What do y'all think about Angelo's BBQ in Fort Worth?
Been there once and found their ribs to be excellent.

Nothing like it was 20+ years ago. I ate there last year, it was mediocre at best.

Go to railhead. Thank me later.

Used to be great back in the day but they have barely been average since Angelo passed away back in the late 90's. Cousin's, Heim's, and Railhead are all better than Angelo's,

I went there about 15 years ago based on its reputation. The BBQ was not good; never even thought of going back. As Near Nurhin said, there a lot of better choices out there. Even chains like Sonny Bryans and Rudy's are much better than Angelo's.

[s][/s]I see your in loiuville just take the drive over to 407 and 35w and have some of the best BBQ you ever put in yo mouth. Google it I dare you. Wait tff search you might be there a while

And another tip from uncle popedaddy

It's far from what it used to be. The state of bbq in cowtown is shakey right now.

Back in the early 90's we ate there at least 2 times a month and it was great. Haven't been since 1995.

Plenty to be had. Railhead, cousins, Billy's oak Acres, woody Creek, off the bone, Longoria's...

Still good stuff!

Heims

Angelo's always had the coldest beer!

Nobody can argue with that!

Railhead might just do it. Head freeze!

It's so so at best. They do serve the coldest draft beer in town though.

Ate there today and was so disappointed
I used to live 5 min from the joint down in Crestwood Edition
We didnt finish our meal,paid our tab with tip and departed
Beer was cold,the era has ended for that place IMO
Ill hit the Railhead next time in town,square deal every time there

that wasn't Angelos though
you pay before you eat there

who are they?

Hipsters that cook some legit Q.

OK . . . I over stated on the pay/tip thing.WE TIPPED AND LEFT how bout that!

I lived ten minutes from them off of University
I still own the same house and Angelos is still next to the Army Surplus
Right down the street is the VIP Club,racked a many of balls in that dive for 25yrs
POINT . . . .REMAINS . . . . .I AINT GOING BACK TO ANGELO's for Q.
Ill eat with the old school WBAP 820 crew at the Railhead,Ive been in Dick's Chopper more then a few many times when he had it.
He parked it at Meachum Field when I worked maintenance on the airport after the oilfield crash in 81 out in west Texas.
Anymore Angelo history you might require,Im well versed from 1981 to present.

That they are,I know some Comp cooks that give that joint praise for a retail shack

I recently tried the brisket at Railhead in Willow Park and the day I went it was like eating a pot roast... looking forward to trying the Smoke Pits new location when they move to the old Sammie's location on Belknap...

its improving. Skeet (George's Son) passed away in december. Now Jason and his wife are running it. Food is improving and more consistent. They've added craft beer and marg's. There is still better out there by far; but its coming back to what it used to be.

Railhead in WP is pretty much a hit or miss deal. I've had some pretty decent brisket from there but I've also had the "pot roast" style you had. I don't willingly eat there anymore. (great place to have a drink or two, though) The last I heard on the Smoke Pit (from a regular there) was that the opening of the old Sammie's is on hold and may not happen at all.



Really glad to hear this - I would love to be a regular customer again. 70's & 80's Angelo's was great but they haven't been the same since Angelo passed away in the late 90's.

Barbecue is average but the schooner of beer is always the coldest!

Railhead was the best when they were on Vickery St. since they moved they have gone down hill big dog. I judge BBQ by ribs and sauce, Angelo's is the winner hands down......Also if you guys are ever in Graham there is a food trailer here on MWF Daddy Bob's BBQ just as good as Angelo's.....

I remember the vickery location behind the beer barn.
