"It may go against everything you know about ordering at a barbecue place, but order the smoked turkey here. It is brined for hours until it becomes moist and deeply flavorful. Intrinsic is also a great spot to visit for weekend brunch, when the team gets especially creative with the menu, serving up meals like brisket with burnt-end gravy on a biscuit topped with a runny egg. There is also barbecued jackfruit for vegetarians. This spot is also a brewery, so prepare to order some outrageous beers. Inside is a long, thin dining room with a bar at the front and a walk-up ordering area in the back. A patio separates the buildings, and it has been repaired after storm damage rendered it unusable for a while. The shop sits right on the square in Downtown Garland, so walk around to check out other interesting places when you’re done." - Courtney E. Smith
