🚨 🚨 EVERYONE. Guess who’s back, back again. Dustin Trevino is back!!! Go to Treviño’s Craft Smokehouse. They are open in Jacksboro, Texas. Only 35-45 minutes from Weatherford. Food truck with optional outdoor patio tables or interior cafeteria tables. The mouth-watering sliced fatty brisket was delicious. Turkey was full of flavor and peppered. The pork belly burnt ends had Big Wick's jalapeño glaze. Mmmm, mmmmm. I’m not a fan of most beans however their charro beans were amazing and hot (temp). Mac n cheese is more of a noodles with queso and were 💯. I don’t do potato salad however Cheryl Neal, loved it. They also serve tortillas with all meat plates.

Hays Co. Bar-B-Que and Catering announced recently that they are closing their current location with plans to open again in another “TBD” location. This reminds me of the high schooler that decides to take a year off before starting college. Well, statistics show that that just might not happen. “Life gets in the way if you take time off”. Well, I want to apologize to Hays Co, as I have driven past this place at least 50 times and “life just got in the way” and I couldn’t stop by. Until today! With that announcement, it scared me that I may not be able to hit all Texas Monthly Top 50 bbq places if they shut down. So, I made it happen. I am now down to 5 left.

Ordered fatty brisket, turkey, a rib, jalapeño cheddar sausage, hatch chile mac n cheese, potato salad, potato casserole, and jalapeño cream corn. Everything was solid and they are very deserving of their Top 50 nod.

Their location is great and their building is comfortable, roomy, and large. I’m sure rent has killed them here. Hopefully they continue on after a short break while trying to find a new place. They deserve to be in the bbq business.

On a cold Texas morning we braved the temperatures to explore Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue in Pflugerville. We had to get a little of everything. Large selection of sides. Garlic Parmesan Green beans was my favorite of the sides. The je**ed chicken was good. Brisket boudin sausage was great. The sign says banana pudding strawberry cobbler. Apparently that was two different deserts. Both were good. Worth the trip.

Had some great bbq tonight at M’Jays House Of Smoke in Arlington. If you haven’t tried this place, do it. Tip: The signage says TJs Catfish and Wings on the building. You will miss it your first time, without that bit of info. Collards are 💯.

Really good bbq. Nice change of pace from the usually fare. -pirate

Stopped by Antebellum Ale House for some Tailgaters BBQ- Dan Woods. Got the tailgaters tray. Soooo goooooood. He had turkey today, yea!!!! So moist and packed with flavor. The pork belly burnt ends w/ peach glaze never disappoints. Fatty brisket was phenomenal. On to the sides. The absolute best Mac n cheese and street corn in all of Parker county and beyond. I’ve been sleeping on the corn, but the more I try it, the better it gets. Keep up the great work Dan Woods and team!

Checked on a new Swig project we are about to start in San Antonio. Had to stop by 2M Smokehouse & catering. Great food and great service. Keep up the good work.

Brisket was perfection. Serrano pepper sausage was great, maybe just a tad too much smoke flavor. Turkey was moist and peppery. The sides were fantastic. Some of the best beans I’ve had in a long time (and I’m not a beans person). Mac n cheese and corn was amazing too. This place has potential to bump someone out of my self-made Top 10 list. Texas Monthly Top 50 List visit number 44 of 50. Getting close to hitting all of them.
