The Scene – Photos and soundtracks of Roy Rogers, horseshoes on the walls, vintage signs and old-style booths put this place squarely in the 1950s. There's even an advertisement from a predecessor restaurant showing sandwiches for a dime. Peggy's is the third restaurant incarnation in this squat building since more than half a century ago. And it packs in a varied crowd--college professors, families with strollers, and diners wearing leather pants. – – The Food – For decades, Peggy's cooks have been perfecting not just their rendition of Texas 'cue, but veggie dishes…

Nashville does BBQ better!
by CheerfulOne
A cute place with gingham tablecloths, boots on the windowsill and horseshoes. The food is very mediocre. The ribs were bland. The brisket dry. The waitstaff was polite and attentive. Better than Sonny Bryan's at Macy's but still not great BBQ. I had - way - better at the North Carolina airport. No kidding.
- Pros: Casual, homey environment
- Cons: Food is not good.

Avoid this place
by jstell
We were in Dallas from Houston and decided to go to this restaurant based on recommendations from this site. We were very disappointed and see why this place did not make the Texas Monthly Best 50. My companion had the Barbecue chicken which was dry, overcooked, and almost tasteless. I had the combo ribs, sausage, and brisket. The ribs were actually pretty good being tender, tasty, and have a good a good smoke taste. The brisket was very dry, tough, and did not have the have taste of barbecue. The sausage was OK but not memorable. Even the side dishes were mediocre at best. I had the beans and potato salad. The potato salad was good, but the beans of all things were almost tasteless with little spice added. My companion had the mashed potatoes and squash casserole. The potatoes had more peal than potatoes and the squash casserole was very bland. Even the peach cobbler, which the server built up, was a disaster. The peaches were obviously canned with what appeared to be a canned biscuit crust. Even the Blue Bell Ice Cream had ice crystals. I had the salad bar which I enjoyed. The service was good, but the food made this a miserable outing. If this place was ever good, it is resting on its laurels and needs to take a serious look at the poor quality of food it is serving.
- Pros: Thumbs down-Other than the ribs, some of the lousiest barbeque I have had.
- Cons: Service and decor were nice.

Service and dessert is good
by Lizzygoo
First time visiting Dallas and Peggy Sue's was recommended by a friend. The BBQ was not as good as the reviews state. I had the Rib Combo, the meat was very tender but I thought the dry rubbed spareribs lacked flavor. The spicy bbq sauce was very tasty so I used alot of that. The summer squash casserole and peach cobbler are worth the trip. My friends had brisket and chicken and said that was very good. Service was fast.
The Details on Peggy Sue Bbq
Where to Park:
Since Peggy's serves great food smack in the middle of the SMU area, parking is tight. If the Plaza is packed, there's some parking in the street.
Where to Sit:
Of the two dining rooms, skip the one blaring the TV news. Try near the salad bar for proximity to food and less noise.
