Pecan Lodge

You’ll find this classic BBQ joint in Deep Ellum, the live music capital of Dallas. Their award-winning BBQ is smoked to perfection, including the oak-smoked spare pork ribs, pulled pork, and burnt ends. Order à la carte or pick from a two- or three-meat plate that comes with a side (the potato salad and mac and cheese with crispy bacon bits are both fantastic, and you’ll be grateful you decided to ordered both). Don’t leave without trying the homemade peach cobbler— it’s hot and gooey, packed with peaches, and topped with a crunchy, toasted crust.
