Woodyard Bar-B-Que

"A Texan might accuse the Woodyard pitmaster of making an end run around the Lone Star bean prohibition, but we think the combination of mild bean chili and burnt ends atop it is inspired. This is not always on the menu, but if it is when you visit, I highly recommend it."
Michael Stern






"Everything you need to dress up your chili -- including Fritos -- is arrayed on a table near the door to the patio. Nice as these looked, I ate mine au naturel."
Michael Stern



"Here is a burnt-end sandwich that I got to go. Unfortunately I forgot to get a fork to go with it, so it became finger food."
Michael Stern



"The ambience of this rustic barbecue is delightful. If you dine outside, sweet smoke from the pit will waft across the table."
Michael Stern



"If you've got a pit of your own, the Woodyard has the logs you need."
