Soulman’s Bar-B-Que

The food was amazing, the service was great and the atmosphere was awesome. This will be one of our favorite spots to eat BBQ.

The main dish you order (meats) seem to be fresh, but a buffet style view of the sides doesn’t look appetizing to anyone. That’s just a typical chain BBQ place though. I thought the food I ordered was good. The staff was nice

Whoever considers this place barbecue has obviously never eaten good barbecue or barbecue period for that matter! I am shocked this place has multiple establishments. I ordered chopped beef and they actually put sliced beef in a meat grinder! Gross! Poor side selection and SO overpriced! Save your time and money, ANY other BBQ joint in town is better than this place!

Let me start by saying that tastes vary greatly from person to person and how good or bad barbeque is boils down to personal opinion. Of course this applies to any other type of food as well.
A restaraunt does not stay in business for 40 plus years by doing things wrong.
I’m not an expert but in a nutshell, this que is pretty darn good.
First off, this is the third location my wife and I have been to and the food is consistant for sure. We had the brisket and sausage plate and we both had double sides of the beans.
We were served up large portions of meat and the sides were self served. The sausage had really good flavor and wasn’t greasy at all. The brisket was good as well. It was super tender and slightly smokey. The sauce is slightly sweet and complimented the meats well.
As for the beans… I have to go with excellent. Lots of flavor and just a little bit of spice.
It was nice and cool in the dining area with country music playing loud enough to hear it but not too loud and the kitchen area that can be seen as well as the dining area were clean and condiments, napkins etc… were well stocked.
The staff was cheerful and friendly and stepped into the dining room to make sure everything was okay twice.
When we finished eating (with leftovers in hand) We both topped off our drinks and grabbed a free soft serve ice cream cone on the way out.
To wrap it up, I would say give this place a try and decide how good it is for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised.

This place was horrible! Hardly any side items, and what was there was cold. The brisket was super fatty and didn’t taste smoked… seemed more like boiled. We came on a Sunday evening and it took forever even though they didn’t seem very busy. Will never come here again!

Food is pretty good. Wish they had given us bbq sauce with our take out order though.

Somebody save my throat!!!
Had ribs today… it was super super supperrr dry! It was so dry that it scratched my throat as i swallowed it. the BBQ sauce on the side was pretty good though. Loaded potato on the side was a-​ok.

food was ok… the chopped beef is run through a grinder so in my opinion it oughta be called something different but whatever. my wife and i both ordered the loaded potato… mine pulled pork and her chopped [ground?] beef… the pulled pork portion was tiny and dry as hell .the wife got more or it looked like more because it was run through the grindy thing… no extra sides with our order and 2 pieces of pie to go …33.00 $ was our out the door total… fukin ridicules price for 2 loaded potato and 2 pieces of pie… wont be goin back there EVER… the pie was good though …

This is a fairly new Soulman’s location in Forney. My wife & I have eaten here a few times. It’s good BBQ. It’s not the greatest in the world, or even in Forney, but it’s good. We usually pick between here, 4 T’s & Shorty’s when we want good BBQ in the area. Shorty’s is my favorite, but my wife tends to prefer Soulman’s. I believe it’s because they have a larger selection of side items to choose from.

There are many bbq places in Texas and this place for me was just lacking. Very bland on flavor compared to other bbq places. Will probably not be coming back.
