Dallas is filled with barbecue joints, but none can compare with the smoky goodness coming out of this rustic barbecue haven. Pecan Lodge's 'cue is so good that Texas Monthly named it one of the top BBQ joints in the state, and Food Network's Guy Fieri featured it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Here, people line up daily just to get their fix of house-made sausages, mesquite smoked brisket and mouthwatering ribs. They also churn out fab fried chicken and sublime sides. And if you haven't tried the hot mess, a sweet potato stuffed with shredded brisket,chipotle cream cheese, butter and green onions– then you've really been missing out. There's also Aunt Polly's banana pudding--get that too.
