Pecan Lodge - Dallas

Still the best brisket in Dallas!!! You just have to deal with it he parking and grungy neighborhood!!

Came all the way from Canada for this. BBQ is amazing. Last time we came the line up was insane, happy to see it is a bit easier to get in now, but steady line all day. So happy we came back this year.

I was excited to try this place for some “real bbq” while visiting Dallas. The line was around the room when I walked in so my expectations were extremely high. I ended up extremely underwhelmed after trying the brisket (dry and flavorless) and burnt ends. I rate the food 6/10. The service was good and though it was packed in there, there was ample seating inside and outside.

The service was quick, and the atmosphere is what you would expect from a well-known BBQ spot. My only issue was that half of my burnt ends were fat, and the brisket was on the salty side. The meat was tender, and I can tell they know how to smoke their meat. I just didn't get what I thought I was going to get. Price for half pound brisket 2 slices and half a pound burnt ends 4 pieces with tax was over $35. I almost forgot that parking is hard to find, so be ready to drive around looking for an open spot that you will have to pay unless you get lucky and find a free spot.

The atmosphere was great, the service was good even though it was very busy. The food was awesome and it was worth the wait.
