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.
