Not sure what happened to this place but the chopped sandwiches have looked like this the last two times. There are definitely better BBQ options in Azle.

I usually stop here on weekdays after work and pick up their 5 chopped sandwiches for $5. Today, Saturday the servings we're tiny. Also way to much cinnamon in sauce. Some days you can't taste it but sometimes it way overpowering. Their sauce is my only negative about the food. Service is usually fast and personable.

I love their bbq but I was really disappointed the last two times I ordered the 5 for 5 bbq sandwiches. The last time there was a tablespoon of meat on each sandwich and the bread was awful, hard and had white spots on them. I thought they were made a week prior. I asked for pickles and onions on the side and did not receive that either not that it mattered I couldn’t eat the sandwiches anyway. I will go back for other items on the menu but I will not order that again.

Good food. Savannah and Sam waitresses are disrespectful as hell. Does not deserve the job that they have. 05/2018 Update! Just tried getting food tonight, and Savannah you know the rude waitress right? Another encounter with her, because I gave her a bad review along with her sister on here! Turns out she didn't like that because she didn't like being "exploited". Do a better job if you do not want to be "exploited" especially by your name. This is a review, if you do not like being "exploited" try a better job at working next time instead of being rude to customers. From almost every review is ABOUT the staff and how rude they are. Considering my review has been read many times, this matter should have been dealt with already. Especially if the employees already know of this review which means the owner should know of this matter but doesn't care enough to do something about it. This will be the most real comment anyone will see and hopefully Mark will do something about his employees behavior. 12/12/18

Firstly, Mark Dean's is a great establishment not only in food quality/portions/price, but the staff here are great. To all the others complaining about the service quality/rudeness: You need to adjust your perspective. Mark Dean's isnt a Chili's or a McDonalds. It's a bar with a restaurant attached. Don't bring your kids, know what you want when you order, and don't whine about not getting a smile. Instead, relish in the awesome bbq sauce, hearty portions, great side items, and, well, decent barbecue. The ribs have been on point every time. The portion size on the bbq sandwiches tends to vary a little, but are great nonetheless. The brisket is a little dry and lean for my tastes, but wholly enjoyable. Mark Dean's is now my go-to stop for BBQ in the Azle area, as it suits what I'm looking for perfectly and stomps the local competition. Don't let the turned-up-nose reviews dissuade you from this little gem. It's definitely worth a try.

It's edible. That about the best I can say... Sausage didn't have much flavor to it. Dad ordered a catfish sandwich. He liked it, but you would think they would use a filet type Patty. Nope, they just put 5 or 6 pieces of catfish between to buns. I guess we're just supposed to hope and pray that all the pieces stay on the bun when I lift it up?

Bad food and worse staff, very bitter and unpleasant. I would not go back. When I pulled up to the drive through, the woman came to the window and said “what”. Chopped sandwich tasted sour and had so much grease that the bun was soggy. WORST EXPERIENCE. I suggest White Beard’s BBQ, further down 199 headed toward Springtown.

I ordered 6 large family packs for my son's graduation party. The brisket was juicy, super tasty and included burnt endsmy favorite part of the brisket. I am not a coleslaw fan, but, theirs is the best I ever tasted. It's great on a sliced brisket sandwiches. The pinto beans is one of the reasons I went with them, they have a unique smoky flavor, I am not sure how to describe it, I just know I like them. And, let's not forget their world famous barbeque sauce if it's not world famous, it should be. Sweet and Deelicious! I poured that sauce on everything. I hope this does not sound too much like a commercial, but, most people don't leave critiques unless it's bad. I would definitely go back. Thank you Mark Dean.

They still have the best ranch dressing around but not too fond of the rest of the menu. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is very authentic for a barbecue joint.

My husband called in our order for pickup. He had the phone on speaker. He asked some questions about what is on the menu but the girl on the phone seemed annoyed. He even said 'thank you' and she impolitely hung up on my husband. He goes through the drive thru to pick up our order and she just looks stares at him. She starts to walk away then she just stops and says you got somthing to say? After she returned he asked if she was having a bad day and she just says 'y eah' & walks away. I work with the public and what we experienced was awful.And the food,tasted like the chicken fried steak was fried in catfish batter. And the ribs dry as beef jerky!
