Prior thread on this same topic, with lots of suggestions (and of course dissention):

As mentioned in the above thread, Wise's BBQ in Jalapa, SC (about 3 miles from I-26, and absolutely worth the detour unless you detest a mustard based BBQ sauce) has by far the best sauce I have tasted. $7 all you can eat, incl. ribs and tea. FWIW, I believe Wise's predates the Columbia area spots with similar sauce (including Piggy Park).

Maurice Bessinger has lost a lot of business by injecting his politics (which are more than a little Neanderthal) into the operation of his restaurants. See:

for details.

I'm somwhat surprised that no one has mentioned Virgil's, just off of Times Square (NYC), almost in front of the Marriott Marquis. For NYC, it's surprisingly good food and much better prices than most of the places in the area that have waiter/waitress service.

Without a doubt, it's Starnes BBQ in Paducah, KY. The place looks the same as it did in the '50s (not that I was there) - formica counters, stools, old time Pepsi bottles. The specialty is the pork shoulder but I also get the mutton sandwich when I'm there. OMG, think it's time for another 12 hour drive for me to load up!

I am equally entitled to eat elsewhere.
