"A chef-driven smokehouse launched in 2014 that adheres to the Texas barbecue playbook but elevates it: slow, wood-smoked meats executed with precision. Smoked turkey is a particular triumph—succulent, slightly sweet, with crackly salt-and-pepper skin—while other marquee items include dry-aged brisket tamales and Flintstones-size beef ribs. Generous sides like adult-style creamed corn and potato salad round out the meal, and many customers make lengthy drives to dine here; the turkey and the creamed corn are frequently singled out as must-orders." - ByKayla Stewart
