Nice atmosphere. Ordered 3 meat combo. Brisket was excellent, cat fish was good, beef ribs had very little meat on them and were not good. My waiter refilled my soda but never asked how my meal was otherwise I would have mentioned the beef ribs were not good. BBQ sauce was also excellent as was the bread pudding for dessert.

Can just say delicious brisket. Also if you order the steak tips half of the plate is just fried fat. Very tasty still but half fat and half meat brisket. About $14 bucks. Then don't get the ribs not horrible but taste like if it was sitting out underneath a lamp all day. Fast seating and friendly staff. Mac and cheese, potatoes really all the the sides delicious. Tasty tacos. I'll be back again.

I got the all you can eat beef ribs and they were awesome! Fatty and juicy with a great smoky flavor just like I like them! The potato salad was also really good, and we got stuffed jalapeños that were perfect. I will come back again for sure. This is my new favorite rib place!

Absolutely love this restaurant! We are from Colorado, but travel most weekends. We are always looking for the best local restaurants. Hands down, Riscky's is our favorite in Ft. Worth. Today we visited Riscky's for the 3rd time in 2 years. The food is good ole down-home fare. The vibe is quintessential Texas 🇨🇱🐄🤠 Our server today was Hugo - his attentiveness & kindness made for the most enjoyable evening! .. I must add that the pecan pie 🥧 was surprisingly scrumptious! 😋 We will be back!

Pretty delicious stop when in downtown. Service and food was quick and their desserts were great too. Gotta get the bread pudding.

The waitress who took care of me was the sweetest woman ever. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and so close to the heart of Fort Worth Downtown. I got a basket item, which was on the smaller portion of things and only good if you're not hungry. It tasted okay, I think I should have tried a sampler to get a better understanding of their bbq. However, the brisket was still tender and I enjoyed it.

This place lacks attention to detail. The lemon wedge in my ice water still had the sticker on it. My side salad had plastic wrap stuck to the plate from being stored in the fridge. My brisket tacos had a mountain of fried onions strings on top, so many in fact that I couldn't find the brisket. So I removed most of them and the tacos were fine, the brisket was good but nothing extraordinary. My mom's pulled pork plate featured a giant glob of inedible fat. Service was great though, our server checked in often. Wouldn't visit again.

After going to see stand-up comedy we just started wandering around looking for somewhere to eat. It was getting late. We chose Riscky's and it was a great first experience. There were very few people there. Caesar, a super friendly server, took care of us. Love the western vibe, especially the decorative tin ceiling tiles. Even the tables are neat looking because of how they've been worn from so many arms and plates being on it. I had a pulled pork sandwich and my boyfriend had a brisket sandwich. The meat was amazing! Such a perfect smoked flavor. I liked that they gave us barbecue sauce on the side so that we could add how much we wanted (unique sauce). The macaroni and the fried okra were average but still tasty. Lots of food options and several side options. Reasonable pricing. The Texas tea cocktail is the bomb! Definitely a place well be returning to.

Went with my husband and we both got the all you can eat beef ribs. They were very good. They are so big we could only eat a few extra, but our server Halee brought everything out in a timely manner, kept our drinks full and was very friendly. We will definitely be back.

Heather was absolutely amazing! She had excellent recommendations on beer and food. I would highly recommend! We split the brisket sandwich which was the perfect amount of food.

This place is good for all-you-can-eat BBQ, but I wouldn’t come here for enjoying taste and texture. I tried the steak and fries and it was good enough, but nothing special. I feel like the appetizers might be better than the main dishes. But I’m also from Houston so not sure if I’m biased.

Food was generous in portion and tasty. Has jalapeño cheddar smoked sausage platter. Came with choice of 3 sides. Nice outdoor and indoor seating options.

Catfish was good. Ribs were not hot (heat). The sides were not as flavorful as I hoped. Fried okra needed to be cooked longer for my taste. The fried onion strips were very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. The ratings is for the food.

Super chainy vibes from this BBQ joint and the food confirms. Very welcoming hostess and attentive waitress. Lauren was great and laughed our horrible jokes. Burnt ends and the bites were good starters. The brisket was not ideal. The sausage was okay, and the brisket was mediocre. Sides were not memorable.

My wife said to give a 1 star, but because we did take out, there are a lot of factors Riscky can't control so I give it a 2 star. Having said that I probably won't come again at least for pickup order. The first problem I was I ordered online at home and was told an estimated time which I came on time, but had to wait 20 mins extra. I get it that its an estimate but it made me be a little late picking up my wife. We ordered the shrimp platter and the beef ribs and chopped brisket. The shrimp was rubbery and had a weird off flavor. the ribs was chewy. brisket was more like mashed brisket. some of the sides were ok (coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad). The quantity of food is a good amount, but the quality and the price isn't. I would say overall we had a poor experience.

We went there on friend's advice. It was a Monday so they were not busy, which was nice. Our hostess was fantastic, very attentive and friendly. We ordered the brisket platter and the brisket tacos. The brisket on the platter was a little more fatter than our liking, but the brisket tacos were great. Fries were outstanding.

I got a pulled pork sandwich and it was good nothing spectacular. It comes with one barbecue sauce flavor. I was not impressed by the potato salad. I’ll still come again to try some of their other barbecue in the future. The staff was extremely friendly and the bathrooms were well-kept especially since I was there on a very busy day

Tried the 3 meats platter today. 4 pieces of pork ribs, 2 cat fish fillets and 2 slices of brisket with sides of red beans, mac n cheese and fried okra, for $28. The brisket was too dry and too little. The baked cat fish was drier and leathery. The ribs were okay. The best part of this pricey thing was the sides. Vanilla choco lava cake dessert was good. One platter, 2 sodas and a dessert for $60. Not happy. Service was good.

Atmosphere was great! Service was pretty good. Didn’t care much for the food especially the sides but also the meat. I had brisket and ribs. It was not that great to me. I also tried to cover it with barbecue sauce because it cost a little too much to throw away, but they only have one barbecue sauce, which was mediocre as well. My sides were macaroni and green beans. They were still sitting on the plate when I left out of there. I can imagine you go here if you just want a fun night with friends.

Didn’t get the same experience those negatives reviews detailed, went on a quiet Monday night and they happily served a second plate of like 5 delicious ribs ! Didn’t have room to ask for more and took leftovers home. Delicioussss

Relaxed environment will country Xmas music, really good food (if only my English stomach had more capacity ) super speedy service , wonderful flavours … thanks to Sam for warm friendly service.

First off I really enjoy the downtown Fort Worth atmosphere. This city is very nice, not overcrowded during the week. And has lots of great restaurants. Riscky’s was a very nice location which had spacious inside dining. And also had outside dining tables as well. Kinda wish we would have ate outside to enjoy all the city lights and tall buldings at night. Food here was very delicious, the appetizers were tasty Ex: fried pickles, fried corn, fried onion strings. And I personally tried the southwest salad which was also very delicious and something I had never tried on a salad before. Staff was super friendly and new how to take care of a table. Will definitely try this place again on my next visit to ft. Worth.

We couldn't find a restaurant that would seat 25 people...UNTIL RISKY'S!! I called in hopes it was possible and Darryl said he would MAKE IT HAPPEN!! My daughter turned 14 today and Risky's made her celebration possible. The wait staff was so attentive and EVERYONE was so kind and polite. From the host to manager we were treated like kings. Even after we added a late family to our party. There was no change in service and our family and friends enjoyed themselves. The food did not disappoint. The burnt ends were to die for and the Mesquite shrimp is enough food to share. I am beyond grateful and COMPLETELY SATISFIED with everything from tonight. You really moved mountains for my baby girl. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Very reasonable menu pricing. Good food! Check the bar area seating availability! We were there on a Saturday around 12:30pm which was one of the peak busy times for this restaurant and the area. There was a wait time of about 30 minutes for a table. The host by the stand outside of the restaurant wasn’t really helpful. He was a bit slow on taking people's info and communicating the waiting and what to expect next. We decided to check out the bar areas to see if there were any open seats or tables available. We found out there were 4 tables (each can seat 4 people) and 3 of them were available, so we went back to the host to cancel our table with him and just sat at the bar area. Wish the host would tell people about this info and not just leave those tables open while there was a wait line for 30+ minutes. The bartender who served us was very professional and quick. We got our drink and food orders taken and received them within a very reasonable timeframe. The portions were very generous. An order of Risckey's Famous Combo Full Smoker (3 meats - $19.99) has plenty of food to share for two people. One of the meats we picked was beef rib, and we received 3 pieces. With just this amount of beef ribs, if you go to other similar restaurants, you would probably already be paying over $20 just for these 3 beef ribs (or the equivalent amount of meat); let alone we also got two other meats and 3 side items. They also have AYCE (All you can eat) beef ribs for $14.99 for very hungry guests! Overall, other than the issue with the host, we had a great dining experience and would definitely recommend Riscky's to anyone visiting the area!

Food was delicious like always. The best beef ribs in town. The wait not bad. We were seated with in 20 minutes. Always enjoy taking a trip to the Stockyards❤
