It’s like a university’s bookstore on steroids, there’s so much merchandise (gifts & décor, not just clothes).

But the college collectibles/apparel expands well beyond the state of Texas into Arkansas and Oklahoma. There’s tons of OU and Oklahoma State merchandise as well as other Big 12 schools like University of Kansas, Kansas State, and Missouri.

Bodacious Bar-B-Q

Why settle for barbecue that’s just okay when you can have Bodacious BBQ…and a Sloppy Jo for $1.50! Veggies are made from scratch daily, and meats are Mesquite smoked.

Bodacious BBQ
1206 E. Division (two blocks from Cowboys Stadium)
Hours: Tues-Sat 11am-7pm; Mon 11am-3pm; Closed Sundays
(817) 860-4248
www.realtexasbarbeque.com

When out-of-state visitors come to town and want some real Texas barbecue, I like to take them to Bodacious Bar-B-Q. And when I’m traveling down Division Street and get a hankering for something fast and inexpensive, I stop for the Sloppy Jo that’s just $1.50 (less than a Sonic burger).

Bodacious smokes their meat daily with Mesquite wood, not with gas or electric pits, so you know the meat is fresh. Veggies are from scratch, also made daily. And you don’t have to order the sweet tea, but why miss out on one of the simple pleasures of life?!? I could say the same thing about the homemade banana pudding.

Bodacious is on E. Division, just a couple blocks from Cowboys Stadium and Rangers Ballpark. It’s a good place to stop prior to a Rangers game and load-up before heading to the Ballpark. But the restaurant is only open until 7pm Tuesdays through Saturdays (closed Sundays, open 11am-3pm on Monday).

A good value is the “Bo-Pack Family Meal” for $23.99 which serves 4 and includes a pound of brisket, ½ pound of links or turkey or chicken breast, 2 veggies pints and 4 buns.

Here’s a sample of other menu items/prices…

By the pound: pork ribs ($11.99); all others $10.99 for sliced brisket, chopped brisket, smoked turkey, smoked chicken breast, or hot links. Sloppy Jo meat is also available by the pound ($5.99).

Sandwiches are $4.49 and the sandwich special (w/two veggies) is $6.99. Ranch-hand stew (chopped beef or links in a bowl of beans) is $6.49. The baked potato stuffed with meat is $6.99.

The combination plate (2 or 3 meat choices) and rib plate (1/2 slab) are $10.99 each. The Bar-B-Q Plate (1 meat choice, not ribs) is $8.99.

Kids Plates are just $3.99 (1 smaller portion of meat, 1 veggie). Desserts are $2.59 (pecan pie, homemade banana pudding, cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, lemon ice box pie).

If you’re planning a party or group event, Bodacious caters for groups up to 500 people. Full-service catering is available, of course, as well as pick-up or delivery (10% delivery fee in DFW for groups under 50). Prices start at just $7.50 per person, including tea and place settings (extra for ribs and/or dessert). Call for catering info: (817) 860-4248. There’s also a banquet room so you can also call and ask about reserving it for your party/group.

Bodacious opened their first place in 1960, expanded through East Texas, then opened a location in Arlington in 1991. Overall that’s 50 years of experience and satisfied customers. They also sell their rubs, sauces and spices. In fact, they ship them world-wide (click here for more info: http://realtexasbarbeque.com/texas-bbq-rubs-sauces.htm).

Bodacious Bar-B-Q is located at 1206 E. Division, between N. Collins and Stadium Drive, just two blocks south of Cowboys Stadium.

Following extensive renovations to its long-time home inside the Arlington Music Hall, Johnnie High’s Country Music Review is back each Saturday evening beginning September 11th with new lower tickets prices ($15 adult, $8 kids 11-&-under).

Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue has been a Texas tradition since 1974. The weekly country music variety show was founded by the late Johnnie High, a singer, songwriter and businessman. Johnnie died this past March at age 80, but his legacy lives on through his show.

In 1994, Johnnie moved his weekly revue to Arlington after purchasing an old movie theatre and turning it into the 1,200 seat Arlington Music Hall which is located on Center Street, just one block north of downtown Arlington. Check out the newly remodeled theatre which is also the new home of Symphony Arlington.

The Saturday night Opry-style variety show features an 8 member cast of singers and a band made up of professional musicians and backup singers. During the 34 years of Johnnie’s revue, audiences have been introduced to future superstars such as LeAnn Rimes, Lee Ann Womack, Linda Davis, and Garry Morris. Johnnie’s granddaughter, Ashley Smith, a regular performer and co-host, is the granddaughter of Johnnie High.

For more information and/or to purchase tickets, call (817) 226-4400. Reservations are not necessary, but they are recommended. Parking is free.

Group rates available for 20-or-more adults, so please call to ask about a group discounts: (817) 226-4400 (or e-mail: jhighscmr@sbcglobal.net ).
