It's practically impossible to travel through Dallas without stopping somewhere for barbecue, and this will probably be the best barbecue you've ever had, as long as you don't live in Texas.
Regardless of whether you're "into" BBQ, you're probably still semi-aware of the huge barbecue competitions between the Southern states, with each having specialties for sauces, or lack of sauces, and meats. Within Texas, the competition is also heavy, with decent chain BBQ served at gas stations, fast food joints, and in backyards, so ordering BBQ in Texas is like ordering Sushi in Japan (it's even in vending machines).
Texas's specialty is beef brisket, so you can probably guess what I ordered. For those of readers that might be familiar with Tennessee Style cafeteria service, this is very similar service, without actually having to stand around and watch what they heap on your plate. The reason you don't have to watch is because of one huge variation in service style.
In Tennessee you get a "meat and two," or a "meat and three," which denotes the selection of one protein and a number of sides. The result is they you follow your tray down line and pick from mashed potatoes, corn, baked beans, etc.
Here is "two meats and a side," or "three meats and a side," meaning that when you order, your plate disappears to the back of the house and reappears when it's ready.
In addition to brisket, I ordered turkey, which is notoriously dry, and a great BBQ challenge. Unfortunately, the turkey wasn't anything to write home to Mom about, so it's a good thing that that's not the main event.
Before I get to describing the mouth watering, melt in your mouth, perfectly seasoned brisket that was delivered as a part of my order (totally blew that suspense), I should talk about the price. If you're actually going to sit down and go for some serious BBQ, be prepared to pay top dollar. The combo plus the drink cost a whopping $31 plus tip.
The service was friendly, the food was delivered quickly, and my only real complaint is that the Mac and Cheese under performed, it was mushy and a bit bland. Overall, if you're looking for great BBQ, this place has it, but as previously mentioned, this is Texas, so a lot of other places have it as well.
