Pecan Lodge - Dallas,TX

Holy Trinity at Pecan Lodge

Pecan Lodge

Located in Shed #2 at the Dallas Farmers' Market, Pecan Lodge, is a Dallas barbecue hot spot. This place has also been included in Texas Monthly magazine as one of the top 50 barbecue places in Texas.  The tricky thing about getting barbecue here is they are only open Wednesday through Sunday and they start serving at 11 AM until sold out which usually means before 2 PM.  They even have a cut off sign which they give to the lucky person who will be more than likely the last one served to hold.  Those unlucky souls standing behind this person may or may not get to taste some of their damn good barbecue. I would suggest getting there early.  Early being about 10:30 AM, not as early as the one to two hours required to get into Franklin Barbecue in Austin.

I ordered my usual sampling of ribs, sausage, and brisket.  It's all good here and it's all done right, you wont be disappointed. The ribs were smoky and the meat came off the bone easily with each bite.  Sausage is made onsite with a nice natural casing and a good blend of cuts ground into a medium coarse grind with just the right amount of smoke. I leave the brisket for last.  It has the perfect seasoning of salt and pepper, great bark, and it's very tender.  I suggest ordering the "moist" cut for the most enjoyment of one of the top three briskets you can find in Dallas. Lockhart Smokehouse and Hutchins have the other "best" Dallas brisket. I highly recommend this Pecan Lodge just remember to get there early, they sell out fast!

I'm heading to Austin this weekend to check out Stiles Switch BBQ and Schmidt Family Barbecue (just opened last month and it's a new place of the Lockhart Schmidts). I will report back on these two BBQ joints in future posts.  I'm taking the week of Thanksgiving off from the blog but will post my opinion of Mike Anderson's BBQ in Dallas in my next post.  So until then BBQ fans!!
