"Peg Leg Porker and Bringle’s Smoking Oasis couldn’t be more different, even though they’re owned by the same team. Bringle’s in the Nations feels more like a local hang, one that gets packed during football season thanks to its outdoor astroturf seating area and multiple ginormous television screens. On any given Sunday (or any day, really), you’ll find dogs and kids sharing the space with sports fans camped out at one of the picnic tables. And on those tables, they’re sharing Bringle’s show-stealing smoked pastrami (something you won’t find on Peg Leg’s menu), West Texas-style brisket, and smoked prime rib along with an excellent version of cowboy beans and street corn. Paired with a beer on tap or frozen cocktail, it’s exactly the type of place where you’ll forget that tomorrow is Monday." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
