I got my usual 2 meat plater with briskets, pork ribs, beans and mac and cheese. I would say everything was solid, but nothing really stood out except the ribs, they were really good! The mac and cheese had bacon in which was a nice touch but didn't elevate it overall. The place looks like something straight out of the late 70's or early 80's and I don't think they have added any new decor since. The people were extremely friendly and the service was fast. So, if you are looking for a quick solid meal at a good value, this is the spot. Oh, and they had that triple ply toilet paper in the bathroom. Would poop here again.

In my humble opinion, salt lick, and drift for Texas is outstanding however, if you're in Fort Worth and you want an amazing barbecue, you're going to be at Hickory sticks barbecue and let me tell you their brisket is second to none. Service is outstanding for what this place is side of the road joint clearly mom and Pop Shop, but again in my humble opinion, the mama pop shops are the best. Do us a favor stay away from chains come to places like this you'll arrive hungry and leave full. Great selection of food very kind folk, especially from folks not from around there very cool vibe with that Classic Texas style barbecue atmosphere whatever you do don't open the little box that says in case of fire open if you do so open at your own risk. On my leads out there if you're passing by this way, you need to take a stop grab yourself a brisket plate and a side brisket sandwich to go kick your feet up and enjoy. You won't find a better smoked brisket anywhere trust me I was there for a hot minute and this is the best brisket I had on the trip.

We arrived for the tasting 10 minutes early and were told we missed our time. She told my daughter 1:30 and she put 1:00 on her calendar. She confirmed her mistake from her text messages. After realizing this was her mistake, the lady told us that they (she and the chef) couldn't do anything to accommodate us at all. Mind you that we took off work and drove 3 hours on a Thursday afternoon. They would not move it to later that afternoon but offered the next day so we could drive another 3 hours one way to the business again. No thank you. She was very flippant about the miscommunication and really didn't seem to care much about our time or feelings. Just sharing so this doesn't happen to someone else. I guess they don't need the business. It was very disappointing and upsetting to a bride to be.

A former Texas Monthly top 10 spot on a Sunday at 11:30 am had basically no line. How can that be?…read moreInside there is no seating and the outdoor patio is quite filled up. People are parking on side streets all over just trying to get lucky. How is that possible? Panther City BBQ is just efficient. Located just slightly south of downtown Fort Worth, Panther City BBQ was my 31st stamp on my Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Passport. So much barbecue has been on the board this past year that my palate is just dialed now. I have a few notes of the eats at each spot I go to from my Yelp peers, my friends, and other things I see online, but I did not expect Panther City to have as many options as they did. Their menu, especially on the weekends, is quite expansive. Of course they have all your traditional smoked meats plus smoked bologna and smoked barbacoa and smoked guisada on the weekend. Their BBQ Twists had some crazy options like their Pork Belly Poppers that I had to get. The line moved efficiently as they had two ladies running the register as all the meats were sliced and prepared in the kitchen. They were moving through the line with a speed never seen before at a BBQ joint. My order was small orders of quite a bit of their menu so I had the chance to really try it all. I'll go down the line and share my thoughts on everything: Brisket: Honestly, was kind of dry in my opinion compared to the best and didn't pull me in so much. Probably the worst thing I had here. Pork Spare Ribs: Big ole bone that crumbled with no problem. Extremely tender and heavenly. Beef Garlic Sausage: I am more of a pork sausage guy, but these threw down. They had a back order on their Jalapeño Cheese sausage, so I got a link of this instead. Plenty of flavor and a delight. Smoked Brisket Guisada: If you want a little hair on your chest, order their Guisada and sit out in the Texas heat. That stew had a kick to it. It was flavorful. It was powerful, but I also had generational meat sweats after a few bites. Pork Belly Poppers: I haven't stopped thinking about these. It was a crazy and delicious bite and packed full of flavor. I wish jalapeños weren't as mild as they are right now (thanks A&M), but the mixing of the pork belly with a creamy jalapeño popper was a brilliant creation that felt like a drunk masterpiece I'd put together if I were a pit master. Spicy Smoked Mac & Cheese: A fantastic side with a jalapeño crumble that really wasn't that spicy. It was excellent and a perfect mac sauce, but I just had to share that it really wasn't that spicy. This was a treat of a spot. They're open 5 days a week until 8 PM, which shows they have it down to a science. As we were leaving, the line had popped out the door. Anywhere else that's like an hour wait. Here? It means they're gonna have to wait 10 minutes to order. RIYL: Top tier BBQ without the extensive wait for top tier BBQ.
