Brisket, ribs, fried chicken & unique sides at this Dallas BBQ spot
"A stalwart of Dallas’s barbecue scene, the Slow Bone’s prime brisket, smoked ribs, and pulled pork just can’t be beat. Order a two-meat plate, or consider the pork rib sandwich, a saucy and messy open-faced offering that won’t disappoint. The intensely smoky smells coming out of this bright-orange building in the Cedars are known to drive locals and passersby in the neighborhood wild — if it catches your attention while driving by, stop and enjoy a platter on the patio or inside the warm, wood-paneled dining room. It is open for lunch only." - Courtney E. Smith
"Smoked turkey has become a thing in barbecue, and this spot serves some of the best in town. No need to stop there, though. It has top notch brisket, sausages, and pork ribs. The food is served cafeteria-style, and the interiors are loaded with photos and Texas-style decor. This isn’t a spot that gets overhyped, and you might not even have to wait in line to get a plate. It’s for the real ones who know." - Courtney E. Smith
"Order barbecue if you must, but the Slow Bone’s fried chicken is the stuff of legends. Chef Jeffrey Hobbs starts off by smoking a pan of water for the brine, letting the chicken chill overnight, then deep fries the birds to crispy, crunchy perfection." - Courtney E. Smith
"Slow Bone makes our favorite barbecue work lunch, so it’s where you (and the cubicle crowd from nearby offices) can get some quick smoked meats and a hit of 1pm barbecue sauce. They have a reasonably priced and consistent menu of brisket, pork ribs, and other expected meats, but their fried chicken is the crispy dark horse. Get it in sandwich form so you can also enjoy a nice bit of heat from chimichurri slaw and sriracha aioli. The mac and cheese is some of the gooiest north of the Trinity River and you should always finish your meal with the sugary-crusted sweet potato praline. " - lee escobedo
