Ooooooooommmmmmmmmggggggg!! So worth the drive!! The restaurant was very homey and laid back. We were greeted by a very sweet lady at the register. The food I will definitely rate high up there with Dayne's!! We ordered the brisket ( couldn't even pick it up because it was soooo tender that it crumbled in my hands) also ordered the pork burnt ends( very tasty) with the sides of the street corn and the potato salad and who could resist a Texas Twinkie?!?! The best sides I have had thus far!! One of the best BBQ places yet!!

The food and ambiance was amazing. At first we didn't realize the Birria tacos came with cilantro and onions . We always get asked if that's okay. But when we asked if we could send them back they kindly agreed. If you go and don't want cilantro and onions please make sure to say so when ordering.. we're very thankful they were able to fix it for us. Ohhh and they had $3 dollar mimosas on Sunday!!! $3 Mimosas!!! The bartender was amazing !

Have you tried this place? Well let me tell you this place was a hidden gem for me but man once I found it I gladly spend my money there. The food has an amazing flavor. It's BBQ with flare. I have had just about everything there. Be prepared to spend your money cause everything on the menu sounds good. My first time there the server/cashier was very accommodating she was helpful. Go try this place for yourself

This was my first time visiting the store front, and it was so cool finally being able to see it! They worked so hard to get to where they are now we will always support!! The food was great like always, they posted they had a special that day and it looked so good we had to get it!! The only thing I wish the potato came with was bbq sauce and sour cream, but that's just me. It was still super flavorful either way! The service was great, the person working the register was so nice, she even remembered my name when I was walking out the door! This is definitely still one of my favorite bbq places in Arlington! Thank you guys for everything y'all do

Would do 4.5 because the to-go order didn't have the 2 tacos. Ordered 2 meat (brisket/rib), potato salad and Mac and cheese was more than enough for my wife and I. Both meats were outstanding. Mac and Cheese is good. Potato salad is different from "traditional", but I good different. Definitely going back. Will check order before leaving next time. Cool atmosphere. Look forward to eating there. Staff was very nice. Better IMO than other BBQ in area.

This place just opened a month ago. They don't have alcohol just yet. It is BYOB until they get alcohol I think. Very open space. Lots of TVs. Over all chill and awesome place!! Service was great. You order at the counter.

Was scrolling social media and saw a post about the day's special of a Burger, side and 2 birria tacos for $20. We have been meaning to go here so many times and decided today was the day. My husband got the special and I got 1/2lb brisket, cherry bomb and a Texas Twinkie. Our food was absolutely outstanding. There was not one single thing I tried that wasn't delicious. They have recently moved from a food truck to a brick and mortar so the inside is still a work in progress but they have lots of seating, tvs and it's clean. My food came out pretty quick and service was friendly. I am kicking myself for not trying them out all the other times I thought about it. If this is you......GO NOW

Eaten at 225 several times over the years. Think every visit was when they were parked at Division brewing. Always liked the bbq, but it got to where my visits were mostly to try something new they were touting on Facebook or whatever. Best thing I like about 225 is the non bbq, bbq stuff they make. They just opened in their building, I was out running errands and decided to go check them out. Early afternoon on a weekend. Not super busy, good for me, I looked at the menu above the register. I really was just going to grab a sandwich, but honestly didn't see any sandwiches offered on the menu. Maybe I just missed it, but before I could ask, I was intrigued by the Chipotle nachos. Cashier wasn't sure what was on them, which was a little amusing, but I stopped her and just asked "there is some kind of meat on them, right?" when she nodded and said yes, I told her that was good enough for me. I got a soda from the fountain (No Coke, Pepsi!...but I drink DP anyway) and grabbed a seat at the bar. They saw my number and dropped off my nachos soon after. It was a pretty big pile, plenty for two. I saw the meat was pulled pork, with lots of cheese, and a few other veggie type things, with a sauce (chipotle probably) drizzled on top of everything. They were really good, and not skimpy on the meat. I finished off a pretty good amount of them. My only issue is the chips they use are thick, which is probably good to put off the chips getting soggy quickly, but I still prefer thinner chips. Not a deal breaker, I would get the nachos again. Inside is pretty barren. I think the two pool tables must be leftover from when it was Mavericks sports bar. Doesn't look like they changed much. But I come for the food, not the ambiance. They have birria tacos, think I saw birria ramen, several other regular, non bbq menu items. I remember when they did the pork belly sandwiches, those things were great. No booze, but BYOB. Anyway, glad to see them in a nice, air conditioned space. Over the years I would pass by during summer months because it was just to hot to sit outside.
