I haven't eaten there since December, but I have never had a bad meal at Pecan Lodge. I love barbecue and quite often take road trips with family or friends to try barbecue all over the state and the only places I like better than Pecan Lodge are Snow's in Lexington and Franklin in Austin. As far as DFW BBQ goes, I would rate Pecan Lodge several steps above the likes of Cattleack BBQ, Lockhart Smokehouse, 18th and Vine, Slow Bone, Meet U Anywhere, and Hutchins. Hutchins is probably my second favorite of all the contenders and Slow Bone is probably #3, but in my opinion, Slow Bone has gone downhill in the meat department some since Jack Perkins sold it last year, but they still have great sides.

Here is a spread from Pecan Lodge that me and 4 buddies tore up not too long ago.
