Best WLM Reviews

Place was great to look at. Big but though the food really needs improvement. Dickies bbq tastes better. They need to change the type of wood for smoking. The beans need the pepper and salt ratio changed. The okra was to salty. I had to take a bite of okra then beans to even out the salt in my mouth. Glad I tried it. But won't be back.
Went on Sunday and got the beef ribs. Very tender. Also got the turkey. Wonderful flavor and you can cut it with a fork. Great selection of sides and the buttermilk pie is great. Always try to go here when in The Colony.
My hotel was almost beside ti's place. The food was more like a 4.5. I ate here several times, I'll try to include all pictures I have.
Brisket was moist a d very good
The sausage was very good, I love sausage
Their ribs are very good
The steak I had on the visit was between good and very good. I expected more from it
Love that corn
I came here for a rehearsal dinner, which may have changed things from the normal experience. The meal was from a smorgasbord/buffet style. Everything was good, but not great. The brisket was a little dry. By no means was anything bad, but I wasn't wowed by anything either. It may be different if you order from the front, individually, but I've never done that. I'll have to come back and try it that way. Good, but not among the best local bbq places I've been.
Underwhelming for the price. The ribs lacked flavor, they were moist but realistically just salted meat. Sweet potato fries tasted undercooked, The cream corn is nothing special I wouldn't waste your money buying it. The jalapeno sausage was good, the voice brisket was actually moist and tasted fine. Overall I would not return, I don't think it's worth the money. The staff is friendly but it's like a Rudy's. Although they do give you free pinto beans if you dine in. They do however have a five-star sink system in their bathrooms.
We visited Hard Eight Pit BBQ on a Sunday evening and although there was a bit of a line, it was worth the wait. The food was delicious and had fantastic flavors.
The jalapeño sausage was very tasty, and the poppers were a hit with our group. I also really enjoyed the mac and cheese and jalapeno cream corn were. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I would definitely visit again.
this is a fun BBQ spot that is a but derivative, but does deliver. I agree, with other comments, get the steak and the cobbler. the pulled pork was stand out. smoked sausage was excellent, bacon wrapped shrimp unremarkable, Brisket and ribs were a bit dry, and I can't say I even bothered with the sides. the sauces were just ok.
the service was kind, quick and attentive.
I enjoyed the large airy space, casual vibe, and throw back cafeteria style set up that is typical of so many Texas bbq joints. the giant pits are noteworthy and it is clear the team works hard.
there are a wealth of great options for BBQ in the Dallas area. While not the best by any stretch, it does not disappoint for Frisco. Hard Eight is of reasonable value, and fun experience. Skip the bar, focus on the steak. Banana pudding is always a win.
Best pulled pork I've ever had! The smoked sausage is outstanding as well.
The jalapeno sausage was light on the smoke flavor, presumably to not be over powering with the jalapenos. The brisket was also light on the smoke flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the meats, and the environment and friendly service rounded out a great experience.
