Hard Eight Pit BBQ, The Colony Reviews

  • Wendy W

It sure was an experience! Many people in line were taking pictures and gawking at the the food being cooked like tourist might at the sight of rare objects in a museum. The good thing is there’s not a very, long wait as you basically serve yourself somewhat cafeteria style. You can see the meats as they are cooked and pick up most sides yourself. So, a long line moves quickly. Then you seat yourself. Good thing we noticed the outdoor covered deck which wasn’t too crowded; some of our group claimed a long, wooden table with benches on both sides; and there was still plenty of tables and benches left. This is around 7:30 on a Saturday evening. Food was fresh and rated “pretty good” by all in our large party. The onion rings were delicious as was the brisket and chicken which I personally enjoyed. The view from the porch with big, wide open windows was amazing. See, the red trees outside the venue? I called the lone tree, a plain-old-red tree in Plano; later, I realized Hard Eight Pit is in Colony, TX not Plano.

Hard Eight Pit BBQ provides outstanding BBQ and smoked meats. I must have for any bbq enthusiast. Come hungry. Great atmosphere and friendly people. We visited this location to fuel up before a day of shopping near by. The two of us split a few slices of brisket, a few ribs, sausage and a couple sides. Out the door was around $60 and we were not hungry for hours.

We had a great experience at Hard Eight today. The BBQ chicken was moist and had a good smokey flavor. The brisket was moist, tender, and full of flavor. Finally, the pork ribs were tender and delicious. The staff is amazingly accommodating polite and professional. We will be back soon
