Featured on such shows as Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Man Fire Food, this Deep Ellum hot spot is as famous for its long lines as it is for its epic barbecue. But if you come for lunch, chances are the lines will be less lengthy, and the offerings will be more plentiful since they tend to sell out of the most popular items earlier in the day. Expect to tempt your taste buds with house-made sausages, mesquite smoked brisket and mouthwatering ribs. Other must-haves include brisket and chipotle cream cheese stuffed sweet potato dubbed the Hot Mess and banana pudding.
