OAK'D opened its original location in Dallas during the pandemic. This second outpost has a large patio and some games in addition to the great plates of barbecue.
OAK'D BBQ has lots of shiny new toys in Addison, but the barbecue is still the main attraction. in November 2020. When we covered that opening of OAK'D, Lane was working behind the scenes while consulting for another restaurant, so he preferred to stay in the shadows. While Lane's name may not have been in the spotlight, we came away impressed with the barbecue being turned out under his guidance.
Lest you think the games and the bar are gimmicks, rest assured that OAK'D still has a strong barbecue game, too. We popped in just before the end of the daily happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m., so we were able to get a tray of tasty nachos topped with pulled pork for just 10 bucks, available at the bar only. There's plenty of cheese, bell peppers, jalapeños and succulent pork for two people to share, and the tortilla chips are sturdy enough to hold up to the load of toppings.
Lane gave us a quick tour of the restaurant and smokehouse and shared some of his other plans in the works. On weekends, OAK'D is going to experiment with live music at one end of the spacious dining room after the regular dinner service ends, with a small stage rolled out for the occasion. Lane's father was an Army doctor, so supporting troops is something that feels natural for him. The extra-large kitchen and smoking capacity of the Addison location allows OAK'D to do more meals for good causes, whether it's an upcoming cookout for Dallas and surrounding cities' police departments, or feeding an entire brigade of Army reservists and their families before the soldiers deployed to Kuwait last year.
