Best Barbecue Restaurants in Irving

This has become our go to “Date Night” place in Dallas. It’s affordable while still giving you the service, food and experience you want. The quality is fantastic, the cocktails are delicious (I suggest the Dee’s Martini, it tastes like a peach ring), and the service is always wonderful!

I come to Niwa weekly and there’s a reason I always keep coming back! Joe, Steven, Alex and Angel are always wonderful and pay close attention to my allergies. The food is fantastic and not overpriced. Jimmy has stopped by my table a few times on separate occasions and is always an absolute gem to talk to. The food, staff and ambiance are 1000/10 and I will always recommend this place to everyone I know! If you can’t make up your mind when looking at the menu a few of my favorites are the filet, hanger steak, 44 farms short rib, pork jowl, zucchini, mushroom medley, ajitama eggs, wagyu deviled eggs and you can’t leave without getting a bag of the spicy OG Wagyu Boyz beef jerky, it is to die for!

Small table if you have 5. Hard to reach the fire for everyone.

The whiskey dinner at Maple Landing was remarkable in many ways. The whiskeys presented were introduced and explained by the provider. The quality was superb. The food was exceptional, always interesting and artistically presented. Again, explanations were provided with each course, regarding the unique ingredients and methods of preparation. I can't wait till their next whiskey dinner event. A real gourmet treat!

Great variety and availability. Staff was very helpful, very attentive, and friendly. Food was delicious and we definitely enjoyed our experience. We will definitely be back.
