    Perfect.
    Mate R.

    This is an easy 5. I can't get this in California. I can't make it any better. Actually, I don't do smoked wings very well, so Pecan Lodge has me beat. The wings were as good as can be. Subtle & distinct rub. Very crisp but juicy. Nice smoke. 4 excellent sauces if you want them. The Dino beef rib was perfect. Salt & pepper infused. Moist with right texture, not fall off the bone, some gentle pull, but bendy...which is the best way in my opinion . Likewise for the brisket! The sides were perfect, the crisp slaw was tangy & not drowning in sauce. The potato salad was infused with scallions. Also right amount of dressing. Well seasoned. The biggest compliment: you really need no sauces for the meat. Thats what great BBQ should be. Maybe small dabs intermittently. Mind you, the sauces are awesome, but I preferred vinegar for beef & blue cheese for wings. Again: sparingly, letting the meat shine. If I have to critique a 5 star: maybe have a heat lamp. Because even the best brisket can get dry if you linger. Out of 4 big pieces, half a piece got a bit dry, but the rest stayed succulent. Ha ha. Nice staff. Nice guests during the football World Cup. You order & get from counter. $135 for 1.5 lbs beef ribs, 0.5lbs brisket, 12 wings, pint slaw, pint potato salad, & soft drink. My son & me splurged, very happy happy.

    Hand crafted Cherry Limeade
    Jaime O.

    You walk in and order at the front. All drinks are picked up at the bar and food comes pretty fast to the window. Seating is open and they have tables outside. Hand crated cherry limeade was good, more cheery than lime, but good! Pork sandwich and Mac-n-cheese was so good with bacon on Top! The only downside, they only have spicy bbq sauce. Sandwich did t need it, but would have been nice. Food was delicious and staff were friendly! Lots of tvs to watch games around d the whole place.

    So when you look up best bbq. This comes up. We love Terry Blacks. We are not Texas natives. But the reviews did not disappoint!!! Beef ribs were sold out. We got pork ribs brisket, jalapeño sausage. Meat was fall off the bone. I mean so tender it falls apart on touch. Use your fingers to grab because it's slippery. You don't need sauce!! Collards ----- wow Okra good but I'm biased-- my mom makes fierce okra Bartender Emily amazing!! Blackberry mango margarita was on point

    Fantastic BBQ place and great service. Come here before the lines get long. Arrived at 10:30 on a Friday so not bad for the lines. Family oriented and great time to spend with friends. There's TVs to watch the games.

    Things change. People change. Tables turn. Bridges burn. Ya live & ya learned: I learned this is my fav Q spot in DFW area. I love Q, i grew up cooking on charcoal Websters, & old wood smokers filled with oak food off the coast & in the riparian hills of the Pacific. Chicken, tri tip, etc.. But THIS. IMO. PECAN LODGE IS THEE DEFINITION OF TEXAS Q. All the meat was not too rich, hardy, moist, fall apart, smoke rings & surprisingly i was astounded by the pork rib quality the most. Surprisingly not as salty as i thought especially since ima salty person. Lol Enjoy!

    I've been to Pecan Lodge multiple times, and it's definitely one of the most famous BBQ spots in Dallas. Deep Ellum is also a fun area to explore, so it makes for a nice stop if you're visiting. I really enjoy their brisket and ribs, and the sides are pretty decent as well. It's not the cheapest BBQ, and I do wish the portions were a little more generous, but the flavor is solid. If you're visiting, I'd recommend showing up early. Like many famous BBQ places, the popular items can sell out pretty quickly. Parking tip: try using the parking lot under I-45 nearby.

    Brisket was okay and sausage was delicious
    Mark F.

    Yes it's good BBQ but there are higher standards in Texas and this doesn't blow you away in the same way some of the greats in this State do. I came on a Tuesday night and it was pretty empty. I was alone so I got just the brisket, the jalapeno cheddar sausage, the jalapeno hominy, collard greens, and the banana pudding. The brisket was fine. Some bites were tender, juicy, nice salty balance, and other bites were dry and lacked flavor. Overall inconsistent. The sausage was pretty good as the cheese wasn't overly rich and had a nice spice to it. The collard greens were a little on the sweet side which I didn't love. The jalapeno hominy were delicious as the slight cheddar flavor with a little heat was a pleasant contrast for something that can be pretty bland by itself. The banana pudding was delicious. Not overly sweet, creamy and rich but not so heavy after a heavy main course. I like the vibe but it's fun when a BBQ place carves the slices in front of you. The service is fine. It overall looks like a fun place to go and given how they have live music, etc. it's clear that's what they're going for. But I prefer a place that's focused on its craft over vibe.

    Mac and cheese, pork sausage, peach cobbler, burnet ends in the middle.
    Michael C.

    This place definitely has a good reputation, but my experience ended up being pretty middle of the road. The interior is extremely casual (almost "busted" in a sense). It feels like it's trying to lean into a rustic barbecue aesthetic, but it ends up coming across more cheap and old than intentionally charming. It's not quite the atmosphere I expected given how popular the place is. The food was a mixed bag. The burnt ends were okay, but honestly nothing special. They were fine, just not the standout I was expecting. The pork sausage was actually pretty good flavor-wise, but the casing was really tough. I had to bite down pretty hard to get through it, which was not the most pleasant experience. The mac and cheese had a tiny bit of spice to it, which I liked, but the texture was more mealy than creamy. For dessert I had the peach cobbler. It was decent, but leaned a little too granola heavy for my taste and did not quite bake together the way I expected. I was hoping for something more cohesive and gooey. Overall, it wasn't a terrible meal, but it also wasn't good... This place didn't live up to the hype at all.

    Sausage, Mac and cheese, turkey, brisket
    Macy C.

    Good classic BBQ. Would go again but was surprised that the reviews are as high as they are. Did not think it stuck out much compared to other BBQ places I've been Good if you just want classic BBQ. Staff was very nice and atmosphere was good.

    Pork ribs , collards and Mac n cheese
    Stacey C.

    Really enjoyed the food . Meats were cooked so well. Brisket was my fav. Mac n cheese and potato salad was really good . Collards were sweet I did not care for them.

    THREE MEAT PLATE
    Marie G.

    Ordered take out and wow - it lives up to the hype. The turkey was thickly sliced. The sausage was a full piece and the pork rib was large. All were tasty and all did not taste the same- sometimes you get a three meat platter and all the meat has the same sauce on it that was not the case here each meat at its own individual flavor. The other thing I liked about the food here is that the smoke taste is not overwhelming. I have had barbecue from many places across Texas and sometimes I can't eat it because the smoke smell is so strong that I am totally turned off and don't want to eat the food. Here. It was so so mild. it was perfect.

    Brisket and pork ribs
    Terrance G.

    I haven't been here in a while but was in the area so had to stop and get a to go meal. It's as delicious as i remember. The turkey was juicy and melt in your mouth the waffle fries had a brisket dusting they put on it which was perfect and the wings were smoked to perfection. Service was quick and efficient as well and even though there were many others there, that's normal, i got my food quickly.

    MAC 'N CHEESE
    Justin W.

    Pecan Lodge is one of my top three BBQ spots in DFW. The price and location can't be beat. The food is fantastic, and the customer service is excellent, with staff who are friendly and attentive. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth visiting.

    No, they have street parking

    Is there a decent selection of vegan options? Or dishes that can be easily modified to make them vegan?

    You can order it that way

    Is this place nut allergy friendly?

    Is the meat used here organic or pasture raised?

    When it tastes like this? Who cares.

    Is this place open until 8pm or 9pm on Saturday's? It says 8pm on their phone but 9pm on Yelp.

    They are open until they run out of food.

    Is Pecan Lodge open on Veteran's day? If so what does the hours look like?

    Contact them directly.

    Do the pinto beans have pork in it?

    I believe so but call them directly to be sure

    How much is it for like 2 ppl and is this a good place for a date sort of things lol?

    It is pretty expensive if you want try everything. The sides are not very good. I would say $50/person. If you get the beef rib it is even pricier. They also weigh the meat after you pay which is annoying. We actually had a way better experience at… 

    Apple pay? Pay by cell phone?

    Card only for right now and Samsung pay

    When is a good time to go for dinner? What time do they typically run out of food?

    Varies from day to day. The beef ribs usually run out before 3pm dinner is good time around 6

    No.

    Back open or only takeout?

    Back open. Limited inside and patio open also.

    Can we Dine In?

    Yes, Pecan Lodge is available for dine-in. We were just there on October 12 and they had a few tables inside spaced pretty far apart and plenty of outdoor seating. You wait in line outside and order your food just inside the entry and then can… 

    Do they serve wine?

    Yes. They have a full bar.

    Can you make a reservation?

    First come, first served from my experience. Line starts forming way before they open and usually bends around the block.

    Does anyone know hours for New Years Day? I tried calling but no answer.

I was instantly reminded why it is such a Dallas GEM! I did not pop in to eat this time, but to find a nice spot to work with a friend on our laptops and yap over a coffee! And while we weren't planning to do much, the experience was still a 10/10! I ended up ordering a White Chocolate latte and it was AMAZING! You can tell they actually put time and effort into their coffee and lattes! Everything is also brewed fresh! Which I love! My friend ordered a artesian hot chocolate and wow! It was probably some of the best hot chocolate I have ever had! It was def made with real cocoa! We did end up splurging on some pastries, because DUH! It's it so hard to ignore the bakery section when it is so stunning and filled with beautiful baked goods! I got a oreo croissant and tortuga concha! I did not eat them (My bf did) but they looked so great! I did try my friends banana custard filled bread and that was great! I would go back for it!

The pupusas were very obviously frozen prior and reheated. The beans were very flavorless and looked cold, not much flavor from the ranchero sauce they top a lot of egg dishes with.

I remember the gourmet Eatzi's phenomenon when the chain had a Houston location, which has been closed for almost 20 years. Although I've read Eatzi's may in fact return to Houston, I'll believe it when I see it. What I've always liked about Eatzi's is the high quality and variety of cuisine on offer. For some reason, this time I settled on hummus, but also saw lots of other cool choices, including sushi. Bread is baked in-house and lots of people seem to like the made to order sandwiches and prepared foods.

I ordered two sandwiches through the DoorDash app for pickup. The app clearly stated that the sandwiches came with chips and potato salad, which is why I chose that option instead of ordering a different special. When I arrived at the restaurant, I still had to wait in line before reaching the cashier. When I finally got to the counter, she handed me my sandwiches and then told me that I had ordered chips and potato salad but had not paid for them. I calmly explained that the app showed those items as included with the sandwich. Instead of resolving the situation professionally, she told me she needed to call the owner. She then had me step aside while she helped three other customers, leaving me waiting awkwardly off to the side. When the owner finally called her back, she spoke to him loudly (almost argumentatively) about me being there and "claiming" the sandwiches came with chips and potato salad. It was embarrassing because other customers could clearly hear what was happening. Ultimately, I was told the owner said the sandwiches did not come with those sides. At that point, I just took my sandwiches and left. The entire situation felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. If there was a mix-up with the app, that isn't the customer's fault. Good customer service would have been to honor what was displayed in the app and clarify the issue internally afterward. Instead, I left feeling frustrated and embarrassed. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had.
