"The brisket, sausage, and ribs at this Fort Worth barbecue joint are stellar, but the real star of the show is the bacon burnt ends. These delightfully smoky little nuggets of pork belly get slathered in a sweet and peppery glaze, and it’s damn near impossible to eat just one. This is a counter-service spot, and the line can get very long, especially at lunch, so plan accordingly. You’ll be eating on communal picnic tables inside. Good news for Dallasites who don’t want to drive to the original: Heim opened a location on Mockingbird Lane in West Dallas." - Courtney E. Smith
"Much like tacos, you can’t think of Texas without immediately thinking of barbecue, and Heim BBQ is one of the best options for smoked meats in Fort Worth. And Heim’s newest location, right next to the Trinity River, has plenty of space to spare - quite the opposite of the small side patio at their Magnolia Avenue location. Here you can grab a seat on their expansive covered patio or a picnic table on their open-air green space. For meats, we recommend the chopped brisket and bacon burnt ends. For sides, the onion rings and green chile mac and cheese are a must. The burger is tasty, too." - emily smith

"A larger second location opened in West Fort Worth’s River District in 2019 to accommodate growing demand; this riverside outpost continues the same focus on Texas barbecue and specialty catering, emphasizing homemade, from-scratch cooking and popular items like bacon burnt ends and brisket." - Adele Chapin
"Promising to be worth the wait, Heim Barbecue’s second location — nicknamed “Heim on the River” — opens April 16 in Fort Worth’s River District after two years in the making. Fans of the restaurant’s bacon burnt ends will be happy to know the new outpost will serve more barbecue thanks to eight smokers on site, with menu highlights including prime brisket, the HEIMBurger, twice-baked potato salad, sausages, pulled pork tacos with brisket-fat tortillas, and hand pies. There will be plenty of seating and parking, a full-service bar pouring cocktails, wine, frose and 24 beers on draft, plus a covered patio and an outdoor beer garden." - Adele Chapin
