   Ein sehr spezielles Restaurant. Ein Teil der Speisen gab es nicht mehr die waren aus. Aber was es gab war sehr gut und sehr günstig.

   Fatty brisket. Tough ribs. Not much else to say.

   I made a reservation for 10 a month before the event. I arrive on time and they tell me to sit anywhere. There are no tables where 10 people can sit so we had to put 2 tables together ourselves. It wasn't a big problem but they acted like they didn't even acknowledge our reservation and this was an event very important to me. I had people arrive and not get asked what they would like to drink for 10+ mins and same for refills. This is not the wait-staffs fault, they let me know that they only had 2 waiters for the entire yard full of people (could be call-outs or people quitting). I am not recommending Ferris Wheelers if you are wanting to make a reservation for a large group, but I would recommend if you are just going for lunch/dinner.

   The food was delicious but the dining room was empty when we arrived, so I can’t really speak to the ambiance.

   My brother came to Dallas for a conference and I chose Ferris Wheelers as the first place to take him for his first time in Texas. This place did not disappoint! We arrived at 11am sharp and there were already people waiting! The service was quick and friendly and the food was amazing! We went on Wednesday so the special was burnt ends which were perfect! We also ordered brisket (also delicious and so tender) and for sides the potato salad and mac and cheese! So glad we came and will definitely be back!

    Fun day..had 17 people our waiter was very nice. He was very busy so refills were not super fast but cannot really blame him. Was our first visit and we will go again. The outside area is fitted for concerts in Summer that would be nice. Ferris Wheel inoperable and still shows online to be functional wanted pics for unique experience but overall will eat there again.

    We had a group of 19, including clients from five states. My reservation was only for ten and your staff did an incredible job of making everything work out for a large group. Jalen and your staff are to be commended for their outstanding service and great attitudes, and the food was terrific as well.

    We came there hoping to ride the Ferris Wheel to find out it is no longer operational. Would be nice if that was stated on their website and if it is already, more prominently. That aside, a very cool place with good food. My ribs were excellent, my wife’s brisket was ok but nothing special. The corn dogs were very good too. Overall a great place to hang out

    Realy wanted to like this spot. Was excited to experience the outdoor patio and ambiance created by the lights at ferris wheel, however the service and food was shockingly bad, and a huge let down. Reserved a spot outside, arrived and asked about the process of ordering from the team inside - directed to go out back, and "Rojo" would take care of us.... despite us actually taking seats at the bar, with loads of space, we were COMPLETELY ignored, and I mean "completely" - not even eye contact to acknowledge us!..... After watching people getting served around us, trying to flag him down, and still being ignored, I decided on a different tactic: went inside, ordered, received a number, and eventually got my food delivered to me out back! Food: blah, and cold! Will not go back - real pity and a big disappointment

    The food was fantastic, the waitress however forgot about us on a few drinks and didn't pop by very often. A 20% tip was added to our bill even though the service wasn't that great for the 5 of us.

    We arrived when they were short two servers who had called in, but the staff who took care of us were all excellent. Everyone at our table went for two meat with ribs and brisket. The ribs were good, but the brisket was exceptional. This was a perfect stop for what we were looking for that night.

    We came to town for the NASCAR race and wanted some BBQ while in Texas. Though the idea seemed great with the ferris wheel and live band in back with outdoor seating, the food was not great. Maybe a 3 out of 10. Probably the worst BBQ I’ve ever had. My friend got a beef brisket sandwich and 30% of the meat on her sandwich was pure fat. The BBQ baked bean were mushy. The BBQ sauce was thin and watery. Tables were very dirty as well. VERY DISAPPOINTED to say the least. To top it off, we had to pay $10.00 to valet in their tiny parking lot. Do not recommend. Not sure how they have 4.8 out of 5 when we complained, they just said they were sorry. And we’re in no way going to refund any money. Ironically the table next to us complained as well so it wasn’t just us.

    Fun atmosphere if the weather is nice outdoors. BBQ was way to spicy for me with lots of jalapeño undertones. I did not even use their spicy sauce. Shame to ruin such good looking BBQ meat.

    We really enjoyed our lunch at Ferris Wheelers. The staff was amazing and friendly and we even met the owners, super nice guys. The food was sooooo good!! When you go, be sure to get the mac & cheese (the pasta is ferris wheel shaped :) ) and the fried okra was the best I've ever had.

    This was my first time visiting the restaurant. Sat inside because it was a humid day, but lots of people were in the backyard area. The service was very good; friendly staff. We tried the Full Ride, so we could sample all the meats. It's meant for 4-6 people, and there were only 3 of us, so we had a lot to take home. The meat was phenomenal (so tender and flavorful). I cannot say the same for the sides. They're pricey and not worth the money, in my opinion. They were room temperature and the mac & cheese had no cheese flavor. Because it's a BBQ place, and their meats are outstanding, I gave them 4 stars.
