Marty B’s in Bartonville

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by MARTY⋆B'S (@martybsplace)

DIRECTIONS

A pretty well done over BBQ place in the middle of nowhere. This local restaurant quickly became successful not only because of their great food, but also because of the atmosphere, great staff, live music, and involvement in the local community.

While you’re there, sit around the outdoor fire pit, take roping lessons, or sit outdoors. This place is so much FUN!

I once asked one of the bartenders to surprise me with a cocktail and he served me up a “Bluebonnet Lemon-drop Martini.” I have no idea if it’s actually on their menu or not, but ask for it because it was amazing! We have nothing but nice things to say about Marty B’s.

Marty B’s, 2664 FM 407 East, Bartonville, Texas, 76226, (940) 241-3500, martybsplace.com

Angelo’s Barbecue in Fort Worth

DIRECTIONS

With great service and an friendly environment, Angelo’s needs to go on your list of best BBQ places in Dallas Fort Worth.

When Angelo first opened the restaurant, there were only four dining tables, a stand-up table and an ordering counter, which added up to as much of a beer joint as a restaurant.

He operated his business with his wife, June, his brother, Orville, who passed away in 1984, and his son, Skeet. When Angelo passed away in 1997, at the age of 71, he and his son Skeet had built the business into the renowned and thriving gathering spot it is today.

“Dad’s hard work and determination put this place on the map,” said Skeet George, who grew up in and later took over the barbecue business. “He wanted to leave a viable business for his family, but what he actually left is a legacy for us and for Fort Worth.”

Angelo’s BBQ, 2533 White Settlement Rd, Fort Worth, Texas, 76107, (817) 332-0357, angelosbbq.com

Juicy Pig Barbecue in Denton

DIRECTIONS

Good food, good folks, and good times: That’s what Juicy Pig Barbecue in Denton, TX is all about!

Juicy Pig is a relaxed, easy-going place, but they are serious about the food we serve. You’ll want to try their brisket, pulled pork, or heck why not a plate piled high with smoked mac ‘n’ cheese. They also serve the national beer of Texas: Lone Star. Catering available.

Juicy Pig, 708 North Locust St, Denton, Texas, 76201, (940) 387-0708, juicypigdenton.com

Chasin Tail BBQ in Lake Dallas

Open for lunch and dinner, to find Chasin Tail BBQ, just take the South Lake Dallas Drive exit off of I-35 E. Located just north of Lake Lewisville, travel east for a few hundred feet and turn in when you see the famous “Pink Pig.”

Brisket, sausage, ribs, and of course ham…what more could you want with BBQ? They even have an all-you-can-eat option called the “Tail Chaser” (no sharing). Catering available.

Chasin’ Tail, 601 Lake Dallas Dr, Lake Dallas, Texas, 75065, (940) 321-0524, chasintailbbq.com

Bartley’s BBQ in Grapevine

DIRECTIONS

Bartley’s opened in 1968 and (believe or not) was only one of three restaurants in town back then. Bartley’s remained on Main Street until July of 1995, when the City of Grapevine purchased the property for the new city hall. They then moved to their current location a block east of Main Street.

Bartley’s BBQ continues to be recognized for their authentic and mouth-watering barbecue, attention to detail, and love for the local community.

Heads up! Bartley’s is closed Sunday and Monday.
