The best BBQ I’ve ever had! I heard about this Fort Worth staple from my friends. My favorites were the ribs, brisket, burnt ends, and jalapeno cheese sausage, pretty much all of it! For sides we got the mac, elote brisket, potato salad, and beans. Definitely coming back next time I visit Texas!

I've been hearing about this place for a very long time and today I was able to stop and visit. There was no line, which was super cool. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Restrooms were clean, as well as the dining room seating area.
As far as the food, it was hit and miss for me. I did not like their mac/cheese, the collard greens were very good. The half chicken was so-so. Jalapeño cheddar glizzy, the brisket, chopped brisket sandwich and the banana pudding were all good.
You should at least visit once and see for yourself. I'll give you that!

Oh my! The food is beyond amazing! We got the Southside Slammer so we could try several meats, brisket elotes, a smashburger, and banana pudding. Everything was absolutely excellent. We had enough leftover to make another meal for both of us. Even though it was about 95° with a feels-like of 100°, the patio was very comfortable with a nice breeze.

Lovely barbecue joint. Go early for best selection. We were not impressed with the burger, not much flavor. But the pulled pork tacos and all the fixings were very tasty. The corn was very rich, can’t eat too much of it! Loved the large outdoor seating area.

Panther City BBQ is a great local Texas BBQ restaurant with a true Fort Worth vibe.
First, and definitely important, is parking. Yes, this restaurant has a parking lot with lots of available free parking around. I post that first, since it's still considered downtown and everything is typically paid parking.
The location is less than a mile and a half from downtown 'downtown' Ft Worth. If you're in Ft Worth, the double downtown will make sense.
Okay now for the good stuff..FOOD! They have a great variety of entrees. If you're looking for an idea, you can't go wrong with the cheese pepper sausage and Mac & cheese for starters. As for dessert I would recommend the nutter butter dish (it's like cheesecake, pudding and nutter butter bars). As for the price, it's actually inexpensive for the area so there's no reason not to order or 4 links of the sausage (and they are large serving size).
The wait staff is courteous, attentive and responsive.
This is definitely a 'must stop in and try' if your in and around downtown.
