Update 2009: This joint is CLOSED.
2008: This historic building in Historic Smithfield, Texas was welcome sight after so many strip malls in the DFW tour. They also have live music outside in the evenings on the weekends. The joint just had a cool vibe. Inside, the smell of smoke permeated the place. We ordered sliced brisket and ribs. The baby back ribs had a great smoky flavor, were perfectly tender, and did not taste old although it was 3:00 in the afternoon. The brisket had a good texture, but were missing the excellent smoke of the ribs even with a nice crust.

DISCLAIMER:
Each joint is judged on the essence of Texas 'cue...sliced brisket and pork ribs. Sausage is only considered if house made. Sauce is good, but good meat needs no adornment to satisfy. Each review can only be based on specific cuts of meat on that particular day. Finally, if the place fries up catfish or serves a caesar salad, then chances are they aren't paying enough attention to the pits, so we mostly steered clear.
