MeShack's

HURRY! Excellent & going, going, gone. They sell until it is gone daily which is not long. Old timers know just how delish this food happens to be. My sister introduced me to Meshacks. I just moved back to the area. She was told by an ex city employee. He told her the same info..... All employees love it if lucky enough to get it. The times my sister has gone by there to pick up food for her family and my guest unfortunately there have never been any leftovers. Whether at Meshacks Hut or our homes/parties it is beyond excellent and Going, Going, Gone!

Welp, we didn't show up early enough, so we had the pulled pork. The plates were awesome size and it was very good. Staff was friendly and chatty, but again we went at the end of their day, so there weren't many customers and they had time to relax a bit. Looking forward to trying Meshack's again, will get in line for the brisket

I was my first time here. I got the pulled pork sandwich and potato salad. It tasted great. Generous portions. Recommended.This is a Togo only place or sit in your car.

Bought a rib sandwich and a link sandwich and you can smell and taste the smoke! Delicious!

love it! worth the Waite! True Texas Bar-B-Que! The smoked Brisket is so delicious and if you need to deep that brisket in a barbecue sauce i suggest their spicy barbecue sauce. goodness!

We always always love the food here!!

No frills BBQ served quickly

Nice ambience and very personal service. The food was fresh and yummy. Will absolutely recommend this spot to my friends. Affordable rates and large meals. Keep up the great work.

It was very delicious and seasoned to perfection. Meat was very tender.

There is a pick up only "Hut" of a place and the building has not been well maintained. But the 'que is tasty. We had a dinner of sliced beef with double beans as they ran out of Potato salad before 12:30. (They open at 10:30). Beans had smoke but no meat of any type so just a little better than canned. Beef was lean but they do put sauce over it without asking if that was your preference (it is not). The ribs were fall off the bone but a bit on the fatty side. For some fat is flavor so that may have helped. The sausage was not gristly nor so fine as to not have texture. It was clearly smoked with a crisp casing. They have a sign that says "If you cannot wait, Do not order" and this is the case because if you are there at lunch it will take 35 minutes between walking up, standing in line and getting your food.

Didn't like the ride, annoyed staff.First and last visit.Just how does such a run down restaurant maintain up to date health codes?

We heard about this place a while back and were having a big crowd over for Labor Day Weekend and decided to give it a try. This place is ALL BBQ. Nothing fancy at all. Friendly service but somewhat on the slow side. Some people waited in line for 15 or 20 minutes before even getting to order, but the food is worth the wait. We picked up some sausage and chopped beef and they threw in a loaf of bread and two containers of BBQ sauce, one Hot and one Mild, but you really didn't need the sauce because the meat was so tender and delicious.

Baby, The roll ups are delicious. And the pork sandwich has just the right amount of sauce. I didn't have time to take pictures but the line is worth the wait.

I had an amazing time in this place. We loved the great ambience and the menu. The waiters were super affable. I am glad we eventually decided to visit this restaurant.

The best ribs hands down.

Was looking forward to trying the bbq but it was closed at 9 even though it says they close at 10 they should really update the times online

We got here a few minutes before it opened and there was already a line! Luckily it wasn’t too long of a wait. The people in line were fun and everyone seemed to be excited to eat. We need up getting 3 sandwiches, two roll ups and two drinks. It was under $25 which was very reasonable. The Pulled Pork sandwich was amazing and loaded with meat!! The other beef sandwiches were also as good! Their sauce is a little bit on the runny side but I enjoyed the flavor.In short it’s a good place for BBQ but you do have to get there in time or you might just be left out.

Hole in the wall barbecue a taste of heaven get there early

Service is great and fast. I only wish they stayed open a little later.

I had the sliced brisket sandwich which was good with large portions for the price. Didn't care for the potato salad, too mushy for my taste. Somewhere between mashed potatoes and potato salad in consistency. Wait time on Friday during lunch time was 15 minutes.

Great no frills BBQ. Be prepared for them to be sold out of items and be ready to wait!

Love this place. Went here all the time when I lived closer. Make the drive at least once a month from Oak Cliff because it's so worth it. This is BBQ heaven. Be early and ready to wait.

If you don't know, now you know.

The nature of this kind of food necessitates low and slow cooking. The person who makes it gives of their time, arguably our most valuable commodity. And beyond giving of his time to cook, he still has enough to come out, talk to the regulars, hand out sandwiches and money to the homeless (also regulars), and hand off whole briskets for nearby folks that brought him meat they bought and are only having him smoke.

Get there early. They sell out quick.

I had heard good things about this place. Pulled up at 11:15 with about 7 customers who had placed orders waiting for their food. I walked right up to the window and ordered $22 in sliced brisket and links. The sign says don’t order if you can’t wait. They aren’t kidding.I stood in the sun for an hour and fifteen minutes after I placed my order. I think they were making individual trips sneaking out of the back door to another BBQ restaurant to fill the orders. People waiting ahead of me waited similar times for just chopped beef sandwiches. I get waiting in a line to place an order, but this was beyond ridiculous. Links were good, but the brisket was dry. Definitely not worth the wait and sunburn for me.

Definitely satisfied, met some awesome people while in line ,after getting home we dug into the BBQ and i'm definitely going back. Good Stuff .

The BEST barbeque in Garland. NOTE: There is no indoor seating, in fact there is no seating here at all AND IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. Come early because once they sell out of a certain meat there is no more for the day. They need to make this a Garland landmark.

Endless potential. Got there at 1220 and ribs were sold out. They said, "We just ran out of ribs 1 or 2 people before you." Menu is very limited with ribs, brisket, sausage/links, beans, and potatoe salad. Very friendly and relaxed staff. This place has alot of potential, but currently lacks a reason to return. The one time I go, they're out of ribs by 1220. I got brisket sandwich and it was good, but nothing that made me impressed.

Always the greatest Pecan smoked barbeque in Garland. They sale out really quick. must get there between 9am and 12am. It looks like a shack right of the road but don't let that fool you they have the best barbecue around

Thats right..this food cannot be beat..little dive tucked away that always has a line..best ribs, brisket ever. The potato salad and beans are equally as delicious. Best meal in town..come early, runs out fast..because its so good! Highly recommend this place.

Best BBQ since Bodacious luv it

While I know the prices went up due to Covid jacking up meat prices, I still think this is one of the best Bar B Que places I have ever been! :)

This place has quite a cult following:) It is indeed a little shack and you could easily drive right by it and not notice it. But it is well worth the visit. We've always gotten the brisket when we've been. Superb! Be advised, they do close down when they sell out so if it's later in the afternoon when you're thinking of going, you might call ahead. A few times when we've been, we got the last of the brisket and the folks behind us had to order other things instead.FYI - I guess you could find some place to sit and eat outside if you wanted to but it is really a take out place. Grab and go. And enjoy!

I really liked their food. I always get fantastic customer service there. The place is neat and the workers are always welcoming. Will visit here again.

I'd heard about Meshacks but had never been. Sadly, I see no reason to ever return. Average #bbq with a long wait in the hot sun. Ordered at 11:07 received my plate at 11:46. Was hoping the ribs and sausage would make up for the sweaty wait. Too salty ribs and sausage with no defining flavors.

My favorite bbq Resturant. very close to my home

This place is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you not there early you want get nothing . This place sales out fast. It reminds me of back home . Just down home good BBQ. Nothing big just down home and the young lady there is awesome. She is so sweet and I like it because they call you by name when your food is ready like they been knowing you for years . They give a smile every time they look at you and that is wonderful. That"s God all day everyday. My pray is they are blessed each day God allows them to serve.

Piles of smokey tender beef and pulled pork, make it worth the long wait. I would give it 5 stars if there were more places outside to sit while we wait. We had to stay in our car...(45 minutes). Also i love the potato salad! The price is great for the amount of food you get. $10 combo meat and two sides. Enough for my husband and i to share and have leftovers. They used to be cash only years ago, now they take cards. The sign says open at 1030, closed when they run out- good business practice, they don't throw away food @ the end of the day.

I love me some meshack BBQ

Best bbq in the Dfw hands down , can’t go wrong with the jasper!

Best priced, always fresh, and has the taste that is hard to find!!

The BBQ here is definitely hard to beat. Service is great and fast. I only wish they stayed open a little later.

This is country cooking at its finest, everything is Gr'8 just tell them that Ennis TX sent you, he's from waxahatchie TX but that's okay the food is 1st rate

So much hype I had to try this place. Everyone I know that have lived in Garland for a long time swears that Meshack's is the best. I found it average. Better than most franchise chain BBQ places, but far from the best Dallas county has to offer. Not bad, but not worth passing other BBQ places for.

Delicious pecan smoked genuine tx BBQ. Nuff said.

The ribs here are on point. Tender smokey and full of flavor. Real Texas BBQ.

My food was hot and fast. Great portion and great price! I look forward to my return. I cant wait to try more.

The food is great! Ribs don't get any better than those.
