Linke’s BBQ Reviews

This is by far the best BBQ IN Wylie may be the best in Dallas area. Nice little Gem with a family type surrounding. They were friendly and very nice .The Ribs were great . Gave me a sample of meat and it was moist smoked to perfection I Love this place.

The best bbq around. You know it's good when don't need any sauce. This place simple kills it! You taste love in every bite. Moist brisket is the best around. Whether you prefer sliced or chopped it melts in your mouth. Ribs are truly amazing. I traveled the entire US Sampling BBQ and this place is number 1 for me. Definitely worth the drive! BBQ Heaven is located right here in Wylie TX.

Service was amazing. Best bbq I have put down in a while. Definitely the best spot around. If you like family owned businesses, this is the spot to check out. Clint and his father are great people and very friendly. Love this spot!

These guys are 1st class! Always so welcoming and family oriented. The BBQ is also the best in town!

Best BBQ in Wylie and probably the whole state of Texas, friendly folks and delicious food. We love the simple atmosphere and the smoked meats. Sometimes food is served lukewarm or is out, but it's a family owned business and it's part of the deal.

Here we go again ... This time with water on the side. Would it be better to take pics of the bones instead? Afterwards? For my taste, no barbecue sauce. The flavor of the ribs is second to none. It's all in how it's prepared before the spot opens its doors. Thank you all. I am your customer!

First off, the staff working here have to be the nicest people that I have ever met working at a restaurant. They take southern hospitality to the next level. They were so friendly and kind. We were greeted and offered multiple samples of the meat. We decided to get the brisket sandwich and German sausage. They gave us enough brisket for 3 people! It was delicious. The German sausage was tasty, too. Restaurant was clean. They had hot sauce, bbq sauce, pickles, jalapeños, and onions at their topping bar. We weren't too big on the sides( Mac n cheese and potato salad), but still overall such a great experience. I wouldn't say it was the best bbq, but it was really good and at a great price.

I first reviewed Linke's BBQ about three years ago, so I figured it was time to do another and bring it up to date. Last time my wife and I ate at Linke's we were doing a hardcore adherence to a Keto diet, so we did not try the side dishes. This time we did try them and I wanted to share an honest review of them. I'll do that below! For our meat choices during today's visit to Linke's, we had the Pork Spare Ribs, Moist Brisket, and German Sausage. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned! The meats really were EXCELLENT! If I would offer a suggestion to Linke's Smoke Master, I would have liked the serving temperature of the sausage to be hotter. It was warm, but hot food always tastes better! Even still, if this rating and review were solely on the meats served up at Linke's, it would be FIVE STARS * * * * * all day long!! For our side dishes, we shared Potato Salad, Coleslaw, Potato Casserole, and Baked Beans. Neither my wife, nor I cared for the Potato Salad, which to her was a bit watery and to me it just did not have a consistency that I prefer. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to say that our family recipe for Potato Salad, that has been in our family for more than 50 years, calls for a nice balance of mustard and mayonnaise with just a hint of mustard shining through and the potatoes to be whipped using a hand mixer. Of course, it has chopped onions, pickles, and boiled eggs. We judge all Potato Salads by it and few rarely come close. So, just judge for yourself here! I enjoyed the Coleslaw, my wife again did not care for it. The Coleslaw at Linke's has German spicy mustard or Dijon added in, so it has a bit of a kick in that direction. If you're not a fan of spicy mustard, best skip it. If you are a fan of it, you will probably also enjoy the Coleslaw, like I did! The only other issue I take with both the Potato Salad and Coleslaw is that they are pre-packaged and maintained in a cooler space for self service, which is fine but can open a business up to potentially unfair criticisms and suggestions that they are not fresh. I would have appreciated a date on the containers, as a degree of reassurance of freshness, by the business. I enjoyed both, the Baked Beans and Potato Casserole. Both were hot and fresh and tasted very good. My wife thought the Casserole was a little bland. I thought it would have benefited by more cheese or cheesy-creamy-saucy goodness! The Beans were definitely the Star of the "Side Dish Show!" The other points to mention are great Iced Tea, with no slime in the ice machine! And, the Pickles are great at Linke's! I'm not sure if they are homemade or not, but they taste like they are and they really leveled-up a dining experience! Restrooms were clean, but paper towels were out in the men's restroom. The rating I've given for Linke's would be a solid 4.5 Stars if it were possible, but in complete fairness to both business and consumer, I have to rate it Four Stars today, since I do believe there is room for improvement. I also must recognize that the effort obviously being put into this small business is profoundly noteworthy and definitely deserving of being tried out!! I cannot emphasize this enough! In Wylie, Linke's BBQ is the BEST option for sure and the quality of meats cooked at Linke's are on par with the biggest names in BBQ, in the DFW area! So, definitely give Linke's a try and you will not regret it!! Eat well. Be well. Cheers!
