the slow bone barbeque

the bone has some unique and original style q especially for dfw. you'll love it or hate it but you need to come find out which way you lean. my favorite of the 3 meats i tried was the brisket. several reviewers have mentioned it's fatty, a bit much for me but great flavor, bark and moistness. the ribs were a bit dry, not too bad. they let the dry rub shine through, that's one of the unique parts, i can't put my finger on it, southwest? different. the chicken was good, dark meat was moist but there's that flavor again, better on the chicken in my opinion. thesidesshow that originally again, the brussel sprouts and cauliflower casserole was my favorite. good crunch and taste. the sweet potato casserole was good also thou leaning to the sweet side. the people and service were terrific, really into their place. another cool note, a goodie bar with jalapeño & carrot relish, chimichurri sauce, bread & butter pickles etc. a big thumbs up for fresh cut lime by the drinks!

not impressed. very disappointed,small portions,on cafeteria divided tray, fried okra dry and cold, alsosideswere 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

we had the chicken and a chopped sandwich both were good, thesideslooked good enough to have only eaten those

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. brisket has a over smoked taste as does the pork. ribs are very goodsideswell above average. i just can get past the better that y'all attitude of owner.

not sure about this place. went for a late lunch on a sat. was not super hungry and menu board was sort of unclear but saw 1/2 lb of meat was $6.99 so i asked about getting a sliced beef sandwich and a couple of sides. manager?? cut meat and placed on plate and handed off to another worker. guess i don't get bread with a sandwich. oh well picked out twosidesand asked for water to drink. total was $14.06 asked two different people what 1/2 lb was and got two fairly non interested answers so let it drop.sideswere good and hot but meat was barely warm and had little smoky flavor. sauce was average. managers?? were more interested in eating behind the counter than interacting with customers. maybe i was at a wrong place at a wrong time but i was not impressed with a place that someone put a lot of time and effort in making it unique but if they don't care why should i??

the metal under thesidesbar is extremely hot. be careful! i scalded my knee and the rude manager, ian tate, said he would do nothing more to protect people or children from injuring themselves. he says there is a warning sign there but i can't remember seeing it so just be careful when you go. if you get burned like i did, apparently, you'll just get yelled at.
