A new sign was hoisted on Joe's Burgers that said "Real BBQ", and of course I could not resist. You can order inside, but this is really a Sonic knock-off with a similar drive-in ordering system. Brisket and ribs were on the barbecue portion of the menu, so I ordered a sandwich of each meat and hoped for the best.



Brisket was dense and a bit dry, but the overall flavor was better than expected. These slices were very lean with a thin crust and no smoke ring. Surprisingly, the meat had some decent smoke to it. I could imagine the chopped beef with sauce on one of the grilled buns would be pretty good.



Ribs were less impressive...actually they were just downright bad. No smoke, chewy and fatty meat, and no bark made for a poor experience. Stick with the brisket if you find yourself in this part of East Dallas.
