Thanks, I'll check it out!

Rudy's Rocks!

Howdy Robbi,
In Dallas if you aren't good, you don't survive. There's a lot of good bbq joints. Try Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse on N. Saint Paul Street. Rudys is good but I am partial to Sonnys! Really, I have the best. Oh, by the way. Give them a call when you get into Dallas and they will give you directions. 214-978-0102. Good 'que' and nice folks.

If you are in for little drive, you need to try Clark's Outpost in Tioga. Clark's is a nationally recognized bbq joint (not a fancy place) in the birthplace of Gene Autry. Go here for more information: http://www.guidelive.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,97400&_...=PORTAL&item_id=3106

Well, call me different, but I didn't like the sauce at Rudy's. LOVE the store, really neat concept.

I'll defer to the locals on recommendations.

Robbi,

Go into Rudy's and you can tell them "I've never had....xxx" and they'll let you try a sample. The food comes out on butcher paper.

Sonny's to me has a reputation (like Arthur's in KC) that doesn't always serve up great. Like all restaurants, it's a timing thing, sometimes the stuff is good and sometimes...

For me, I'm trying to remember the name of the BBQ Chain that took the Hooters concept and combined it with BBQ (they have one in Dallas and Austin). They also have a Caribbean chain. Food's average but the Scenary is spectacular.

SmokinOkie: You may be thinking of a place called Bone Daddy's. It's the Hooters of bbq. The Bone Daddy's in Dallas is located on the southwest corner of I75 and Spring Valley.

Yup, that's the one. Took my son there for his 16th Birthday (he's a little Q'er himself) and he got his photo with ALL the staff. 3 years later it's still on his wall.

And after I talked to their cook, their Q improved

what did you tell the cook???? Kathy

This thread go me thinking of Rudys, so I took the family there last night... I really love the brisket there. I don't like the sausage. I can see how some may not like the sauce, very spicy. All in all, Rudys is my favorite brisket place, to the point, I'm wondering if I have any business spending $1500 on the Amerique I've been waiting for all year... Rudy's is only 15 minutes away...

I didn't like the BoneDaddys in Austin, I went there just after they opened though, maybe they were still working things out.

Next time I'm in the metro plex, I'll have to look up Sonnys, or Clarks outpost.

Thanks, all, I'll try to hit them both! I'll be there during the week, so hopefully with less traffic than a weekend Sonny's will live up to the advertisement.
