Hard Eight BBQ, The Colony TX

This restaurant has a unique set up. You order your meat right where they are grilling it so it is very smokey and hot. Then through a door you go through a lunch line like in school where you pick your sides and pay at the end. They have a spacious rustic inside dinning area and a covered outdoor picnic seating area with a stage.

Great food! It's pricey but with any good bbq around you know that's what you are gonna get. Service was good. Atmosphere was chill! I will be back.

The food is awesome! The atmosphere upon arrival is awesome! Then you get to the line. And you are waiting in a smoke filled, hot area. I have never experienced a bbq place where you wait in a very large line in the sweltering heat and smothering smoke. My eyes and lungs hurt. And to top it off I now stink of a smoke pit, sizzling fat, and meat. I would not recommend anyone to come here and eat inside. I would do my eating here through pick up only.

I have never had brisket that melts in your mouth like theirs! We also had pork ribs and the jalapeno sausage. You should definitely check this place out!

Best Bar B Que in the DFW Great Bar B Que but they never prepare well for the crowd on Holidays. They will stop taking to go orders 3 hours before closing. So I will never understand how a business turns down money. I guess they have enough in my business I always want to make more money. To continue I waited in line out the door for 35 mins to be told to go to the to go counter then for the to go counter to say they aren't taking any more orders and try to send me back in line after standing in line already for 35 minutes. After this experience I can't say I will return they really need to get their stuff together.

Great food, flavor, and portions. The creamy delicious melt in your mouth beans with a kick of spice are delightful. I ate the stuffed brisket baked potato and did not really need any toppings except barbecue sauce.

I thought being in Texas and going to a place like this especially when you first walk in you think you're about to experience some of the best barbecue you've ever had. Sadly it doesn't quite meet up to that at all. Nothing was really bad but nothing was really great either. Most everything was it did on the dry side and smiley overcooked in my opinion

What an experience! This is the type of second hand smoking I can get used to. The brisket is the best here. Really enjoyed the fried okra and the free beans. Will definitely return on my next trip back to the Dallas area.

Good meats! The briskets were legit though I found them a bit too salty. I didn’t care too much about the ribs. I have had much better ones in KC! I love their ribeye steak. That was delicious! This is a great place to take out of state visitor to:)

Food is horrible and I had to come back twice for items I paid for because they were mossing. Chicken was overcooked ribs were dry and the brisket was tough. My dad came from Arkansas to visit and he loves BBQ but that place was awful and too expensive because they sale by the pound and not by the plate. Save your money and time because the wait is 20 min for take out.

Greeted by gentleman that explained the ordering experience. Fast moving line takes you to pitmasters who slice your order directly from warming pits. Atmosphere submerses you into the bbq experience. We went on Friday night and even though busy we easily found seating. Patio area has lots of seating for large groups. All staff we encountered were super friendly. Plan to take out of town guests for fun night out.

Loved this place. The brisket and jalapeno sausage were my favorites but everything I tried was really good.

Delicious BBQ! It's going to be tough eating anywhere else because all the others pale in comparison. A little pricey but very much well worth the price

A+ brisket, steak, chicken and sausage.
The beans are in a class of their own.don’t leave without trying them.

Words can't explain how good this place is.
Has a nice country setting and feel, very clean.
The Food was Amazing!

The Venue is nice and clean, very hip sports styled bar inside with patio space. Worst Brisket i've ever had, dry, dry dryyyyyy and flavorless! On the flip side the pork ribs were really good. Their prices are outrageous though SO many better places to eat for half their price or less! I wont be going back the next time I visit Texas, I was sorely disappointed.

Great BBQ.good for lunches and catering any type of event. They always double triple check your order so you actually go home with everything you paid for!

Always good Better than the Salt Lick in Austin or anyone else. I have been all locations.
Very nice employees. Helpful
FyI walk in pick meat outside By THE PITS price by the weight then proceed inside for sides and drinks. " If your New" (Need to Know)

Awesome BBQ. Biggest downside is that you walk thru the smokers before you order, so if you are a business traveler, bring a bag to put your clothes or your entire luggage will smell of smoke.

Usually there is a line, but gives you some time to see what you want to order. It is easy to over-order so just watch how much you order as your bill will go up accordingly.

Love the brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeno poppers.

Food was good but it was a bit pricey. My wife got the prime rib which you can only get on weekends which was very good. I got the burnt ends which were salted a little too heavily. If you want good market style bbq Hutchins will knock your socks off.
