Named in honor of Fort Worth’s nickname, Panther City BBQ began as a food truck before landing this space with both indoor and outdoor seating. This is central Texas-style barbecue with meat slow-cooked on offset pits. Here, they dole out Texan classics while also leaning into Tex-Mex offerings like brisket burritos, brisket elote, and street tacos. Arrive early to avoid long lines to savor the likes of expertly smoked, thickly sliced brisket with a pepper-heavy rub or tender, shredded pulled pork. As with any good barbecue spot, the sides are attention grabbing, and some of their hits include spicy smoked mac and cheese and potato salad with baked, smashed potato and red potatoes mixed with shredded cheese, green onion, and mayonnaise.
