A Dallas-area institution, Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse puts the plain-and-simple back into some of Big D’s favorite barbecue. The tiny, more than 40-year-old wooden building housing the original Inwood location retains the family-run charm instituted by Sonny’s grandfather, who opened the family’s first restaurant in 1910. (The Bryans no longer own the now-multiple locations.) From pulled pork or chicken to beef brisket and "vegetables," such as macaroni and cheese and some of Texas’ best fried onion rings, the food can only get better when dipped in the thick, red house sauce for which Sonny Bryan’s is known.
"The old favorites — ribs, brisket and onion rings — still hit the
spot, especially when doused with Sonny's original, thick, rust-colored
sauce and washed down with fresh, cold iced tea in a foam Dr Pepper cup.
This is real, no-nonsense Texas barbecue dinin'."
