Pour out some barbecue sauce for the homie as one of the most-lauded barbecue restaurants in North Texas has reportedly closed its doors.

According to WFAA, Off the Bone BBQ in Forest Hill reportedly ceased operations earlier this year, with its former address now listed as belonging to a Michoacan-style carnitas spot on Google.


Off the Bone was listed as the best barbecue in DFW in a 2010 article in D Magazine.

The magazine wrote at the time, "If you can recognize all the signs of a great barbecue joint, then it's no wonder that Off the Bone BBQ in Forest Hill (on the southeast side of Fort Worth and not connected to the restaurant with the same name in Dallas) has reached the pinnacle of local barbecue establishments.

"Briskets are slow-smoked for up to 20 hours, which is evidenced by their thick, black crust and deep red smoke ring. The meat isn't falling-apart tender but requires just enough tooth to bite through."

Off the Bone was previously located at 5144 Mansfield Highway in a former Dairy Queen in Forest Hill.
