Best BBQ Joint?

[YukonGlocker]

...I go to ATX all the time but will not brave the Franklin's line. I'd rather grab some chili and breakfast tacos down there.

Then go over to La Barbecue (first) or Micklethwait (second)...Terry Black's on Barton Springs is pretty good if you're out later (all the others will be sold out). Or, let me know when you're coming down, and I'll stand in line for us both at Franklin's...I take my lawn-chair, a 6-pack, and spend the time working.

Pffffffttttttt....it's just a tourist trap anymore. Who's got 4 hours to stand in line just to eat barbeque?? Go to Lockhart, TX; about a 40 minute drive south of Austin and take your pick of Black's; Kreuz Market; or Smitty's Market - any and all of them are terrific, and no lines (hardly any - you might wait 10 minutes or so). And for the love of all things barbeque, never go to Salt Lick just outside Austin!

Those are all decent places (in Lockhart), but don't compare to Franklin or La Barbecue. And yeah, Salt Lick sucks (unless all you care about is drinking wine). There are literally 20+ BBQ joints in the Austin area that are world class. I don't know why this market hasn't made it to Oklahoma.

I am a Hasty Bake and fatty fanboy, so BurnCo for me.

Plus, the owners are good peeps.

I know the joint. Used to eat there on my way to Arlington from Memphis. Food's good but the guy serving me was a bit "gross". Not beyond compare, mind you, but still.

That was FL's dad I betcha.

Joel, I know you've eaten at Bad Brad's--hands down the best bbq I've had thus far.

I don't know about any other locations, but Yukon's is fair at best.

I agree. I've never had any better than "fair" here. In fact, I'm usually asking myself why I came back.

Anybody remember Slick's in Muskogee?

Yeah I hear ya, I think its not really any different than it was. Changes were promised, but same ol thing.

If I buy BBQ its from the Cherokee Strip in Stillwater. Bad brads here isn't all that good either.
