Heim Barbecue
Dallas, United States
Travis and Emma Heim started Heim in a Fort Worth trailer in 2015, and the bacon burnt ends they became known for now pull queues across North Texas. This Mockingbird Lane location, open since 2020, runs the Central Texas style daily, 11 to 9 — post oak, brisket, ribs, and a farm-to-smoker approach where the sourcing matters as much as the fire.
Hurtado Barbecue

Pecan Lodge
Dallas, United States
Justin and Diane started Pecan Lodge in 2010 on Main Street in Dallas. They cook over mesquite and oak in an offset pit — the kind of setup that doesn't cut corners and doesn't need to. Texas barbecue, built to last.
Slow Bone
Dallas, United States
Jeffery Hobbs opened Slow Bone in 2013 on Irving Boulevard in Dallas. The menu runs to prime brisket—lean or fatty, your call—St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, and fried chicken, backed by made-from-scratch sides. Everything comes off Miss Jessie, the smoker that runs daily. It's straightforward work: smoke meat, sell it at lunch, close when it's gone. No fuss, no pretense. Texas Monthly took notice. If you're on Irving, you know where to find it.
Ten50 BBQ
Dallas, United States
Salt, pepper, smoke and time — Ten50 keeps the Central Texas method short and does the long part properly, with pitmasters pulling twelve-hour shifts. This Dallas location on West Lovers Lane opens at 10:50 (the name is the address) and runs to nine, later on weekends. Modern room, Southern welcome, brisket that earns the wait. The brand started in 2014.
Terry Black's Barbecue
Dallas, United States
Terry Black's Dallas, open since 2019, is one of the Black family's outposts — twin brothers Michael and Mark Black carrying the Lockhart barbecue name their father Terry gave it. Central Texas brisket and ribs over smoke, the way the family has done it for four generations. Open daily, mid-morning to late.
