It's hard to say enough about Mac's barbecue.  Mac's has been serving up barbecue lunchs in East Dallas since the 50s.  Billy is the current pitmaster. His Daddy started the restaurant and Billy has been doing it old fashioned ever sense he took over after his Dad passed away.

From the moment you walk in, you know this is country barbecue.  Simple dining area, easy going atmosphere and the aroma of some of the best meat around. Billy does all the smoking, cooking and serving.

  
His brisket is tender, sausage is smoked to perfection as well as nice and firm, the ribs have this amazing smoke that is hard to beat.
 
It's hard to find a better plate of ribs out there.

 Now this is ONLY a lunch spot.  True to Texas barbecue tradition.  He's open during the week from 11a-2p so get it while he's open.

One of my favorite lunchs there is a sausage sandwich with beans and fries.

It's a plate full of heavenly delights and I highly recommend it.  The sauce is favorful with a nice bit to it.  Not to much though. It really compliments the meat rather than over shadow it.

I would put the meat in order...

Ribs
Sausage
Brisket

It's such a judgement call and if you ask me tomorrow, I'll probably flip the brisket and sausage.  They are both very good. I've even had the turkey there and it's clean, pure and smoked to perfection.  
The beans are definitely a ranch style bean.  Very good though. 

You can't go wrong with Mac's. In fact, if you get there at the right time, you just might find yourself with Billy sitting nearby talking to the customers about anything from the weather to politics.

Enjoy.
