Thank you for always doing such a great job for us! Since 1994 we have depended on you to cater our company functions, both internal and external. You have helped us entertain customers in groups of all sizes ranging from 10 to 600. Not once have you disappointed us.....Jill Brock Hurd, President/CEO All-Tex Pipe & Supply, Inc. Everyone remarked about the excellence of the food, the service was great, the beer was cold, and the casual atmosphere was exactly what my son and his bride wanted...Mark A.

Dallas Morning News announces Baker's Ribs is bringing fried pies to the State Fair of Texas “The current breaking news is that Dallas’ own Baker’s Ribs has secured a space on the midway and will be serving both sweet and savory fried pies." The Baker family will be returning to familiar stomping grounds. Its matriarch, Jeanne Baker, spent almost four decades working for the State Fair, starting as a secretary in the exhibits department and eventually serving as the department’s director. Baker retired in 1994. Her daughter, Suzie Duncan, said the family is thrilled to have an opportunity “to become part of the fried food tradition at the greatest fair in the nation. I was raised on the fairgrounds, and it feels as if I’m coming home.” See Entire Article. |

In search for the great BBQ hunt, Baker's Ribs was reviewed. "Since Baker's has ribs right in the name, I saved them for last. These pigsicles were meaty, St. Louis-cut and cooked to perfection. They had a good flavor, not at all hammy, and were tender without falling off onto your plate...." See entire blog. |

Dallas Observer First Look at Baker's Ribs Deep Ellum new location with the Original Fried Pie Shop...."The Original Fried Pie Shop stands alone, with its own counter and register. One could order fried pies and never have to deal with the barbecue line. Or one could easily dabble in both. If we were one, that's what one would do."See entire blog |

Weatherford Baker's Ribs named best of 2012 by Weatherford Telegram on January 25, 2012. |

On our visit for Tunes N' Spoons with Toro y Moi, we enjoyed a sampling of delicious meats including ribs, brisket, chicken, turkey, ham, and sausage. While all of these options offered a delicious payoff, the consensus of the table was that the brisket stole the show. Tender and juicy with a nicely charred exterior holding in a symphony of flavors, this brisket served as a lesson in perfection when it comes to the art of Texas barbecue. Anyone with a carnivorous appetite who finds themselves remotely near the 2700 block of Commerce Street, right in the heart of Deep Ellum, would be doing themselves a great disservice to miss out on a trip to this legendary establishment...

Dallas News says Baker's Ribs: A Delightful Surprise..."I have to say, the barbecue was pretty great. The ribs were big and very meaty, nicely smoky, nicely seasoned. They didn't really need sauce, but the sauce was good: tangy and a little spicy. But the surprise hit was the brisket: really moist, juicy, meltingly tender, incredibly flavorful. It needed a little salt. But this was good stuff. My crowd went crazy for it..." |

The best of the bunch were from Baker's Ribs in Dallas. Pitmaster Joe Duncan has a handful of restaurants in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area. I didn't know if they would measure up to Texas legends like Black's BBQ and Kreuz Market, but these St. Louis-style ribs were stellar. Meaty, peppery, charred on the ends, the pork still had a satisfying chew after its time in the smoker. A light dash of Baker's tangy tomato and vinegar sauce went great with the meat, great enough that I bought a bottle to take home. The ribs came with a pile of jalapeño coleslaw, easily my favorite side of the weekend. A little heat, a little creaminess, and a crisp bite to the cabbage -- I lost track of my fork in the excitement, but I was happy to scoop up the slaw with my fingers. Read Article |

BBQ08 - Good sign number one: the smell. Good sign number two: Cops eat here. Good sign number three: The countermen want to talk about their food. The brisket was outrageous, with a thick black crust, a ragged red layer, and a juicy core that pulled apart easily (it’s cooked fifteen hours over mesquite). The chicken was moist, and the pulled pork was smokier than the greasy ribs. Bottles of the thin sauce (with a little kick) are kept in warming trays. MH . Read Article. |

Lexus Magazine 2007 says this about Baker's Ribs: "One of the best barbecue meals of my life was eaten in the parking lot adjacent to the Commerce Street Baker’s outlet in Dallas (they have nine others in the state). Fresh from the airport, I arrived two minutes after the doors closed. “I’ll eat whatever you have left” I told them through the locked door. “Please!” And then, a moment of grace: Barbecue of an indeterminate type was handed over, money changed hands, and I trudged to the parking lot. Heaven." |
