what say you, Texags?

Since I can almost walk there, I'll say yes.

Yes but I'd wait for a cooler morning. Line will be longer but worth the comfort imo. They provide lawn chairs and free beer while you wait.

Agreed, but just get there early. Alternatively, they don't advertise this but you used to be able ton order stuff to go and skip the line. Not sure if you still can.

I've been, it's good. But it's a one and done for me. It's far from my house and not worth the wait. Dayne's is just next door in Aledo and Panther City is on South Main in downtown FW and I can typically get in either than those without the wait. Or I can hit the easy button and go to Railhead or Heim.

Still need to get to Daynes...

Define early?

I got there at 9 and was eating by 11:30.

Had Terry Blacks in Dallas in the spring when we were over there and was pretty impressed. Excited for the Fort Worth one to open so I can go to it maybe twice a year haha

I've gotten there as early as 8 and been one of the first cars.

The nicer the weather, the later people will show up is what I've found.

Goldies brisket and beef ribs are definitely worth going for. I've hit most of the top bbq places in DFW, Houston, and Austin areas and this is my favorite.

I'm definitely going to make trip this fall, even if I have to go sit in a lawn chair and drink beer by myself.

Probably will go on a bye week or when the Ags are playing a night game. Won't be going this weekend. Going to be nearly 100 degrees again…

No BBQ is worth waiting several hours in line for.

I agree. I chuckled when someone brags "got there at 6 AM and got my Q at 11:30 but TOTALLY WORTH IT!"

No it isn't.

I used to go to Goldees when they first started up but order to go now.

Generally I agree with you guys. There are enough high quality places around that don't have lines.

But it can be done right. I went to Franklin's a few years ago with a group of friends. We got there around 6 or 7. Had our lawn chairs, a cooler of beer, the weather was great. We got in to eat around 12, but I could've sat out there all day.

Trying something like that by myself, or with the wife and kids? No way.

Better than Franklin?

Drove by this morning just for giggles and the lot was quite full at 10:30

It is an amazing feat that people their age produce high quiality BBQ in volume. That alone makes it worth the trip. They work the lines no less/

Re: "No BBQ is worth waiting several hours in line for."

Exactly.

I refuse to play the wait-in-line-for-hours bbq game.

Most extreme I'll go for is to drive to Argyle for 407 BBQ. Walk right in and order... longest I have waited to pick up the meal was maybe 5 min.

Not to be nosy, but I grew up (and parents still live) about a two minute drive from there in Kennedale. Are you that close by? Cause we might know each other.

I live a couple of miles east in far southwest Arlington. Moved here in 2008 from Mansfield so doubtful.

I said "almost" walk there cause it would be a hike.
