Pecan Lodge is arguably the most celebrated BBQ joint in Dallas, serving massive beef brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and pulled pork that draws lines out the door daily. Get the brisket — the fatty end — and the 'Trough' if you're feeding a group. Expect a long wait on weekends, but the line moves and the payoff is real.
