Texas-Style Ribs by the Pound on Brooklyn's Flatbush Avenue
At this casual Brooklyn counter, Texas smoke is sold by the pound and piled onto one shared steel tray.
Smoke by the Pound 🔥
Morgan's runs on the Texas principle that smoke and time do the talking. Meats come priced by the pound, letting a table build its own spread, a few ribs here, a scoop of smoked chicken there, everything landing on a steel tray lined with butcher paper. The ribs carry a dark, glossy bark and pull cleanly from the bone, and a bright green herb sauce cuts the richness of the smoked chicken on the same plate. Sides hold their own, with mac and cheese, potato salad, and slaw rounding out the tray, plus a loaded baked potato heaped with bacon and scallions. The room stays casual and unfussy, the kind of counter where you order at the register and settle in. Doors open at noon and stay open until 11 PM every day, which leaves room for an early lunch or a late, unhurried dinner on Flatbush Avenue.
