An icon in Deep Ellum, Pecan Lodge fires up tender brisket, ribs and pulled pork. Add the requisite sides (mac 'n cheese, collard greens, plus peach cobbler for dessert), local craft brews and you have one of Dallas' best BBQ joints. The downside: the lines are long, and you'll have to arrive early to score a shaded table on the patio.
