Bogart's is the best I have ate anywhere...I live 100+ miles from there and have, more than once, jumped in the car on a whim and drove over there just to eat and come home... |
Although more accessible than the original, I have not found (in a couple of visits) that the Kreuz Market branch on the loop around Bryan/College Station is quite up to snuff. Tey do have decent bib ribs, but run out early.

So I was left speechless today.
I went to The Rib Joint in Dana Point, California on a whim and am absolutely staggered by the quality. I got a 1/2 chicken which came with fries and cornbread. All of the BBQ is Memphis style so it is done in a dry rub and comes with sauce on the side. The cornbread is covered in warm honey which makes it addicting. If you are someone who like's a good dive restaurant you have to check this place out. |

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? Sadly, I don't have anything to add about Bentonville. |
If your quest still needs a Kansas barbecue entry, Joe's is just across State Line. (Jack Stack is in Missouri.)

has Brobeck's (quite good) and a bunch others. |
Looking forward to trying Stanley's when we head up north for Thanksgiving.

I previously posted in the regional thread, but it's worth repeating here: the ribs at Burn Co (Tulsa) are incredible.
|
Also cross post from Regionals.
Opies- Highway 71, Spicewood Tx 78669. They typically run out about 2. Lean or fat brisket, rib rack, jalapeno cheese sausage. Butterbeans dine in only on weekends. You're welcome |

am absolutely staggered by the quality. based on your recommendation ... The chicken (quarter white - forgot to ask for dark) was exceptional, the beef rib salty and overcooked but quite delicious, the pork ribs dry and nearly inedible. Split pea soup surprisingly excellent. BBQ beans tasty. Worth a visit. |
"Burnt Ends" as served in the Presidential Suite of the Pinnacle Hotel in NYC...
(None of them made it down to help feed the crowd at the Javits Center, all of whom departed unblessed, unfed and unthanked. |
Franklin BBQ - Austin TX
I had a short business trip to Austin, a con was not having enough time to even begin to dig into all the delicious food in Austin, a big pro was the company held a private evening dinner at Franklin, so no wait. Open bar & all you can eat BBQ.
The links & turkey were so-so. The brisket & pork spareribs were out of this world delicious. The pulled pork was surprisingly good. I didn't expect as many pork items being in Texas. |
