"This Dallas icon has been a staple of the smoked meats scene for decades, and that expertise shows. The brisket is tender and juicy, the ribs are nice and smoky, and the cooks here absolutely cannot be beat when it comes to sides. Chow down on collard greens, candied yams, and potato salad. Then be prepared to immediately need a nap." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy
