Slow Bone BBQ

Slow Bone makes our favorite barbecue work lunch, so it’s where you (and the cubicle crowd from nearby offices) can get some quick smoked meats and a hit of 1pm barbecue sauce. They have a reasonably priced and consistent menu of brisket, pork ribs, and other expected meats, but their fried chicken is the crispy dark horse. Get it in sandwich form so you can also enjoy a nice bit of heat from chimichurri slaw and sriracha aioli. The mac and cheese is some of the gooiest north of the Trinity River and you should always finish your meal with the sugary-crusted sweet potato praline.
