Reviews For Bodacious Bar-B-Q Arlington

I went to Arlington to look at a potential employer. After looking them over I looked for somewhere to eat and Bodacious came up on Google maps. They had a special on sloppy Joe so I got two and some deviled eggs. When I reached the cashier I didn't have my wallet on me. So I ran out to my car where I couldn't find it either. I went in to apologize and they gave me my meal free. I'll definitely be back if I get the job and will send them the money if I don't. PS. The sloppy Joe's were classic just spicy enough and the deviled eggs were delicious. ken

The best BBQ place I have ever been to and I've been to many in my 15 years in the DFW area. Restaurant is very clean, the folks very nice, the food, especially the brisket is out of this world spectacular Cooked to absolute perfection I loved that they had Christian music playing on the radio They also had various desserts and bottled drinks as well as fountain drinks. I am so thankful & grateful hubby and I came across this gem of a restaurant in our travels today. We will certainly be back!

I just moved to Arlington and have been trying the barbecue places in the area. Bodacious is going to be my go-to smokehouse! The brisket is tender and very tasty. The pork ribs fall off the bone and are absolutely fantastic! The sides are very diverse and the sweet tea is just right. The service is very quick and friendly.

Haven't been here in at least 10 years; Today I decided to try something different for lunch than the go-to places every week. I've been to Bodacious many times and today I was the first one here. The two women working were very nice, the place still looks the same, and the food was just awesome. I had the brisket and ribs with Mac and cheese as sides. Awesome place, great food and people! Check em out!

When I walked in, the smell of the amazing food brought me back to my daddy backyard, and oh my goodness, the beans were so amazing I had to buy extra to bring home
