Pecan Lodge Nutrition Facts

Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum is Dallas's most iconic BBQ joint. Brisket, pulled pork, and smoked turkey plates deliver 40-55g protein. Named #1 BBQ in Dallas by Texas Monthly. The restaurant sits in Deep Ellum and is part of the broader Dallas, Texas dining scene.

Texas-style barbecue is a high-protein meal disguised as comfort food. Lean brisket runs about 26g protein per 4oz with roughly 12g fat — fatty/moist brisket nearly doubles the fat. Smoked turkey, pulled chicken, and pork ribs are the leaner picks; sausage and burnt ends are the calorie bombs. Order the meat by weight rather than plates with sides, and you'll dial in your macros precisely. Pickles and onions are free; potato salad, mac and cheese, and creamed corn are not.

For an athlete-ready order at Pecan Lodge, anchor on the protein and swap or skip the calorie-heavy sides. Best macro pick: A 4-6oz lean brisket or smoked turkey plate (~30g protein) with pickled vegetables instead of mac and cheese. Watch out for: Burnt ends, sausage, and the side trio of mac/potato salad/creamed corn — calorie load without matching protein.
