Angelo's Bar-B-Que
Best Barbecue in Fort Worth · TX
Hickory-smoked brisket and a frosted schooner since 1958.
Angelo's Bar-B-Que has smoked brisket and ribs in Fort Worth since 1958, when Angelo George opened a dim, taxidermy-lined beer hall that quickly became a Texas barbecue landmark. The ritual is unchanged: order at the counter, get sliced brisket or a pork rib, and drink a frosted schooner of beer so cold it's nearly slush.
A no-frills temple of old-school Texas 'cue, Angelo's is the 2025 Centurion Award winner in Fort Worth.
