the slow bone barbeque

ordered the two meat platter for lunch: brisket and ribs with friedokra(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. the brisket had 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).

not impressed. very disappointed,small portions,on cafeteria divided tray, friedokradry and cold, also sides were very small portions. i'm from dallas there are lots better places than this, macs on main or bakers rib on commerce. sad that visitors at the anatole think this is good texas 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 the brisket and ribs), the brisket, ribs, andokrawill 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 of brisket and 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. the brisket and ribs were absolutely fantastic. lots of bark on the brisket and 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 the brisket and ribs. the beans and hush puppies were good, but the friedokrawas perfect. it was some of the best friedokrai 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
