Such a great meal! Definitely like this location better than Dallas. From the minute you walk to the entrance you see multiple smokers cooking the meat. You walk in and might be in line but it moves quick. The staff really knows their stuff and gives you portion recommendations. Sharon and Clay really have it there all. Clay notice it was just 3 of us and recommended 1-2 beef ribs an instead of the 3 we initially wanted. (This was great because we barely finished the 2). All the meats were seasoned to perfection and nothing was dry especially the turkey which I was bit hesitant but turned out to be yummy. Side again were really good, green beans were my fav. Even got some dessert and they were just what I expected sweet but not too heavy. I came around 12:30pm on a Sunday and there were plenty of seating. Staff was great at keeping the place tidy and ensuring a table was immediately cleaned. Even helping with getting to go utensils. Definitely will come again!

Wonderful service by Clay and Riley when we were there. It was around 5pm and it was such a good time to have a quiet dinner with just one or two other patrons. Ribs were off the bones easily, flavored beautifully and not the crazy sweet kind. Brisket was perfect. Jalapeño and cheese sausage has a crunch to the skin. All in all a wonderful meal and a great place to bring friends and family who are visiting Texas for the first time to try Bbq

Outstanding BBQ experience at Terry Black’s Barbecue in Fort Worth!

The service was excellent from start to finish — friendly, attentive, and very professional. The BBQ itself was absolutely phenomenal: perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, and packed with amazing flavor. You can really tell that there’s a lot of passion and craftsmanship behind the food.

A special shout-out to the two staff members preparing and serving the meat. They were extremely kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything, which made the experience even better.

All in all, an outstanding visit. If you’re in Fort Worth and looking for authentic Texas BBQ, Terry Black’s Barbecue is an absolute must. Highly recommended! 🔥🥩

I’m grateful for finding this place on google maps! What a find, this is a MUST for a truly Texas style BBQ. The brisket was incredible, sausage was delicious and the beef rib (very very very expensive) but worth it for sure! As you can see we ordered plenty as the food looked so good, definitely a highlight of our trip. The service was also top notch. Super friendly guys and very helpful.
Certainly can’t wait to return. Thank you!!!

The food is absolutely delicious! We got the family meal, which feeds 6. So much food, the creamy corn was my favorite, the Mac n cheese was a little watery for my liking, but good, and the potato salad was great!
The service is great! The outdoor worker is extremely attentive, friendly and goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. He come come by and offer to get what we needed, Wow he deserves this review. Would definitely be coming back here.

On our way home to Florida from North Dakota, we were craving bbq. All we kept thinking about was the delicious barbecue of Terry Black…so took a detour to Forth Worth! Didn’t disappoint…outstanding barbecue. While in the dining room met Pat, a staff member, who showed us true Texas hospitality! Thank you Pat! If you’re craving barbecue, and you’re in great state of Texas, go to Terry Black’s…in future travels we will definitely be making more detours for Terry Black’s.

I'll tell you that this is one of the best, if not the best place to serve smoked brisket and pork ribs. They are very tender and juicy. Their sides of Mac n cheese, sweet cream corn, and beans are savory. Warm corn bread and their dessert add to the mix to satisfaction. Burp!!

We love BBQ and Terry Black’s Barbecue is fantastic. The jalapeño sausage, brisket and ribs had great flavor. The sides were okay. I’m not too big on potato salad with big chunks of potato. The atmosphere is really nice. I love being able to smell barbecue when I walk up to the establishment. If we make it back to Ft. Worth we will definitely be stopping in.

There's BBQ joints, and then there's legendary BBQ establishments. Terry Black's fits in the latter category. Once you walk in it's a sensory overload. Loud, packed and chaotic. The sheer scale of it all truly is something to take in. Ordering is very unorthodox and yet I loved the process. There's an army of staff that were all very nice and professional who gave recommendations and helped us along. We will go back to explore more of the menu but what we tried was awesome. The ribs, turkey and burnt ends were excellently mouth wateringly delicious, as was all of the fixings. The sauces were all incredible and the portions for the money were more than enough. No doubt, we will be back!

An enjoyable experience. Service was really great. Food was good but not as great as I've had before. Brisket a bit tough and not as juicy, also perhaps the AC is a bit too strong indoors as the meat quality changes very quickly. Beef ribs were better than brisket. Sausage was great! Creamed corn was also really great. Worth a visit, especially for the convenience, but perhaps didn't live up to the hype, at least on the day I visited.

UPDATE: went back again and this time asked for the brisket to be sliced as thin as possible. Was much tastier. Would still definitely recommend for a tasty and not too prolonged meal. Also, the outdoor seating is great!
