Uncle Dan's BBQ Ribhouse

This is the worst BBQ I've ever had in my life, the place was completely empty and I can see why. They did not have any ribs, I opted for brisket and sausage. I'm appalled at the price I was charged, $17.49 for the portions received, my husband had a 3 meat plate, he got the same portions. The brisket had no seasoning, if it was smoked it was smoked in an oven. The baked beans were pork and beans from the can, no bbq flavor, the white potato salad had the texture of food processed chicken salad, I could taste no potato but something that resembles sour cream and the BBQ sauce, was nothing more than tomato paste with ketchup tendency. The sausage was palatable but it was not smoked either. I could not eat this, it was horrible, I cannot return. I spoke with the cashier who said she was the manager, the young lady did not offer to comp me anything but stated she let someone know. I did not eat even the white bread, left it all on the table, my husband forced his down because we paid. The servers were very polite and the restaurant looked very clean, I don't know, maybe the regular cook took the holiday off.

I’ve been eating here off and on for over 25 years. The last 4 years it just gets worse and worse. The prices go way up and the quality goes way does. Today I ordered pulled pork TX tator ( my normal go-to meal) and it’s half the size and more the half of the meat was ALL FAT. I maybe ate 3-4 bites of meat. The potato is always Texas sized, now it’s a normal tiny size. Terrible and disappointing. I’m going to need this business to get it together. Do better.

Solo lunch today at Dan’s. I haven’t dined there since 2018 when I retired. Dan & crew were outstanding such a delicious meal. I had sliced brisket sandwich on a toasted wheat bun, mustard potato salad (my favorite absolutely amazing)with all the trimmings. Love the family friendly atmosphere, freshly prepared extensive menu with everyday specials. A Waco tradition most excellent establishment.

Uncle Dan’s is a good BBQ restaurant. The staff was great, the food was really good and there is plenty of indoor seating. There is a drive thru if you prefer that route and the service was really fast. I had the two meat plate with two sides. I had the chopped brisket and ribs with mashed potatoes and baked beans. I would say the ribs were really good and the rest was good.

I had not eaten at Uncle Dan's for quite a while and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was today. I tried the smoked turkey, and I will definitely order it again 😋

Very tasty Texas BBQ place that I'd highly recommend. One of our group had allergies and Uncle Dan's was able to confidently cater for them. The pulled pork and brisket were great and others rated the turkey and ribs very highly too. We enjoyed it so much we came back again during our few day trip to Waco. And I'll definitely visit again if in the area.

Red at aLoft said that this was his favorite BBQ, so we gave it a try & are so glad we did. The Prime Brisket, potato salad, ribs & deviled eggs were outstanding. I liked the regular BBQ sauce & our son liked the spicy. As a bonus, we watched the Texas football game. We had a wonderful meal & fabulous time.

Wasn’t the worst BBQ I’ve ever tasted. It just depends on what they are going for. If they’re trying to just be a fast service, get in get out, McDonalds version of BBQ than the quality matches. But if they’re aiming for top tier BBQ status….. idk. If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it. It’s better for everything to be fresh and run out than it is to make it through the day and have some to serve tomorrow.
