[deaner]

I drove down to a bar be que place in North Carolina and it was not eatable. It was very taste wise of vingar. So I gave it away.

Gates in Kansas City. Every time I'm up there I stop in for the sampler, and bring home a few bottles of their BBQ sauce. :

Speaking of Kansas City, you ever tried Arthur Bryant's?

I'm not a fan of Famous Dave's. As Rocky said, I liked Bennet's back in Colorado, and a couple of local spots. Shorty's in Longmont used to be terriffic, but they sold the place and it went downhill fast.

I guess my favorite of all time is Luther's BBQ in Topeka. Used to go there when I was in the AF in the '60s, and I try to make it there every time I pass through. It hasn't gone downhill one bit in 35 years!

I have tried 3 or 4 places in Rockford and "we are not amused"

Smithfield's is pretty good for a fast food place. You can only find them in the eastern half of NC. In addition to the BBQ, they have some of the best fried chicken.

I do enjoy me some Smithfields when I'm down visiting a good friend.

I don't proclaim to be an expert in BBQ (though I long to be) but my most memorable 'cue was at Mac's Speed Shop in Charlotte. More meat then humanly possible for an almost impossible price. Cheap cold beers. Great atmosphere. It was heaven on earth.

Pig 'n Whistle in Bartlett Tn. Also has great catfish and fried green tomatoes.

I asked several people that live in KC about which place to go for BBQ when I visited two years ago and I settled on Arthur Bryant's. Unfortunately (I hope I don't piss anyone off here) I was very disappointed.

First of all, we stood in line for over an hour. I was thinking, "great, this place is probably REALLY good if this many people are here." Well, it wasn't long before we were talking to everyone in line and virtually everybody was visiting from out of town. That set off a warning in my head. In my experience, going to the place where all of the tourists go is usually a sure let down...and this place was no exception. I can't say the food was bad...it just wasn't that good. The food was very expensive for what we got and there was nothing magical about the taste of the BBQ to me.

I didn't hate it, but I won't be going back.

I have three to throw in.

Two are in memphis or close by. The first is The Germantown Commissary. My FAVORITE place to eat when I am up there. BBQ nachos.......

Another is Rendevous in downtown. Very good dry ribs.

There is also a place in Orange Beach, alabama. I know, odd to have a good BBQ place in a seafood haven, but its GREAT. I have only eaten there once, but I will be back. Its called Moe's.

Pig 'n Whistle in Bartlett Tn. Also has great catfish and fried green tomatoes.

I will second this also. Of course Memphis is PACKED with good BBQ joints

For chain restaraunts- Countyline on the River walk in San Antonio

I'm in KC this week. I'll get my sampler plate on Thursday, and bring back three bottles of the BBQ sauce to use at home. Wife makes a great brisket. :

Huff and Puff in Waynesboro, Ms. Had to throw in a plug for a local place. Very good ribs, GREAT potato salad!

Stamey's in Greensboro NC pretty good the last time I was up there

 

[hancox]

The Salt Lick

thirded. It's jaw-droppingly good (although I haven't sprung for the FedEx to CT yet )

Here in Hawaii, Dixie Grill is the best. It's near Aloha Stadium/Pearl Harbor area.
Welcome to Dixie Grill - Put some South in your Mouth!!!


For "Roadside" Style BBQ, Pecos Pit BBQ in Seattle(across the street from SBUX HQ). Get the Pork Sandwich Medium Style with a Hot Link. It's a winner.
