About...
The Texas Bar-B-Q Tour starts with a train ride on the TRE (Trinity Railway Express) to the T&P Train Station in downtown Fort Worth. There you board a clean air conditioned bus. The tour stops at three of the top six award winning Bar-B-Q restaurants in Fort Worth/Dallas, rated by D Magazine story by Daniel Vaughn. At each restaurant you will savor their signature Bar-B-Q. If the pitmaster can break away from the fire, he will join us for a Q&A. It is fascinating to hear about their choices of wood, meats and cooking temperatures. As we drive through the city, you will hear the history of Fort Worth/Dallas. We will point out restaurants, landmarks and places of interest. You will see the Water Gardens, Sundance Square, The Historic Stockyards and many more sites. Photo opportunities will be available at the Fort Worth Water Gardens, Stockyards, Cowboys Stadium and the Ballpark in Arlington. If you leave hungry it's your own fault...

Getting to the tour is easy but depends on where you are...
If you are staying near DFW Airport... Most hotels will provide shuttle service to Center Port Station or Terminal D at the airport.

You will see a clear sign marking the lane for the bus to Center Port. Catch the next ride and you will see your tour guide at the next stop. Be sure to arrive by 11:00 a.m. . You won't want to miss this!
