Eddie Deen Ranch & Catering

My husband’s holiday work party was here and it was fine. Food was actually pretty good; my husband loved the brisket, I thought the chicken was nice and moist, sausage was flavorful. The whole atmosphere is a little hokey but that’s obviously what this place is all about. Venue was large, but it would have been nice to have an area set away from all the «action» in case you need a break or want to chat or something. All the staff was super polite and professional. Bathrooms could be nicer. I wouldn’t book an event here because it’s not my style but I would gladly go if I was invited to something here in the future.

We thought this was the best bbq we had while visiting Dallas. We were there for a conference and got invited to a vendors party and were so glad we did. There was a live band, armadillo races, a mechanical bull, and an Oklahoma bicycle race. I had chicken, brisket, sausage, beans, and ribs. It was too die for. And we had peach cobbler for dessert that was delicious. There was a bar and everybody was very friendly.

A group of us went to Eddie Deens last week as it was booked by our conference hosts. We were staying down the street at the Omni Hotel. The cost was $ 35 per person and promised a three meat all you can eat buffet with a cash bar. In short, the food was OK and they quickly ran out of it. Would not go again.

I was in Dallas for a work conference and one of the evenings was being hosted at the Eddie Deen Ranch. The venue was very big so it was spacious which was good. The bartenders were nice and attentive so no complaints there.
The food was good… at least what was left of it. this is the part that I didn’t really understand. I believe only half of the whole company had gotten food when they started already running out of salad and some of the other entrees… and somehow they weren’t able to bring more out until 30 minutes later? I mean i get it, we do have a huge company so it was a lot of people to cater to… but isn’t this a catering company? I would’ve thought that they would have been prepared for that many people. I can be more understanding with the barbecue (which was good, so props for that) but salad? why does salad take 30 minutes to bring out???
It was just frustrating when you get in line 30 minutes from when the event started and ¹⁄₃ of the food is already gone and not being replaced right away. I don’t know if you would really call that a good catering job…

My husband and I eloped in Hill Country in November, but our parents really wanted to celebrate with us so we hosted a post-​holiday cocktail reception at our home that quickly turned into 75 people. Needless to say I was stressed to the max, but Kathy Thrush and the team from Eddie Deen’s Catering took care of everything from start to finish. Kathy basically planned the menu & not only was it delicious, but arranged beautifully. They even brought their own kitchen and generator!!!
I was beyond impressed with the staff! The food was amazing! We received so many compliments on just the food itself, especially the brisket queso, crabcakes and sliders station. There’s no question in my mind that Eddie Deen’s is the best catering company in the DFW area. Based on the other reviews, it sounds like there were certain items on the menu that were less than stellar to some, but Kathy definitely got it right when she recommended the items we included on our menu (Passed hors d’ oeuvres, mini sliders station, build your own nachos station, and fruit & cheese display). They were a complete success and made the entire evening!

Went here for a work dinner event. Really cool place. The space is very big and has various different little areas. The mechanical bull, live band, and sofa area all add to how it’s got a little bit of everything. The food was super yummy!

I was in Dallas for a conference and we were here at Eddie Deen Ranch for a networking event. It was very spacious.
The food was mediocre at best, but the desserts were yummy. I forgot how creamy and delicious blue bell icecream was. I was hoping for more of a Texas BBQ items, but there wasn’t much of that. What stood out were the entertainment. The group that was performing were very engaging and funny. There were armadillo races, the shooting timed station, the mechanical horse riding.
The staff were very kind and attentive. There were also an area where guests can lounge around, play a game of pool, areas to take photos.
Overall, I had a pretty good time here.

My company, Keller Williams Realty in Burlingame, CA, hired out this place for the night and I have to say, coming from England, and living in California, I’ve NEVER been to anything like this before. I had a riot! The atmosphere was awesome, the food was great, there’s plenty of room to dance and my team entertained themselves riding the bull and participating in the other things that were going on there. We all got free cowboy hats too which was awesome! This place/​night really made my trip! Highly recommend it!

Nice place for large corporate events. Food was ok, not great.

AWFUL. Stay clear. We purchased a murder mystery Groupon to attend this dump. As we parked, the attendant chased a homeless man off the lot. Upon entering the warehouse, I promptly approached the bar for a drink. Immediately, I was re-​directed to my table to wait for a waiter. I munched on bag salad and drank country time lemonade. After 45 minutes of terrible acting, no waiter, no food, and no alcohol, I couldn’t take it anymore. When I asked the wife if she would like to go, her eyes lit up and she happily agreed. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, EVER!

Being a New Yorker, coming to Eddie Deen’s was a really fun experience! They had bull riding, «calf roping» I think it’s called, other games, line dancing a great buffet. Not to mention everyone inside is dressed in Texas attire with hats, boots and other fun accessories!
We held a corporate event here with live music (someone said one of the musicians was Kenny Rogers brother!) and it was a great venue. The food was really good. They served BBQ: brisket, ribs, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, corn, Mexican food: Tacos, guac, beans Cajun food: Shrimp, rice fried fish and multiple bar locations for drinks.
It was a huge space so I’m not sure what they do when they don’t rent it out but it definitely was large enough for big parties or events. I liked this place a lot but I guess since I am a tourist not sure what the locals think of it!

We’ve used Eddie Deen for quite a few events at work. Every time the food has been wonderful. Everything is tender, seasoned well, and very flavorful. We’ve done the Uptown Supper a couple of times and everyone agrees (250+ people) that it is delicious. Staff is professional and does a great job. We will continue to use them for our events.

I had a great time at Eddie Deen’s Ranch last night for Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Everything was handled perfectly, from parking to the well staffed bar with free beer and wine. Dinner was served buffet style and went smoothly as well.
The brisket was smoky, moist, and tender. I was a huge fan of the sausage too. The sides were above average as the coleslaw was fresh and everything else was served hot. I like my food to be hot (temperature). Dessert was ⁵⁰⁄₅₀: cookies did not stand out but the chocolate pecan pie was yummy.
The event was fully staffed so there were plenty of friendly people serving alcohol or clearing tables. Fun event, professionally handled!

I had Eddie Deen Catering at my son’s Birthday party. I had the all american. It was the best ever. everyone love the food. we have used Eddie Deen for family gatherings. Eddie Deen catering staff have always been 100% on top of everything and has always dressed sharp. our family have tried most of the food. it has never been bad. As far as i can say they will always be on top of my list to call for any catering event. U guys are awsome

Eddie Deen’s Ranch at Downtown Dallas is already listed on Unilocal (with no reviews)… but this review is strictly on their catering side of the business.
We had Eddie Deen’s Cater two different training sessions a couple of weeks ago (¹¹⁄₁₁ and ¹¹⁄₁₃).
The first day we had BBQ. Mashed Potatoes, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Corn, Green Beans, Chicken, Brisket, Sausage, Peach and Apple Cobbler. I was underwhelmed by the sausage, but the rest of the meal was pretty darn good.
The second day we had a Mexican Fiesta catered at an off-​site Team Building Training meeting. There were cheese enchiladas, beef & chicken fajitas (with all the trimmings), sopapillas, blackberry and cherry cobbler. I was not impressed at all with the mexican food, but didn’t want to say anything.
But, then on the hour-​long van ride back, our entire office unanimously decided that we would stick to BBQ from now on.
The BBQ would have garnered 4 stars, but the Mexican brought this caterer down to 3.
