What People Are Saying About Big Al's Smokehouse
Featured Review

In Short – Red trim and vinyl covered booths greet you like old friends in this 50's-style dining room. Al's serves groups at family-size wood tables. A kid-friendly dessert menu features fresh baked cookies and Big Red soda. Out-of-town guests arriving at Love Field Airport are only two blocks from authentic Texas barbecue.

ALL STAR DINING PLACE
by JANEDONNA
I don't get to Dallas very often unfortunately, but Big Al's is my number one stop. I have never had a bad meal there and my only problem is to keep myself from eating everything at one sitting. I have to make more than one trip there.
- Pros: EVERYTHING
- Cons: TOO MANY DELICIOUS CHOICES FOR ONE TIME

Best Party Ever!
by EastWest
Big Al's really made my company event great. They were very professional and had everything set up just the way I wanted. The food was great, just as good as in the restaurant. My guests kept going back for more and Big Al's kept them fed and happy. I will definately use them for my next party.
- Pros: Great Food and Professional Service
- Cons: People at more than I planned

Best BBQ in Dallas - LOVE IT!
by extxNWgirl
I have been going to Big Al's since I was a kid. My dad always took me, and it has been my favorite ever since. I have visited almost every barbecue in Dallas and Austin, and I still think Big Al's has the best food and the yummiest sauce ever!
Whenever I'm in town, I make it a point to stop by and get my fix! YUM!!
- Pros: Authentic TX BBQ! Great ribs, sauce, brisket & SAUSAGE!!
- Cons: Only get there couple times a year - far from WA :)

Great BBQ at BiIG AL'S so much better than the" Dallas Famous BBQ''S"you read about.
by easy43
I may be a red neck but I have eaten BBQ all over this country, including all the so called great South Texas establishments. I was taken to Big Al'S about 20 years ago. Now I take my clients there whenever I can. Their food is always great, just go their for lunch and see the lines. I have also had them deliver food to customers and I always get great results.
I agree with those other reviews-about the very negative reviews being bogus.
- Pros: worth the wait
- Cons: they need more air conditioning

Horrible service
by lh2262
I received horrible service from this restaurant. They just didn't seem to care that my husband and I were there. I really hated the people that worked there because they were just plain rude. I drove pretty far to go to this restaurant because I thought it would be good but that was just a waste of gas. I have tasted way better barbeque from other restaurants for cheaper than this place. Their food was barely ok but I would never say it was good. I am never going back to this place and I am never going to recommend it to anyone.
- Pros: Lots of parking spots
- Cons: Horrible service, food wasn't that good
