North Texas Smoke BBQ

The Vibe

You've got to check out North Texas Smoke BBQ when you're in Durant. It's a solid five-star spot, and what really sets it apart is the fantastic outdoor seating area. They've got these long picnic tables under strung lights, which makes for a really relaxed evening, perfect for families or a casual group of friends. Their brisket is legendary, incredibly tender with a perfect smoke ring, and don't skip the jalapeño cheddar sausage – it’s got just the right amount of kick. Go a little earlier in the evening, around 5:30 or 6 PM, to grab a good table before the dinner rush, especially on a weekend. Parking is usually easy in the lot right next to the restaurant.
