Favorite BBQ place in DFW area?

[Jose]

No doubt! I need to do a road trip to Lockhart, TX to remember what good BBQ is like again.

I think the last time I bought BBQ it was from a guy who had a pit on a trailer at a gas station down the street from my house. I bought some chopped and sliced brisket along with a link sandwich. BBQ from this guy was much better than Colter's. Wish I had seen him Saturday

Should have gone to Slow Bone. I didn't even know Colter's was still around.

Ouch that sucks. Man, wish i could start a franchise that sells crap bbq and get rich!

If you look at most franchises, the large majority of them serve shit food. All you need is a simple concept and marketing.

Finally tryed lockhart smokehouse and was really impressed with the brisket. The sausage was only ok.

I know! What was I thinking? Slow Bone would have been a little out of the way but would have been a ton better. They do carry out right?

I need to go by there again. The last two times I was there were right after they opened and it was so so. I actually considered going there last Saturday but didn't want to deal with parking (which can be pretty bad on the weekends).

Had some family over Saturday night for my brother in laws birthday and I didn't have time to grill anything like I normally would. At the last minute we made the decision to just pick up some food and we decided on BBQ. I was driving from North Dallas and couldn't think of anywhere to stop so I decided to just pick up some BBQ from Colter's. Bad idea Both the ribs and brisket were pretty dry and adding sauce did not help what so ever

Jezzzus, that sucks. You have a Micho just around the corner, their stuff is already marinated and trimmed, fire up the grill, go to Micho, come back and everythings ready in 10 minutes. You can even buy rice, beans and tortillas. I'd do that before I ever went to Colter, Dickies or one of them worthless ass places, yack!

Wish I lived in the Dallas area haven't been too impressed with anyone's BBQ in the NFTW area

LOL my Step-father picked up some of their fajitas for our cook-out and he tried acting like he marinaded them himself, they have some good fajita meat there.

Yep. They also have stuff they don't cook every day, and is not normally on the menu. Like hams, gumbo, etc.

There are actually a few places besides Micho around here to buy marinated fajiats (El Rancho comes to mind). Just tired of the typical red marinade that everybody does. I've taken to buying them unmiranated and doing them myself but didn't have the time. That and we were looking for something different and BBQ was voted in. I just chose poorly.

I don't know why my mind went completely blank Saturday afternoon when we settled for BBQ. Not a lot of good choices in my area either except for maybe Lockhart.

I'll have to hit them up this weekend. I've been saying that for to long now.

I was driving from North Dallas and couldn't think of anywhere to stop

I stopped off at a place in Garland a while back while getting some tires mounted up at Discount. The BBQ was good (I had brisket and hot link) but the sauce was only OK. I didn't search, has this place already been posted in this thread? Kind of a weird joint, operating out of a defunct old Sonic.
