Uncle Daddy’s B&B, known for burgers, barbecue & chili, closes to seek a new location
Chuck-wagon cook Rodney Lambert is looking for a new location again after his third try as a chef-restaurateur.
Lambert will reopen Uncle Daddy’s Burgers & BBQ in a new location, he said. The restaurant has closed a Cityview Centre location.
“I’m not going to give up,” he said.
“I needed more room to do barbecue, and I didn’t have room there” for equipment, he said.
“People came early in the week for burgers. But on Fridays and Satudrays, they wanted barbecue.”
Lambert also said his next Uncle Daddy’s will serve cocktails. The Cityview location served beer and wine, including wine daiquiris to go.
“People want the real thing,” he said.
Uncle Daddy’s drew quick praise for its large burgers, jumbo hot dogs and housemade chili.
Lambert, a former chuck-wagon cook and kitchen boss at Fred’s Texas Cafe TCU, made previous stops at now-gone Smokey Mae’s Pit BBQ (too big) in Mansfield and also-gone Honey Smoke Pit (too hidden) in Montgomery Plaza.
