Texas Tacoma Stalkers!

Back in FL, I would eat BBQ at least once a week. Usually more often than that. Now, its maybe every other month at best.

As Kenneth stated, Hard 8 is about as good as I have found. If I'm craving a Pulled Pork sandwich, Risky's is about the best that I have found.

I will give TX BBQ credit where credit is due....they have brisket pretty much figured out. However, BBQ is so much more than that. I'll take fall-off-the-bone smoked pork ribs over TX Brisket any day of the week.

 

Just get out of the city. You'll find good bbq.

 

Much better than hard 8 too. I've had both.

 

And every neighborhood has 13 backyards with better.

Hard 8 is mediocre at best compared to some of the legit spots in dallas.

 

Try Off the Bone or Meshacks

 

I've eatin a lot of BBQ in Dfw and can say
Lees bbq in haslet has some of the best brisket and baked beans
Hard8 ribs and ribeye steak
Rudys - chicken/sausage
Hickory stick- ham/turkey is awesome

 

Cattleack and slow bone too. I hear 18th and vine is good more and more these days as well.

 

where are these places at?

 

I honestly eat BBQ at home mostly. I honestly think my BBQ is better than the majority of places I've tried. But there are far better places to eat than my backyard. Locally mine is better. 3 stacks sucks. Hutchins is ok. Hard 8 is ok. I'm in Prosper so fuck driving to Dallas. I'll just pop a brisket in the smoker and wait 15-20 hours

 

Rudy's in San Antonio is better than Rudy's in Austin. Their turkey is really good, and I second your nomination on their sausage. Their creamed corn is a banned substance in 32 other states.

Black's in Lockhart has the best ribs I've had outside St. Louis. Not saying they're the best in Texas, only that I haven't found it yet. Their brisket is definitely top-10 in Texas as well - Franklin's quality. Place is family owned, 5th generation, and the love shows.

 

I wasn't impressed with Blacks at all. Hutchins was better. I went way out of my way to eat there. I wanted to like it. It was ok. I'd eat hard 8 over both of them

 

And Rudy's, well the one in Frisco is terrible. I refuse to eat there. Horrible BBQ both times I went

 

Where is the Texas BBQ thread?!?

 

@stock-o taco You've been spotted!

​

 

Here, duh

 

You found it.

 

Rudy's breakfast tacos are the only thing I'll order from there.

 

I go down the street to a Mexican joint called Rudy's kitchen for tacos.

 

imean... spring creek bbq is awesome... especially with the buy one get one free coupon that comes with your mail

 

chopped beef + egg are pretty legit!
