I'm not sure which came first, but if you're looking for a decent BBQ joint north of Ft Worth, Spring Creek (not far away) is much better and virtually identical in the cafeteria style service.

The food it ok. We went on a Sunday for lunch. They had just opened and they were out of chicken and baked potatoes. The service was so slow. We had friends in line behind us and we were done eating by the time they got their food.

This is the real thing for great barbecue. Independently owned small business. Entertainment on weekends.
