Good BBQ, but far from the best
by thebestcritic at Citysearch
I've been eating at The Swinging Door for 25 years, and it's good, really good, but certainly not the best around. The prices have gotten out of line over the years. Average prices are 25-30% higher than average. Service is poor at best. Meats are good, but sides are very lacking. Potato salad is sub par; raisins in slaw?? Where did that come from...New York City?? Brisket is the best choice; ribs are really fatty and greasy. The atmosphere and location is what really makes the place. Biggest draw is their custom cooking, bring your meat and they will smoke it for a reasonable fee.
- Pros: Brisket; Ambience; Sauce
- Cons: Price; Service; Parking

Average Brisket
by slb5547 at Citysearch
Great atmosphere and decor, but the brisket was dried out. I would rather eat brisket with no sauce but I had to dump a ton of sauce to make it good. I paid 13 dollars for my meal which is too much for a BBQ joint. Not anywhere near the upper echelon of Texas BBQ places. Though the potato salad is amazing.
- Pros: atmosphere
- Cons: waiters, pricey
