In Texas, barbecue isn\u2019t something you eat every now and then; it\u2019s a way of life. We love barbecue that\u2019s slowly smoked and doesn\u2019t need to covered in sauce to be eaten. Sausage, brisket and ribs should have their own food pyramid. And we love to debate our favorite barbecue places.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth is no longer the end of the line for cattle drives, but it still has great places to chow down on you barbecue favorites. So, here\u2019s our top five barbecue places on the Fort Worth side of town.<\/p>\n

Angelo\u2019s<\/h3>\n

2533 White Settlement Rd<\/em>
\nFort Worth, TX 76107<\/em><\/p>\n

Established in 1958, Angelo\u2019s consistently ranks among the best barbecue places in the DFW Metroplex. The family recipe passed down from generations features hickory wood and special dry rubs to give it the perfect taste.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just take our word for it. Nearly 70 local, national and international celebrities have stopped by to try out the barbecue here. And as an added bonus, it\u2019s located just northeast of the UNT Health Science campus, making it the near perfect choice for a meal during your stay. And if you like it enough, you can even have it shipped right to you.<\/p>\n

Heim Barbecue & Catering<\/h3>\n

1109 W Magnolia Ave<\/em>
\nFort Worth, TX 76104<\/em><\/p>\n

Heim doesn\u2019t have the history or tradition of Angelo\u2019s. Instead, owner Travis started Heim just in 2014 selling barbeque out of a food truck. And in 2016, Heim traded his food truck for a more traditional brick-and-mortar restaurant south of downtown.<\/p>\n

But what they lack in history, they make up for in great food and a great atmosphere. Heim serves up all of the traditional barbecue \u2014 brisket, sausage and ribs \u2014 but you\u2019ll definitely have to try their bacon burnt ends. Make sure you get there early to be able to get a taste of this great start up restaurant.<\/p>\n

Riscky\u2019s Barbecue<\/h3>\n

140 E Exchange Ave<\/em>
\nFort Worth, TX 76164<\/em><\/p>\n

Located in the heart of the Fort Worth stockyards, Riscky\u2019s Barbecue is so much more than a \u201ctourist trap\u201d. For over 75 years, they\u2019ve been cooking up ribs, chicken and barbecue sandwiches in their famous \u201cRiscky Dust\u201d dry rub.<\/p>\n

Riscky\u2019s also has locations in other parts of Fort Worth, including Sundance Square, but the Stockyards location is hands down the best place to chow down on barbeque. Aside from being steps away from the cultural heart of Fort Worth, you\u2019re just steps away from great shopping and entertainments inside the Stockyards complex. It\u2019s dinner and an adventure.<\/p>\n

Billy’s Oak Acres BBQ<\/h3>\n

1700 N Las Vegas Trail<\/em>
\nFort Worth, TX 76108<\/em><\/p>\n

Billy\u2019s Oak Acres doesn\u2019t have the notoriety that Heim, Angelo\u2019s or Riscky\u2019s have, but that doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t cook mean barbecue. Actually, it\u2019s quite the opposite. They serve the typical barbecue, plus they\u2019ve added chicken fried steak, for a more country home feel, and even Tex-Mex. Also, be sure to try the banana pudding before hitting the road. It\u2019s a great place to eat and relax.<\/p>\n

Cousin’s BBQ<\/h3>\n

6262 McCart Ave<\/em>
\nFort Worth, TX 76133<\/em><\/p>\n

Opened in 1983, Cousin\u2019s is one of the few top barbecue places where sausage is the top item on the menu. Of course, they serve the other barbecue favorites, but their hand made German sausage helps them stand out in the sea of other barbecue places in the DFW area. Located outside of the I-820 loop around Fort Worth, Cousin\u2019s is a bit of a drive, especially for those staying near the UNT Health Science Center, but you\u2019ll find that the sausage here more than makes up for the extended drive.<\/p>\n

Tickets are now on sale<\/a>\u00a0for this year\u2019s WordCamp DFW held on Nov. 11-12. There are also plenty of opportunities to\u00a0sponsor the event<\/a>,\u00a0speak at the event<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0help run it<\/a>. We hope to see you there!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
