Best BBQ joints in DFW

Damn, that does suck! I didn't know that he sold it, but man they had some real nice Q and sides were fucking awesome.

What about M&M, do they still own that place?

Ya he still owns it and I've seen him there the past two times I've stopped by.

Maaan, I think that dude is in Uptown on Routh street on Fri-&Sat nights, right around the corner from Kung Fu/Concrete Cowboy. I was at the BBC and stumbled across the street and had a great chopped brisket sammich. Of course when you've been drinking everything is good.

Yeah that was the case for me also LOL

i'll tell ya right now, Big Daddy's BBQ in Lavon isn't on that list, but I would put it up against a few that are.

It's been years since I've had it but it was horrible when I did. I don't just mean on par with springcreek...i mean on par with the pre cooked and packaged shit you buy at the grocery store and heat up in the microwave.

I've been to Lockhart twice and both experiences were very forgettable.

I have yet to hit Cattleack but TM puts them at #3. These people came out of nowhere a couple years ago. I've heard nothing but raving reviews from people that know food. I do know their briskets are Akaushi beef, so they start with about the best quality beef you can reasonably get. I need to make it a priority, but I hear their wait went from 45mins to 3 hours when the TM list came out.

Which Lockharts have you tried? I've heard mixed reviews about the one in Bishop arts, but the one in Plano is excellent IMO.

Cattleacks isn't worth the wait or hype. Brisket was dry, and the beef rib was way overcooked. Ribs were ok.

I've eaten there 50+ times in the last 4 years, and never even had a mediocre experience. It's always top notch, the hand cut fries and fried okra are awesome. The jalapeno pinto beans rock too. Every meat I've tried there is just good bbq.

It's been probably 8 or 9 years for me so they may be better....and I generally don't care much for sides when I go to a bbq place so that wouldn't really improve my impression.

Oh I've got some issues with the list too. People not on there that should be, and people on there that have no business being on there. There is a lot of politicking that goes on with these lists.

If I'm not mistaken, the joint Robert's cousin bought made the list.

The writer that does the list is Daniel Vaughn aka the TXBBQsnob https://twitter.com/bbqsnob?lang=en

He leaves a business card, takes selfies and checks in when he's doing reviews. The first time he visits a place it probably is pretty impartial but if someone has any kind of social media presence at all they know he's there and can make sure he gets their best offerings. Assuming they don't already know him in the first place.

Plano and Bishop Arts.

Hutchins, meshaks in garland, for a chain place spring creek is consistently good.,lockharts in plano has great briskets. Saltlicks is good but I think I have had better. Ten50 jalapeño sausage is really good, but that's it.
Still need to try some of these other places.

Winners BBQ in Plano off of 14th street is pretty good we go there for lunch.

[Rick Modena]

I was talking to a chick that works at Lockhart in Plano and I was telling her about Hutchins and she recommended Winners BBQ in east Plano. Jose and I might have to put it on the list.

[Hell-Bent SS]

Definitely worth checking out, everyone i have taken there like it.

Yeah, my coworker's been trying to get me to go up there. Winners.

that place was horrible when I went there last year. poorly kept up, unattentive staff, what tasted like day old BBQ reheated, etc.

Obviously it's someone who was a decent backyard cook, who everyone convinced should open a BBQ joint, but knows nothing about restaurants or customer service.

Woody Creek BBQ in Springtown is outstanding if you ever find yourself out that way. They do have a location in Fort Worth as well, but I've never been to that one. I know that the family still runs the one in Springtown.
