Regulars at Smokey Joe’s know that its bricks of fabulously tender and minimally treated pork ribs are unbeatable. And owner Kris Manning’s personal passion happens to be brisket, which might be why his has become the best brisket between Cattleack and Waco. Its balance – not overly smoky, not harshly seasoned, fabulously tender and moist […]

Specializing in hickory-smoked barbecue and home-style cooking, Smokey John’s Bar-B-Que is a Dallas classic.
Every night, Smoky Rose prepares a selection of specials with titles – The Pork Dish, The Fish Dish, The Chicken Dish – which signal both simplicity and pretension. The Fish Dish is a simply seasoned, pan-seared rainbow trout fillet with deliciously crispy skin, set atop an almost too generous heaping of veggie sides. Among the […]
The famous old-school barbecue joint that spawned a litter of juniors throughout the Big D area is still smokin’. The old favorites – ribs, brisket and onion rings – still hit the spot, especially when doused with Sonny’s original, thick, rust-colored sauce and washed down with fresh, cold iced tea in a foam Dr Pepper cup.

This spot made Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ list in 2021, not that that surprised anyone. Their Central Texas-inspired brisket is spot on. The sides are solid too. And what’s […]
Winner’s is a definite winner when it comes to barbecue. It easily ranks as one of North DFW’s best barbecue joints, but don’t judge based on looks. Start with a two-meat plate, which includes generous servings of delectable meat. We loved the brisket and ribs, served along with beans, mustard potato salad and several slices […]
Texas barbecue gets influenced by Mexican heritage at Zavala’s, and the results are deeply satisfying. Every Friday is taco night, but every barbecue tray can be converted into a taco plate if you ask for tortillas. This might be a hot take, but tortillas are a better barbecue accompaniment than white bread. A slice of […]
