    I’ve only had Brisket until today. Tried the pork ribs. Here’s a picture of a single rib. It’s delicious just like that. No sauce needed, and I love my sauce. A little sweet but who cares. Lol.

    A newcomer, but the best in town. Skip pecan lodge and head north. Brisket, beef ribs and pork ribs all A+ but DONT sleep on the sausages and turkey. Crack cake for dessert.

    The brisket is the best I have ever had. The Mac & Cheese is fantastic as well. Plus they have Cheerwine! Had to wait in line for 40 minutes over lunch, but the brisket alone is well worth it.

    Omg…. By the time we arrived all they had left was brisket. The brisket was so freaking good. We also had the brisket chili which was delicious as well. That Mac and cheese was so fire. I will be back

    Legendary pastrami rubbed brisket. Pulled pork and pork ribs also tasty. Beans and corn great sides. A top bbq joint in Texas.

    This is a great place 35 minutes waiting but it’s worth it , they were out of beef ribs but the pork rib was great

    The Hot Link a blend of pork and beef stuffed inside a thick pork casing. Instead of peppery hotness assaulting your taste buds, you get a more subdued spice which allows the smoked meat to shine.

    Some of the best BBQ I've had in Dallas. Very small space, offer free beer while you wait in line. Try the Tod Father.

    The Toddfather is a beast of a sandwich. The wait is long and my meal was over $20 but very good

    Their ribs and brisket are TO DIE FOR. They only do take out on Fridays, so make sure you plan for that.

    They use to close at 2pm. Now staying open until sold out. Go near 2 to avoid the long lines.
