from the biggest bbq fans in Wylie
We’re happy to serve Real, Texas BBQ in Wylie and we’re even happier to hear from BBQ Connoisseurs aka, our customers. Read some reviews below. And if you haven’t left a review, you can HERE ON GOOGLE or HERE ON FACEBOOK
Worst BBQ ever! Not sure who voted them as Best in Wylie 4 years in a row, must've been the owner. No flavor, bad smoke, tasted more like a liquid smoke. Suggest you drive one block west to Linke BBQ. They focus on quality BBQ not quantity on a menu board.
Laid back gem of Wylie. Food is outstanding. I been eating there for years and just realized I never did a review to say thanks for the amazing food. Our family loves coming. Happy wife, happy life... lol
We were invited here by friends for the live music. Brad and Kathie performed. They did a great job. Her voice is lovely!It's a bbq joint, but we are pescatarian, so we had the fried catfish basket and the baked potato with only butter and chives. Everything was good. Their BBQ sauce seemed to be homemade, and it was really good. The staff was really friendly and the service was excellent.
We enjoyed everything we ate. Half priced baked potatoes on Friday night. Beer was a good price. Had great live music. Overall I enjoyed the visit.
Amazing Texas Grilled Cheese….so good, staff was so nice and live music. Great restaurant!!!
We all loved the food! My husband had the brisket potato, my son had the smoked chicken salad, and I had the smoked meatloaf special with cheesy potatoes. I don't really order meatloaf out, but I was missing my mama who loved meatloaf, so I ordered it in her memory. It was so much food, I had to take some home. We all enjoyed the live music and relaxing after dinner. I'd totally do this again! 😊
We love Bold BBQ in Wylie. The service is top notch and the food is always great! Highly recommended.
We love this place! We are weekly customers and they did a great job catering our wedding! 100% recommend for casual dining or catering for your next event!
Arrived Thursday, 12:10 pm, for lunch. Place was empty so I was able to walk up and order. Small dining room but has a lot of seats - cool Texas vibe. The lunch special - brisket sandwich - with an egg roll came to $20. The sandwich was so good. I forgot to take a picture cause I just dove in to eat it. I put the blazing hot BBQ sauce on it and it was awesome. Brisket eggroll is very good. Adding the jalapeño ranch is a nice touch too. Eggroll is good with the spicy barbecue sauce.
Random BBQ place today. For a bbq joint in an older downtown square, I was super surprised the staff was very friendly. Daniel is a 5 Star Cashier. His personality and welcoming vibe will change your day. I ordered the Stuffed Spud with Brisket and all the fixings, the beans were new to me on a potato. The moist brisket was flavorful. Generous portions. You wont find the traditional fountain drinks here, they tasted pretty good. I went with traditional tea, instead. Great food, smiling staff, and really clean. The wood tables were not filmy or sticky. All the tables had a full roll of paper towels. The bbq sauce bottles on the tables were not gunky and pretty full. I’ll be back for sure!
I can only speak on the food I had. I ordered a 3 meat plate with turkey, chicken, smoked sausage, green beans and mac n cheese for the sides. The chicken was juicy and amazing, the turkey was super dry, the sausage was pretty much what you'd expect. The green beans tasted like they were right out of a can and lacked flavor, the Mac n cheese was right on point, very creamy and flavorful. I added 6 of the smoked wings and an interesting side they had, blue cheese slaw. The wings, I was told were smoked then deep fried. Maybe just smoke them and don't deep fry? They were extremely dry. The blue cheese slaw was interesting, I'm not sure what I expected but I think if you're a blue cheese fan I'd definitely give it a shot. My niece had the loaded baked potato with brisket and she seemed to enjoy it. The boys had kids meals, one had chicken fingers and the other sliders both had fries. I did snag a couple fries when plating their lunch and they were pretty awful, extremely chewy. The sauce was interesting, it wasn't to any of our liking but that doesn't mean it was bad just not our preference.
Such wonderful people, great atmosphere, and grooving music from Jay Cober and the Backline on our most recent visit.Meats aren't heavily smoked, which is preferable to some less-Texan palettes. Texas Cuban and Cheesy Potatoes are great and the desserts are top-notch down-home goodness.#TexasSoldEm
Great food, smiling staff, and really clean! Generous portions! Maybe some of the best fried okra I’ve ever had. Back to being clean, these wood tables were not filmy or sticky. The bbq sauce bottles on the tables were not gunky. The ladies bathroom was very clean! For a bbq joint in an older downtown spot, I was super (and pleasantly) surprised. Moist brisket was flavorful. Sauce is different than most I’ve had. We’ll be back for sure!
I saw Bold BBQ Pit on Facebook...They had me at SAMMICH! 😄 (It's a Southern thing - just ask!)The menu selections are plentiful, and I suggest viewing them beforehand to avoid holding up the line if you're visiting in-person. Indecision and hunger don't mix.I went for the smoked meatloaf (available on Thursdays this month, and sells out quickly!) It was delicious, with cheesy potatoes and green beans. If you're a dessert fan, good luck deciding what to get! 🤔 I chose the chocolate chip cookie, but the peach cobbler WILL make you slap ya neighbor with no regrets...I enjoyed the atmosphere and went at a good time of day. Talking to Ms. Mary was a joy! The crew was welcoming and down-home good people! Thank you, Alex, Tricia and Krystal... They even got Pitmaster Adam to come out for a photo!Grab some friends and go! Or make friends when you arrive, like I did...
Stopped by the restaurant ,spur of the moment, just to try something new. Got a smoked bologna sandwich. Potato salad and coleslaw. We saw the live music sign outside.The sandwich was good. They solved the age old potato salad argument, mustard or mayo. They opt for nothing. Super bland! Same with the coleslaw!The music was awful, except for the fiddler.Nice atmosphere and clean.
Food was great, staff was friendly. We shared a huge order of fried pickles which we crispy and tart. I tried the Texas Sandwich grilled brisket and cheese. It was amazing! I highly recommend!
Let's talk about this sandwich!! The Bodacious $18. It's 1lb of meat with a fresh stuffed jalapeño type with more meat & cheese. Just WOW!!!! Delicious 😋 If you haven't tried, go try it. Plus the staff was so kind & hospitable. True BBQ experience.
The staff were very nice and friendly. I had a sammich with lemonade and salad. Also tried the fried okra and was delicious!
Quick stop for take out. Wow relatively inexpensive $20 for 3 meat plate. First time here, will definitely go back.
Food was excellent and very generous portion sizes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come here again. I had the ribs and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich.
My husband and I tried Link's Bold BBQ for lunch today. We shared the Brisket, Sausage, Potato Casarole and Cole Slaw. As previously mentioned in reviews the Meats don't need the sauce and both where really tasty! I also really like the Cole Slaw!! The staff was really friendly and even though it is a counter service restaurant, they still checked on us to make sure we where happy. We will definitely return!!!
Cute little downtown spot with extremely friendly staff. The fried okra (chose crispy over regular) is probably the best I have ever had. Purchased a sandwich meal, in my case the chopped brisket sandwich with fried okra while my husband got the Sammich and fries. We were comfortably full.UPDATE... Been back several times now and the food is always wonderful with the friendliest staff. Weekend nights they even have live music. As we have been trying new things on the menu, everything has been perfection.
Brisket has good flavor. I enjoyed the Smokey flavor of the beans. Mac and cheese could be better. But overall I’m happy 😊 i made my own Potato salad because I prefer mustard
Great specials. We had the stuffed Potato on Friday, then came back for the Tacos and Nachos on Tuesday and BBQ Egg-Rolls and Peach Pie with Ice Cream on Thursday. The food is delicious and a great deal. Also, they have a super-hero scavenger hunt for the kids and a 4-meat eating contest and wall of fame.
First time visit and we all really enjoyed our meals. Kids got mac and cheese, chicken nuggets and fries. My husband got their sliced brisket sandwich with potato salad (that was delicious). I got their brisket tacos on Tex Mex night at only $2 a taco. We will be back!
I'm from California and my friend's took us here cuz this was a family friendly environment. Food great & portion reasonable. Kids had fun doing the scavenger hunt & they received free ice cream for finishing the hunt. Will come again. Staff really friendly and helpful.
Recently moved to Wylie and my family and I were craving good ole BBQ so we gave Bold BBQ a try. This fun, quaint, family restaurant was nothing short of incredible. The staff very cool and charismatic. We all had different meals and sides and all all of us could not stop saying Yum, or wow this is so good. Cant wait to go back!
My family and I went here for the first time yesterday. We loved it. Atmosphere was great, food was delicious and the staff was so great. I love how well they were with my kids. They even got to play a little game and earn a cookie post meal. We will be back and you should check it out!
Bold BBQ is a great BBQ joint in downtown Wylie. We been a big fan for a while now. We decided to have them cater a wedding reception at our home. Not only did they take great care of everything, the BBQ they served far exceeded our expectations. The owners are super friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for any catering event.
If you're a rib fan, make a stop here. Oh and the potato salad is spot on! Wish I had the recipe! It's better than grandma's potato salad! This spot is legit. Food was awesome. Prices were fair and on point. Staff is super friendly. We'll be back for sure! Keep up the good work!
Great new place to take the family! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The BBQ brisket had great flavor, little fat, was moist. My oldest daughter got the ribs and she loved them. My wife got the dual meat sausage with Turkey. The sausage was great and the Turkey flavorable. I had the bbq beans with mac and all were on point. I had to go back and get the cobbler, asked for extra crust and they took care of me. All in all the food had great flavor the blue cheese was a pleasant surprise in the coleslaw but added a nice sharp taste. I fed my entire family for a little over 30.00 so price is very reasonable. New business and a great add to our rotation! We will definitely be back, SOON!
Let's BBQ!
