Sammy's Bar-B-Q

The Vibe

You've got to hit Sammy's Bar-B-Q while you're in town, it's easily one of Dallas's best and a solid five-star experience. Expect a bit of a wait, especially on weekend evenings, but it's worth it for their legendary brisket, which has that perfect smoke ring and bark. Grab a seat on the spacious outdoor patio if the weather's nice; it's a great spot to people-watch and soak in the buzz. While it's definitely on the pricier side for BBQ, the quality and portion sizes justify it, making it ideal for a special group dinner or a really satisfying date night. Don't skip the jalapeño cheddar sausage, and if you're smart, try to go for a late lunch to beat the biggest dinner crowds.
