Risckys BAR-B-Q - (Near Fort Worth, TX)

5 /5 Mike Christian: Anytime we are going to eat out, no matter where we are, we always try to find a local spot to enjoy. This trip was no different. There were so many places to choose from but we decided on a little place just off Sundance Square, Risckys. We were quickly greeted and they immediately worked to get a table together for our big group. We only got a few pictures of food due to our hunger level and the size of our group. Aimee and the boys got the jalapeño-cheese sausage plate and that sausage was piled high. A couple people had hamburgers and another made a meal out of their Mac & cheese. Mike and few others had the all you can eat beef ribs. All the food was wonderful. Some of you know that I (Mike) stick to a strict carnivore lifestyle so finding a place that has all you can eat ribs that doesn’t use a sugar rub is like a dream come true. On top of that it was only $19.99 for the all you can eat beef ribs. I definitely got my moneys worth and they were very good. If you find yourself in Fort Worth make sure you check out Riscky’s. This is another local business to add to your list of places to support. 84 Turner LN Gainesville, TX Open 24/7 #christianfamilyfarms #farmlife #cff #shoplocal #datenightlocalstyle

4 /5 Zoe: Riskey’s Bar-B-Q in Fort Worth is a charming, cozy spot with a classic Texas feel. The walls lined with deer mounts give the restaurant an authentic local character, and the red-and-white checkered tablecloths make the space feel warm and inviting from the moment you sit down. Our server was wonderful, born and raised locally, friendly, and very helpful, which made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The barbecue was excellent. We came on our first night in Fort Worth, and although the atmosphere was quiet since we were likely the last customers of the evening, the food quality was truly impressive. The beef brisket was tender, full of flavor, and perfectly smoked, and their special house sauce added the perfect finish. Riskey’s delivers great barbecue, warm service, and an authentic Texas atmosphere. Highly recommended!

3 /5 TJ Smith: It wasnt as good as I thought it would be. The sauce lacked strong flavor. The Mac and cheese was mediocre; it had a lot of liquid in the bowl. The bread pudding was good. Frank was a good waiter.

2 /5 Dj S: I love bbq! I travel regularly and eat it all over the US. Sadly, Risky’s is simply not worth your money—even as the bbq is inexpensive. Don’t be fooled, go elsewhere. Of note, the atmosphere and location of Risky’s is perfect—meaning this restaurant has the foundation to be excellent, something many restaurants can’t fix with mere effort. Thus, I’m hopeful the restaurant takes this review and others and becomes successful. Food: I ordered the unlimited ribs. Truly, they were terrible. Over 3 separate deliveries, only a single rib had more than a mouthful of meat on the bone. And every rib was overcooked and tough. I’m not sure where they purchased this meat but it was subpar quality, presentation, and preparation. Service was inattentive—however friendly. This may be because I ordered ribs and service means more expense, however it was disheartening as it took 10 minutes each attempt to get 2 more ribs. Overall, there are numerous good restaurants in FTW that are better and many bbq joints just outside the city that are fantastic and a much better value. I’d consider visiting elsewhere.
