    What's there to say. Amazing, top notch Texas BBQ. Now it did somewhat lack a bit of the intense smokified bbq flavor you'd come to expect and synonymous with Texas barbecue but not in a bad way. Amazing juicy brisket, and an even better top 5 burger I've ever had - anywhere. As good as Texas barbecue gets.

    Stopped by Panther City BBQ and was impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating area was a great place to enjoy the meal, especially on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I liked that they offer some unique Tex-Mex inspired BBQ items in addition to traditional barbecue. The Brisket Elote and the Barbacoa Tacos were excellent. One of the biggest surprises was dessert. The Nutter Butter Cheesecake was something a little different from what you'd typically expect at a BBQ restaurant, and it was definitely worth trying. Overall, great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and some creative menu options that set them apart from other BBQ spots.

    2026 - Yelp Review #11 Panther Creek BBQ offers smoked meats, sandwiches, tacos, poppers, smoked Mac n cheese, dill potato salad, and creamed corn to name a few. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You order and then find seating either indoor or outdoor. Place your table number so it can be seen and your meal will be bought to your table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything was delicious and I will be returning to try their tacos. My least favorite menu item was their dill potato salad. Is was to much dill for my liking. Operating Hours Wednesday - Sunday 11 am - 8 pm

    Cowtown Platter with Burnt Ends

    It's taken us a long time to get over to try Panther City BBQ, I'm glad we finally did. Mid-afternoon on a Saturday it was slammed and now we know why. BBQ worth telling all your friends about! Everything we had was really good. The smash burger could have been cooked a little longer but the flavor was good. The pastrami sandwich was probably the best thing we ordered and the cowtown platter fed 5 with lots of leftovers to take home. Great flavors on the meats and the smokey aroma even lingered home in our take-out boxes! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio offers a nice place to eat with picnic tables and enjoy some music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was hardworking and helpful. The main tip is you want to go early in the day before they start selling out of various items. Definitely worth a visit!

    Brisket, inedible burnt ends, street corn.

    Simply a bar that serves bbq, that's it. I'm guessing at one point they really sold craft bbq; today it's more of a bar with a side of bbq. Nothing impressive about the food. I'll give them this "they are much more affordable" but then again I'd rather pay another $20 for great food. Burnt ends inedible (literally burnt), brisket tender but zero flavor of seasoning. Corn was standard street corn that you can get from 10,000 taco shops in town. Lastly the bbq sauce was so overly sweet "like a raspberry chipotle flavor maybe" not our style but that was the flavor of the brisket. Service was made to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was great for the drinking crowd that wanted a side of bbq.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wouldn't return for bbq.

    Friendly service, amazing food. Brisket was moist, fatty, and DELISSSH. Pork belly burnt ends were also incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really solid bbq and a nice spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is fine, lots of people are commenting that it's difficult but there is plenty of street parking around. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Brisket, sausage, 3 Piece Pork Belly Poppers.

    First time at Panther City for Father's Day. Came in with high expectations. We arrived around 12:15 or 12:30 and waited around 45 minutes in line. It was not bad and the bar staff were great about taking drink orders while we waited. Once we made it to the counter, we ordered brisket, jalepeno cheddar sausage, pork belly poppers, barbacoa tacos, brisket elotes, and potato salad. The sides were ok, but the meat was terrible. It was dry and not warm. The pork belly was difficult to cut and chew. The brisket, which was ordered moist, seemed like it had been left out for a couple of hours. The sausage was chalky. I was so disappointed.

    Kylie F.

    I ordered the brisket elote, pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket, mac and cheese and banana pudding. The elote was good but a little too spicy for me- anyone who likes spice will love it! My favorites were the pulled pork and the brisket. The burnt ends were a little tough. Mac and cheese was perfect! Banana pudding was fine too. Their bbq sauce is very very vinegar heavy and not sweet at all so definitely keep that in mind if you come. The food came out very quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small inside as is the parking lot so plan accordingly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Yo, pulled up to Panther City, had to answer the call, BBQ dreams on my mind, hungry as hell, y'all. Started with the mac, creamy gold in the bowl, Rich, cheesy comfort food, hit me straight in the soul. Then they dropped the Southside Slammer on the tray, Had me staring at that beast like, "No way." Pork belly stacked high with that smoky bark shine, Brisket so tender, swear it should be a crime. Pulled pork in the mix, bringing flavor in waves, Smoked bologna throwing punches from beyond the grave. All piled on a bun that's soft, buttery, and slick, Every bite hit hard like a Texas barbecue kick. Pickles on the side cutting through all the smoke, Balance so good had me laughing at the joke. Sweet, savory, smoky, every layer got game, Panther City BBQ living up to the name. Fort Worth barbecue, yeah they're setting the pace, Not a single weak link anywhere on the plate. From the mac to the Slammer, every bite was legit, Left full, left happy, and I'd absolutely repeat. Panther City BBQ came with championship-level smoke. The mac & cheese was rich and satisfying, but the Southside Slammer stole the show. Pork belly, pulled pork, brisket, and smoked bologna stacked together sounds excessive--until you take a bite and realize it's barbecue perfection. Easily one of the most memorable sandwiches I've had in Texas.

    Okay! So! I definitely got food poisoning here but it was worth it. The food is delicious. I don't like fat on my brisket but it didn't matter here - it was still that good. The barbecue sauce on the tables is very good and not overwhelming. Just a totally good meal. The Mac and cheese was underwhelming, but let's be honest... you don't come to a place like this for the sides.

    Brisket Elote Cup, Smoked Mac & Cheese, Brisket, and Collard Greens
    Axton S.

    Very busy and can be hard to find a table. Food was little expensive compared to some other BBQ places but not overly expensive. The Brisket Elote Cup is an absolute must! I would go back just for the cup. Collard greens had a slight kick but delicious as well. Mac n cheese was okay. Brisket had great flavor but was more on the fatty side than I typically get. Note, I was not asked if I had a brisket preference though.

    Pulled pork sandwich, banana pudding, nutter butter cheesecake
    Bert F.

    Great little BBQ joint. Service was fast and friendly. We had the Cow town platter and pulled pork sandwich. Everything was very good. It has a bar inside as well for drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are in the area you won't regret it.

    Brisket and ribs
    Monica D.

    Hands down the best ribs I've ever had! They were tender, flavorful, and cooked to absolute perfection. The brisket was moist, juicy, and packed with that rich smoky flavor you hope for but don't always get. The rib tips were the real surprise though. Perfectly balance of sweet and savory. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sitting area was very clean, which I always appreciate, and the cashiers answered all my questions with a smile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's outdoor seating available, which is perfect when the weather's nice, and they offer nightly specials.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    "Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right.

    First time trying Brown's BBQ, and guess I came away thinking super nice folks (thinking at least…read moresome in establishment were family), good (could be great) sides, and still on the learning curve on the brisket. With a bit more seasoning and flavor, the sides could be the hit of the location, and this I think will come with time and practice. Tried the greens (little bland, but wonderful texture), Mac and Cheese (actually seasoning was spot on), and beans (with meat...meh). The greens and MC were the hits for sure. Brisket was on the dry side, maybe overcooked, and could have used some better trimming before cooking I think. Did not try sausages or chicken, but both looked appetizing. They are still dialing in their pits is my guess, and expect cook quality to improve with a time. Quality of meat may also be worth considering. Overal, Brown's is definitely worth a visit, and as they find their groove they could be a contender. Right now would put them at a fair 3.5 stars, but the energy, great attitude (smiles means repeat business), and great beginnings is worthy of 4 stars even now, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood!
