Pecan Lodge

We were visiting, but some locals told us to hit up Pecan Lodge and that Terry Black's was overrated. We tried both and agree with them on both.We had just about everything on the menu and it was DELICIOUS. The place is a bit smaller than some, but if you're willing to brave the line you'll be happy you did. They've also got a little bar area serving up some local brews. HIGHLY recommend this spot!

Cool BBQ spot nestled in Deep Ellum. The inside is pretty big and they have a patio area as well. I think I've been so spoiled with BBQ in my life that unfortunately, to me, this BBQ was just mediocre. Out of the brisket and pulled pork that I got, I think the brisket was better. The mac & cheese also fell pretty short to me.

This was the worst BBQ I've ever had, definitely not worth the price. The meats were extremely dry and flavorless, and the BBQ sauce was watery and unpleasant. On top of that, they provide only a small container of sauce, which isn't nearly enough to help the dry meat. This is absolutely not Texas BBQ. I wouldn't recommend this place or Terry Black's BBQ. That said, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, but it was far too crowded for my taste.

Pecan Lodge and Terry Black's are neck and neck for the best BBQ in the galaxy. You really can't go wrong with either.Here's everything I ordered:1/2 Pound Brisket $17.501/4 Pound Pork $6.501/4 Pound Burnt Ends $8.751.5 Pound Beef Rib $50.75$5.50 Mac & Cheese$6.50 Banana PuddingI thought the best item was for sure the $50.75 beef rib. I liked the smokeyness, the saltiness, the char, and how moist the meat was. This might be my favorite item I've ever had at any BBQ.I normally don't care that much for brisket, but as expected this one was perfect.The pulled pork was perfect. Mac and Cheese was good with the bacon. And I really enjoyed the Banana pudding. It was probably the 2nd best item I tried.The only item I'd pass on is the Burnt Ends.Yes, I spent $103 for lunch for just myself.

I'd give it a 4.5 if yelp gave the option but I can't justify the 5 on my first rodeooooooo and I'll explain why shortly.I'm incredibly happy I was finally able to cross this off the big back thrill list since the last 3 times I've been to Dallas / DFW area I just really haven't been able to make it to pecan lodge even though I've wanted to every time. Unfortunately They ran out of beef ribs like 45 minutes before I got to the front (short line btw) burnt ends ran out like 30 minutes and regular sausage ran out a second before ordering. Literally the put the sold out sign while I was talking to the cashier girl. That ain't their fault but they did say they wouldn't run out of beef ribs (the main reason I made the trek over there, literally the reason I've always wanted to try pecan lodge) the dude basically guaranteed it cus he said they've been slow today. But the no burnt ends and no sausage really gave me the true blues.Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I was ready to savor whatever the hell was left.So I got a lb of brisket, half lb of baby back pork ribs, 2 jalapeño sausages, fried riblet, and some potatoe salad. Verdict: nothing came out warm or fresh tasting. Literally we both got the sensation that it tasted and felt as if it had just been sitting out for hours. Especially disappointed with how cold the brisket was. I'll be fair and not grill into this on a granular level until maybe I come here again, this time for lunch or super early and hopefully getting to savor and enjoy the god damn beef ribs and burnt ends.The flavor, smoke profile and seasoning was still fire. You can tell this shits quality. And the sauces and service were good as well.Disappointed I didn't get the film experience but whatever. Cowboys really are from hell. Deuces.

Top-notch BBQ in Dallas!There was a long line stretched out the door the entire time we were there (2 to 3 pm). A tip for those visiting: order at the bar for faster service and to skip the main (long) line. About 5 min after we placed our order, we got our food. My friend and I ordered the beef rib (weighing at 1.8 lb, so it was no light feat!) and the smokehouse nachos. My friend LOVED the beef rib, complimenting the juiciness and how the meat just slid right off the bone. I'm a nachos gal, so I loved everything about the dish. We shared both plates and were stuffed by the end. Great service with plenty of indoor and outdoor patio seating (during off-peak hours, at least). I'd definitely come again when I'm back in Dallas.

The food was ok, not terrible, but definitely not worth the cost. To top it off, they don't even really give you a good portion for how much all of it ends up costing. So, if you have a big appetite or you're going hungry-- your best bet is to go somewhere else! It's pretty loud and the person calling out names on the mic is hard to hear. They don't do a good job at being clear about much of anything. The only reason this is getting 3 stars is simply the speed of service!

I came here as part of a food tour, so all I got to try was the brisket. But OMG it was melt in your mouth delicious!!! It didn't even need BBQ sauce, although the 2 sauces provided were good - one more thick and sweet and one more thin and spicy; they were especially good mixed together. The sides coming out to other tables also looked really good. I definitely plan on coming back and trying more items!!

W O WDefinitely the place to go in Dallas for bbq. Service was fast and friendly and the food was amazing. Don't sleep on the beef rib or peach cobbler!

Pecan Lodge had pretty good BBQ, but it didn't live up to the hype.We came on a Saturday evening and ordered brisket, burnt ends, sausage, mac & cheese, and banana pudding. The first change I would make to a future order is to skip the burnt ends - this is usually one of our favorite things, but what we were given was relatively dry pieces that tasted like BBQ sauce. The brisket itself was pretty good, but it did not compare in our opinion to the best BBQ spots we've tried in TX. We felt similarly about the sausage. The mac & cheese and banana pudding were maybe my favorite parts as they were more comparable to some of the other spots. With so many choices for BBQ, we felt like Pecan Lodge was a bit forgettable.
