Best Barbecue joints in America

[Barret]

Well I was thinking of just adding this to one of the other BBQ threads that was out there but thought something stand alone might be able to help those that aren't in KC find decent BBQ.

I don't think this is listed as #1 being the best and so forth. But the do have Oklahoma Joe's, Jack Stack and Arthur Bryants so I think the list at least has a good idea of BBQ.

Has anyone ate at any of the other locations that were listed?

Pappy’s Smockhouse – St. Louis – Voted one of the top 101 places to chow down in America by the Travel Channel, the food is affordable and St. Louis Style Ribs are legendary

I've been to #22.
I have no idea if the food is any good. I went to the can before my meal and the cook went in a left without washing his hands. Needless to say I left without trying the "Ball Cheese Special".

Just remembered a little observation that, for at least a small portion of their menu, but perhaps telling to the rest of their fare [not to say I have been anything but satisfied every time I went there.

As I was leaving the last time we were there, there was an empty box on top of the trash can. Looked a little closer and saw 'Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries' stamped on the side.

I haven't tried their fries, so I don't know if they're just buying pre-sliced whole sweet potatoes, or the whole kit and caboodle, [ie precooked, pre-seasoned, etc.]

The Salt Lick Bar-b-que in Driftwood, Texas. I order meat and sauce from there for the family every Christmas.

You walk past the cows on the way in. Just inside the door, there's what used to be another one, on a fire pit the size of a decent-sized swimming pool. Grab a picnic table, pay one set amount, and they keep bringing you meat until you give up or die. It's heaven.

I agree with you, it's hands down the best barbeque I've ever had but it isn't well received on here. This place is full of KC barbeque snobs...

To be fair, I've never had KC barbeque but I generally prefer texas style (dry) over KC, Carolina, or Memphis (wet).

Texas BBQ is mostly shit.
