It's not a restaurant where you just eat meat and leave — you can play with bubbles outside, and after dinner you can even roast marshmallows over a campfire, which made it great for a family outing. ![Exterior view of Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch with American-style interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-02-suvzm-966.webp) Above all, the vibe is quite different from a typical Korean barbecue restaurant. Staff wearing cowboy hats serve the tables, and with the American-style interior it genuinely felt like a little trip abroad. ## Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch: address, hours and parking Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch is a Texas barbecue specialty restaurant on Palgongsan-ro in Dong-gu, Daegu.

Since we came with a child, they gave us bubbles for each person so she could play outside. Kids have a hard time sitting still before a meal, right? But having an outdoor space to blow bubbles in meant she could move around a bit both before and after eating. ![Outdoor space used with a child](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-03-lsxj4-966.webp) Baby chairs and baby tableware were also ready, making it comfortable to eat with a young child. The menu isn't limited to barbecue either — there's steak, pasta, and more, so it's easy for a family to find something everyone likes. ## What American-style barbecue tastes like here ![Vertical photo of the Texas barbecue menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-04-8zatm-966.webp) ![Menu guide at Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-05-1wa8k-966.webp) The main event at Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch is, of course, the Texas barbecue. We ordered the Memphis platter set for two, lobster, and a cola. The Memphis platter lets you try several kinds of barbecue at once, which made it a good choice for a first visit. ![Table after ordering the Memphis platter for two and lobster](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-06-1glpr-966.webp) These are the appetizers that came out before our ordered menu. ![Appetizer served before the main dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-07-1xxse-966.webp) ![Close-up of the appetizer plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-08-upmxc-966.webp) ![Plate of nachos from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-09-4fbli-966.webp) Nachos are served extra from the self-serve bar. ![Memphis platter with brisket and pulled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-10-cvtjn-966.webp) It comes with brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs and more, plus side dishes, so it's great for sharing among a group. ![Spare ribs with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-11-e56wf-966.webp) ![Close-up of tender barbecue meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-12-1r67o-966.webp) ![Side dishes served with the platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-13-1uvv0-966.webp) Overall the meat was really tender, so I think it would be easy for older folks with weaker teeth to enjoy too. ![Meat and sides piled on a dinner roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-14-mk9w8-966.webp) ![Barbecue wrapped in a tortilla](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-15-qjbk0-966.webp) Instead of just picking at the meat on its own, we combined it with dinner rolls or tortillas and sides, which made eating with our kid more fun. ![The lobster dish we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-16-127fr-966.webp) ![Table with lobster and barbecue together](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-17-1neei-966.webp) ![Close-up of the lobster](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-18-1uskm-966.webp) The lobster paired well alongside the barbecue menu, and it looked great too, making the table feel much more bountiful. If you feel like just meat isn't quite enough and want to add a seafood dish, I'd recommend ordering it alongside. ## Why evenings feel best at this Palgongsan barbecue restaurant Personally, I felt Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch suits an evening visit on a nice-weather day. ![Evening atmosphere at Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-19-2be3o-966.webp) ![Exterior of the restaurant at sunset](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-20-c0cph-966.webp) The interior has a wood-toned, American South-style feel that gives it an exotic atmosphere, ![Wood-toned American South-style indoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-21-uatz2-966.webp) and once you add the outdoor seating, the mood shifts completely. ![Outdoor seating and campfire area](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-22-949je-966.webp) In particular, roasting marshmallows over the outdoor campfire after the meal gave a really unique feeling. After paying, they give you marshmallows for each person, and roasting them ourselves with our kid felt full of camping vibes. Rather than just eating meat and heading home from Palgongsan, having these small extras made it a good spot for a family meal. ## Pet-friendly seating at Modak Texas Barbecue near Palgongsan ![Pet-friendly outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster/palgongsan-texas-barbecue-family-kids-lobster-23-31dlu-966.webp) Being able to visit with your dog is another feature of Modak Texas Barbecue Palgongsan Branch.
