Bill's Bar-B-Q


WHITE SETTLEMENT: Bill's Bar-B-Q 600 N Las Vegas Trl White Settlement, TX 76108 817-246-3961 Open M-F 10-8

The pictures tell the whole story here. I really wanted to like this joint after reading some good reviews online and seeing the mom 'n pop look of the place. In addition to BBQ, mexican food options are available, and let's hope it's their specialty. A large opening in the wall allows a look into the kitchen, and my eyes were stung before I was even able to take a bite. Right in front of me the "pit master" unfoiled a cold and gray half-slab of ribs, placed it in tupperware in order to bathe it in sauce before it reached the microwave to be further decimated.



I took a single bite of this baked meat and nearly spat it out after flashbacks of my school cafeteria. Brisket was at least edible. It's hard to screw up a cheap piece of meat that is well seasoned and sits for hours in a crock-pot. The cut may technically be brisket, but monchromatic roast beef is what shows up on the plate.



If BBQ is what you crave, then this place is not the destination. Head down the street to Soda Springs on Clifford, and thank me for steering you away.

  1. Cut to the bone!

    These are the reviews that prove you're not getting "full" of your increasing popularity.

  2. Why bother giving it even one star? It even looks nasty.

  3. well bills has been one of my favorite places since I was young, and their chop beef is the best in town, and unexpensiven not to mention, and fyi i heard worser things about sodaspring itself,ewww..but if you still want to try sodaspring fellow consumers, its on "Clifford St." not "Clifton".
