Got a hankering for barbecue, but don't want to empty your wallet?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the most exceptional sources for affordable barbecue in Fort Worth, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to fill the bill.
1. Lone Star Bar-B-Que
First on the list is Far North's Lone Star Bar-B-Que, situated at 3665 Western Center Blvd. With four stars out of 121 reviews on Yelp, the eatery that serves barbecue, desserts and sandwiches has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an inexpensive option.
Yelper Bob J., who reviewed Lone Star Bar-B-Que on July 30, wrote, "Bar-B-Que was great, and the service was friendly. ... The brisket and spicy barbecue sauce was a good combo for me. Brisket was well-prepared and the meat was flavorful. The sides are good, as well."
And James T. noted, "Real old-timey barbecue. Most of the barbecue restaurants quit using a rub on their barbecue. This place does it right, and the sauce is great. Many barbecue restaurants are stingy on the sides. I got a big helping of sides."
2. Robinson Bar-B-Q
Morningside Park's Robinson Bar-B-Q, located at 1028 E. Berry St., is another outstanding choice, with Yelpers giving the economical barbecue restaurant and catering establishment four stars out of 29 reviews.
Yelper Amelia S., who reviewed Robinson Bar-B-Q on April 14, wrote, "This little place doesn't look very fancy, but they really know their barbecue. The food is delicious and the staff is always friendly."
Yury M. added, "The ribs and beans are delicious. The barbecue sauce here is everything! The staff is very kind."
3. Riscky's BBQ
Finally, Riscky's BBQ, a diner known for its barbecue and sandwiches, is another low-priced go-to, with four stars out of 16 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2314 Azle Ave. to give it a try for yourself.
"In 1911, Polish immigrant Joe Riscky came to Fort Worth and went to work at Armour Packing Company in the Stock Yards for $9 a week," the business explains in the history section of its Yelp profile. "In 1912, he married fellow immigrant Mary Bunkervitch, and in 1927 they opened Riscky's Grocery & Market a few miles from the Stock Yards. When they began offering lunches featuring their homemade barbecue, Cowtown loved it, and the Riscky family has been in the business ever since."
Furthermore, "Only the best quality meats, today the Riscky family operates six great barbecue restaurants."
