Coming to Dallas!!

Ill be in Dallas FW area mid-June for RW work, and looking to see what I can get into lol

I want to find a country bar with real cowboys!!

I might do a few massages when there--after I check out your market.

And I want some real GOOD BBQ!!

Any volunteers to be my tour guide? Originally Posted by chellachella

Fort Worth has far better BBQ than Dallas.

In order of greatness:
1. BBQ on the Brazos - small mom and pop shop in Cresson, TX. (Its a bit of a drive)
2. Angelo's - Its been there 50 years...
3. Railhead Smokehouse - The sides are fantastic.
4. Rudy's - Its a chain... but their sauce is fucking killer.

I enjoy the little mom and pop shops in Forest Hill (east Fort Worth) where they smoke the bbq for days and it falls off the bone and have the best homemade sauces!

I used to go to the Railhead regularly when I worked in FW. Always loved the energy to that place, in addition to the quality que. Great suggestion.

I might also suggest to the OP to research Modern Texas cuisine, which is now becoming a "thing". There are a lot of great choices in both Dallas and Fort Worth. The talk about the Stockyards brought Lonesome Dove to mind....

So are there real cowboys at these places?

The best barbecue in DFW is at Main Street BBQ in Euless, just off 183.

Only open on Friday, Sat., and Sunday.

BYOB or other drink. all they have is tea & water.

$12 per person - All you can eat.

Award winning ribs.

Cella, I will be glad to take you.

Yes that is a great idea--Tacos!! I had the best about 4 years ago passing through El paso. Cant find that authentic flavor anywhere else.

Ill be there for about 3-4 days and would love to take you guys up on the offer to go hang out and eat. Mind you I am a country girl and have no problem using my fingers haha.

Im getting excited about this trip, I was dreading it because of work but I think its looking up!

Thanks so much and keep the info coming please

The real cowboys live in the country and they aren't going to drive an hour or so in just to drink some beers.

If you catch Billy Bobs in FW on a night when they have got their little arena open and if they are riding bulls that night you will catch the bull riders in the club after it's over. And they will be chasing pussy. That is a guarantee. That's going to be your best bet. Find out what nights they are riding bulls.

Woohoo going right now to check out Billy Bobs online. Thank You!

To the OP, Tonguenchick knows what he's talking about!

I wouldn't recommend Fantasy Ranch SC ...
A search about it would be helpful ... IJS
