North Texas’s Beloved Bar-B-Que Brand Included in Highly Competitive List
Dallas, TX (RestaurantNews.com) Eat This, Not That! Released its curated list of the Best Regional Barbecue Chains to Try at Least Once featuring North Texas’s beloved legacy bar-b-que brand, Soulman’s Bar-B-Que, at number seven. The prestigious list, which included three Texas-based chains, is based on a combination of expert opinions, customer reviews, and industry research. They typically consider factors such as:
- Regional Popularity & Reputation – Chains that have a strong local following and are well-known in their respective regions.
- Quality of Food – Reviews from customers and critics about the taste, authenticity, and preparation of the barbecue.
- Awards & Recognition – Accolades from food critics, BBQ competitions, or industry publications.
- Expansion & Growth – How well a chain has grown while maintaining quality, but still remaining a “regional” brand rather than a national giant.
- Uniqueness & Tradition – Whether the chain offers a distinct BBQ style (e.g., Texas, Kansas City, Carolina) and maintains traditional smoking methods.
The selection process often relies on expert recommendations, online ratings (like Yelp, Google Reviews), and firsthand experiences from food writers.
“As we celebrate 50 years of serving North Texas diners and communities, to be included on the Eat This, Not That! list of the Best Regional Barbecue Chains is the most recent feather in our cap of achievements for our family-owned and operated bar-b-que mainstay,” says Brett Randle, CEO of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que. “Throughout the years, we have remained true to the original Soulman’s strive for success and customer satisfaction and, in addition to Eat This, Not That, we are honored to be considered one of the Best Roadside Restaurants in America by America Online, one Top Bar-B-Que Chains in America by Daily Meal, the Best Bar-B-Que in Dallas for Takeout & Delivery by Thrillist, one of the Best Bar-B-Que Chains in America by Insider Monkey and one of the Must Try Bar-B-Que Joints in Dallas-Fort Worth by Zagat.”
