10 reviews for Randy White's Hall of Fame Bbq & Grill
I'm really shocked at the one-star reviews here (other than the food poisoning one, I guess. That would not be good.) I'm not a BBQ expert but I am very picky about my good and BBQ places often use lower quality meats and drown it in sauce to mask that. This was absolutely not the case here.
I got in line and was all ready to order the chicken when I saw the guy "carving" the brisket for the person in front of me. I use quotes here because the meat didn't need to be carved, it just fell right off the slab. Awed, I ordered that instead and loved it. No knife needed.
The choice of sides is deep and they were good but not necessarily the best I've ever had. It was excusable because of the brisket, my daughter's ribs, and the amount of free food they offer. Yeah, free!
Texas toast, rolls, cornbread, butter or honey to go with those, ice cream, chocolate sauce and sprinkles for the ice cream, and peach cobbler - all free!
The best brisket I've ever had and the amount of free stuff you can pile on made this a five star choice.

Note to Randy: NO BUG SPRAY in my food please!! We were big fans of the place until last September when we went for an early dinner. After getting our food and sitting down, we saw, yes SAW, one of the line guys spraying Hot Shot bug spray into the air, above the food line. He even sprayed it across the line, aiming at one of the other staff and laughing. I got up, went to the line, and he HID THE CAN! But I saw it as it happened! I told the manager, who kind of shrugged it off. We left our untouched food on the table; we were so disgusted. So if you like to consume bug spray, by all means, stop right in.
Note to the Seattleite: the "cafeteria like line" is how many barbecue restaurants serve here in the BBQ capital.
I loves me some Q, and I used to love RW's, but I'll never go back.
When I fly in from California, we always eat BBQ. I would say Dallas still needs a Famous Dave's, but since they don't, this and Red, Hot and Blue hit the spot. This is a VERY casual place with picnic table style seating. It's quick and delicious.
Oh my... It's our own damn faults for not taking the advice our host and going to this place for BBQ yesterday afternoon. He'd offered up a handful of decent restaurants in the area, but 'Dangnabit, WE WANTED MEAT' or just some or just some BBQ and the closest thing in the proximity was Randy White's. We gave it a go.
We walked in and found a giant 'high school looking' cafeteria line to the right. Trays and 'help yourself' cups with all kinds o' sides. Choose a meat add some sides. It's pretty simple. I had some ribs, some rice, and potatoes. The lunch special was $5, but because they were out of ribs for the special (yet they still were able to give me ribs... WTFBBQ???) it was $13! This is WAY more than I paid at RoRo (Seattle Represent!) a few weeks back.
As you make your way to your picnic table, there's the option to grab a soda, some biscuits, cornbread, soft serve, and cobbler. As much as you want, actually. This would have been redeeming if every item I just stated (besides the soft serve and the soda) wasn't sitting under a heat lamp.
My ribs were dry and lackluster. The rice and beef brisket sandwich were okay. The rolls were fine... I just wanted to be wowed. I wasn't.
The decor was slightly redeeming. All kinds of saddles and skulls, rope and football jerseys (of course!) were strewn about in an almost thought out fashion. It's decor reminds me of a very rustic Claim Jumper.
Shame on you, Randy White! This Seattleite wants her $$$ back and she is NOT impressed!

Ate here a few days before Thanksgiving last year because my husband is a Cowboys fan. Got food poisoning and was sick the rest of the week. The food tasted fine, not great, but not terrible. A few hours after I ate there I was violently ill. I requested that if I am ever that sick again that I want to be put down because it was hell. The next morning I had to endure a three hour plane ride home in that condition. Not fun my friends.
Tried this place because we had a coupon in the Entertainment book. Yes, I have no shame in being a cheapy. Pleasantly surprised about the quality of the BBQ and sides. Mac N Cheese was subpar. The coolest thing about the place was the open bar on the rolls, cornbread, toppings, and desert. Yes, coblers and ice cream were free of charge. i will come back with my last coupon. :)

Randy Whites has GREAT catfish - however, their tarter sauce is awful - I have started getting take out - just so I can use my own tarter sauce. It's so full of pickles that - that is all you can taste. The BBQ chicken is also very good - I've been when they have had entertainment. It's a little loud for such a small place, but it's a great atmosphere.
Nasty food don't waste your money here.

This is a good BBQ place. It was better in the old location, but good none the less. There are days that are better than others. I probably stop in at least once or twice a month. I am a big fan of the Manster sandwich. At off times, it is not surprising to run into Randy eating there too.
I went here expecting world class BBQ. I got mediocre at best and down right bad. Even the corn on the cob was bad.
