Barbecue is basically our love language here in Texas, and because of that, deciding where to eat can prove overwhelming at times. Allow us to simplify the search by suggesting Angelo’s: a time-honored, family-owned restaurant with some of the most delicious meat around (especially the pork ribs and brisket!).
For the past 60 years, Angelo's has been delighting the hearts and stomachs of Texans everywhere with its authentic Cowtown BBQ. Family-owned since the very beginning, this quintessential eatery deserves a top spot on your dining bucket list.
Inside, the atmosphere couldn't be more stereotypically Texas. Taxidermy is mounted on all four wood-paneled walls; trophies from the George family's hunting trips. There's even a 7-foot tall black bear greeting hungry patrons at the entrance!
Meals are served cafeteria-style with your choice of meat plus three sides. Among the most popular cuts are pork ribs, brisket, jalapeno sausage, and the most succulent chicken you've ever tasted. Sauce is always served on the side to avoid drowning out the natural juices and mouthwatering smoky flavor.
Sides include the usual suspects like baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, green beans, corn cobbettes, and bread, along with more innovative options such as smoked mac 'n cheese. Pro-tip: pile a little of everything on the bread and build your own sandwich (thank us later).
You can also get any of the meats (besides chicken) on a sandwich, served Texas-style with mustard, pickles, onions, and BBQ sauce. Other entrees are tacos, stuffed potatoes, and meat by-the-pound.
The mac 'n cheese can also be enjoyed with your choice of meat on top! We'd choose this over dessert any day (although the peach cobbler is pretty darn irresistible).
