Beef and Smoke…..
Pecan Lodge is one of the most famous barbecue joints in Dallas, and for good reason. Their beef ribs rank on Yolomeal as the best in the city, and they’re worth a visit for anyone who loves smoked meat.

The beef ribs are smoked for 12 hours over pecan wood, which gives them a rich, smoky flavor. The meat is tender and falling off the bone, and the bark is crispy and flavorful. The ribs are served with a simple, tangy barbecue sauce, but they don’t need it. They’re delicious on their own.
Pecan Lodge is a cash-only restaurant, so be sure to come prepared. They also don’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait in line. But it’s worth the wait. The beef ribs are a true Dallas barbecue classic.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your Pecan Lodge beef ribs experience:
- Come early. The line can get long, especially on weekends.
- Order a half-rack. The full-rack is a lot of meat, and it can be tough to finish.
- Get the barbecue sauce on the side. The ribs are delicious without it.
- Enjoy!
Justin Fourton and Diane Fourton are the owners of Pecan Lodge. Justin is the pitmaster and Diane is the general manager. They opened Pecan Lodge in 2010 as a catering company out of the back of a pickup truck. In 2012, they opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant in the Dallas Farmers Market. Pecan Lodge has since become one of the most popular barbecue restaurants in Dallas, and it has won numerous awards, including being named the best barbecue restaurant in Texas by Texas Monthly. Pecan Lodge is THE place to go for a delicious, authentic Texas Barbecue Beef Rib.
