Dallas is by no means known as one of the culinary capitals- but we have some really great food here. We are also home to some pretty great local restaurant chains. I realized after a BBQ lunch with my folks that I'd gone to a number of "original locations. I decided they would be note-worthy additions to my foodie experience.
First up: "Original" Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse
Yep, that's me, Mom, and Dad after some good Memorial Dad BBQ
Both my Mom and I had the sliced beef brisket. Nice big slices of moist tasty beef. On the plus side and for my preference, the meat wasn't all that smokey but still carried a nice flavor. The buns were also fresh and dense enough to hold the meat and sauce. The sauce had a nice 'tang to it and was rich and flavorful. However, the mini-Corona bottles that the sauce is served in is heated hot enough to burn your hand if you don't know better. The bottles are better than the squeeze bottles and seemed cleaner too.
My Dad had the pulled pork. It was gone in about 3 minutes so I guess you can say it was pretty good.
My Mom had the cole slaw. It was fresh and the dressing was good. Again, no complaints.
OH the ONION RINGS!!! Yep, there were only 4 in my single side order but they were HUGE and that fresh, sweet tasting onion perfectly cooked with just the right kind of thin crispy batter. DELISH! Add a little BBQ sauce to 'em and they were just YUM!
We did eat outside on a shared pic-nik table with some strangers. Seating is very limited, but BBQ is for sharing so that's what we did.
