Pecan Lodge in Dallas

[Jose]

NOPE! After looking at the menu, I discovered they put beans in Chili... which makes it NOT Chili and discredits the whole fucking operation! FAIL.

Also nope. I tried Longoria's out about a month ago, had the sliced brisket. Not impressed at all. I don't know how the hell they even ended up ranking so high year after year. You could go to Luby's and get about the same quality of brisket I had there.

Henry is going to ban you mother fuckers for talking shit about Longoria's. It does suck dick, though.

My bad on the recommendation. I read a review about it online and thought it was good.

Bartleys is above average but very consistent. We go a lot because it's so close to the office.

[BMCSean]

I thought Bartleys was mediocre the couple times I have gone.

[Craizie]

Has anyone tried Bartleys in Grapevine?

Everyone I work with says its awesome, but they have seriously let me down with past recommendations.

Thanks Matt. Now I want some Fred's loaded potato

I need to make a trip to Pecan Lodge one weekend.

Right now my BBQ rankings for the area are

1 - Lockhart in Plano
2 - Big Daddys Roadhouse BBQ in Lavon
3 - Slow Bone in Dallas
4 - Fred's in Irving
5 - Sammy's BBQ in downtown or Mike Anderson's by Parkland

Just wanted to report I finally got to sample Pecan Lodge's brisket and I have to say it's probably the best I've ever had. Freaking 90 minute wait...I was getting pissed. But then I ate the brisket and life was good.

I find it hard to believe you can get worse than dickies

Sure they are, he should just go to Risckys.

I didn't say Riscky's was any better. But neither are any of those you mentioned.


I guess if you like flavorless beef jerky, eat your heart out.

Angelo's, Railhead, and Cooper's in FTW are all fucking terrible. Like, Dickie's terrible. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to any of those. Same goes for Hard 8. They used to be hit and miss, now it's all miss.

Angelo's is great most of the time. Coopers in the stockyards isn't bad, especially if you want chicken. If he'll be in town on Friday for lunch I'd recommend The Smoke Pit, their 1lb pork chop is cheap and awesome but call ahead and reserve one. It is a dive joint for sure but the waitresses wear bikini tops, it's cheap and and the food is good.

Me personally I do Railhead regularly. As long as they are busy it's really good. I get the two meat dinner and my wife gets a brisket plate. With drinks and everything we are out for under $20.00 (they do a 25% military discount).

If you want to drop some cash and go fancy the Wood Shed has been good every time I've been there. It is EXPENSIVE for BBQ though. Lunch with a couple of drinks was $50.00.

My cousin is in town next week and wants to try a BBQ place He's in FTW What would y'all suggest ?
My first thought is hard 8 because it's close to my work and it's a touristy type place but is there somewhere else toward FTW we should try
I've been to hard 8 a lot and would like to try something else

I have been here before and the brisket is really good. I would wait for more than an hour for a table, as I think it is worth the wait.
