The Swinging Door

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.

This place was E.P.I.C. The food was unbelievable and the whole place just had this completely authentic Texas vibe - right down to the slightly gruff server who was perfect. 

Business response:

Jennifer, it was epic having you here! We're all about authenticity and love to keep things real at our place. Thanks for showing your support! -The Team at The Swinging Door

BBQ was great. They must have changed the cobbler recipe. It is not the same and not as good. Of course I got it to go so no ice cream on top but it was not good like it used to be. 

Business response:

Lynn, it's swell you enjoy our BBQ! Thanks for the feedback regarding our cobbler. Just let the team know if you feel the same way next time you order it -- we'll be sure to make note of this moving forward! -The Team at The Swinging Door
