Dinner at Riscky's BBQ

Dinner at Riscky's BBQ in Fort Worth's Cowboy Town After visiting several museums in Fort Worth's museum district, it was time to head back to the cowboy town 🚗. A half-hour drive later, we parked and it was already 5 PM ⏰. By that time, the town was packed with people, and every restaurant had a line—after all, everyone was fueling up before the evening cowboy show 🤠🎪! We'd put our names down at three different restaurants, received a bunch of confirmation texts, and waited to see which one would call us first 📱💬. Finally, Riscky's BAR-B-Q sent the message—that was the one! Stepping into this historic restaurant founded in 1927 felt like stepping into a time tunnel ⏳. Wooden beams, old photos, vintage posters—every detail carried a sense of weathered history. In just three years, it'll turn 100 years old. Having a BBQ meal in a place with this much heritage felt like a little ritual in itself 🍖✨. The restaurant was huge, packed inside and out, but turnover was quick, and we were soon shown to a wooden table by the window. The menu had plenty of options, but we didn't hesitate—we went straight for the BBQ platter! The signature smoked ribs truly lived up to their reputation: a caramelized smoky crust outside, tender fall-off-the-bone meat inside, with a sweet-and-spicy sauce and deep smoky flavor—I loved it 😋🔥. The roasted chicken was juicy and flavorful, the steak cooked just right, and even the sides—baked beans and mashed potatoes—were made with care. When the bill came, the total of $70 genuinely surprised me. I'd assumed a dinner in a touristy cowboy town with steak, chicken, and all the fixings would easily run over $100, maybe even $200. But this was so reasonable 💰! With a $14 tip and tax, we got out for under $90—a hearty, satisfying meal at a great price 👍. Walking out of the restaurant, the town was already lit up, and the sounds of singing and laughter from the cowboy show drifted from nearby. That BBQ dinner in a century-old spot didn't just fill our stomachs—it became a warm, genuine memory of our Fort Worth trip 🌆🍽️. #FortWorth#CowboyTown#BBQ#HistoricEats#TexasTravel#FoodMemory
