Kafi BBQ

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Kafi BBQ puts wagyu at the center of its Texas barbecue approach. At its North MacArthur Boulevard location in Irving, the lineup includes Texas-raised wagyu brisket and ribs alongside grass-fed wagyu ribs from New Zealand. The kitchen makes every dish from scratch, giving the ingredient sourcing a supporting cast of equally deliberate preparation. For a first visit, brisket and ribs are the clear starting points—and the different origins make the rib selection especially interesting. Save room for banana pudding: D Magazine dining critic Brian Reinhart singled it out as his personal favorite by a considerable margin. Kafi also appeared on the magazine’s Best Barbecue 2025 list. Plan around its weekend schedule: service runs Friday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with an earlier finish if the barbecue sells out.

• Try Texas-raised wagyu brisket and ribs.
• Explore the rib lineup with grass-fed wagyu from New Zealand.
• Finish with banana pudding praised by D Magazine critic Brian Reinhart.
