Mmmm…My mouth is watering. Everything looks delicious. I will have to try Off the Bone this weekend.

congrats to the winners. too bad for me the top spots are all an hour away.

Charles, I turned off the comments on FB so that we could concentrate our comments about BBQ here on SideDish.

Pretty sure that Lamberts BBQ in Austin is the best in the state. Maybe it will make its way to Dallas one day.

great website

Lamberts in Austin is good for fancy cue, but as Darnell said it’s mostly a place that serves BBQ, not a BBQ joint. Any place that you can order Chimay with your ribs shouldn’t be considered as a BBQ joint. By the way, there is a Lamberts in Ft. Worth, but the Austin version is better in my opinion.

Off The Bone, put some extra ribs in the smoker because, I’m on my way!

Three of us went to Off The Bone today for lunch. They told us they were much busier than usual today due to the positive publicity from D magazine.
But they had plenty of help on board and although the food was a bit slow to come out of the kitchen it wasn’t too long a wait.
I ordered the rib (BABY BACKS!) and sliced beef plate with two sides which was $12.95. I had asked for a fatty piece of brisket but, the girl who took the order wasn’t sure what a “fatty” piece of brisket was. So, what I received were fatty ribs and dry sliced brisket. But, I’ve had worse brisket in Dallas. The ribs, although somewhat fatty were still delicious.
My friend’s ribs, which were not “fatty” were, absolutely fabulous. Perfect, actually. It was so nice to see baby backs being used instead of regular pork ribs. A pleasant change for sure.
The side were, OK. Nothing special but still good enough.
And after all, we don’t usually judge a BBQ joint by it’s sides. It’s the meat that counts!
To sum up, I wish they were closer to me because I could eat their delicious baby backs at least twice a week. But, it’s too long a drive for just for ribs.
They’re also kind of skimpy on the condiments. Instead of a “condiment station” they put a (very) small cup consisting of a few onions pieces, pickle chips and jalapeno slices on the plate with your order.
overall: I’d go back just for the baby backs.

If you ate your friend’s ribs, that would be canibalism. Lucky for you they are BYOB (Bring Your Own Body).

@NN~ First I had to drive to pick up my eatin buddys in Oak Cliff. That was about 15 minutes. Then, from my friend’s house in Kessler Park it was an easy 25 minute drive. Easy because from my friend’s house we got right on I30 west and then South on 820 to Mansfield Hwy. So for me, a total of about 40 minutes door to door. All highway driving, thankfully.
