For barbecue near Addison, head east on LBJ to Strouderosa BBQ, 9090 Skillman Street in Lake Highlands, Dallas. It is about fifteen minutes from Addison Circle. Brisket, ribs and house-made sausage smoked over pecan on site, a dining room open Wednesday through Sunday that a team can book for private dining, and wings, a Hot Dogerosa and a cold beer for the hour after work.
The drive from Addison
Take the Tollway or Midway south to LBJ (I-635), head east past Central Expressway and exit at Skillman, then turn south. The pit is just past the freeway, and the card below tells you which door. Plan on about fifteen minutes from Addison Circle, a touch more from the Galleria at rush hour. Full directions and hours live on the location page.
The one thing Belt Line is missing
Addison can feed you in forty languages, and somehow none of them is pecan smoke. Strouderosa smokes brisket, baby back ribs and house-made sausage on site, low and slow, with sides from scratch. It was voted Reader's Choice Best Barbecue by the Dallas Observer, which covers your side of the Tollway too. The full menu has the board, and the price list has the numbers.
Book the room, or just the hour after work
Office towers along the Tollway empty out at five, and the hour after is the pit's favorite. Smoked wings, a Hot Dogerosa and a Modelo or a Shiner from the beer list cover it for two or three. A whole team, a client dinner or a send-off starts on the private dining page with a date and a guest count, and the room is yours with the smoker next door. Crowds that stay in Addison start on the catering page instead.
What to order after work
Smoked Wings: Dry-rubbed, eight to an order, with ranch made in house.
