Barbecue
The line forms before opening at this austere barbecue counter, where pitmaster John Bates works post oak low and slow. A salt-and-pepper brisket anchors the menu, but the peach tea-glazed pork belly and beer-brined turkey reveal a kitchen unafraid of flavor; sides like smoked scalloped potatoes and poblano creamed corn elevate the ritual beyond meat and smoke.

Rank 15. Tare
Omakase Sushi
Tare occupies an unmarked second-floor perch where Chef Michael Carranza conducts a kappo-style service, dry-aging Japanese fish alongside Spanish tuna and New Zealand trout. The nigiri foundation gives way to restless elaboration—ruby fish with salsa macha, toro tartare in chicharrón, scallop with chorizo—a Texas accent on Japanese discipline.
