Yes, #6 (1775) is good. Best in B/CS. It's a food truck by the Brazil's River on HWY 60.

Made a trip to Mathis for Butters. And it was good.... not top 10 or even killens good but it was the best in corpus area I've had.

My buddy is the exec chef at Guess Family - but I've yet to eat there.

The lack of research is glaring here.

If you're ever in downtown Waco, Guess Family bbq is a must get. Their chipotle jalapeo sausage is the best I've ever had and their brisket is great.

Top 25 seems like a huge number. How many notable new BBQ restaurants can there be in a year. Top 5 would be more meaningful.

Keep in mind, this is based on 2 years since the last list. In reality, I can count at least another couple of dozen places that opened up that aren't on the list...

It's a great time for Texas BBQ. Rejoice and try some new places you've never heard of...

#21 Smoke Sessions is fantastic! It's been in a trailer parked at a Royse City feed store/hardware store but they just moved and are in the process of acquiring a space for a restaurant. They have some really good items. The brisket is amazing and the spicy garlic sausage is equally delicious. They do Parmesan crusted ribs, brisket burritos, brisket philly cheese steak, and smoked Mac and cheese. It's by far the best in Rockwall County and maybe in all of North Texas.

Sorry but Blood Brothers,at 4 is funny. When ur best item is mac and cheese u got problems.
Their food is gimmicky and Asian fusion.
Brisket...not a top 30...not worth eating really.
Brisket fried rice...novel way to use left overs but execution is lacking.
Saltgrass ribs are more tender than here.
HEB makes better chicken.
Their sauce has a ton of mustard and sux.
And its crazy expensive.

The list is in Alphabetical order by CITY, not by ranking. So they could be 1stnorn25th, or anywhere in the middle.

Harlem Road is good. We lack for good bbq down in that area. I've only been once, but I was not surprised to see it on this list.

My ancestors who immigrated to Texas in the 1850s are rolling over in their graves at the notion of barbecued octopus being served in Texas. Has to be a communist plot.

The Witt Pit in Rosenberg is great, and the sausage at Galvan's in Richmond is excellent.

I live just a few minutes away but have never been. I never see anyone in the parking lot. Guess we'll have to try it.
Let's go, Brandon!

Went to Brotherton's in Pflugerville today for lunch. Brisket was moist and tender. Could have used more smoke/crust for my tastes but overall it was good not great. Had some sausage as well and found the flavor ok but a little bland for my tastes and the skin was a little tough - but overall better than say what you would get at Rudy's (wurst sausage of any TX bbq joint...pun intended). Sides of beans and creamed corn were ok but uninspiring. BBQ sauce was very good for my tastes - YMMV. Overall it was good not great bbq in a convenient location for me without a wait at 12:30pm on a weekday. I'd go back, but it's not a "destination" joint at this time.

As a comparison...I really like Stiles Switch style BBQ with a little more flavor all around.

I agree - drive by it pretty frequently and it looks closed 95% of the time.

You're right. I should revise. We lack for snooty list-worthy bbq in that area. Galvan's "worker's special" is my jam for a cheap chopped beef sandwich. But I thought I would be barbecued (hey-oh!) for saying that on this thread.

I really like Witt Pit for everything except their sausage. Tasted like generic store bought stuff. And I'm not a sausage snob.

I think it's only open for lunch Thursday - Saturday or something. So it probably is closed a lot of the time that you'd drive by.
