BELIEVE IN THE BRISKET
Welcome to Lane’s OAK’D BBQ, located in Dallas and Addison where we proudly serve handcrafted Texas BBQ. Our brisket is an art form all its own, infused with the vanilla-tinged flavor of Texas Post OAK smoke and cradled in a peppery bark.
Our brisket isn’t the only thing that’s unbelievable here, so is each item on our chef-driven menu. Everything from our scratch kitchen is locally and regionally sourced; flavored just right, no matter what’s in season. From the wide variety of perfectly smoked meats to our gourmet sides and OAK’D bakery, with homemade ice cream, biscuits and other sweet treats, there’s something for everyone at OAK’D.
We take pride in our partnerships with local Texas ranchers and farmers to ensure you enjoy the highest quality BBQ available in The Lone Star State. Our Wagyu Brisket comes directly from Rosewood Ranch and our Prime Beef is 100% Texas Black Angus. Daily specials are our jam; check our social for updates.
At OAK’D we are serving up more than mouthwatering meals. We’re creating experiences that keep you coming back for more: live music, one of the latest happy hours around (4-7 p.m.), group parties, pitmaster classes, buy-outs, and more. When you walk through OAK’D’s doors and get a whiff of that fragrant, smoky aroma of true Central Texas BBQ and see our sophisticated hill country inspired design, you will understand what we are all about.
So please stop in for a meal to experience exactly what we mean by Handcrafted BBQ – one bite will make you a true believer.
About the Owner and Chef, Michael Lane
Chef Michael Lane has 30 years of corporate, restaurant, and fine-dining chef experience. He attended the Culinary Institute of America in New York, while simultaneously working for the largest tri-state catering company in Franklin, New Jersey (Market Basket). Returning to Texas, he trained under renowned chefs Tim Keaton, Robert DeGrande, and Dean Fearing. Five years later, he founded Michael Lane Cuisine, Inc., which he managed for more than 20 years, preparing approximately 3,000 meals a day to large corporate clients and hedge funds, as well as musicians and athletes. Grossing more than $43 million in revenue, Michael sold the business to City Café in 2009.
For 6 years, Michael held a business development position at one of the largest restaurant equipment and design vendors in the country. In 2021, Michael left that position to focus his attention on building the best BBQ restaurant in Dallas, and many might say, Texas! As Founder and Owner of Lane’s OAK’D BBQ Dallas – a Top 100 BBQ Restaurant in Texas – Michael is exceeding expectations in the community and is humbled by the accolades OAK’D continues to receive.
