Description

Fort Worth's classic Texas barbecue joint, in this spot since 1958, is the real deal, a Cowtown legend. A few blocks north of the Cultural District and west of downtown, it looks kind of like a large Texas Jaycees convention hall, with wood paneling, mounted deer and buffalo heads, metal ceiling fans, and Formica tables. It's nearly as full of flavor as the hickory-smoked barbecue. The sliced beef sandwich and beef brisket plates are the standard, though you can also detour toward salami, ham, turkey, and Polish sausage. The side dishes, such as coleslaw, pinto beans, and potato salad, are all excellent. Chicken and pork ribs are served all day "while they last," though hickory-smoked beef ribs don't make an appearance until after 3:30pm. Cold Bud comes in frosted steins. This place is so low-key that there's not even "waitress service" until 3pm. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
