Miller's in Belton has been doing takeout since day one of the craziness. They seem to keep a pretty brisk throughput every time I go by there
Pinkerton's San Antonio location is set to open "soon."TexAgs1992 said:
Pinkerton's glazed ribs go hard in the paint. Absolute money the two times I've gone this month.

Located next to the Frost Tower, Pinkerton's takes up an entire city block with tons of green space. The nearly 7,000-square-foot, newly constructed restaurant and bar is Pinkerton's vision from the ground up, with an interior that resembles a hunting lodge.
"I have looked at San Antonio as an awesome opportunity for years," Pinkerton, the owner and pitmaster, said. "I want the people that visit San Antonio to have access to what will truly be an authentic Texas barbecue experience. And I want the locals to have barbecue that is worth their time to come downtown."
Pinkerton is going big. He said the bar program, which will feature craft cocktails and has room for 12 beverages on tap and many canned and bottled options, will be as much of a player as the smoked meats. The property has a large bar and TV's are scattered throughout the property both indoors and outdoors, and there is plenty of room for kids to roam in the adjoining green space.

Thanks for bumping. Is Texas Monthly going to release a new ranking. Were they set to in 2020 if not for covid???

Anybody want to speculate on this year's new list? Or should that just be a new thread?
I live in the B/CS area and think we have two changes to the list in our area. 1) 1775 pit bbq makes it and 2) Fargos doesnt.
1775 has been fantastic every time I've gone and is head and shoulders above everyone else in town, and unfortunately Fargos hasnt really impressed me the last few times I've gone. I think is the clich problem of they chased quantity instead of quality as they moved to their third place now a few years ago and it just hasnt been as good as it used to be.
Havent had it yet, but Burnt Bean Co down in Seguin looks fantastic from all the pictures i've seen and reports I've read, and their owner/main pitmaster has been on several food competition shows and won some awards. They do some really interesting things for sides and other items, so its not just about the brisket, ribs, and sausage. I'm thinking they have a good shot of making the list as well.
Have not but have heard great things about it from people that know their stuff. If I was ever down that direction I would hit them up AFTER Pustka Family BBQ.TequilaMockingbird said:
Has anyone here ever eaten at Brett's Backyard BBQ in Rockdale?

Couldn't tell you exactly, but on a Friday would guess 45ish minutes? May even be shorter than that since word isn't really out yet. It'll be totally different in 30 days.
