"Dallas has plenty of time-honored barbecue places, but none of them do gloriously smoky, succulent brisket like Pecan Lodge. Still capable of creating lengthy lines, the smoked meats at Pecan Lodge are an essential Dallas experience. It’s the place to go for a loaded tray of barbecue and sides anchored by brisket. Note that this place adheres firmly to the idea that barbecue is an early-in-the-day meal, so go for lunch and not dinner. It serves food until it runs out for the day." - Eater Staff
