I had Corky's last night for the first time. It was good, but not great. I still prefer Brother's in Denver.
Corky's in Nashville was pretty good also! |

In the CLT airport the BBQ place in the main atrium is very good. Also approx 4 miles from the airport on Wilkenson Blvd(going toward town) is the Smokehouse BBQ. It will be on the left.
P.S. Smokehouse has a great breakfast & great service. |
Hands-down no question the Salt Lick in Austin, TX (not the one at the airport, but the real one in the city!)
|
Anyone else ever go to The Ribhouse in Longmont, CO? I used to go to lunch with coworkers here pretty often. Their prices are a bit high but the portions are huge and shockingly, their sides are actually really tasty. The folks who own it are super nice and the portions are huge. I'm not sure it's the absolute best BBQ I've ever had, but it's wayy above average.

Best BBQ In the U.S.
Going off of the other "Best..." threads, I thought I would start a clone about one of my favorite foods, BBQ.
I have to go with Louie Mueller BBQ in Taylor, TX, right outside of Austin (map) They have most of the BBQ favorites, but I usually stick with the brisket and sides. They give you a "taster" while you wait at the counter. It is the juiciest, most perfectly cooked brisket I have ever had. They give you BBQ sauce, but it isn't needed. If you go on Saturday make sure you get there before 2pm or they will be sold out and about to close. It's a great place if you're in the Austin area, if you're in Houston it could be a day trip. So where are your favorite places for BBQ? |
I thought you were talking about BBQ -- what's the mention of "brisket" all about? Everyone knows BBQ is composed of pork.
;) But the best BBQ in the US is in Lexington, NC. End of story. Most BBQ per capita of any place in the world. |
I would love to find a good barbecue place on my next Us trip - preferably in the NC style, even if it is elsewhere. ;) ^

My vote goes to Salt Lick outside Austin for Best Brisket and Best atmosphere.
I am a firm believer that the more the place looks like it's going to fall over, the better the BBQ, and for that reason, and because I always eat myself sick, Best Ribs goes to Cattle Drive, southeast of Houston. Admittedly not the best in the USA, but they are plenty delicious enough for an Honorable Mention, and will most likely be catering my wedding, is Sagebrush in Grand Lake, CO. |
O.B.'s BBQ off of I-75 near Atlanta. Maybe McDonough, GA?

Why am I reading this now:D:D

Sonny's for a chain in the South Michelbob's in Southern FL After 35 years of trying different places, my favorite bbq is still found at 2 smallish chains in TN: Buddy's & Calhoun's. |
For the past two years, Lucille's Bad To The Bone BBQ in Delray Beach, FL, has hosted the PBI-FLL Meet and will do so again this December.
|
For the Mid California Coast...
Central Texas BBQ, Castroville CA.^^^:) |
Is this thread a joke?? Everyone knows that the best barbeque comes from Memphis!
|
Finally, a chance to offer something to you all. I do know barbecue. I have childhood memories of hogs hanging to be cooked in my backyard.
Without a doubt... Parker's barbecue in Wilson and Greenville, Bill's in Wilson, and Wilbur's in Goldsboro. All in eastern NC. |
Probably already posted, but if not had to be 12bones in Asheville, NC. The best ever! I only wish they sold their dry-rub on line.
www.12bones.com Me, I'm a SF-girl who mostly eats chicken & veg & this place had me devoring ribs. Yikes! Yummy beyond belief! |
Hands down, The Rendezvous in Memphis, TN.
A great chain for ribs is Houston's. Several levels above anything you could ever get at a TGI Friday's, Chili's, etc. |

Forget steak and big $$$s gourmet restaurants. Let's get down to basic, American BBQ and share with us your favourite spot(s) in Kansas City, Memphis and other cities renowned for their ribs and shaved beef. I'm a novice here, and would like to set out to explore some of these spots over the coming months. My experience in this realm is limited to that place in San Diego featured in TOP GUN, a hut off the main drag in Austin, and the recently expanded place across from TOYS ARE US off BROADWAY in NYC. I know what I like in smoke, sauce and meat, but seldom find it. So I am sure there are enough folks out there who have experienced their empitome, and would be willing to share it with others. BTW feel free to also suggest local craft/microbrews to accompany the main dish.
Sam and Dave's BBQ 1 in Marietta, Georgia. Hands down best pork in the southeast and honestly the best brisket you'll find in Georgia (which is not a common thing in GA). Here is a good review on the place: http://www.accessatlanta.com/restaur...05/11bbq1.html Here is a link to their website: http://www.lostmountainbbq.com/BBQ1.html Lost Mountain BBQ is the name of their competitive cooking team. |

Renddezvous is only good for dry rub ribs and that's it. There is so much more to BBQ than ribs!
Houston's ribs are good, but man give me a small mom and pop place any day of the week and it's much more enjoyable overall. I also agree about mom and pop over a chain, but sometimes, in some places, you just want some consistency and to know what you're getting yourself into. That's when I go to Houston's. Take NYC for example, there are a couple hot spot BBQ places (Blue Smoke, Wildwood BBQ, Dinosaur BBQ), but for ribs I mostly choose Houston's. You won't find me at the Houston's in Memphis though, at least for BBQ. |
Americans take their BBQ rather seriously ?
I'm seen a few travel and food shows which really give me the impression that in some parts of America, they really take their BBQ rather seriously
is this true ? |

Brisket is fine but PIG is where it's at!
[Does that answer the original question?] HTSC |
Here it is... the DiningBuzz BBQ thread search

Texas and Tennessee probably contain the most serious of the BBQ fanatics :) There is already a great BBQ thread here already in DiningBuzz. I'd recommend pressing this button to get there. ;) (Here's a brisket thread which also popped up... plus a pulled pork thread (isn't that BBQ?)... there are many discussions in this forum, if neither has what you need. All just a click away. :)) There are lots of Texas threads here, even though they logically belong in the appropriate USA destination forum. Let your eyes and your appetite do the work. ;) |
Do yourself a favor and do a MR through the MEM airport. Lots of great BBQ options within the terminal. Corky's, Interstate, Blue Note Cafe - all make great sandwich's.
|
It's not the meat - it's the sauce!
There are parts of the country where you could get into serious trouble for preferring sweet over vinegar or vice versa. |
