Hard Eight Bbq - Burleson

Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at SNDTRAVELS and Eat Well Travel Often So, if you want to open a restaurant with the most possible competition per square mile, open a BBQ joint in Texas. Not only is there one on every other corner but in a high percentage of gas stations. Then, of course, we all have smokers in our backyards and think we do it best. You better be good. So today, I tried somewhere new for me. Hard-eight BBQ in Burleson, Texas. This is a no frills service were you walk up to the pitmaster and order by the pound only. No plated or combo meals; it's a la carte. There are complimentary homemade self-serve red beans that were very good. I didn't try any other sides. My meat choices were the brisket, ribs and regular sausage. All of the meats were very good with just the right amount of smoke. The brisket and ribs were both tender and the flavor was great. I won't say it was the best, as that's a tough decision, but certainly in the upper tier of local flavors. Recommended .

This place is fantastic! Stopped here after landing on our way to the office and was very impressed! When I’m back in town I will for sure come back! I got the stuffed potato w/ ham and a chicken popper it was $27 for two people with stuffed potatoes, a chicken popper each, and drinks.

My husband and I stopped in here to pick up dinner on our way home. The girl at the to-go counter seemed put out by having to do her job; not very friendly and very short with us. While we waited for our food we saw several employees, all of them saw us but never said hi or even smiled. We finally got home with our food only to find that it was lacking severely. The brisket was tough and dry. The potato salad tasted like a big onion. And we are reluctant to even try the cobbler. Needless to say we will never return to Hard Eight again. Jambo’s BBQ is a million times better and we will stick to them from now on. We thought we would try a new place……our mistake.

Hard Eight never disappoints. I'm NOT a huge BBQ fan, but I eat one of their 8oz ribeyes once a week! Perfectly cooked. Perfectly seasoned. And I like em rare!The service is ALWAYS on point and I'm always welcomed with a smile!

Best bbq I ever had in my life!Come hungry , you will want one of each.First time here and on purpose I didn’t eat all day so I could come to this joint. It was SO worth the wait.No waiting on a Tuesday at the restaurant.Food was simply delicious!!!
