Si buscas un buen auténtico smokehouse, Big Al's es una parada obligada. Lo mejor de todo es la calidad de la comida: la carne está en su punto, jugosa y con un sabor ahumado espectacular. Además, no escatiman con las porciones, son muy generosas. El servicio me sorprendió por lo rápido y eficiente que fue, y el ambiente es de lo más tranquilo, perfecto para relajarse y comer a gusto. Sin duda volveré.

Was in Dallas for a few days from SoCal, my friend who works for Emirates by chance was working the Dubai-Dallas route and was in town for a bit too. Had to show her a proper Texas BBQ joint and this place didn’t disappoint. 🍖

Big Al’s Smokehouse near Love Field was the perfect first stop after picking up our Army-deployed son and getting him some proper Texas BBQ.
The atmosphere is casual, cool, and exactly what you want in a smokehouse. They had lots of choices, and even fresh fish on Friday, which was a nice surprise. Everything we tried was good. The sauce was really good, and the overall meal hit the spot. The brisket was a little salty for my taste, but still had great flavor.
Good food, relaxed vibe, and a solid Dallas BBQ stop — especially when you’re welcoming someone home with a plate full of Texas.
