I’d prefer a big-ass picture of Lorenzo Lamas to the creepy desperado character on their marquee. Plus, they serve breakfast. This Grand Prairie establishment, in my mind, is trying to be a few too many things to a few too many people. The results in brisket and ribs were both very pedestrian. We suspect they trimmed the brisket of crust and fat, so that is essentially a non-starter for me. The ribs were cooked acceptably but lacked in flavor. The rest of our experience was fine. It’s just that barbecue appears to be more of a component of the restaurant’s theme than a critical part of their dining experience.

  1. I recently discovered Outlaws

    I think it is one of the better BBQ places i have been to in the North Texas Area

    Based on beef, ribs, beans, slaw, and team i would have given it at least three and maybe more stars

    Interestingly, I agree with most of your other ratings, so was surprised at this one

  2. Totally agree with this review.

    I've eaten there twice and both times I left thoroughly disappointed.

    Considering this is a BBQ restaurant (and not a chain) I expect their Q to be better than my own. My wife said it was "BBQ for old people" and said "if Luby's did BBQ this would be the result" (LubyQue).
