The Swinging Door

4.5

About this business

This popular restaurant looks like something straight out of a western movie. The barn-like exterior and wooden floors add the perfect touch of rusticity. A live band plays out back on Friday and Saturdays. Put on your boots and get ready for some two-stepping. Bring your appetite and sample all the Texas barbecue you can handle. The brisket, chicken and ribs are superb but save a little room for some blackberry or peach cobbler. It just might be the best this side of the Mississippi River.

like the swinging door but why doesn't it ever make Texas Monthlys top 50 list for great BBQ? With all the backwoods old west charm the Swinging door should be on the list. I love the heel end of their briquette but find the lean end a little rubbery and I'm not sure what causes this my thought is cooking too high a heat for too short a time. Does anyone have some imput because I would like to see our neighborhood BBQ be the best in Texas!!! Sausage is fair, but I have never had sausage as good as Lulling City Market They ma... read more

Went to The Swinging Door for the first time tonight. Our waitress Kim was amazing! Very patient and accommodating. She went over the menu with us after realizing it was our first time, gave recommendations and was extremely friendly. The food was some of the best barbecue we've had yet and nice big portions. We ended up with the Super (3 meat and 3 vegetables), Combo (2 meat and 2 vegetables) and a loaded baked potato and it was more than enough food for two adults and two boys. Turns out we accidentally left my son's iPad ... read more
