If you ask Southern Living, Texas is a pretty great place to eat barbecue. On its list of "The South's Top 50 Barbecue Joints 2019," an impressive 10 of those restaurants are in the Lone Star State. But only one — Cattleack Barbeque — is in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Cattleack Barbeque was listed at No. 11.

The magazine notes Cattleack's odd hours — Thursdays and Fridays, lunch only; and occasional Saturdays — but says the waiting's worth it. The article says pitmaster Todd David's brisket "stands toe-to-toe with the best in Texas."

The restaurant expanded in 2016 to keep up with demand. Over the years, it's been lauded as the best barbecue joint in North Texas.

Cattleack is the only restaurant on the list within a one- or two-hour drive from most addresses in North Texas. But if you're willing to drive farther, four Texas restaurants ranked higher than it did.

Notably, Snow's BBQ in Lexington, Texas, landed at No. 2. If you haven't been: Go.
