225 degree BBQ, Arlington 9/10/26

 

sampled 9/10/26 about 12:30 pm

Our third trip to 225 and it was as good as our first two trips.  We had some friends from Austin along and they left impressed.  I got my usual 3 meat plate plus 5 twinkies and a half pound of pork belly burnt ends.  Everything was super juicy and tender with awesome smoke flavor in the twinkies.    


I have upgraded this joint to my local favorite over Dayne's.  I do think Dayne's is a little better.  They should be, finishing in the top 10 in the last Texas Monthly BBQ issue.  However this place is only 9 miles from my home and Dayne's is 40 miles away.

One of my friends got the giant brisket loaded potato and she scarfed most of it up.  A bargain at just $13.  I was mighty impressed that she almost ate all of it.

Their pricing is still a bargain.  If this joint is not on your radar, it should be.  We got there at about 12:15 and were customers #4 and #5.  There should be a line out the door, but there's not, yet.  By the time we left, I think they were up to order #16.  If they can hang on til the next Texas Monthly BBQ issue comes out I am convinced they will be in the top 50.  I'm going to do my part to help keep them around.  They even give you a cash discount!
