Pros: Filling platters, good prices, nice service, good aura
Cons: Inconsistent menu options, music might be cool, more table space could help also
The Bottom Line: BBQ is the place if you're starving, have little money, and don't want a stuffy atmosphere. Don't expect to finish a platter and appetizer yourself, barely with two people.

| baby.baby's Full Review: Dallas BBQ - East Village II |
Just walk by this place and you smell the sauces and the meat, you're stomach cries out to you. You see plates full of wings, ribs, big chickens, fries, salads, fajitas, and steaming bowls of chili. A parent goes in on their way home from work and picks up a ready-to-eat chicken for 4.99 that entices your taste buds. The prices are reasonable especially for the amount and quality of the food you get.
Seating is inside or outside, although the space is a little tight at spots. The bathrooms are well-kept and provide relief from the heat for a few minutes when it's hot outside. The food comes out relatively quick and wait staff aren't continuously coming by as if to make you leave. It's a very relaxed, but fun environment.
The menu, although only 1/3 the size of a place mat, has a lot to offer. People all around you are ordering all types of things, but you've ordered a hearty platter of your own. You realize that you you want to come back again and try that. The staff greeted you at the front door, maybe it was because they are so busy, but the service was fast, no waiting in long lines when you're already starving.
Everyone seems to know what's going on. "You are the one who order the fajitas," they ask politely, and although they didn't take the order, they are correct. Water is offered a few times during your visit, also brought to you in bulk at the beginning of your meal is a stack of napkins with enough wet naps to go around your table. Everything's nice and warm, not over or under-cooked.
Although you may not find the same thing on the menu next time, or the same thing may come prepared slightly different, everything is still delicious and BBQ still has lots to offer and new things to try next time you go back.
