"Wonderful experience here! Fun atmosphere with great outdoor seating at Texas Live. They were slammed as we went before a Ranger’s game but the service was wonderful and the food was delicious! Lots of cool pictures on the walls- worth taking some time to check that out. Highly recommend!"

It was really cool that the bartender remembered us when we came back Sunday before our flight to Cleveland. He was EXCELLENT very nice friendly and hospitable. Made my wife and our visit to Texas BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️ THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE ❤️👍🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️"

"Authentic bbq experience with a lively atmosphere. Had the ribs and brisket, found the brisket butter tender, but a bit greasy and needing sauce for flavor. The ribs peeled right off the bone and did not need a drop of sauce. The sides were a mixed bag; the mac'n cheese was awesome and so cheesy. The deviled eggs and slaw are a little blah, but serious props for the puckery dill pickles."

5 Best BBQ Restaurants in Arlington, TX
Lockhart Smokehouse – Arlington is the only place in the DFW area where you can obtain the Kreuz Market Sausage, in addition to beloved Texas standards including brisket, turkey and other meats smoked low and slow over Texas post oak. Just like the original, their meat is served on butcher paper. Day by day, they fire up the great smoked meat classics that make Lockhart the “Barbecue Capital of Texas”.

I find that Lockhart Smokehouse in the Bishop Arts district of Dallas has the best meat of Dallas-area BBQ joints; a couple other places are also worth trying especially if you find the side dishes to be an important part of the meal (Lockhart's sides are somewhat of an after-thought), including Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum (expect lines) and Babb Bros. in Trinity Groves
