Smokey Joe's BBQ

A Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joint, this Oak Cliff institution has been smoking meats since 1985 and recently transitioned to Central Texas-style offset smokers for even better results. The brisket arrives with a pronounced smoke ring and a well-rendered fat cap, and the house-made pies are worth saving room for after the ribs. The straightforward, unpretentious setting is exactly what good Texas barbecue should feel like. Order the brisket sandwich and a side of potato salad, and ask about the rib special.
