Dayne's Craft Barbecue

I came to Dayna’s with high expectations and the food exceeded those expectations. They say you never forget your first time, and my brisket and bacon sandwich turned out to be a great choice for my first time. It was very, very good. And the banana bourbon delight was so good it was bad. Amazing actually— but so rich you won’t physically be able to finish it, and so good you’ll just keep eating it anyways.

We showed up around 1230 on a Friday. There was a bit of a line that stretched about 5 people deep outside the door, which ended up being about a 35 minute wait to get to the counter. There were 3 of us and we decided to get the "Fort Worth the Wait". It took what seemed like only about 5 minutes for the food to arrive and oh my, what a glorious looking plate of food. All of the meat was moist and the sides were creative...everything was delicious. It very much felt like a small town family owned and run restaurant. The staff we interacted with were both helpful and friendly. We ended up bringing so much food home that even though the plate was $95, it was definitely well worth the time and money.

Great food, great atmosphere, and an all-around awesome experience.

Stopped in here on a September Saturday around 11am, only wated about 15 minutes. Everything we had was great. I haven’t had them all yet but this brisket belongs in the TM Top 10. Sausage was outstanding, just the right heat and texture. Potato salad was solid and the slaw was slightly different in a good way, all were great sides including the pickled onions and bread. The team was friendly and I expect to make the trek from dallas soon.

Pictured is the Fort Worth The Wait platter. (We upsized the sides to Large). I have a very high bar when it comes to BBQ. Dayne's cleared it with room to spare. I cannot comment on the sauce(s). I don't use them and the fare should not be dependant on them. The sides were supportive and performed well, no notes. The ribs were adequately rubbed and glazed. The meat literally fell off the bone and luckily landed on my plate. The sausages were (blueberry/gouda & traditional) both were tasteful and toothy. The pulled pork met expectations, no notes. The sliced beef... was perfect. The standout was the sliced turkey. Turkey can be a fickle bird under the best circumstances for any preperation. Hickory smoking is, by far, the most fiddley. When it comes to smoking, turkey acts like a spon
