01 / THE CALL
Why this stop
The short lunch window matters here: 11am to 2pm, Monday through Friday. Brisket and pulled-pork plates are regular menu choices. The rib plate is marked Thursday only. If ribs are the reason for the trip, check the menu and choose your day first.
02 / USE THIS STOP
Plan around the weekday lunch window
Tex's World Famous Bar-B-Q at 1013 Foster Avenue calls its food Texas-style barbecue and publishes an 11am to 2pm Monday-Friday lunch window. The menu separates ordinary brisket and pulled-pork plates from a rib plate marked Thursday only. That makes the day of the week as important as the meat choice, especially if ribs are the purpose of the visit.
Pick a regular plate
On an ordinary weekday, compare the listed beef brisket and pulled-pork plates before heading to the Foster Avenue restaurant.
Reserve Thursday for ribs
The official menu labels the rib plate Thursday only, so verify that listing if ribs are the reason you are making the trip.
Protect the lunch window
Tex's publishes service from 11am to 2pm Monday through Friday; confirm the current window before traveling outside a standard lunch break.
