Try RL Harris on 35 in Red Oak sometime.
I had a sliced brisket sandwich from there yesterday that was holy smoky.
I used to go when he was in Waxahachie. Really good. He probably has the best pulled pork that I've had.

Personally, Railhead is my favorite in Fort Worth. notable others are Hickory stick, off the bone and Cousins. I will give you three out of four Bob lol. Hickory Stick, Off The Bone, and Cousins are all excellent. I personally think Railhead is overrated, every time I have had the brisket it has been dry and tough. The Railhead in Willow Park IMO is actually better than the one on Montgomery St, but someone needs to teach them how to cut brisket against the grain. We eat it all the time because my TCU grad wife loves it. Hurtado's in Arlington, 407 in Argyle, and to be honest the Spring Creek BBQ on Cooper St in Arlington (I have been eating there almost weekly for almost 13 years and have never had a bad meal there) are my top three North Texas BBQ Joints. I have not tried Goldee's yet but it is supposed to be Da Bomb. I'm not much of a brisket fan. For me its all about the ribs. I agree with spring creek, I love their ribs!

I gotta say, I'm loving this. I brought up Tender before in the other section on dining in Texas, and everyone ignored it. It gets brought up here with a specific question in the OP, and most folks are ignoring it. I'd love to share the joy that my lips to colon experience but I'll certainly take a shorter line I hear ya! Like I said when it comes to BBQ everyone's opinion is subjective. Lot's of other good places to visit and try. BTW...Hard 8 sucks and is way over priced.Agreed. Went to The Colony location once. That was enough for me

Pit Stop in Breckenridge has disappointed me more than once. Hard 8 in Stephenville was ok as was Natty Flat Smokehouse in Mineral Wells.

407 for me here in the metromess. They have never disappointed. If I’m in Lubbock visiting my son at Tech, Evie Mae’s gets my money. Both are outstanding.

IMO, Dickey's is the best. Especially their beans. A close second would be Red, Hot and Blue. Really Dickeys? WTF? Garbage BBQ. Dang dude, you need to get out more. Dickeys?? It will suffice in a pinch but darn sure not going out of my way. Soft serve cone is the best thing they have going for them.

Nope, hard pass. $1.50 hot dog from Costco is better than that chit!
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect. Some people live an entire lifetime & wonder if they ever made a difference in the world, a veteran doesn't have that problem. Reagan

407BBQ is the gold standard in NTX. In fact I'm going to grab a late lunch there today. Goldee's does look promising, but hard for me to drive past the best to try something else. I was in Lockhart a few weeks back and Black's isn't what it used to be. Pedestrian BBQ now IMO.

Take a drive up to Muenster for some sausages this Christmas and stop in at Dieter Bros. in Lindsay. They are more of a bbq restaurant type if that makes sense. Good bbq and sides, onion rings are the bomb. They also do steaks, burgers, CFS and other stuff besides bbq.

It's not N Texas but City Meat Market in Giddings is pretty good.

I will admit I don’t get out much but would like to think I know good bbq. Zavalas in Grand Prairie is worth a try. Not an upscale location of thats a deal to anyone, and a bit unique. You can get a chopped beef taco with pico on the side called the Sloppy Juan. The meat is cooked wonderfully and their sausage is great
