Lorelei Longshot, SASS #44256 Life Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Kreuz Market in Lockhart, TX is the best in Lockhart. One of the best in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've been to Arthur Bryant's, although it was 30+ years ago. The fire station I worked at was right around the corner. I've had Pappy's and I intend to take Uno there as soon as we get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Looks like Kansas City did richt well for itself. It did, but IMNSHO, the places chosen are only above average. The best is Danny Edwards BBQ (formerly Li'l Jakes) for the 27 years I've been a patron. And I'm a self-appointed (annointed?) expert. Now that's settled, who's playing better baseball right now -- Cardinals or Royals? Dang I'm looking forward to the post season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Obviously they have never eaten at Fogo de Chao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelve mile REB Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The best are Pat Butler's those that know her will vouch for that. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston CAS Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Kreuz Market in Lockhart, TX is the best in Lockhart. One of the best in Texas. Best ribs I've ever had, and I've been to about ten of those places on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iditarod Kid Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 RIBS ARE NOT BARBECUE! Pork: smoked, chopped and served with slaw, hushpuppies and sweet tea is BBQ. (And what would an English newspaper know about it anyway?) You may argue about eastern vs western NC style 'cue, but it is pork...... See you down the trail......

Houston CAS Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The Daily Meal, not The Daily Mail. It's a US website. I did a double-take too when I thought it was a UK newspaper. And I'm not wasting my time arguing with someone that doesn't think ribs are barbecue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I live within an hour of these places (except the Dallas one) but the best BBQ is in my smoker right now out back. So far the Austin Fire Dept. has only stopped by once for the smoke call. Brisket cookin now for 30 hours, the ribs are at 24 and the chickens are at 16. 200 degrees temp and tons of Mesquite...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Any list that claims,five of the top BBQ joints are in New York City is highly suspect. But I've been to Archibalds in Tuscaloosa and Corkys in Memphis. Both are outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Jeemes Kelly Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I don't see any eastern North Carolina vinegar BBQ or Western Kentucky mutton BBQ on the list. North Carolina is my favorite BBQ style, but not popular with people who like sweet sauce. It's traditional to have BBQ at IDPA major matches and I have seen people bring their own bottles of red sauce to the Carolina Cup . Outside North Carolina, my favorite BBQ place is the Famous Dave's chain. I know it's not cool to like a chain, but they have the best food,.

Dusty Sometimes Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 #6 Kreuz Market! Absolutely love it, especially the jalapeno sausage and brisket, and that central Texas atmosphere. Anytime we're in Houston, it's worth the 2 hour drive to Lochart. While there, go to Texas Hatters and order a handmade, custom made cowboy hat..

Tony Crowe Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Dreamland is great for ribs and should have made the list. The original is in Tuscaloosa, AL and has been featured on TV many times over the years on football game days. They now have multiple locations around Alabama and Georgia.

Bama Red Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I can vouch for #5, Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur, AL. I've got a bottle of their sauce in the pantry right now for when I can't make the 110 mile round trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee McGrutt Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anyone been to #24 Chaps Charcoal Restaurant in Baltimore? I will be there at the end of the week, and was wondering if it is a good place to eat. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
