Best Barbecue in Fort Worth · Fort Worth, TX
Angelo's Bar-B-Que has smoked brisket and ribs in Fort Worth since 1958, when Angelo George opened a dim, taxidermy-lined beer hall that quickly became a Texas barbecue landmark. The ritual is unchanged: order at the counter, get sliced brisket or a pork rib, and drink a frosted schooner of beer so cold it's nearly slush.
A no-frills temple of old-school Texas 'cue, Angelo's is the 2026 Centurion Award winner in Fort Worth.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.
