Hard Eight BBQ is a family-owned and operated business that was started by the late Phillip Nivens and his wife Vicki, along with their son-in-law Chad Decker and wife Carie. Hard Eight BBQ started in 2003 with the first location in Stephenville, TX. Since then we have opened 4 other locations in the DFW metroplex. Hard Eight BBQ is an authentic eating experience where we serve "Texas Style BBQ" straight from our serving pit.
