the slow bone barbeque

walking distance from the hotel anatole--big plus! amazingbrisketand side dishes! great find...

ordered the two meat platter for lunch:brisketand ribs with fried okra (dried shriveled up tasteless pellets) and an unusual cauliflower/brussels sprouts salad made like a potato salad (equally bone dry and tasteless). the sauce helped both a little, but barely.
but what about the meats: ribs were meaty with a hint of smoke, moist, and generally good. thebriskethad a more pronounced smokey flavor, my moist-requested cut was indeed moist, and way better than the ribs. i'm in love.
this is a small place with a smaller parking lot, so carpool with your companions and when you are done eating get up and leave (not like the two business people next to me who hogged a four-top, pulled out spreadsheets and started working the whole time i ate. pigs).

the smoked turkey sandwich was very moist and tasty, and thebrisketbeans tasted fantastic! a great place for lunch!

this is hands-down some of the best bbq in dallas, especially for the prices. thebrisketis great. the cheddar and jalapeño stuffed sausage is amazing! i also tried the beef ribs which were exceptional (those that eat beef ribs know how hard it is to find a good beef rib.) the jalapeño mac & cheese, buttered squash and horseradish mashed potatoes are all excellent choices. the staff and customer service are also above average. they are only open from 11am-3pm, and because of the limited parking in their lot, i recommend getting there as close to 11 as possible. also, the cover to noon and you will be standing in the long line out the door. don't let the parking deter you. there is a warehouse across the street and i see that a number of people park there where parking is plentiful and walk across the street.

bestbrisketand fried chicken in dallas! friendly, efficient service but can get. yay during lunchtime rush. can't go wrong with slow bone for getting your bbq fix.

best bbqbrisketi have ever eaten. the rub is awesome. can cut thebrisketwith a fork. sauce is tangy and not too sweet. cauliflower brussels sprout casserole is to die for

really great bbq. i had chicken andbrisketand both were delicious. good homemade mac n cheese plus delicious tomato cucumber salad. we had food from here at my office and everyone seemed to really like it. i would go there for sure.

could have been better. the food was tender and the bark on the q was good. you wait in line to place your order and go through a cafeteria line of sorts before you are seated. the place is nothing fancy by any standard. the owners don't invest in the facility, that is for certain. my main complaint was that ribs andbrisketwere very fat. i know they use a very long and slow process but it fails to render a large amount of the fat. i have not seen this much fat in bbq food in a long time. some people like the juicy, fat and tender q. if this is you, this is your place. unlike a lot of places, the sauces tend toward the sweet side. again, not a complaint per-se but an observation. if you like sweet sauces, this place is for you. i would probably not go back because of the fat and the fact that the price was a little steep for lunch although the portions are generous.

excellent texas bbq.brisketmoist.
veggies yummy & fresh.
i didn't really care for the bbq sauce but just my preference.

disgusting. two strikes your out! without a doubt the worst food and especially the choppedbrisketi have ever tried to eat. left most on the plate as was nothing but a salty, greasy mess. greasy okra, slaw with mustard that was uneatible, horrible potato salad, bland nothing but boiled squash. out labor day outing was ruined! our first visit several weeks ago was bad and today was the worst. lesson learned!

just don't get it!. owner is as rude as they come. if you say anything other than his product is perfect his defensive demeanor rises to the top. he has a decent product in an area where there is no other to speak of.briskethas a over smoked taste as does the pork. ribs are very good sides well above average. i just can get past the better that y'all attitude of owner.

drybrisket- no difference between the moist (fatty) end and the lean end. the bark was excessively bitter. ribs ok - meaty and moist. sausage is no better than grocery store variety. all meats screamed for a hit of seasoning - just salt would work. skimpy sides. expensive prices for knock-off bbq.

i will be going back to the slow bone to eat. although disappointed with the sausage and the barbecue sauce (which wasn't needed for thebrisketand ribs), the brisket, ribs, and okra will have me coming back. the slow bone gets a 8 on my 10-point scale. i would not consider this place a top tier barbecue joint like pecan lodge, but it was still very good. right now, i would prefer to go to the slow bone because the lines are much shorter (at least for now). before i left, i made sure i got a pound ofbrisketand a half-rack of ribs to go so i could enjoy some good barbecue for the rest of the week.

excellent bbq for dfw. as soon as you enter the restaurant, there is a cafeteria style line where you can choose your meats, hot sides, cold sides, and bread (either corn bread or hush puppies). i ordered the brisket, the st. louis style ribs, and the "old time" sausage. for sides, i got beans, fried okra, and hush puppies. thebrisketand ribs were absolutely fantastic. lots of bark on thebrisketand the ribs had a fantastic rub that was sweet, with a hint of spicy. the sausage wasn't particularly impressive, but it wasn't bad either. it just paled in comparison to thebrisketand ribs. the beans and hush puppies were good, but the fried okra was perfect. it was some of the best fried okra i have ever had. my brother also let me try a piece of his pork loin, which was decent, but not great. to aid in digestion, i got the apple-mint iced tea, which was very refreshing
