T D's Barbecue — Restaurant in Dallas

One thing that stood out to me while I visited this location is there was roughly 4 maybe five employees working. The younger employees prepared my order while the senior employee took my payment. I had been there several times before and knew exactly what to expect. The younger guy standing behind the counter prepared my entree, me being from a small country town I spoke to him in a soft subtle voice, expecting a more cautious reaction or should I say treatment. However to my surprise I was met with the common identity of Dallas natives, "time is money, money is time" so I made a quick decision without looking at the menu to select a dish that would be carefully sought after in many bbq restaurants "combination plate" brisket,ribs, with potatoe salad and baked beans. The young man made me a chop beef sandwich. Loosing his focus while answering questions from other staff member and trying to multitask. Once I made it to the register I was unaware what I just had bought until I finally sat down to open my brown bag that the food was stored inside. It was a chopped beef sandwich, had one before and a little upset, but I knew it would taste good as well. During the time I sat down and began to take bites out of my sandwich I also notice a few other things that was a pleasant sight to my eyes to see. Curvy plus sized big hips chocolate divas coming in simultaneously as I stuffed my faced. That made up for a large portion of the disappointment. However the good deed that Im about to get to is the highlight for the visit. There was a African American guy I would say in his 50's came over to my table and provided me with some good old strawberry Koolaid for free. That made me feel very special, that was a signature statement to me to say he appreciates my business, and that every customer despite him not knowing you is valuable to him as a person first and business second. That made me say subconsciously he has a pivotal role in his community. I...

Read reviews and thought we would drive there to try it. Saw menu, and it showed a $2.50 chopped beef sandwich. So my wife and I drive there to see if that was legit. It was, sandwich was good, I would honestly need at least 3 to fill me up, but great price. Pros - good food but would need to try the other meats but pretty sure it's all good. BBQ sauce was good. Banana pudding was alright, I have had some better from other BBQ joints. Cons - Not much of a seating area, place smelled great but definitely not inviting to stay and eat. Staff was not welcoming, not rude but definitely not showing any appreciation to customers walking in to spend money. I also kind of feel because I was Hispanic but either way I will not drive from North Dallas to eat here. If I am ever in the area I would probably stop in to pick up BBQ sandwiches but would also probably go check out another local BBQ joint and see if they are better in all aspects. I am all for supporting local businesses and minority owned businesses but also believe customer service/appreciation should be demonstrated. Anyway God bless them and that...

I’ve been going here for years but I just now figured I’d leave a review because I hope nothing ever changes here ! When I was pregnant with my son 7 years ago I used to always go to records bbq. Until I stumbled across TD’s BBQ and discovered their baked potato and chopped beef sandwiches. Which by the way are way cheaper than records. But mannnn that baked potato hit different. I went back another day and they were all out. Every time my mother in law would go the owner would tell her “tell your daughter in law I got some baked potatoes in for her today!” And to me that’s just so personal that he would remember. It’s now 2022 and their prices have yet to change in the middle of this inflation. I came here tonight to get a potato and a chopped beef sandwich and I thought to myself. I need to really leave this review because they so very...
