Okay BillUSA, Google away. Here is another top secret barbecue spot in East Texas: The Hickory House in Frankston, Texas. It’s a wee little spot on Highway 155 just north of Highway on 175 on the outskirts of Frankston. The family owned and operated Hickory House is only open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until 8:00p.m. The ribs are boiled too much before smoking for me, but the brisket melts in your mouth and the sauce is vinegary and sweet.
The real star here—onion rings. The onions slices are thick and lightly breaded. I have asked the owner what the batter is so many times she laughs in my face. (My guess is finely ground corn flakes or corn meal.) Plus you can get a free copy of the Constitution with every meal. Pat Sharpe, get there fast. (Two hours SE of Dallas)
