Barbecue Food Dallas
Best Barbecue Restaurants

• Local or Independently owned
• Regional Chain
• National Chain

There are very few large national chains of barbecue restaurants. However, there are many small to medium size regional chains. Normally if a regional chain is in a geographic area they will have several locations in that geographic area for their restaurants. For our listings we only list the restaurant one time even though there may be five or ten restaurants of that chain in the metropolitan area.

Check on the restaurant's web site for specific location information. It is not unusual for the local or independently owned barbecue food restaurant to be located remotely in a rural town outside the major metropolitan area. Not so for the regional chain - their restaurants are normally located in a high traffic area with many other types of restaurants. Many of the local barbecue restaurants also sell food products via their web site. So if you have a great meal while traveling at one of these local barbecue restaurants - order some food via the internet to be shipped to you and enjoy a meal with family and/or friends.

Here are some of our barbecue food Dallas recommendations:

Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse - Regional Chain - In 1910 Elias Bryan moved his family to Dallas from Cincinnati and opened the first Bryan 's Barbecue. His son, William Jennings Bryan, (known as Red for his hair) opened his own restaurant in Oak Cliff, Texas in 1935. Working with his Dad was William Jennings Bryan Jr., who was known as "Sonny". Sonny left Red in 1958 and opened his own restaurant on February 13th, the same day his Daddy and Granddaddy opened their restaurants. Since that time the legend has spread nationwide, in fact worldwide! Sonny's reputation for friendly service and melt-in-your-mouth barbecue has fed U.S. Presidents, famous entertainers, sports legends, and other famous patrons.

Baker's Ribs - Regional - Folks are pretty picky when it comes to eating barbecue.  Heck, in Texas, it's not just food, it's a tradition.  That's why at Baker's Ribs we tenderly slow smoke our meats over real hickory logs using our own family recipes and a smoker that, well, we INVENTED!  It takes a little time ... but you can't hurry good taste.

Clark's Outpost - Local - Clark's Outpost was founded in 1974 by the late Warren Clark. We are approximately 50 miles North of Dallas on U.S. Highway 377 located in Toga Texas, the birthplace of the legendary singing cowboy Gene Autry.Toga is a small town with a laid back attitude and that's how we do things at Clark's. Our cooking style is a slow process, it takes eight hours just to smoke our Ribs, Brisket will be on the smoker for three and a half days. Turkeys and other products fall somewhere in between. You see Warren grew up in the days when people had an Old Smoke House out back, where it might take a week or more to cook and cure meats. It was his belief, and ours now, that for the product to really be good and true you have to take your time.We have been fortunate enough to be listed or featured in some of the top books, magazines and news organizations over the years. Some of these include Zagat, Travel and Leisure, Texas Highways, Gourmet, Bon Appetite, Southern Living, Ride Magazine, and People Magazine who ranked us one of the Top 10 Barbecue places in the country. The list goes on from articles in The Dallas Morning News to appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS.
