Angelo's Bar-B-Que

Best BBQ I have ever had and on top of it the chilled beer glass was the best unexpected surprise! I got the platter with ribs and of course the brisket with Mac n cheese and potato salad. I have lived in the south and visited many well known BBQ’s and this tops them all. When I come back to TX I will be stopping back again.

This is what we have been looking for, real BBQ! Great food and great prices! Friendly staff and learned it opened in 1958 and now the grandson runs the place!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Heavenly taste. Go for the rib plate with smoked mac and cheese and baked beans

This is our new place to hold our golf committee meetings, and the food is pretty good here. I love their ribs and sausage. The meat just falls off the rib bones. Mac and cheese is creamy and yummy and love the cole slaw. Its order when you walk in, and they get your plate filled up fairly quickly. Fountain drinks and sweet and unsweetened iced tea and a few beers. Plenty of seating and parking out back. Its limited parking in the front.

We just got into Texas and this was our first stop. This place is phenomenal. The atmosphere is something out of a movie and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The ribs were something special.

Visited while I was at a conference in Fort Worth. Amazing BBQ and sides! Their coleslaw is absolutely my favorite in Texas! I also had the smoked mac and cheese and their chicken it was absolutely delicious! If you have a chance to visit I highly recommend them

The best BBQ spot in Fort Worth. Three generations of my husband’s family have been dining there, and when they introduced me to it I absolutely loved it. My favorites are brisket sandwich with rye bread, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. But everything I tried there was awesome!❤️

We enjoy Angelos at least once a month. We took some friends from out of town. We had ribs, brisket and sausage. Ribs were some the best ever had!!!! Brisket was tender and delicious. Thanks we enjoyed and our friends where impressed.

Boy I do not like writing these kinds of reviews. I went to Angelo's with friends for dinner before a show nearby at Casa Mañana. My friends parents have been coming here for like 50 years so it holds a special place in their memories and I think that is why Angelo's means a lot to them. As someone who was just looking for a good BBQ potato, it wasn't quite the same experience. The place is huge but it was largely deserted with only a few tables having guests. The room is dated and there are mounted game trophy heads around the ceiling perimeter. This didn't bother me so much, but I am sure that some people would not be wild about it, so be forewarned. Back to the BBQ... I had the BBQ potato and it wasn't hot, barely lukewarm, and that a huge red flag for me. I like hot food hot. And the BBQ wasn't what I was expecting. I saw one of the guys chopping brisket behind the counter and I assumed this was for our potatoes, but it wasn't. The meat for the potato came out a a warmer or something and it had already been mixed with sauce. That's another red flag for me. I prefer to sauce my own food as I like a very small amount of sauce on my BBQ. I want to taste the meat. As it was, the sauce didn't really add anything to it and both me and another friend who had a potato agreed with what I found. It seems Angelo's is a place that you either really like, or really don't care for. Unfortunately, I am in the latter group. There are too many BBQ places nearby that I would prefer to go to before I would consider Angelo's again.

While Angelo's is a very historic barbecue joint, that also means that it is relying on It's prior accomplishments rather than what it's doing today. I have been eating here since the early 80s, and it's getting to the point where I'm considering not eating here again. It's never been one of my favorite places, as I am not a big fan of a yellow mustard based barbecue sauce, but they do have amazing cold beer served in frozen fishbowl mugs. My wife and I decided to have lunch at Angelo's today and we both have the stuffed baked potato choice of meat with chopped barbecue. $13.50 per plate. What shocked me was that they charged $.75 for about a tablespoon of grated cheese. Seriously? $13.50 for a baked potato and a charge for that little bit of grated cheese just seemed petty. All told with drink and tip it was pushing $40 for two people for average barbecue So unless you want the nostalgia of eating at Angelo's, there are much better places to eat barbecue in Fort Worth.

Fantastic and yum turkey! So good and delicious! Yum yum yum. Thank you! Smokey flavor.

Have been here several times. This visit I wasn't particularly hungry, so I just got an order of the jalapeño poppers. $10 for 4. Stuffed with smoked turkey and wrapped with bacon. Not much cheese in there but that's ok with me. Would get again! Place was pretty quiet at 5pm on a Wednesday.

I went to Angelo's with a few coworkers for a quick lunch. My expectations were not too high,but the experience for sure met and may have even exceeded the expectations. The team has speedy service and prices were realistic, especially for barbecue. There wasn't anything that stood out flavorwise, but the green beans, coleslaw, and sauce all complemented the juicy smoked chicken pretty well. What an interesting and eclectic decor they have!

Food, overall, was good. I asked about Texas Twinkies and was recommended their bacon jalapeño wrapped chicken thingys. Those were actually a bit nasty. Not even close to a Texas Twinkie. Good atmosphere, friendly service. Nothing very special on the menu - but the brisket tacos were excellent as well as the PEACH COBBLER W/ICE CREAM!!!

Well I went back again after a year last night and at prime dinner time. Only about 15 customers in the place. Now I know why. The brisket sandwiches had very little brisket on It and the sides were not good. Four in my family were with me and all were very disappointed. The draft beer is still coldest in DFW, but I would not recommend anyone eating here. No wonder so few people in restaurant, they are not coming back either. Ever since the old man owner passed away, the son took over and obviously the quality,the nickel dining and all have driven business away. As bad as Dickey s bbq is, the food is better than this place.

I came here during a work trip due to a recommendation from a coworker. As soon as I pulled in the parking lot I knew I would like this place. It smells like meat as soon as you open your car door and smoke is barreling from the backside of the restaurant. I was greeted by two gentleman that were very helpful and even gave me a taste of a few sides to help me decide. I chose the brisket and the ribs. Although I'm not a huge ribs fan, I was glad I went with the recommendation for these ribs. They were so tender and delicious I loved them. They had just a thin bark on them and definitely fell off the bone. The brisket was tad dry for my liking and the only reason I took a star off. All in all, a great spot for a Wednesday late lunch and definitely a place I would recommend. This place just feels comfortable!!

Came here on a Friday around 7:30 PM, the parking lot was pretty full so we were lucky to find a spot. When we went in there was no line but a lot of the seatings were taken. I opted for a plate, which comes with two meats, and two sides and two pieces of bread. For my meats, I chose brisket and sausage and for my sides I chose mac & cheese and potato salad. The food was delicious. This place is definitely a quick pitstop if you have a full schedule and you just want an easy bite to eat with no frills. Everybody in my party was happy with their meal and left feeling full. Overall a really good spot if you're in the mood for barbecue and don't feel like waiting on a line.

A good friend of mine told me that I should have not had a Fort Worth experience until I've been to Angelo's barbecue. I was up for it and so we went over. It's kind of in the middle of all the warehouses, but obviously this place is very popular. It smells amazing as you come to the door come with all the wood smell in the barbecue cooking. There was a long line for lunch, and I think you can either get table service or you can stand in line, but if you stand in line, you tend to get it faster. they had all the traditional Texas barbecue, like chopped beef sandwich, or your choice of meats, two retreat varieties if you wanted. And you got two sides I had never had smoked corn on the cob before, it was delicious. But the entrée I went with the chopped beef on a baked potato I had traditional coleslaw, which was very tasty with celery seeds in it. And of course, the corn. They also had jalapeño poppers, which was smoked turkey wrapped in bacon and jalapeño. Delicious! And we finally wrapped up with dessert, we chose the pecan cobbler, which I had also never had before, which is basically pecan pie done as a cobbler. Topped with vanilla ice cream it was also very delicious. But that was a ton of food that was super tasty and I rolled out of there like Oompa-Loompas were following me. Very tasty will have to try again.

Angelos has been there for many years, always solid bbq. Enjoyed their beef ribs. Atmosphere is not fancy, basic Texas BBQ.

I haven't been here in years. The food was better than I remembered. The service was friendly. You order at the register and then find your table. Ambiance was nice. Very rustic and all Fort Worth style. I definitely recommend this place.

Certainly a historic site. The ribs were delicious and juicy. The chicken was ok, a little on the dry side. The sauce left something to be desired. Something was missing as it lacked oomph. It was watery (possibly Texan) but bland. I bathed my chicken in it to no avail. The lighting could use a real update. It was quite dark and fluorescently dungeoness. A warm color hue with more luminance was be a big improvement. It's counter service which is ok but it didn't seem like anyone really cared. There are no sauce bottles on the tables forcing you to go up to ask for more ketchup, etc. Overall, I imagine Angelo's had a loyal following from locals but there're too many options available for those new to the city for it to survive the next decade.

This is a great place to eat!! The restaurant has a neat atmosphere, and our food was some of the beat barbecue we have ever eaten. The ribs were truly"fall off the bone" and the brisket can be cut by a fork , and melts in your mouth. One of the servers told me they have been in business for 66 years, and it shows, cause they really know what they are doing!! Great job , Angelos!!!

I have been a customer of Angelos for over 60 years although because I no longer live in FW it has been several years since I had the pleasure of eating there. To celebrate a birthday I decided to treat my cousin to "something special" and buy him lunch at one of "my" favorite places and get him a treat he had never had before. Many years ago I got hooked on sliced brisket on dark rye with Swiss. I had never heard of it until I was in line one day and the guy in front of me ordered it. My cousin likewise had never experienced it so I was really looking forward to introducing this long time Fort Worthian to something both new and special. Unfortunately, it did not work out that way as the brisket was both fatty and tough (an odd combination), the dark rye was dried out and slightly hard and the Swiss tasted like it had been sliced the day before. I tried a side I had never had before "smoked Mac & Cheese" and would not recommend it as it was very dry and pretty tasteless. All in all, not the experience I was looking for. This was my first trip back to Angelos since the massive construction done on White Settlement RD several years ago and I have to believe they suffered during this time - perhaps the place was sold and the folks running it today just don't have the "hang" of it. Judging from the fact we were in the place at 2 pm on a workday and had picked that time to "miss the lunch time rush", we succeeding beyond my wildest expectations as there was literally no one else there when we arrived. The review would rate a 2 were it based on food alone, but the staff we encountered during our visit were very cordial and accommodating, and, the lemonade was outstanding!

The customer service was fast and friendly. I got the brisket tacos, which were delicious. I highly recommend the Mac and cheese as well

got a pulled pork baked potato, sausage and Macaroni, a chopped beef sandwich with potato salad, and a chopped beef baked potato. Unfortunately, the Brisket and Sausage were dry. We went at 5 and were able to get our food and a seat immediately. By 5:30 the place was packed. Lots of people love it, but it wasn't that good compared to other BBQ places around. I'd give it 2/5 stars.

Great bang for the buck BBQ place in Fort Worth. Not the best I've had, but excellent value, so my scoring is based on the price point. I got a 2 meat plate, with ribs, brisket, potato salad, and Mac n cheese. Add a large craft beer, and my total was 24.99, after tax. The flavor profile on the meat was excellent. Could have been a little moister, so I wonder how fresh it was... But the flavor was good enough that I used very minimal sauce. My sides were fine, nothing special, and no complaints. Beer selection was good, both draft and bottles. Common American beers and some local crafts. Service was counter service for ordering, but they have people walking around to ask if you need anything. Everyone was polite and friendly. Def check this place out if you are looking for a no frills BBQ place.

Been going there for as long as I've been alive. Even have it shipped to us in CA for holidays.

Update: almost decent plate for $19 wasn't bussin. 2 stars. Nice vibe, nice building, good history. No seasoning on the food and that's saying something being white

Friend actually recommended this place. Interior decor is interesting. Came during dinner time on a weekend. Got the brisket plate which comes with 3 slides ($18). Picked the cole slaw, mac and cheese, and one more item that I can't remember. Seems like... half a pound of meat. You could split between 2 people or finish the whole thing on your own. The brisket wasn't that good... I think because it was a little cold. The sides were the highlight and out of all of them probably the cole slaw was the best. There are a decent amount of TVs inside if you want to watch a. game. Plenty of seating. Definitely gives me a "hang out here" vibe. Maybe it would be better during lunch. There was a decent amount of people here.

Place has been here for years. Mom told me her dad and uncle used to take her here when she was a kid, and she's 58! Plate weighed about 10lbs.

Sorry to say, but this place is a no for me. Didn't enjoy my sides at all. Beans tasted like they were from a can as well as the mac n' cheese. The corn on the cob was super dry. The meat was decent enough. I got brisket and turkey so that's why I'm giving this place 3 stars. Nothing spectacular, but it was ok. Other than that I wouldn't waste your money trying this place out.

Cold beer! Friendly people! Great brisket. Needs spicy sauce. Will try ribs next time.

this place is more like a 3.25 out of 5 stars. this review is only for take out. I wanted to get bbq around my airbnb, and found this place less than a mile away. Its very interesting, that the target plaza looks nice and updated, but if you travel to around this angelos bbq area, it looks dim and desolate at night. When we got there, it was packed, and we couldn't find parking in the lot, but luckily on the streets there was a spot open. I called and ordered a meat plate with 3 sides and it was fairly quick for them to get my food ready. The interior was fairly packed packed, and its interesting as you walk in. Its a long corridor until you get to the front and order whatever you want. It's not modern by any means, and has more of a rustic vibe. As for the meat platter, it was roughly 16.50, and it came with your choice of meat, along with 3 sides and two slices of bread. I ended up getting the sliced brisket and potato salad, mac n cheese and coleslaw. The meat wasn't as juicy and definitely needed the sauce to help flavor it. The best item for the sides was the potato salad. The mac n cheese was kinda runny and the coleslaw had a interesting after taste, guess it wasn't my cup of tea. I do enjoy the fact that they provided bbq sauce along with two slices of bread and a pickle. from reading other reviews, it looks like this bbq restaurant has been a fort worth staple for many years, and i don't know if i'll be back since texas has so many other bbq joints. If i do, i'll try something other than the brisket.

Best BBQ I've ever had. Great service and fantastic interior. I had the rib plate. Pork ribs were seasoned and smoked to perfection. BBQ beans were awesome. Their sauce was on point. I'm a customer for life!

I came out to Angelo's for dinner on my own this week to explore some new BBQ spots in Fort Worth. Not something I usually say, but this place made me uncomfortable. When I walked in, I fell clean through the floor boards and into a dark room. I cannot remember what happened or how I got out of there. It must have been at least a 6 foot fall. The food was nothing worth mentioning. The ribs had a nice texture but were lacking in flavor. The brisket was dry and had almost no seasoning on it and the mac and cheese and beans both tasted like they were frozen. I swear the elk located above the kitchen door turned its head, made eye contact with me, blinked and turned back how it was. I have never been so petrified in my whole life. Most of the customers in the restaurant seemed as dead and pale as the animals stuffed on the wall. They even had the same glassy lizard eyes. The man working behind the counter looked just like me. In fact, if you showed me a picture of him, I would not be able to distinguish him from myself. While I was eating my mac and cheese, the lights flickered. I looked up from my food and found that I was alone in the restaurant. Then the lights went out and came back on after a few moments. Everyone was sitting exactly where they last were. I ordered a miller lite and, to my surprise, it came in a huge glass that was very nice to drink from. I very much liked the style of the glasses and the beer selection was very good. The food upset my stomach so I went to use the restroom. When I looked in the mirror I saw a man I didn't recognize staring back at me. I tried to leave the bathroom but the door was gone. I had to find my way through a mirror maze that lead to the back of the kitchen by the freezer. The kitchen staff got mad at me, started cursing at me in a language I have never heard before and lead me to the main dining hall. When I got back to my table, my food was gone. There were times where every time I walked through a door, it always lead back to the main dining hall. I would recommend this place for celebrating the life of my 97 year old mother in law that passed away in the first week of March, 2023 or smothering ribs in BBQ sauce and for birthdays.

Older interior and low light makes the space look so dark. I noticed a lot of older customers and was advised they are a city landmark. I tried them out twice since I work in the area and I was underwhelmed both times. The place is always packed so they are doing something right.

Awesome bbq! Everything delicious. The brisket was so tender, potato salad was yummy, and chicken was very tasty. And, dont forget to order the peach cobbler. It is in an old rustic building with lots and lots of animal trophies on display. Just what you would expect for a successful establishment that has been around with great food for a very long time.

One of my all-time favorite bbq places!!! Fast and friendly service, great barbq, open family-style tables, mild or spicy. Makes my mouth water! It's near base in White Settlement. Open parking. Get a to-go bag!

Great food Nice ambience Outstanding service Hjhhhhjhhjjjjjjjjnnnnnnnn1234

OK, I know I'm repeating myself here. But, hey, I get a pass on this 'cause I'm like old and old people repeat themselves. Right? So, why Angelo's does not rank in Texas Monthly's top 50 is beyond me. I have been to at least 20 if not more of the top 50 in the past several years, and some of those were just so-so on my visit. Such is barbecue. BBQ is like, well, you know what. Same bed. Same sheets. Same woman. Some times is better than others. And so, hey, look... I know what I'm tawkin' bout when I say Angelo's is right up there with the cats that are getting the TM accolades. Angelo's is cooking on straight hickory, no gas, no electricity, no nuclear fission or fusion or what the hell ever...in 60 plus year old brick pits. This is the real freaking deal, people. And the barbecue is perfection from brisket (I always order from the fatty end), to ribs to chicken, to I dunno...whatever they cook. This has been consistent for the forty years I have been eating here. And in the past year Angelo's has upped their game by adding a bunch of sides, and just recently a handful of new local beers on tap and in bottle to what was for years a rather lame (but COLD) offering of Bud, Shiner dark, and some megagag light or whatever. This is historic Fort Worth, people. And it warrants and deserves your patronage. Hey, trust me. 'know stuff.

Went here based on the good reviews and unfortunately were not thrilled. The ribs were pretty dry and tough and the ham, turkey, sausage and salami were ok but nothing special. With all the great choices in the area I really don't see a reason to come back.

I ate here with a big group of colleagues. The staff was friendly and they got us all through the line pretty quick. There was plenty of seating and the atmosphere was comfortable. I regret not getting the Brisket Tacos or the Baked Potato. I got the two meat plate and it was just ok. The chicken needed salt and wasn't anything special. The brisket was a little fatty and just ok. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if I were in the area, I'd give it another try.

I came here w/my best friend & her clan after her father's funeral. We had a huge party so they had the whole back room reserved for us. When we walked in we are greeted by to huge animals that had been killed and stuffed. (See pics) then we waited in line to place our order. It is a very busy place a lunch time but I must say I don't know why?? I ordered the stuffed baked potato w/chopped beef (everything on it). It was an overcooked potato with a dab of cheese, sour cream, & white onions. Oh and of course the chopped beef. The very flavorless, chewy chopped beef. My bestie, Patti ordered chopped beef sandwich w/everything & smoked a/Mac-n- cheese. She took one bite of the Mac-n-cheese & said that's horrible. So my interest was peeked. I had to taste. Is all I could taste was smoke. Like they put way to much smoke flavor in the Mac-n-cheese. I must say in spite of the bad food they have a great atmosphere & are grand host. Especially for our big party. I am gracious for them taking on such a big party & for such a memorable time in my besties family's life. .

I wanted to show my Californian boyfriend BBQ done right, and Angelos has taken its place as the standard per our taste buds. \\ beef brisket sandwich - the brisket falls apart and melts in your mouth--it almost makes you angry because it just disappears - the pickles and onions cut through the grease and balance things out \\ ribs - these were some of the most tender ribs we'd tried - the BBQ sauce was tasty but was almost unnecessary because of how packed the ribs already were with smoky flavor In case you're wondering, it's on a street called White Settlement but is not in White Settlement itself. As an API, I felt safe here. Everyone was very friendly, and I didn't get any scowls for wearing a mask. If you find yourself in Fort Worth, don't miss a visit to Angelos!

Great bbq joint. Food was on point. Ribs were delicious as was the brisket. Pulled pork Mac and cheese and potatoe salad were also good. Best part the beers were ice cold. Great meat and cold beer makes me a very happy person.

Angelo's BBQ used to be the gold standard in BBQ. Went Monday of this week and it's definitely not that anymore. Couldn't finish my potato salad, it was so bad. The only good thing was the ice cold beer.

Nah. I came here bc it's like 1.5 minutes from work and I'm disappointed. Customer service is great, but the food is lacking. Macaroni is bland, beans taste like canned ranch style beans and the turkey was too tough. The potato salad is good tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Can't say I'll return, unfortunately.

Delicious food, outstanding service, real Texan feel! Love this place, I am a loyal patron!

Crap someone wants to call bbq. Go to Dayne's, go to Heim s. Hell go to SpringCreek but don't waist your time going to this place. It survives on an outdated reputation that died with Angelo years ago. Folks I've had the pleasure of eating here since the mid 60's. I've had the misfortune of watching it deteriorate and receiving time after time bad tough brisket and ribs. Why I went back is beyond me and common sense. Save yourself the disappointment... don't go here!

We just traveled a day in Fort Worth, so we searched for the best place for BBQ. Angelo's came up. The wait line was not bad. It's going quickly. When you get in, you order sides first. We get meat place so you choose 2 sides. I picked smoked mac and cheese and green beans. For the meat, I order brisket. Mac and cheese did not smoky like it said. Green beans taste like from the can. Brisket was OK. The favor is bland but very soft. My husband ordered ribs with smoked corn on the cob. It's not smoky either. Ribs meat falls off the bone. They just bland. We ordered smoked salami and turkey jalapeños bacon wrap. Smoked salami was not good at all, but the wrap it's good. Overall, the foods were just a little bit better than Dickey BBQ. The ambiance decorated with a lot of animals head

Great meats, affordable prices. Ice cold Beer! Anything else needed to be said? Oh yes, great Cobbler!!

bbq sandwich tasted like it was made in a crock pot 2 weeks ago.. Hey you want to ruin your appetite look up on the ceiling vents and try to guess how deep the black mold fur is... Someone there must be related to the health inspector.. totally disgusting

We ate here on the recommendation of multiple locals who said it was a well-established bbq joint. Right when we parked we saw the smoke pit and it smelled great. That, plus the age of the building and we knew it would be good. Walking inside of the building, you are immediately greeted with a great smoke aroma. The inside seating area is HUGE. The taxidermy on the walls is also very impressive. The three of us each ordered different meats and sides, so we got a pretty good sampling of just about everything available on the menu. We all agreed that the best things at this place were the sausage, ribs, slaw, and pulled pork. The green beans were pretty plain, but the biggest disappointment here was the brisket and smoked corn cobette. The brisket was VERY dry. We were hoping this was the case because we came late in the day and it probably had been sitting in the heat box since early morning. The corn cobette was disappointingly flavored, plus the texture of it made it seem that it also had been sitting too long. Fortunately, the other meats/sides we had were much better. Their cobblers (we had all three varieties) were outstanding. Hot cobbler topped with quality ice cream is hard to beat. This place served the coldest (and cheapest) beers we had on our entire vacation, so make sure you get a goblet. Our waitress was awesome and had a great sense of humor. While this wasn't the highest rated bbq place we visited (mainly because of the disappointment of the brisket), it is still a place we all would highly recommend.

This will probably be my last visit to Angelo's as I can get better barbecue at lower prices closer to home. Tonight I got the combo, ribs and smoked sausage with double potato salad and Ranch Style beans. Sausage was dry and ribs were very dry. Neither had the smokey flavor typical of Texas barbecue. Potato salad and beans were good but not enough to gain an average rating. Dining room also needs a serious cleaning.

Placed an order, chicken, ribs, brisket, potato salad over the phone, the person who the order wrote down everything correctly. I picked the order, 3 bags, I asked if everything was in the bags, they said okay. Arrived home, potato salad missing, I called, the lady who answered the phone, explained the situation, she said that Angelo's would either refund the money, drive to go pick it up(From Saginaw) or save it for a later day. Asked to speak with the manager, same attitude as the phone operator( who has management aspirations) . They could care less about customer service. I hope the owner read this review, do some training in customer service. This is theft as far as I am concerned! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BBQ PLACE ANY MORE!

after 30 years of being a customer I thought it was time to write a review. I live in Utah and have been to the restaurant only twice during business trips to Dallas (its worth the drive) but I have ordered their bbq rub forever. In the beginning they didn't have a website and would not ship stuff so I had to watch for friends/family going that way to pick me up supplies. But they now have a website and have always delivered as promised. Enough about me! I think they make the best rub in the USA!! I would give them six stars if I could.

Not sure if everyone caught Covid and lost there taste buds and gave this garbage 5 stars but... This is by far the ABSOLUTE WORST BBQ I've ever ate. I've had better gas station BBQ then this sorry excuse for a restaurant. The brisket was not eatable, Mac and cheese was bland, Pork rib had no flavor and dry, The chop beef was disgusting. Don't @ me. Angelos is literally out here robbing people of there money.
