DFW BBQ Tour

[Baron Von Crowder]

Ill give it a shot in the next month or two, Im still waiting on a date that my office will be live and ready.

There was a place in south Arlington that opened up and people were raving about a few years back. I tried it one night, and it was dry, flavorless meat that I didnt want to even finish. I couldnt believe that people were still going on and on about it, so i gave it another shot, and it was pretty damn good. I doubt that most people would open a BBQ restaurant without the ability to make some good meat, but I do think that a lot of them go under because they cant do it consistently.

Im sure Ill give it a shot one day, maybe you happened on a bad day for them.

Man I don't know, I don't think it was bad day for them. Maybe if it was just dry meat I could say that but the lack of smoke, flavor, and bark leads me to think that this is just the way they do it there. And that was just the brisket, the sausage similarly lacked flavor and smoke. But post up if you ever go there.

There's a pregnant chick working the counter whose milkers are gianormus, hell that's worth a sausage sandwich...

LMAO! I was thinking the same thing!

My cousin lives on the outskirts of Burleson he recommended Rasco's BBQ in Burleson. He also owns two smokers and can make some pretty damn good 'Que himself, he has a giant smoker that he smokes briskets/ribs/bologna during big parties, not sure why he never went into business, his cousin owns Longoria's in Everman.

Anyway after we left Rendon I gave him a call, he said Rasco's is pretty good and they also have $2.00 pints, that might be worth the drive right there...

I'm down!

Let us know what you think if you go.

well, that is disappointing. I was quasi excited to hear what you thought, It looks like I'll be changing offices and it is close enough to the new place to a lunch run.

Do they have a kids menu? Probie and I might come out

lol.

[Cobraman]

I was kidding, but thanks for the link lol

[Jose]

That sucks, Jose. Can't say I'm surprised. At least the dude knows how to build one hell of a smoker.

Being that the last place I ate BBQ was Colter's last weekend (LOL!) because my sis and bro-in-law didn't want want to spend the money on better quality 'Que, maybe I had to high of expectations. I'm surprised to read on their website that the sausage is made in house, disappointing. Oh well, I won't be going back.

I feel about the same as Jose, except I was starvng since I didn't have any food on Friday (I drank my lunch & dinner) so I was pretty hungry when we arrived. The brisket was very dry, the ribs while fell off of the bone, lacked flavor (not much rub). Like Jose, I added their bbq sauce which IMO 'Que shouldn't need, their sausage was OK, fries were hot and the beans were very tasty, but I didn't go there for beans or fries. I can't wait for Pecan Lodge.

So far we have visited on the DFW BBQ Tour:

Slow Bone
Lockharts (Plano)
Jambo's

Ya besides the flavor, the brisket was dry. And ya I can't wait for Pecan Lodge!

i swear by the place off hwy 26 and 820. the two times i have been, meat is jiucy and has been the only meat i have had in my mouth that has smoke flavor.

Any idea of the name?

Out of those three the best so far is Slow Bone...

We will definitely need to hit up Slow Bone again. So far my vote is for Lockhart's Plano. I also hit up Lockhart's in Bishop Arts a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty damn good.

My personal vote is still for Pecan Lodge for Brisket. Sausage definitely goes to Lockhart. Rib's are still a toss up for me. I think Lockhart has some good sides, lots of variety. I liked the fact that they had some spicy pickles (at least in the Bishop Arts location, don't remember seeing those in Plano)

Some pics from Lockhart Bishop Arts.

Sorry no kid's menu for Pecan Lodge.

I'll let Henry posts his opinion. I think we are going to hit up Pecan Lodge next just to try and forget about Jambo's.
