4/1/11 Arlington, TX So the best BBQ in the world is a toss up between Bill Miller's and the brisket sandwich at Boston Market... April Fools!! Seriously, Eddie Deen's gets A's in several areas like the RIBS. Very good balance of everything, taste, texture, color, you name it. They are tender, but not too much to let go of the bone while you're munching down. They are the smaller style, St. Louis style I think it's called. Anyway the brisket kinda sucks. Not a Bill Miller kind of sucks, but compared to the ribs at Eddie Deen's, the brisket is tough and uninteresting. No problem really, the BBQ sauce is good enough to give it some taste and soften it up a little.
Sides here are top of the line. The beans have big chunks of sausage floating around (sorry Coopers and Hard 8, it's better than the jalapino boats sailing the seas of beans). The pickle slices are the big, THICK kind that have the ridges. Much preferred over the thin, smooth pickels that have neither heart nor soul. Another supercool thing they do at Eddie Deen's is give you a bun to make a sanwich if you like. The bun tastes fresh, so they either make them on site or get them from some bakery. These were not born into a Mrs. Bairds plastic bag.
In all I'll give them an B++, ok because it's literally right accross the street from Cowboys Stadium I'll give them an A-- (that's A-minus-minus which is a fraction lower than A-minus). Congratulations to Eddie Deen's for likely achieving an "A" grade with crap brisket. What a crazy world we live in!
