Worth the drive every single time. These ribs are hands-down some of the best barbecue we've had. The small space has such a lovely, welcoming feel, and while it can get crowded, today we lucked out and must've missed the rush--just a great, relaxed visit. We ordered a whole slab of ribs, mac and cheese, and four burgers (two to take home). Service was friendly and the food, as always, was excellent. We love supporting everyone who makes this place happen. God bless, and thanks, y'all. read more

Former NC residents, been in North Texas trying several iconic BBQ venues; my favorite pit master from Western Carolina strongly recommended Dayne's; and is truly special! Welcoming clean and cozy ambiance. The quality of the Meats Wow!! Spectacular Sides and overall flavors make it a Destination BBQ. The Welcome is truly sincere (thanks Mark). The Tour of the Smokers by Alex, the Bar by Lexi and the presence of Dayne himself make this culinary experience caring and memorable. With friends visiting from Miami FL the "Fort Worth The Wait" platter was perfect for us 4. Even the Sweet Tea is spectacular! We liked it so much that took another Fort Worth The Wait platter for our Son in Prosper. The special of the day was an exotic and delicious Brisket Lumpia - Wow!! Wash it down with a TX Margarita from bartender Lexi. A Truly memorable experience!! Thanks Dayne; please come to Prosper! read more

So had to do a follow up on the first and second reviews for consistency. Dayne's has consistently been on point no matter what I've ordered. Definitely in the my top 5 in the state. Continuing to add a fun variety of tasty sides and execution of those has been legit (lumpia or lumpia Shanghai). A TX BBQ twist on Filipino version of a pork filled egg roll. The pork belly was really good as well, prefer the beef burnt ends personally but really good nonetheless. I was last one in and last one out on this day so hard to grade service as they were cleaning up. read more

A true hidden gem in the quiet town of Aledo. We have been to a few places in Texas whenever we come to visit, and this is definitely a contender for the top spot! Ordered the Trinity, the OG burger, and a pulled pork sandwich. The jalapeño sausage, and brisket were Divine! The OG burger was also really tasty. And we loved the mac and cheese and street corn sides. The pork sandwich was a bit on the dry side but still good. Lots of room to sit both inside and outside. Expect to wait in line awhile, and service was just ok here. When I was ordering the cashier kept cutting me off. Overall the service wasn't terrible, but nothing really stood out about it either. Would absolutely come back because the food is amazing! read more

I love Dayne's and I'm still sad they moved out of Fort Worth and to Aledo. I've been coming since they were at Lola's followed them to Camp Bowie and now Aledo! We came on a Friday for the lunch and thankfully the line wasn't out the door but was after we got there!! We came for the OG Burgers, we love these, they are the best!! Other local bbq jts do their own burgers now but nothing compares to Dayne's!!! The Frito beans are the best side, love em!! We wanted a little extra meat and went with the bacon brisket, I forget what this was but still delicious! Love coming back here when I get the chance! read more

We checked this place out for lunch recently and it was really good. Dayne's has been on our list for a while and we finally found a day to check it out for lunch. We tried the "Fort Worth the Wait" platter. We added a Holy Voodoo sausage link, beef bacon, and the lumpia to try a little bit of everything. We also tried the banana bourbon delight. For sides, we had everything expect the broccoli grape salad. The amount of food we got for the price, was very reasonable. Everything was flavorful. The sausage was the group's favorite, then the brisket, beef bacon, turkey, pulled pork, and ribs. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and the first responder discount was unexpected. One of the best places our group has tried. Worth making the trip. read more

Might be the best bbq I have ever had and I am 54 years old! It was myself, my wife and our 30 year old son and we had the platter that was $95. We took a lot of food home. This easily could have fed 1-2 more people. Brisket would just melt in your mouth. All of the meats were outstanding. My favorite side was the Mac and cheese but wife loved the street corn. Overall, I cannot rank it high enough. 5 out of 5 easy!!! read more

Saw Dayne's coming in at #7 on the Texas Monthly list so drove the hour and 15 mins from Frisco with the family to check it out. Heard so much about the OG Burger that I had to give it a shot. The burger alone could warrant a 5 star review. Wife and I both said may be the best burger we've ever eaten Ordered the BBQ "Trinity" as well. Brisket amazing, ribs solid, and had the two sausages offered. Both what I expect from a high end spot. Sides wise, I'm a cole slaw guy and enjoyed their version. My girls had the Mac and both raved about it. Frito beans also a hit. Service with a smile. Cool very Texas vibe. Well done guys. I've only given out 5 stars to 2 others in the field(Goldie's and Leroy and Lewis). I'll be back! read more

Dayne's has now become a staple in Aledo. Starting as a food truck I'm glad they found a home here. Their barbecue is obviously well-known and loved. But their desserts and sides are also not to be missed. Sometimes barbecue places have great barbecue but lack on the things that make them unique. Dayne's has a good mix of great barbecue, good sides, and monthly specials to keep you coming back. Glad to live near this go to. read more

This was my first time going to Dayne"s. I kept hearing about it and reading the BBQ rankings. It did not disappoint. The building itself is rustic and just screams BBQ. The cashier took his time explaining what they were know for and so did the other patrons in line. The OG burger was amazing and one of the best burgers I've had in the metroplex. The brisket was right up there with Franklin's. They had 3 different types of sausage and a great mustard based bbq sauce that went well with the turkey and pork. I will be back to try the beef ribs! read more

Excellent and authentic Texas BBQ. Top 10 in the state for a reason. The brisket is exceptional. Recommend getting it with fat on. It will absolutely melt in your mouth. Highlight of the trip. The burger is excellent. Where it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. The brisket trimmings used in the meat is fantastic and so simple. I am not a huge potato salad person, but this one is fantastic. The macaroni and the corn were not showstoppers for me but still good. Highly recommend this place. Excellent food with a great vibe. read more

Dayne's Craft Barbecue - Trinity Plate, OG Burger + Corn, Kid's Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Aledo, Texas

Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. Arrived at Dayne's Craft Barbecue early on a Friday as husband and I wanted to eat a couple of the kolaches and then wait for the BBQ. The kolaches are fresh, delicious and some of the best we have ever eaten. They have a nice large parking area. You walk inside are greeted by a smiling employee. We ordered, ate and talked to several people that work and run this great Barbecue place. While waiting to order BBQ one of the employees was walking around giving out a few free breakfast tacos! Wow, what a treat. When we finally ordered our food we got food to eat there and food to bring back home. Let me just say that is the sign of great BBQ if it's good on site to eat and good when you warm it up at home. Dayne's BBQ was and is some of the best we have had yet. We had the Trinity platter, the bacon brisket, broccoli grape salad and flamin hot street corn. The Trinity came with moist smoke ring brisket along with pork ribs and JALAPENO HAVARTI sausage. I highly recommend you make the drive to Dayne's Craft Barbecue read more

We made a special trip to Texas for the sole purpose of eating BBQ and in our research, we came across Dayne's at #7 in Texas! We ordered the Forth Worth the Wait Platter, which included 1/2 pound of brisket, ribs, turkey, pulled pork, 2 house made sausages & 5 small sides - whew! The brisket was delicious, we had our choice of lean or fatty. The turkey was smoked perfectly and was our favorite turkey of the trip. The ribs fell off the bone they were so tender. The pulled pork was good, but was the lowest ranked for us (and remember, all of this food was still amazing!) By the time we got there, they were out of the jalapeño cheddar sausage so get there early if you want the full pick of the menu! What really caught our attention, (in addition to the meat of course) the SIDES! The frito pie beans & the flaming hot street corn are something we're still talking about a week later! The mac n cheese & potato salad were pretty standard, still yummy but didn't blow our socks off like the beans & corn. The dining room was clean, big enough for a crowd which I appreciated. They had really neat stuff to look at too, clocks, antique meat slicers, photos on the wall. Very nicely decorated. They also had a to-go station in the dining room incase your eyes were bigger than your stomach, then you didn't have to bug the staff for to go items. You order at the counter, get to put a pin on the map of where you're from, and then the kitchen brings the food to your table! Overall, a great place to enjoy some tasty BBQ and we would absolutely return! read more

The Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ List takes you to places you can't even pronounce, and while on a trek to Dallas, I made an intentional stop in Aledo, Texas, to try Dayne's Craft Barbecue. This was my first trek to Dallas since May, and since I was locked in on my Texas Monthly passport, I knew I had to stop at one of the heavy hitters before attending a wedding with my girlfriend. Outside, Dayne's has plenty of space, with grass lots available if worse came to worst. For arriving at 11:40 am, there was still plenty of parking. There was a train track right next door, so if you're coming from I-20, be warned of the tracks. There was a small line, which is expected for a top 10 BBQ joint on a Friday. There was only one cashier, probably to help filter the people eating and the people waiting to get their food because it was pretty filled inside. The cashier was extremely welcoming and helped us decide what sausage link to get, with this week's black pepper brat special being an easy pick for him. Having been driving from Austin on an empty stomach, I was pretty hungry, but all things considered, it only took about 30 minutes from getting in line to getting my food. It's pretty efficient, and we immediately got a table after ordering. Yes The server was even more welcoming than the cashier as he brought us our food. He explained everything about the restaurant, from their traditional red BBQ sauce to their special Carolina gold sauce that had a Texas twist to it. Everything looked incredible on the tray, and I'll share my thoughts on everything. Brisket: I ordered a fatty piece of their brisket, and it was heavenly. The Carolina gold sauce definitely added extra flavor, but the brisket was already super flavorful and almost melted in my mouth. Black Pepper Brat: Their weekly special brat for 10/3 was easily one of the best sausages I've had on this journey so far. It was almost Cajun-like with its pepper base, but the sausage itself was super flavorful and juicy. I'm the most impressed by this. Pork Ribs: Not my favorite ribs from this journey, but they fall off the bone and are very well seasoned. They were a little too smoky for my liking, but my girlfriend seemed to really enjoy them. Apple Slaw: I've had many slaws in my life but have never been huge on it until I had Dayne's apple slaw. It's the right mix of crispness from cabbage to the juiciness of an apple. I'm super pleased with this. Frito Pie Beans: These beans were compact. Some beans can be a little juicy, but these Frito Pie beans topped with Fritos, crema, and jalapeños were so incredible and were destroyed by the two of us. Flamin' Hot Street Corn: This is the second BBQ joint I've been to that added Flamin' Hot Cheeto dust to a side, and I can say that it pairs better with this corn than with macaroni. I demolished it on my own with no help from my girlfriend. I hope she was okay with the one bite she had. My fault. Dayne's is one of those barbecue restaurants that feel integral to the city. Though tourists like myself might come through for their stamps and to try a high-ranking joint, the typical patrons are Aledo residents eating at their hometown BBQ joint, and the love that Dayne and company put into this makes me jealous of the almost 6.7k residents who can swing by almost any day of the week. I sent a picture of my tray to my dad, and his response shows how lucky I am to be at Dayne's: "You suck and I hate you." RIYL: Visiting cities you would never visit otherwise read more

I have been wanting to visit Dayne's bbq since it came out on the Texas monthly top 50 barbecue joints of Texas. We had the chance to visit it yesterday for a Friday afternoon lunch They were moderately full, but the service was reasonably quick, with the staff being pleasant and helpful. Unlike most barbecue joints, their menu is totally à la carte. While they do run special meats or dishes for a month or so, they do not have a daily special on the menu. There are no 2 or 3 meat plate specials in other words. We ordered 1/2 pound of the turkey, a "Beefy Texan" sausage along with a side of the "Frito pie beans" The turkey was very tasty and moist. It's amazing what happens to Turkey when you cook it in a pound of butter. The sausage was good, not dry not too spicy. Good. With the beans, it was kind of hard to tell just how good they are. This was a serving of pinto beans, topped with shredded cheese and then topped with chili cheese Fritos and jalapeños with creamers. It kind of works. It was very tasty. It was also kind of a surprise as I was not told about the chili cheese part. We also got some brisket to try and again it was very good exactly what you would expect for a good barbecue place in Texas. It was well smoked, it had a delicious bark And was very tender Overall, we found Dayne's to be to be a good BBq restaurant. As a plus it was easy to get to. While we would probably go back if we were in the neighborhood, this would not be one of my favorite places. read more

Best: OG Burger and the side of broccoli and grape salad. Can skip: bacon brisket They open early! When we arrived around 10:30 AM on a Saturday, there were no parking spots along the entire first row (there are other parking spaces farther away). The line was only a few people out of the door, so we were inside ~10 minute after arriving but it took about 35 minutes in the inside line before we were able to order. The surprising part was that it took an additional 25 minutes before our food was finally ready (total time waited = 60 minutes). There were no seats inside after we ordered, but people were sitting down waiting on food. Even though they have devices on the tables to keep away flies, there are still lots of flies landing all over your tray of food. They have all the typical meats and sides along with a few fun choices. The fried bologna melt was a fun one, but ultimately not that interesting. The OG burger is a must. The sides were decent. The meat was good. The brisket is pretty salty. The bacon brisket is basically all fat. The pork ribs were very good. The pulled pork was some of the best pulled pork I've had. The turkey was lovely (and made such good turkey leftovers to eat as a cold cut the next day). Overall, good food if you're willing to wait in line and at the table an hour and drive outside of the city to Aledo. read more

In Arlington for a concert with my teen daughter, I knew I had to get some stamps on my Texas Monthly BBQ passport. Aledo was not too far east, so I planned that as our stop after commuting from Houston. My daughter seemed apprehensive claiming she really wasn't a huge fan of bbq. And as we came in, we saw that pork belly lumpia was a special but now unavailable. She asked me to order. So I did. A smoked bologna melt. Brisket. Broccoli and grape salad. Hot Cheetos street corn. And a cocktail from their convenient and cozy bar. From the moment she took her first bite of the bologna melt, Dayne's made my daughter a believer. She loved everything!!! She said it was worth drive and wanted to come back again. Dayne's, thank you for a terrific experience. She was right. Absolutely worth the drive. read more

I've been a fan of Dayne's since they were a food truck serving amazing BBQ in Fort Worth. Now I drive over an hour from Anna to Aledo to get my fix! My favorite item on the menu is the OG Burger. Everything about this burger just hits all the right notes on your taste buds. Fresh meat, greasy cheese and all the fixings pressed between a sesame bun make it one of my favorite burgers of all time. And trust when I say I've had my share of burgers across the country. However, you can't go wrong with your traditional BBQ plate either. Their brisket and Beefy Texan sausage are also a must in my household. We also enjoy the beans, sans the frito pie part (picky kid!), Mac n cheese, and their desserts always hit. Overall, you can't go wrong. My kids even love their grilled cheese sandos! If you're in Aledo, I'm jealous you live so close. And if you're not, make the drive. You will thank me later! Pro Tips: Grab a drink (in my case a DP or cold beer!) from the bar in the back to enjoy while you wait if there is a long line. Also, I was told they make OG burgers everyday now and have upped the quantity, so they rarely sell out. ENJOY! read more

Decided to return to try lunch. Ordered sliced brisket, 2 ribs, Mac and cheese and bourbon banana delight. They charge 50 cents per pickled items (pickles, pickled jalapeño, pickled onions)..so didn't get any. The brisket was moist, but didn't have a lot of flavor. I liked the rib. It came off the bone and had good smoky flavor. My favorite thing was the banana delight! No actual bananas it, but was packed with banana flavor. read more

A friend and his son were driving across country to move from CA to VA and wanted to come visit us because we hadn't seen them since my husband and I moved to TX two years ago. Our friend hadn't been to TX before either so we thought we could make his short stay as Texan as possible so we took them to the #7 ranked BBQ according to Texas magazine -- Dayne's Craft BBQ. We got there a little after opening on a Sunday. There was a line, but it wasn't going out of the door. My friend's son was hoping for breakfast burritos, but they weren't serving any that day. So we ordered a Trinity Platter which consisted of 1/2 lb brisket, ribs, and 1 sausage link and 2 small sides (we chose Mac & cheese and the Fritos pie beans) We ordered an extra 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of pulled pork. Then we searched for a table. Thankfully there were some tables outside under the covered patio, underneath an electric fan. It was hot, but not too hot (for TX). For our visitors, it was quite hot because they were coming from San Diego. Anyway, the food got there and it was absolutely beautiful, but also very delicious. I especially loved the sausage. It was their sausage of the week, a mix of berry and gouda. The combination of the sweet and savory and cheesy was a flavor explosion. I actually still think about it and it's almost a week later. As a Filipino, I love that their Friday special is smoked pork belly lumpia. I have yet to try that. Overall, wonderful food, great service. The lady in the front was so sweet to my friend's son. Would definitely come back! I can definitely see why they made it in the top ten best bbq in the great state of Texas! read more

Wow - another great meal from Dayne's! We had to be in the area for an appointment and while we've had some of the food from Dayne's, my wife had never been "to" Dayne's. So today was the day. We arrive at about 11:45 on a Wednesday. The lot was nearly full and there was a decent line inside. As we got to the front door, Dayne and Ashley were sitting on a waiting bench outside on the front porch. Some entity was there taking their picture and later interviewing them and their staff. We got in line. It took about 10 minutes to make it to the ordering register. We ordered: - The Trinity Platter (with Mac and Cheese and Broccoli Grape Salad as sides) - Bourbon Banana Pudding dessert x 2 (to go) The food took about 10 minutes to prepare and was brought to our table. The server just followed the sound of the beep from the pager and called out my name. The food was great. - Pork Ribs: We especially enjoyed the pork ribs. So tender and flavorful. - Brisket: The brisket was equally good. - Sausage Link: I wasn't sure which of the 3 sausage choices to order as my wife had left the line to get seating, so I went the safe route and got the Texas Beef sausage. I really wanted the Havarti / Jalepno. Oh well - next time. The sausage was good. Definitely had a beefy flavor to it. - Mac and Cheese: Really nice Mac and Cheese. - Broccoli and Grape Salad: This was good, but surprising. Everything but the grapes are finely chopped, as in food processes chopped. Then the grapes were halved and folded in. Tasty - just different. - Bourbon Banana Pudding: Haven't eaten it yet as it's for dessert tonight. Next time, we'll likely get the Trinity Platter again and get the Frito Beans and Potato Salad as our sides and probably the Havarti Jalapeno sausage or similar, depending on what's on the menu that day. read more

Finally made it out to Dayne's Craft BBQ in Aledo, and it was absolutely worth the trip. Craft is the key word here--every detail feels intentional and expertly executed. We ordered the Trinity Platter ( 1/2 lb brisket, ribs, and one sausage link), then added the brisket bacon and sides: the famed Frito Pie Beans and red potato salad. Let's start with the meats--outstanding. Excellent cuts, smoked to perfection, beautifully rendered fat, and rubs that hit just right without overpowering the meat. Every bite was deeply satisfying. The ribs were tender and nearly melted off the bone, and the brisket bacon is something truly special--hands down better than any burnt ends or pork belly I've had elsewhere. The craftsmanship really shines in the sides. The Frito Pie Beans may be my new favorite BBQ side anywhere: rich pinto beans topped with melted cheese, chili Fritos, a drizzle of sour cream--and the magic touch--candied jalapeños that bring the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and heat. Absolute knockout. The red potato salad is another win. Potato salad can be hit or miss at BBQ joints, but this one is a definite hit--well-cooked potatoes, fresh dill, great texture, and just the right amount of mayo. Sauces aren't usually the focus in Texas BBQ, but their golden sauce deserves a mention. It's a unique yellow curry and vinegar blend that complements the meats beautifully without stealing the spotlight. The Texas beef sausage was fantastic--served on soft brioche that soaks up all those smoky juices. Add the red pickled onions and house-made pickles and it's perfection. Beyond the food, the experience is top-notch. Friendly staff, a smart order-to-table system, and hospitality that matches the level of care put into the food. Dayne's Craft BBQ is something special--a true Texas gem. Bravo. read more

Everyone kept talking about Dayne's so we had to try it. Rated #7 on the Texas Top 50 BBQ and boy it did not disappoint. From walking in and being greeted, the burnt ends/brisket/hamburger and sides were easily some of the best food and service we have had. They earned a 5 star in our book!

Dayne's Craft Barbecue - Hamburger, pork burnt ends, brisket, coleslaw, and Mexican street corn - Barbeque Near Me - Aledo, Texas

So it's GREAT that they open early BUT, they don't start their Q til 1030. So that was kind of a bummer. Since that was the case...kinda glad I was a little behind on getting there. Got there about 920a, thought guess I'll wait, maybe get to go, eat on road and while waiting in line for Goldee's. Ended up ordering the brisket burrito, good breakfast burrito, but wasn't what I was there for. I ended up eating the burrito and waiting til 1030 for them to start the lunch Q. Brisket shreds easily and has a good smoke to it and a good smoke ring like Q is supposed to. Ribs by itself are D-licious!!! Good evenly spread rub, fall off the bone meat. The apple coleslaw is amazing..super refreshing...I like the apple in it. Best coleslaw so far..almost same as KFC, and sorry to say that's my fav, so if you like KFC, you'll like theirs. Potato salad is good.. The people here are super friendly and seems like almost all Q spots are the friendliest...need to pass that love to other retailers read more

I am going to try to be positive... its gonna be tough. Service issues... 1) 30 minute line that should have been a 10 minute line. Slow due to no urgency by the staff. 2) my food arrived at the table by the waiter so late that my table was done eating. The manager offered to refund my money but I refused. I explained the issue and I let it go. Food wise... very good but I was annoyed and over it by the time my food came. read more

Im torn.....went there for our first time today, line moved OK, service was good....Got the brisket, ribs, pepper sausage, and an OG Burger all were cooked perfectly, not sure if what I received was a full 1LB of brisket or not but....I understand meat prices but $36 for 2 1/2 slices seems wrong.....the OG Burger is now my new favorite burger, damn its good....minus the sausage which I thought tasted weird and was too dense Id have given all the above a 5 star..... BUT, then there is this alternate universe where all their sides and single dessert lives....awful sides for the expensive tiny portions...very bland Mac n cheese, inedible elote, bland potato salad .....and the banana pudding for $8.50 should have been more than box pudding mixed with cool whip....no bananas, no cookies.....just...butterscotch chips?.....WTH? and only two sauce flavors, one was a Carolina sauce (this isnt Carolina and its weird tasting) and the second tasted like watered down ketchup with brown sugar and a drop of hot sauce in it.....not good Ive also never seen a BBQ place charge extra for pickle slices, onions or jalapeños on a $122 platter......you can rationalize meat prices, not pickles and onions would I go back?...probably not at their price points compared to quantities received....like I said meat prices are high enough why gouge us on all the little things as well this is what $122 gets ya 6 ribs 2 1/2 slices brisket (supposed to be a full LB)? burger 1 sausage link corn, Mac, potato salad 3 teas read more

Dayne's Craft Barbecue - This has a name. Can't recall ! It was enough for six people to pig out - Barbeque Near Me - Aledo, Texas

While we were in Fort Worth for a karate event, my family who loves me took me out to eat. On the ride there, they kept saying how I might not like it. They were scared they hyped it up too much. When I hear people talk like this, it worries me. My cousin said it was state ranked...etc etc. I was like wow. This place turned into a classic disappointment. Let me state this. If an establishment has to offer gimmick food for sides, there is a problem. The broccoli grape salad was recommended so much, I thought I would be having the nectar of the Gods. Nope. It was just cold, I mean not temperature. It lacked seasoning. This is coleslaws less spicy, and equally unexciting and unnecessary side that doesn't need to exist. Think the cold broccoli salad at chicken salad chic, maybe worse. It doesn't get much better. At the best places, like burnt bean, snows, franklins, and heck even coopers, the brisket comes with this wonderful bark. It's a bark that is peppery and almost too salty but it works. This brisket had neither it, nor was it tender. The jalapeño cheese sausage was not spicy, and actually felt like the ratios were off. You know grainy. The sides felt more like carnival food. A truly GREAT place lets the meat talk, and has great classic sides! We did semi like the street corn. The pulled pork was ok. The turkey was actually our favorite item! Wow was it good. The rib was tough. We did appreciate the different sauces. If it's wasn't for heavy's in Hondo, I would say this would've been the biggest bbq disappointment ever. It's also pricey. I don't know who votes on the top bbq places if it's true that it's top ten in state. I would take coopers over this place any day. It's doesn't even belong in the same breath as burnt bean, snows, frankins...I don't recommend it. For us Fort Worth was a colossal disappointment for food. We stayed for almost a week and we didn't like any of it except one sushi place. We had to find a random hole in the wall bbq place on our way out to find a decent one. It only gets a two because I didn't pay. I can't in good conscience recommend the place. read more

Barbecue Glory = Dayne's. Today's lunch search led us to Aledo, 20-30min SW of Fort Worth. How did we just find it?! You wait in a quick line to order, fill your tea/soda (or grab a beer/cocktail from the tiny bar), find a table, & your food is brought to you by the nicest staff. Meats by 1/4lb (brisket, turkey, bologna, brats, etc.), burgers, Q sandwiches... so much AND all so good. Sides are modern takes on slaw, potato salad, street corn, but the mac n cheese is something religious!!!!! Definitely worth a visit, but arrive hungry ;-) read more

Dayne's Craft Barbecue - Fried bologna melt and apple coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Aledo, Texas

Okay...I'll start by saying the food was good, not great, but the experience was horrible. Their website, google and every other website showed they opened at 7am. We tried to find out more information; what time to show up, is it full menu or select items, how long is the line at 8am, etc. We showed up around 7:45 on a Saturday. 1 person in front of us, we think we hit the jackpot. Get to the order station and my wife asks if everything on the chalkboard was gone, the cashier stated, "no, that's our list from yesterday." we also learned that at 7:45am on a Saturday that they only have BBQ Tacos and Burritos...the full menu was not available until later. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO PUT ON YOUR FRICKIN' WEBSITE!!! the website didn't even show tacos or burritos as an option. we were upset but decided to at least try a couple tacos, ordered a brisket taco, sausage taco and a barbacoa taco. the cashier stated they're out of barbacoa...yet it WASN'T on the chalkboard, but items from the previous day were. DO BETTER. food came, the brisket was good, cheese was cold and not melted at all. the tortilla was the worst tortilla in the history of soft tacos. it seemed like it was meant to be a fresh flour tortilla but cooked about 25% of the way. it was tough and doughy, NOT SOFT & FLUFFY. the sausage taco was a disappointment. it wasn't BBQ sausage links chopped up, it was breakfast sausage...NOWHERE did any sign mention this. I'm ordering a sausage taco at a bbq place and get breakfast sausage, not linked sausage...just be aware of you want to try the sausage taco. overall, bad experience...but the food wasn't horrible. we want to come back when they have a full menu and hope they make the additions to the menu about breakfast only before 11am and that the sausage taco is breakfast sausage, not link sausage. read more
