Heim Barbecue on the River

It was the best Texas BBQ I had by far. The meat was tender, juicy/moist, and tasty. No sauce is needed. The plate of Brisket comes with 2 sides at 22. You can't beat this deal. The place is very cozy with a bar indoor dining or outdoor seating available. Highly recommended.

I was on vacation in Fort Worth from New York, and I knew we needed to try some Texas BBQ before leaving. This was the only BBQ place open nearby so we decided to try it out. It was surprisingly quiet for dinner time on a Saturday. There was no wait at all which was nice. The atmosphere was really nice with a lot of people sitting outside and they have live music performing. The food was amazing. I got the 1/2 pound of brisket and the loaded small potato skins. The brisket was very tender and juicy, the Mac and Cheese was really good, the fries were nothing special really. Just your standard crinkle cut restaurant fries. But the potato skins really surprised me. They were absolutely delicious. Pricing seemed very fair to me. Even surprisingly cheap. Maybe it’s because I’m from New York where everything is more expensive. But the half pound of brisket with 2 sides would easily be 20-25. I was expecting to pay much more. I think the negative reviews about the portions may partially be because they look small on the tray. But a half pound of brisket is still a half pound, and that was very filling for me on top of the 2 sides. The staff was also great, there was a friendly gentleman who asked how everything was and everyone seemed to take their job seriously, being very attentive, bussing tables, and handing out menus by the door. If you are in the area I definitely recommend trying this place out. A nice casual BBQ experience

Great restaurant in the river district. Personally I like this location better than the Magnolia location as it has much more space and it’s easier to get seated and enjoy the meal. Today I had the 2 meat plate with pork ribs and jalapeno cheddar sausage, with Mac and cheese and pinto beans for sides.

Found this BBQ by seeing them Featured on Meat Church YouTube show called Pitt Stops with Matt Pitman. Needless to say this BBQ did not disappoint. The Brisket is phenomenal and the Bacon burnt ends are amazing. From the Menu to the staff to the cobbler and atmosphere this stop is a home run! We are not local but it was worth the drive.

Oh my Terry Black‘s barbecue doesn’t have anything on this place. The staff is incredible. The food is wonderful. The barbecue is over-the-top fabulous probably the best I’ve had in years and years and the pricing is perfect so many other restaurants overcharged for their meats and their sides this place Has an incredible value they give you tons of food and they have so many wonderful options with an A bar to enjoy a cocktail along with your dinner or lunch Catering from this place has to be incredible. I am now a lifelong customer. I was referred by many many friends finally made it over here. I live very close and I am happy. I did the girl who took our order whose name is on. The receipt is absolutely incredible and help me Smart decisions when ordering nothing like the other place that I referenced at the top of the page where they heard you through like a bunch of cattle get your money and actually probably don’t really give a damn if you’re happy or not I wasn’t impressed with Terry Black and will never go back especially after finding this wonderful place that all my friends say is incredible. They were right.

First off, the BBQ was fantastic! We got the jalapeno cheddar sausage, brisket, and the pork ribs ..... and would order all 3 again next time. Their Mac and Cheese was also great and I give their coleslaw a 3 out of 5 rating. We sat on the patio on a Saturday night and listened to some incredible live music and just had an incredible time altogether!

It occurred to me after my most recent visit that I had never reviewed so I had to remedy that. Heim is my go-to BBQ for anyone visiting me from out of town. I lived in FTW for 8 years so I was there when the first location opened. There are a lot of great places to get BBQ in the area but Heim is my favorite. And the Riverside location is the best IMO. It has all the great stuff of the other locations (amazing beef ribs, brisket, sausage, bread) while also having great parking. I also have to call out the amazing service. There’s a gentleman there who has a walker of some sort who works there. I was with my kids and friend and he was so attentive and helpful especially with my daughter. The whole staff is great but wanted to call him out specifically. I asked his name but forgot since then. Anyways, I love this place

Texas BBQ at its best! Get in the line and order your food THEN go pick out your table. Inside if too hot but definitely outside at the picnic tables in the evening. String lights and live music on a Saturday set the scene for the food to come! I got the 2 meat/2 sides option. Brisket, Bacon Burnt Ends, Hatch Chili Macaroni and Cheese and coleslaw. Turns out, that three full meals worth of food for me. So good! Those Bacon Burnt Ends are HUGE and smoked to perfection. The brisket was a nice balance of fat to lean, super filling and satisfying. The Mac was good, creamy with a touch of pepper. Not too hot, perfect for me. The coleslaw is a purple cabbage and carrot variety. Good flavor and crunch, this slaw would be amazing served on top of a pulled pork sandwich! We also got the potato salad and the banana cream pudding. Both were delicious. Potato salad has some of the burnt ends and cheddar cheese in it. All the sides are served in a fairly large portion. We took home enough food for a whole other meal They do have a bar serving beer and wine, not sure about cocktails. Didn't see any. They have a person outside to sell additional beverages by the picnic tables. This is one of three locations and by far the most casual. Kids playing on the grass while adults sit at the picnic tables listening to music and chatting pleasantly. Great place to take the family!
