on a scale 1-10 how much do u like bbq?
Went to Black's in Lockhart Friday afternoon. Maybe it was just because it was late in the day, but they were out of spare ribs and the brisket wasn't all that good.
Oh, I needed to click on the link to figure out what "SSI" was. Now I understand.Aggie09Derek said:

Cattleack BBQ...it's going down today!
Place is legit! Hope you're there by now.
Gonna get some Jethro's Texas Style Barbecue for lunch here in Taos. My expectations are tapered.
I Showed up around 10:40. I was told I'd wait for about 45 minutes. Talked to a lady that got here at 9 and was 2nd in line. She said by 9:30 there were about 70 people behind her.
I will definitely post some pics!

Holy **** that is some good BBQ. Best that I've had in Dallas and nothing is even close.

Hahaha...glad you liked it. I need to get back out there soon. Definitely deserving of the "best in DFW" award IMO.
Jethro's in Taos... it wasn't good. Dirty smoke and the taste of creosote.
Asked for lean & moist brisket. Got lean & chopped...

At least you tempered your expectations beforehand.
Had BBQ for lunch today and decided to give in to a Big Red, because I see it at every BBQ joint.
Why is Big Red synonymous with Texas BBQ?

'Cuz it works and it works real good, that's why.
Because it is ****ing delicious with pickles and brisket (sour and salt maybe?).Objective Aggie said:

Yalls pics were making me hungry so I went to Pinkerton's for lunch. First time, and I gotta say might be my favorite in the city right now. Still haven't been to corkscrew but what I had was better than roegel's and Killen's. Brisket super moist, ribs were cooked perfect.
We go to Taos every year... Almost went there for lunch last year and was excited to try it this year. Thanks for saving me the trip.CDub06 said:

Finally made it over to The Pit Room in Houston for lunch yesterday and it was incredible. Almost went back again today.
Been meaning to head over there. Any line? What time did you go?
I was just looking at the pit room on Google maps and it used to be a porno shop.
Crushed Cork for lunch today, hitting up Louie's on Saturday then coming back to the Tine for that TM Meat-Up.
Heart is gonna be hurting come Sunday.

I was there as well today. I had the chicken, sausuage, ribs, and brisket. Everything was great but my ribs were just a little too fall-off-the-bone. They had great flavor, but no snap. I still ate the hell out of them.

That reminds me of a time I was visiting friends in Oregon and they wanted me to try Rattlesnake BBQ in Dexter, Oregon. Apparently it was a friend of a friend that ran it and he called it Texas Style.
After asking him questions, I found out the owner had never been to Texas and didn't take the time to visit any good BBQ places. He served his over cooked and dry brisket shredded...
When they asked me what I thought, I asked if he wanted honest feedback...I should've just said it was good but instead I told him the brisket was dry and I've never seen anyone serve it shredded. I told him he should visit a BBQ place in Texas before he tells everyone he had Texas style BBQ.
Dude just said ok and walked off with his head down. I'm honestly surprised he's still in business but it shows how terrible BBQ is in Oregon.

4.5 stars but only on 30 reviews which could be mostly friends/family leaving the 5 stars.

I got there a little after 12 and there were maybe 2 people in front of me. By the time I sat down with my food, the line had grown a lot and was out the door by the time I left.ChipFTAC01 said:

Hahaha. Glad y'all looked that up.
They set the plate down and I must've had a very disappointed look.
Look at that damn pic!!!

I've had Louie's at every single Hou BBQ fest and it's always been rather good. My expectations were very high before my lunch visit this past weekend.
That was not the case on Saturday at his FSU in Taylor, TX. I hopped in line about 5 minutes before noon and didn't order until 2:00'ish. I never thought Gatlin's inefficient line could be beaten.
Overall grades:
- Moist brisket - B-
- BBQ Sauce - D as always. Crazy it's offered at HEB.
- Turkey - D for dry.
- Jap Sausage - B-
- Pulled pork - B+
- Pulled pork sauce - A+
- Beef rib - A+
- Potato salad - C
- Slaw - C+
- Nostalgic FSU - A++
I would not put Louie's in the top 10. They're more of Rudy's to me, but I'm happy I got my passport sticker so I never have to go back.
The Texas Monthly Meat-Up was a great event. Bodacious BBQ out of Longview served a burnt end on top of a Heath bar dipped in chocolate. Tits. Killen's served moist brisket while Cork went out of their norm and offered pork belly. Both were delicious. It was also nice to see Evie Mae's at a local event. Their diced brisket was on point.
Free beer and Gentlemen Jack in a climate controlled setting made for a nice event. Kudos to TM.

Also, when Louie Muellers's is on, it is spectacular. It is just not always on.
I agree with this. Unfortunately it's only been on about 2 of 10 trips for me.Quote:

Wow, I've been several times and have never seen a line like that at LM. I've also never given them marks that low. At least you got the A+ Beef Rib, which can be, in my opinion, the best in the state.

I thought it was better than Cork. Yes I just said that...
