A review is a structured editorial regarding a specific visit to a joint. In addition to the commentary, each joint is given ratings for main fare, other fare, and atmosphere.
All-in-all, this is a solid joint… but don’t get too distracted from the main attractions here. In February, I started a new job in the Cedars area of South Dallas. I am a few short blocks from the Baby Back Shak, but have been bringing my lunch to work every day. Well, due to …
The moist brisket was so good that despite everything else proving a letdown, it still rates as a positive experience. Yes, the brisket was THAT good! The learning curve to get consistently good barbecue from an Oyler pit is steep… I hope Will Buckman can meet the challenge, but as of today he’s still got …
An excellent barbecue stop from start to finish. Traditional methods & recipies; dedication to craft; and attention to detail produce great food and loyal customers. Breadth of the menu did not dilute the quality of the barbecue. This is a model of success that other restaurants should study. MAIN FARE: Chopped – Hand Chopped. Even …
The barbecue was above average, but the strawberry cobbler was a winner. Although the sliced was a bit dry, I preferred it over the chopped today. While I enjoyed the flavors in the chopped, I just couldn’t get over the mushy texture of the meat (machine processed). Next time I will try the chicken and …
I thought the sliced was better than the chopped today… primarily because it seemed the fresher of the two. The atmosphere and dip are unique, and must be experienced. MAIN FARE: Sliced – Smoky flavor does come through. Fork tender, with a little chew. Bonus for not being held in a steam pan. Chop …

This joint has a solid history and good local following. My favorites were the banana pudding, Brunswick Stew, and BBQ Slaw. MAIN FARE: Sliced – This has been in a steam tray for quite a while. It is lean and very tender. Would be good with some fried rice, or as sweet-and-sour pork. Chopped …
Solid joint with our favorites being the homemade banana pudding and pimento cheese. Barbecue is good after being re-heated and held… but excellent when consumed fresh from the smoker. Double-Boner takes a quart of pimento cheese to-go! MAIN FARE: Course Chop – Tender meat. Pork chop flavors. Moist & good. Slice – Getting a lot …
The food was in the average to good range, but with much less smoke flavor than we’re used to getting. Because of time constraints, this joint was chosen over barbecue in Shelby. Would should have kept on moving, because after being in Lexington earlier this afternoon, M&K doesn’t make a lasting impression on us. MAIN …

Smoke Daddy, XO, Gus, and Jack thought the hot link was excellent. Ribs and beans were good, with the ribs narrowly missing an excellent mark. We were disappointed that we arrived too late to try the sliced brisket and cobbler. This is just the type of joint that our BBQ Tours crew loves: Family owned/operated; …

XO, Smoke Daddy, Gus, and Jack would return for the ribs, sausage, and beans. Solid effort across the board. This restaurant in the Bishop Arts district felt like a barbecue place – even though it is just over 2 years old. High praise from XO: "Atmosphere is about as good as a new, urban barbecue …
