When Triple Tap Ventures got the craving to open up a BBQ joint, we knew we needed to look in the heartland of Texas, where culinary traditions and a passion for barbecue run deep. Every corner of the Lone Star State boasts mouthwatering brisket, succulent ribs, and delectable smoked meats, but we believed we could create a beacon for BBQ enthusiasts in the vibrant city of Grand Prairie.
In March of 2023, Triple Tap Ventures officially opened the doors to the go-to BBQ spot of the Greater DFW area, Loop 9 BBQ.
A Thriving Culinary Scene in Grand Prairie
Grand Prairie, nestled between Dallas and Fort Worth, is a bustling city known for its family-friendly attractions, like all the entertainment options at Epic Central, and the enthusiastic and growing foodie community. The region's culinary scene has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, with a plethora of independent eateries and innovative dining concepts emerging.
Triple Tap Ventures recognized the potential of Grand Prairie's evolving food culture and sought to contribute something unique to the mix. Loop 9 BBQ was conceived as a homage to the traditional Texan barbeque experience, infusing it with a diversity of flavors that would captivate locals and visitors alike. Loop 9 BBQ offers a unique blend of history, flavor, and hospitality to this growing community.
Craftsmanship and Authenticity
At Loop 9 BBQ, the foundation of our success lies in our dedication to the art of barbecue. Our team understands the importance of honoring traditions while also embracing innovation. Our pitmasters pay tribute to the European immigrants that settled in Central Texas and introduced the process of fire-roasting and smoking premium beef and pork to Texas cowboys. They honor the art of smoking by employing traditional methods, using a combination of seasoned wood and low, slow heat. This careful process imbues our meats with an unmistakable flavor and tenderness that keep our guests returning time and again.
We carefully select premium-quality meats, ensuring their authenticity and taste. From the juicy and tender brisket to the flavorful and succulent ribs, every bite at Loop 9 BBQ transports smoked meat lovers on a journey through the heart of Texas barbeque.
