ray's is by far one of my favorites in texas (3rd ward and iah concourse b, although i haven't tried iah b)
gatlin's (recently got faymous = lineups = me not going there anymore)
brisket house (austin good)
virgies
hickory hollow (chikin fried steaks)
luling city market (a lot of people don't like it but i've never had a bad meal, i stick to ribs and brisket...it's in galleria so it's above average cost...close to goode's on the other side of us59)
houston does ribs and links well, brisket aint central austin good sadly
i'm still looking for more suggestions on places in htown

Try Corkscrew BBQ up in Spring (between The Woodlands and Houston). I used to goto Pit Master, Pappas, and occasionally Rudy's before Corkscrew came around. Don't like the hype or the line but it's good stuff, esp. the sausage and brisket.

I have to agree - if you have not tried Q39 yet, please do. It is the (relatively new) kid on the block in KC. Really good. I also have never had a bad experience yet at Jack Stack.
At the medium end, my fav is still Smokin' Guns

I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on Killen's? I've never been, but the local paper up here raves about 'em.

Goode's is dog food.
There are actually a few tiny shops, many of them recent, that are supposed to be good. havent had the opportunity to try.

I'm doing a small road trip with my son in August to knock some new states in the mid-west on our quest to do all 50. Besides the sites, I am hoping to have some great food and used this thread as inspiration. We are starting in Nashville and ending up in Tulsa. Here is what I got so far:
Nashville to St Louis via Mammouth Cave National Park
St Louis - Bogarts Smokehouse
Kansas City - Joe's Kansas City Smokehouse
Betonville - (could not find any standout food options in NW AR)
Tulsa - Elmers
Am I missing anything good? Anyone familiar with the routes and thinks there is a place along the way worth stopping at?

Not BBQ, but just off the square in Bentonville there is a food truck that does really great crepes at lunchtime called Crepes Paulette. It's near Crystal Bridges which I highly recommend you stop in and see if you are going through Bentonville. If you want higher end, then The Hive at the 21c Museum Hotel is the best option around that area too.
