Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse BBQ, Dallas

Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse is one of Dallas' oldest family-owned BBQ restaurants and has been serving great meals since 1910. Great food preparation runs in the Bryan family; Sonny learned all his cooking techniques from his dad, the great Bill �Red� Bryan. The original site still located at 2202 Inwood Road, complete with awnings for outdoor dining. Don't let the small shack appearance fool you, inside there is fantastic food at a reasonable price, served up in large portions. And there are 6 other Dallas locations from which to choose, just check the Dallas phone book or the Internet. The flavor of this BBQ is hard to beat when it comes to that old-time taste and backyard fun. Sure, there are ribs, chicken, brisket, and sausage, but the key is the slow smoking of the meats. This cafeteria-style food is served hot, juicy, and with plenty of sauce! And don't forget to order the sweet corn-on-the-cob, fresh potato salad, and the spicy baked beans. Sandwich plate and three-meat dinner plates are served with two sides and prices start at a reasonable $5.99. Top it off with iced tea, soda, or a cold beer, and the meal is complete. This a great place for casual, company functions in a relaxed family-style atmosphere.
