Best Classic Restaurants in Fort Worth | Eater Dallas

"Riscky’s is a family-owned barbecue joint that has been serving its community since 1927, earning a reputation for its consistency. The original location on Azle Avenue is a short drive from the Stockyards and still sports much of its signage from decades ago. It’s great for grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely dinner, and the simple yet satisfying menu offers all the classic barbecue dishes, including brisket, pork and beef ribs, pulled pork, and sausage. Be sure to check out the other locations at Stockyards Station, Sundance Square, and West Side Camp Bowie — to name a few. Good for: A casual lunch or dinner with old school charm and history — oh, and some good old Texas barbecue" - Michael Ellington

We were in Fort Worth and stopped by this place for a quick bite. It was a good option for a snack, but not the best choice if you are looking for a full Texas barbecue experience. We ordered sausage on bread with fries, which were tasty, and a rack of ribs to try. Unfortunately, the ribs came with too much fat and very little meat, and they were not among the most flavorful we’ve had. That said, if you are nearby, it can still be worth a stop the decor is amazing and the service is excellent.

Another fantastic culinary experience! When timed appropriately, you may complement your dining with one of the two longhorn cattle drives. We have searched for an “All You Can Eat” beef rib menu option… at Riscky’s, you can get your fill! Great smoky flavored ribs, chicken, and pork. They also have stuffed jalapeños, good coleslaw, and fried brisket bites. I highly recommend Riscky’s!

Had a great time at Riscky’s Barbecue! The atmosphere is casual and fun, perfect for hanging out with friends and family. COLD BEER!!! The drinks were cold and refreshing, and the fried pickles were absolutely addicting with just the right amount of crunch. The mozzarella sticks were gooey and satisfying, pairing perfectly with the ranch dip. The staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, and the service was quick even though the place was busy. The laid-back vibe and solid food make Riscky’s a great spot to relax and enjoy a casual meal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Fort Worth and looking for a classic barbecue joint with a fun atmosphere!

I'm coming from overseas so was expecting the bbq to be moist and very saucy. I ordered the pork ribs and it came with fries, beans, coleslaw and some bread. I'd say portions are huge, you're definitely well fed and for a good price. I wouldn't say it was the best bbq I had though, ribs were a bit dry.

The food was good. I had the smoked catfish tacos - something I’d never heard of before. Our server was great, friendly, and personable. My only constructive critique is that the tables were close together, causing me to scoot up each time one of the food runners came by - otherwise, they were squeezing through. My family enjoyed their food, so we’d come back. I’d like to try the covered patio next time.

This is a nice barbecue spot with a good variety of meat choices. I tried the pulled pork, which was not labeled as spicy — and it definitely was spicier than I expected. I also ordered a potato salad on the side, but it was way too sour for my taste, likely because of too much vinegar. Overall, the basket (without bread) felt a little small, and I was still hungry after finishing. Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s a pedestrian area. There’s a large lot close by, but it’s expensive (around $15 for a few hours). If you’re willing to walk about 10/15 minutes, you can find free parking further out. The area is quite touristy but rather enjoyable for locals as well.

The plates here are a lot of food for the money. We got the grilled BBQ shrimp and it had 9-12 shrimp which was enough for us to split. You get several sides and I did the onion straws with an upcharge. It was a large portion and they were delicious! Very cool atmosphere right in the heart of the stockyards. Kaylee was our waitress and she did a fantastic job!

Family night at Riscky’s. This is a family friendly place with lots of great Texas style barbecue dishes! Disclaimer: we’ve been going here for YEARS and our go-to favorites are the all you can eat ribs and the gunslinger burger. We also enjoyed fried pickles and jalapeno cheese curds to start. Everything was hot and delicious! My hubby ordered Texas fries on the side of his burger and sadly they were overly salty, but our server tonight named Tiny got them replaced and they were a hit! Tiny went above and beyond and is hands down one of our favorites servers in the industry so we will definitely ask for him to take care of us again in the future. If you’re ever in Texas and want some good ol’ fashioned BBQ- go to Riscky’s!
