HOURS:  Monday thru Thursday 11AM - 10PM / Friday & Saturday 11AM - 11PM / Sun 11-9

Enjoyed lunch at The Ranch at Las Colinas.  Food and service were excellent.  While I did not stay low carb and went off the rails, this was kind of worth it just to enjoy some different types of food we cannot get in Hawaii.  The restaurant is huge with indoor and outdoor covered seating plus outdoor patio seating.  We started with the Chef's Favorite "4" appetizer platter.  Huge Onion Rings, Queso Blanco, Fried Green Tomatoes and Elk Tacos.  Everything here was delicious.  I loved the Elk Tacos and could have ate four of them myself.  The Queso Blanco Dip served with Tortilla Chips was addicting and I could not stop eating it.  Onion Rings were huge and so tasty with a little ketchup.  I even liked the Fried Green Tomatoes.  This was carb overload so I kept it to one Onion Ring and one Fried Green Tomato.  I had the Texas Hot Chicken Sandwich.  It was good but not too hot.  Wish it had a bit more heat or hot sauce.
My friend enjoyed the Chicken Fried Chicken and liked it.  I would definitely recommend this place and would LOVE to return to try more menu items.

No complaints about my meal at the Hard Eight Pit BBQ just outside Dallas.  This is a classic BBQ joint where you pick your meat and pay by the pound.  You start by standing in line that weaves it way towards the pit.  The pit contains all kinds of BBQ meats, corn and sausage.  You simply tell the Pit Master what you want and he throws it on the plate.  When you are done with your choices, another person places your tray on a scale.  My plate came out to $19.99.  From the meats you walk down the line and pick out your sides.  I went with Cole Slaw and Onion Rings.

HARD EIGHT PIT BBQ JUST OUTSIDE DALLAS, TEXAS
LARGE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS
GO THROUGH THE LINE UNTIL YOU GET TO THE PIT
DID NOT REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE MENU AS YOUR EYES ARE DRAWN TO THE PIT
THE PIT HOLDS SO MANY DELIGHTS
CHOOSE WHAT YOU LIKE AND THEY PUT IT ON YOUR TRAY
FIRST TIMERS CAN TELL THE PIT MASTER THAT THEY WANT A COMBINATION

PICK YOUR SIDES - POTATO SALAD, RICE OR COLE SLAW
HEAD DOWN THE LINE AND PAY FOR YOUR TRAY OF FOOD
LAST STOP IS DESSERTS
MY TRAY INCLUDED A TEXAS FLAG AND WAS $20
PRETTY GOOD ONION RINGS BUT WHO HAS ROOM AFTER ALL THAT MEAT
