"Tucked in a residential neighborhood near the Alamodome, this barbecue restaurant doesn’t have the historic charm of most destination smoked meats joints. Titular brothers Nick and Elliott Reese draw the long lines anyway. The dishes hew closely to the Texas ideal with moist turkey and peppery brisket, but the spot excels most when it reflects its home city. From pillowy tortillas and queso fundido sausage to ridiculously creamy mac and cheese, the best dishes are as puro as they come. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Brandon Watson
