Well we were going to go to terry blacks but decided to go here based on the reviews. It was delicious 😋 there was plenty of parking and seating, a small line to order. We were greeted by a nice man who explained how to order and answered any questions. It was pretty cute inside. Generous portions for sides. The Mac n cheese was creamy, not dry and good! The twice baked potato salad was good, but it needs a little season. The beans had a vinegar-y base and I loved them. The onion rings were good, almost like a funnel cake batter. The brisket was juicy and the bacon burnt ends were like flavor bombs. They had live music outside! Sorry...but my banana pudding is better...

As a 7th Generation Texan who has tried Brisket nearly everywhere recommended in DFW, I can honestly say Heim had the best brisket I've ever had!!
It was super soft, fat melting in my mouth, and the bark had an amazing seasoning that was basically perfect!
I love making brisket myself, but Heim puts me and everyone else to shame!!

The beef rib was super soft and very flavorful!! On par with Terry Blacks - maybe better?? 9.8/10
The jalapeno cheese sausage was recommended by the cashier, it was ok, nothing amazing. The huge sandwich had brisket, sausage and burnt ends (pretty good, 7.5 on flavor, 10 on soft melt-in-your-mouth.)
Potato salad was chunky with large ingredients, but not super flavor, about 6.5/10. Mac&cheese was good, about 8/10. Brownies had a weird ingredient and didn't taste right at all (almost like an alcohol or liquor flavor) 1.5/10. The fries are NOT homemade, ore ida style. 2/10.

I love that they sell the seasonings, and brought some home for my future brisket too.

Awesome surprise on the brisket. I'll be back for a few pounds often!!

Heim Barbecue on the River is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you pull in, you’ll notice there is tons of parking available—huge plus! The building itself is large and inviting, with plenty of seating both inside and out. They even have a spacious covered patio and an outdoor open play area where you can bring your dog or let your kids run around while you enjoy your meal. It’s the perfect setup for families, friends, and anyone who just wants to relax and enjoy some incredible BBQ.

Now, let’s talk about the food… I ordered the 3-meat plate with brisket, sausage, and their legendary bacon burnt ends. The brisket was unbelievably juicy and tender—it literally fell apart with the slightest pull. The bacon burnt ends? A flavor explosion. It’s like a party in your mouth with every bite! The sausage was packed with flavor, and the mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. Every single item on my plate was a hit.

The environment is spacious, clean, and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better.

I can’t recommend Heim Barbecue enough—whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, you’ll walk away happy. This place is a true gem, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Do yourself a favor and go. And yes, get the bacon burnt ends—you’ll thank me later. 😋

The food was good. Bacon burnt ends are always fantastic here. The potato skins were not what I expected. They were presented in a mound of potatoes, cheese and meat. They were quite messy but flavorful. The three meat platter was good with nice sized portions of meat. The only thing I would have changed was sitting outside. The weather was beautiful but the flies were horrible.

Nice place for large groups. Only positive .

I was disappointed with the food. The onion rings they gave me were old and dripping wet with cold oil. Better going to Whataburger for some.

Got my daughter a burger and asked for no jam on it . They made it with the jam and I kindly asked for remake since the jam has juices and it saturated the buns . Instead they just wiped the jam off and added three extra cheese slice (cold) but still left residual jam with juices .

Found this BBQ by seeing them Featured on Meat Church YouTube show called Pitt Stops with Matt Pitman. Needless to say this BBQ did not disappoint. The Brisket is phenomenal and the Bacon burnt ends are amazing. From the Menu to the staff to the cobbler and atmosphere this stop is a home run! We are not local but it was worth the drive.

Disappointed in my experience at Heim today.

The good: Dante greeted me when entering the restaurant, and took my order. He was pleasant and patient with my order and question. Stellar at his job. Even gave recommendations. All the other staff were smiling and friendly. Could ask for a better staff service.

The bad. The brisket I had at him today was on the bottom of the scale of Brisket. Which is surprising, usually love the brisket. But today it was the driest meat I’ve ever had a BBQ joint. The slaw was watery and unpleasant. The ends were great as usual and the Mac was good. But I am disappointed in the food as a whole. Not a great experience. From now on I will be going to terry blacks for my BBQ lunch.

Oh my Terry Black‘s barbecue doesn’t have anything on this place. The staff is incredible. The food is wonderful. The barbecue is over-the-top fabulous probably the best I’ve had in years and years and the pricing is perfect so many other restaurants overcharged for their meats and their sides this place Has an incredible value they give you tons of food and they have so many wonderful options with an A bar to enjoy a cocktail along with your dinner or lunch Catering from this place has to be incredible. I am now a lifelong customer. I was referred by many many friends finally made it over here. I live very close and I am happy. I did the girl who took our order whose name is on. The receipt is absolutely incredible and help me Smart decisions when ordering nothing like the other place that I referenced at the top of the page where they heard you through like a bunch of cattle get your money and actually probably don’t really give a damn if you’re happy or not I wasn’t impressed with Terry Black and will never go back especially after finding this wonderful place that all my friends say is incredible. They were right.
