Reader Pick
Travis and Emma Heim's smokers are on a roll. The duo opened Heim BBQ on Magnolia Avenue last year and will open another location in the former VFW location in The River District at a to-be-determined date. A consistently packed restaurant and an overwhelming amount of reader votes indicate that there's a demand for it.
1109 W. Magnolia Ave.

Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que
Located in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, Cooper's lets diners select their cut of meat, which is sliced right in the service line. They offer traditional sides like potato salad, cole slaw, beans, and also corn on the cob. Just make sure you save room for a piece of one of Cooper's cobblers at the end.
