"Terry Black’s Barbecue in Deep Ellum is easily one of my favorite spots for great barbecue in Dallas. The service is always friendly, quick, and welcoming. It’s more of a grab-and-go setup where you order at the counter and watch the fresh meats being chopped and served right in front of you, which is part of the experience. This time I ordered the family pack to go, and it was an insane amount of food- absolutely worth it and enough leftovers to last days. The brisket was juicy, the sausage was cooked perfectly, and the chopped meat was spot on. Shoutout to Dayana, who was super kind and even threw in a hat, which was an awesome surprise. There’s often a line, but that’s a good sign-and it’s always worth the wait. Plenty of seating both inside and outside, and the BBQ sauces are a must-try. Overall, an easy recommendation and a place I’ll always stop at whenever I’m in town. Wish I could come here more often!"

"This is an establishment. If you are visiting you have to come. Everytime I come to Dallas I make it a priority to come here. The hospitality, vibe, and most importantly food is excellent. I have been here 5 times now, and this is my second night in a row while in town. They noticed me and gave me a free hat and Mexican coke! That is southern hospitality. Some noteworthy items are the Mac and cheese, I am very picky with it but theirs is not too soft, tangy but creamy, and has a silky texture. Their green beans and coleslaw are very good too. Baked beans are very meat heavy and flavorful. Lastly, their black pepper sausage is the best I’ve ever had. Get that with LEAN brisket and some pork ribs and your set. Oliver"

"Was in Dallas for a work trip and couldn't resist stopping by Terry Black's Barbecue. Had a brisket sandwich, Mac n cheese, jalapeño cheddar sausage and it was fantastic. Definitely recommend stopping by and grabbing a tray, you really can't go wrong with any of the menu items. Beer selection was surprisingly good and they also offer wine. 10/10 would eat here again!"

"I’m driving from Georgia to California and went out of my way to find the best local cuisine—this is it. I’ve been to many "top-tier" BBQ joints, but Terry Black’s is officially the best I’ve ever had. The brisket and ribs are incredible and genuinely made my long cross-country drive happier. If you’re nearby, it is 100% worth the stop for the best meal of your trip."

"This was my first time at Terry Black's, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I came with my family. The brisket was the standout for me: super tender, full of flavor, and honestly some of the best I've had. The pork ribs were on another level too, crazy good, perfectly seasoned, and fall off the bone. The staff kept things moving smoothly even though it was a little busy, and the whole place has that classic. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great time with family. We'll definitely be back next year."
