Rick's was a pleasant surprise along a nondescript suburban street nestled among giant faceless office buildings and storage facilities. The food was better than expected, and was the best sampled in this area of DFW. The ribs were smoked perfectly with a great crust, fat well rendered, and smoked flavor throughout the meat. The seasoning was also good, and pleasantly took second fiddle to the smoke. The brisket had a fine smoke line and good crust along with good pull-apart tenderness. The seasoning was lacking, and the crust had good smoke flavor, but bites not blessed with crust lacked that carcinogenic flavor that we craved.

Visited Rick's yesterday, 08-19-09. The brisket and ribs had a good smoke to them, but I detected no seasoning. Thus, thank goodness for the sauce! Sides were mediocre. All in all, too pricy for what we got.
