    Brisket Ribs Deviled Eggs Smoked Baked Beans Blue Cheese Slaw
    Hallie S.

    I am drooling looking back on this photo from Lockhart Smokehouse in Dallas. The deviled eggs were amazing, and the blue cheese slaw was incredible. My favorite sides I've ever ordered at a BBQ joint by far. The brisket was delicious and I nibbled the ribs dry. I wish I lived in Dallas so I could come back often, but I'll settle for the next time I visit. We played credit card roulette when paying and our cashier was very friendly to pick which card and play along. It's an order and pick your own seat, so casual vibes with delicious food. We came during the week and it wasn't packed, the food was done quick in front of us and ready to eat with bbq sauce at our table,

    Quality TX brisket with salt and pepper bark. The Kruez Original sausage had good flavor without being overwhelming. The service is quick. Pay at the counter while they slice the meat. Lots of neon lights for cool vibes.

    We came here on a weekend and the service was not that great. The workers were not helpful when we asked specific questions about the menu. They were also sold out on multiple sides. The brisket was not flavorful and dry. The sides tasted as though they were purchased from an outside vendor. We did not feel welcomed and ate as fast as we could so we could leave. We will not be returning.

    Continuing on our Texas hunt for the best Texas barbecue we went to Lockhart smokehouse. There, we got their weekly special, which was a brisket pastrami, their brisket, as well as some baked beans and mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was very standard. It wasn't anything special. The baked beans were all good but again nothing special The really neat dish that they offered which was the brisket pastrami was really tender and it's more so of a marinated brisket and there isn't really much of a pastrami vibe except for its vibrant pinkish color. The brisket was very tender, but a bit too fatty in some spots. Still, very soft and it just falls apart really well. Nice staff and quick service. You order your meets at the back of the bar.

    Deviled Eggs
    Audrey S.

    The deviled eggs were so good. I have never seen brisket flavored deviled eggs and these were amazing. The beans were also great. I ordered a quarter pound brisket and it was enough for me. Snagged street parking on a monday night right next to the restaurant and there was no line. Mac and cheese was a little too gooey for my taste, but still good.

    Ordered catering for my sons' birthday party and the food was phenomenal. I ordered brisket, ribs, and salmon for the main courses along with mac and cheese, baked beans, and Caesar salad for the sides. The food was amazing and everyone loved it. The order was also ready on time and the customer service was great. Strongly recommend Lockhart for anyone looking for some real quality Texas BBQ.

    Prime rib, pork Ribs, Turkey
    Alex B.

    The meat was awesome and the blue cheese coleslaw was slap yo mama' good! The prime rib (seasonal) was a standout star. Deep flavor in the crust, big globes of delicious fat, and super juicy soft medium rare meat. Turkey was super moist and a white meat cut - so that's always impressive. Pork ribs were good, not great. I have yet to find pork ribs the way I like them in the 20+ Texas bbq spots I've been. I hesitated between 4 and 5 stars, but the in-house bbq sauce was amazing and the service was probably the friendliest I can recall at a bbq place in quite some time. Located in the ultra cool bishop arts, you would not expect to find grade premium Texas BBQ - yet here it is! Very fun ambiance. The walls are covered in cool Texas stuff. Not cheap but not expensive. I will be back if I'm in the area!

    Sunday night dinner. Restaurant isn't full and there's barely a line. Service was extremely attentive and kind. Meat * Jalapeño popper (5/5) * Brisket (3/5) - some fatty, some super lean * Ribs (2/5) - so dry Sides * mac n cheese (5/5) * cole slaw (4/5) Clean up service was great, we were checked on multiple times. Loved the AYCE pickles you can grab on the side

    My plate of chicken, brisket, turkey and ribs

    This place was delicious! As a foodie from the north, I always make it a priority to get some good Texas bbq when I'm down here. Terry Blacks blew my mind, and Lockhart followed it up well with some generous portions, succulent seasonings and a flavorful array of smoked meats and sides. Everything was very good. Nothing was excellent. That's my only negative comment. This place does everything very well, but nothing really blew me away. Texas is known for its brisket, and yet the brisket at Lockhart was good - just not like mind-blowingly good. If you're a diehard BBQ fan and are expecting excellence, Lockhart might not be the place for you. But pretty much anybody else outside of this sphere is sure to be wowed by their powerfully aromatic spread of tender, salty, heavily seasoned meats.

    Bacon wrapped jalapeño
    Andrew M.

    Honestly for my first time in Texas I was expecting some great bbq and I heard about this place. It was a little disappointing. The food wasn't the best. Ribs were dry, brisket wasn't very flavorful and the jalapeño didn't make sense. It was stuffed with "brisket" but it just looked like mush. Best part was the Mac n cheese. You go up to the cashier and order at the window. And all the food is ready and they just give it to you wrapped in paper. Is that normal for bbq places in Texas? I thought it was weird. Place itself is chill and people working were friendly.

    It's a Tuesday and the line is long. This BBQ must b good.
    Ken P.

    I'm back a year later and it's a ghost of what it was. Ribs dryed to the point of becoming beef jerky on the ends. Chicken is smoked but flavor only on the skin. It's almost as if someone has lost their love for cooking. Bartender was not knowledgeable about the drinks. At minimum she should know which beer goes good with their bbq. The pic I have is of the olden day when people would waiting and line up outside for their food.

    Elisabeth M.

    Yes. Eat here. The staff is super nice and welcoming. I came by myself and they made me feel right at ease. I went for the Brisket sandwich and the banana pudding is yummy too.

Ordered Turkey, Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage and Mac and Cheese on the 2 meat combo plate. First off, that was $27 which I thought was rather high but with the hype I thought it might be worth it. The turkey was tender and juicy and rather flavorful, except for the end piece of turkey breast (I assume) with the skin side which was extremely tough. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was okay, but it didn't really retain either the jalapeño, cheddar, or the smoky taste which I thought was disappointing. The Mac and Cheese had bacon bits on it which were nice and crispy but the Mac and Cheese wasn't very rich or complex flavor wise, which I found slightly underwhelming. The sauce was super runny and while it had flavor, I never think having to put sauce on stuff to give it flavor is the answer. All that being said, for $27 I wasn't going to leave anything on the plate. The service I thought was rather hands off and I'm surprised nobody came and checked on us although that may be just how things are. The ambiance was cool with old license plates and pictures along with some cool western themed things up on the walls to make it seem warm and homey. All in all, I was left with the feeling that there should've been more and I was kinda disappointed after all the hype I've seen and all the gravitas that the name Pecan Lodge carries with it. I'd say probably a 6.5-7/10 so that lands me at 3 stars because it really didn't feel 4 star worthy.

Only opened Friday - Sunday, on my most recent Sunday visit around dinner time, Kafi was packed. The patrons were a great mix of families, BBQ lovers, and those looking for high quality Halal meats. Smoke was in the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is super friendly and nice. Pro Tip - Go for lunch or before 6 before items are sold out. A few items were sold out on my most recent visit (my fault I arrived at 6:45) and the staff weren't aware of what was available, leading to some confusion, but they were so nice it didn't impact my meal. 1 Star. Food - By now, you've probably read or heard about Kafi's Wagyu Brisket. For me, I love following @kafibbq on Instagram so I can see what Salahodeen is cooking up. On this visit, it was the Brisket Sandwich. First off, the house baked bread roll is soft, but firm enough to hold Kafi's famous brisket on a pile of home made cole slaw and pickles. The result was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've eaten. The bite was soft, smokey, crunchy, and tart (from the pickles). It was a special, and I'm not sure if Kafi will keep this on the menu, but I hope they do. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's pricey, but it's worth it. While the brisket is great, I suggest you follow them on Instagram to see what's cooking and plan your visit around the specialty items. 1 Star.
