With its simple brick exterior and
large red awning, Metzler's Bar-B-Q,
tucked away off of Teasley Drive
on Londonderry Lane, looks more
like a small town storefront than a
Bar-B-Q joint.
This location is one of two in
Denton that promises "Texas'
Tastiest Bar-B-Q," and while it's defi-
nitely not the best in Texas, Metzler's
serves up quality food in a low-key
atmosphere at a reasonable cost.
A large counter with a menu over-
head greets customers when they
first enter the restaurant. To the left
is a large room filled with racks of
various wines and cases of specialty
beers.
Customers dining in can take a
seat in one of the two rooms to the
right. Wood paneling, tile floors
and various plastic plants further
enhance the feeling of small-town
Texas. However, what Metzler's
lacks in aesthetic appeal it makes
up for with its take on Bar-B-Q and
German fare.
The menu offers a variety of appe-
tizers, ranging from a hot sausage
sampler to cheese fries.
The beer-battered mushrooms for
$4.75 were golden brown and piping
hot. The flavor of the crunchy, beer-

battered exterior worked well with
the soft, juicy mushrooms. Served
with a cool ranch dipping sauce,
these tastymorsels make for a great
start to any meal.
Entrees are broken up into catego-
ries, including Bar-B-Q, sandwiches,
salads, veggies, grilled options, fried
options and German food.

a Bar-B-Q plate with a choice of
two meats and two sides. The meat
choices include ribs, ham, hot links
and smoked turkey. Side options
range from German potatoes to
fried okra.
While the brisket was smothered
a bit too much in the tangy Bar-B-Q
sauce, the meat was tender and
juicy. The sausage was spiced with
the perfect amount of pepper. The
heap of German potato salad was
chunky and flavorful.
Reuben sandwiches and sausage
and sauerkraut on rye were just a few
of the German items on the menu.
The German burger for $5.25
includes a generous patty of ground
chuck, grilled onions, swiss cheese
and German mustard, which
is similar to Dijon mustard. The
patty was a little well done, but the
sharp flavors from the melted Swiss
cheese, grilled onions and mustard
added a kick to the otherwise bland
patty.
While it may not be the best
barbecue establishment in Texas,
Metzler's Bar-B-Q offers good food
for the price. With its small-town,
laid back feel and friendly staff, it's
no wonder it's been a Denton staple
for the past 65 years.
