I was at the Blues & Barbeque Fest in New Orleans 2 weeks ago. While there, I picked up a brochure on the Alabama BBQ Trail. BamaVol Jr #1 lives in Huntsville and was visiting this weekend. I gave him the brochure and they stopped at Webb's 231 in Midland City on the way home. I asked his wife how they liked it and she said the place was a "total sh*t hole" but the barbecue was some of the best she'd ever eaten. I wish I could get up there and run the trail. It looks like there were 15-20 restaurants on the list and I've only eaten at one of them.

Speedy's! It's certainly my favorite place in Lexington (well, aside from the general store that sells pimento cheese )

Great space in this trendy up and coming neighborhood just off downtown which has outdoor and indoor seating. They also have numerous beers on tap. Perfect menu and everything we ordered was delicious. Great ribs, brisket and pulled pork plus, burnt ends! The mac & cheese was also outstanding.

Dobb's BBQ in Dothan is always packed out as we pass on our way to the gulf coast. Growing up in Phenix City, I can tell you that little area has 4-5 long standing good bbq joints.

To each there own but I have been to Neely's a number of times in the last few years and I have never thought of it as being anything but average especially considering all the great options in the Memphis area. From what I understand it used to be a lot better but in the last few years has really gone down hill. I also was not really impressed with Rendezous either, but I would go there over Neely's.
In Memphis my favorite ribs are at the BBQ shop. Wow! Its a party in your mouth!
Having said that... I have yet to try Cozy Corner in Memphis and the anticipation is great! It is next on my list to try since several people recommend them, and one of which, owns his own highly acclaimed BBQ place here in Nashville and the other was the guy who gave me the BBQ shop recommendation.

One more I would like to add is Double Z BBQ in Steamboat, Co with the caveat that it was like 20 years ago but I can still remember how great they were! Hopefully they are still putting out a great product.

I traveled to Dallas and went to The Pecan Lodge the last two days in a row.
Holy Cow Batman that is some amazing Q! Seriously, I want to thank you for the recommendation it was the best BBQ I have ever had. Truly amazing. On Sunday they offered their "fried ribs" (with blue cheese crumples and chives on top) which was good, but I still preferred their regular ribs which were, out- of- this- world good. The same could be said for the brisket and burnt ends. I liked it so much I carried back on the plane a couple pounds of the stuff.
