Smoke

Dallas


A barbecue joint that grows its own veggies and smokes its own meats gets enough street cred to claim the motto 'Raisin' Hell from Scratch.' The style of the dining room matches the style of the excellent food. Besides barbecue, it is famous for its bacon-cheeseburgers and fine steaks.
