Texas Brisket 1/2LB
So tender! Great flavor! Great side dishes to! Great environment and staff is great! Make great old fashions!
Smoked Brisket Queso
Best queso in town!! The flavor from the brisket is exceptional! Beats any queso in town when you just add regular beef.
Smoked Fried Chicken Wings
OMG....BEST WINGS EVER! These aren't the puny, skinny wings you get at most places....these FULL wings are Arnold Schwarzenegger size!!! I'm not generally a "smoked food" kinda person, but I have to give credit where's its due. We come here a few times a month to enjoy their outdoor, heated space with a fire pit and lots of TV's, which allow you to enjoy the game, some great craft beers (the main reason we started coming here) and a killer BBQ menu! We've tried almost everything on the menu and rarely had a bad meal (once but the manager made it right) . The entire menu is fabulous, but again, THESE ARE THE BEST WINGS EVER!!! They smoke them for 24 hours and then flash fry them before serving.....crispy, juicy and absolutely flavorful! No sauce needed but they do give you several choices. Trust me, other than a great steak, I know great wings! They also have a game room with a pool table, arcade games and dart boards. Service is friendly and attentive but not overbearing. This is our go-to place for great food and craft beer while cheering on our Cowboys or watching other sporting games!

Three Meats and One Side (3/4LB)
Near the Austin Ranch community in The Colony is Barrel & Bones. A restaurant that I just started hearing about recently, and the news was so good that I had to have the Que Crew pay them a visit. The decor feels more like a trendy bar, with a wall of alcohol choices and a main room that is mostly high tables. There's also a side room with 2 pool tables and a couple of Golden Tee games, and there are several outdoor tables along with a fire pit that makes for a nice place to spend an evening with a drink and some good food. Speaking of the food, you'll find all the Texas barbecue staples along with a few original items that you'll have to give a try. The originality begins with the appetizer list: Poblano Corn Fritters, Buffalo Fried Deviled Eggs, Smoked Brisket Queso, Smoked Fried Chicken Wings and Towered (Black & Tan) Onion Rings. All were tempting, but I wanted to try plenty of the entrees too, so I ordered the Corn Fritters and Fried Deviled Eggs for the table. The fritters are not like any other I've had. The outside is a crunchy cornmeal breading while the inside remains very soft and creamy. A departure from the usual more cornbread-like filling. The fried deviled-eggs are a must try. Crunchy breading on the egg white and then topped with the creamy whipped yolk is like nothing I've ever had before. The meats are sold by the 1/2 pound, as well as 2-meat and 3-meat combos, or you can go with a whole rack of ribs. I had to get the 3-meat so I could sample as much as possible. I chose brisket (moist), jalapeno sausage and porkbelly burnt ends (I also traded with another crew member for a rib) and my chosen side was loaded baked potato salad. First, for the meats! The jalapeno sausage is good, but it is very similar to what I've had at several other restaurants. The pork rib was good -- could have been a little more tender - and it was topped with a sweet, sticky sauce. I saved the best for last! The moist brisket rivaled the best that I've had! It was tender, smokey, juicy and flavorful. No matter what I order on my next visit, it'll have to include the brisket! The loaded baked potato salad was also very good. All the flavors of a loaded baked potato, with a firmer bite of the potato salad chunks. All of the meals were also served with a little pickled onion and cucumber, which was really good and a good contrast to the barbecue. As far as value, I'd have to say it's average. The turkey and chicken are the best values at $10.99 per 1/2 pound, with 2-meat combos for $15.99 and 3-meat combos at $18.99. All in line with what you'll pay at most barbecue restaurants. Our service was terrific. Our server was attentive yet not bothersome, and she was very friendly and helpful. This is a great spot for dinner and drinks in a casual, friendly atmosphere.
House Smoked Turkey Melt
This is the most accommodating place- and has the best food! I accidentally ordered to the Carrollton location once and drove to the colony location and they went above and beyond to cancel the other order and remake our order super quickly so we didn't have to drive around. The food is always amazing (I've come here once a week for about 3 months) and would highly recommend to my friends for good bbq
