Who has actually been to FARGOS in Bryan?

I know it's kinda sinful to like chains when it comes to BBQ but I really like Red Hot & Blue, I worked there so maybe that's why but I could eat it every day and never get tired of it.

Any of you who are in Austin need to go to John Mueller's on Manor Rd. It's way better than Salt Lick or Rudy's.

What about Satchell's?

In my humble opinion, good BBQ joints are the ones that can do justice to beef ribs. Unfortunately, there aren't many places that even have them on the menu. In years past, I favored the "Church of the Holy Smoke" in Huntsville. The place wasn't much to look at but the beef ribs were good and you couldn't beat the $7 all you-can-eat price (which included brisket, chicken, sausage, and all the trimmings). Haven't been there in a few years and I hear that it has gone down a little.

Railhead in FW, hands down.

I am suprised nobody mentioned Luthers...ummmmmmmmm Luthers!!!!

By the way, I was joking...LUTHERS SUCKS!!!

Mmmm, barbecue...I saw that new Texas Monthly in the airport Monday and it did make for interesting reading.

Ribs- I cooked some over Easter weekend, and after letting them get good and smoky for about an hour, I covered them with foil and cooked for another 2 hours. The meat fell off the bone. I used indirect smoke with a combination of seasoned mesquite, oak, and some pecan wood chunks.

Has anyone tried Smitty's in Lockhart? I usually can't make it past Kreuz, but if Smitty's is that good, it should be worth a trip.

Louie Mueller's blows all the other one's away, and John Mueller is the son, so his is about the same.

Anyone been to Lum's in Junction....pretty good eats. You actually have to drive off the interstate and go into town....for you lazy people.

I wasn't overly impressed with John Mueller's, I like Rudy's but it shouldn't be in the top 50. Salt Lick is good, but I've never left there sober.

Williams Family Smokehouse in Houston.

The best sausage is at The Smokehouse in Lindsay, Tx, just outside Gainesville. They get their sausage from Fischer's in Muenster.

There is an article in the latest Houston Press about Racism and BBQ...at the end of the article it lists some good places in Houston.

actually had my Williams recommendation in it...so the places can't be bad.

Nonmachers in Katy off of Mason Rd. by far has the best BBQ and sauce. On Saturday's he does a stuffed pork where he puts jalapenos, onion, and seasoning and cooks it for several hours on slow heat. It is unbelievable!

Old topic I know, but has anyone tried Hard Eight in Stephenville? Drove by the other day and it seemed like a pretty serious joint. Caters to pilots apparently.

I went to Meuller's in Austin recently and thought is was really good. Rudy's is good for a chain BBQ, and I don't like Poke-E-Jos at all... Reminds me of the BBQ they served in elementary. My all time fav though is Goode Company in Houston. I used to eat there every Sunday after Church, and still make sure I take a trip there whenever I'm town.
