good bite. Second...they are one of a few places left that smoke chicken on the bone. I ordered my 2-meal plate with a 1/4 chicken-white. Really good chicken. Nice mild smoke. Good seasoning and still moist. Sides are sides...they can make or break the experience. The green beans w/ potatoes and the BBQ baked beans were both very, very good and flavorful. So...if you're nearby and want a nice BBQ experience, pull in and check this place out.
Back to heavenly roots. A week of seafood in Cali to the best BBQ in Texas! I remember when I first brought my sister here in 2020. We loved the fried corn and today we decided we would drive 45 min for lunch. Sooo glad we did. The corn is soooo dang good. But that's not all that's good. The ribs, as the name says fall of the bone and is seasoned perfectly. Not overly smoky with the right amount of flavor and tenderness. I just luv em'. Their ribs have just the right amount of fat to make them moist and tasty. I'm not a BBQ sauce guy but I really like Off the Bones. The potato salad, made in house is tart, sweet and so tangy. Again a must try. Their greens beans are freshly cooked and prepared and soooo good. I love the chunks of potatoes cooked in with them. Finally, the queso Mac n cheese is Devine. The colored greens were seasoned and so good. The right amount of pork and fat back warming my taste buds. Rarely, can you find such great food prepared with love and that warms your soul. Glad we ordered enough to dinner tonight or left overs tomorrow. The folks here are friendly and service is top notch!
Quick and delicious ribs. The meat comes right off the bone - sorry could not resist. Friendly service and good variety of sides. A nice little spot for a quick fix of ribs or BBQ.
