tell me your favorite place to eat bbq in texas and why.

In the area where I live, I have to pick Rudy's. I have heard Sonny Bryan's in Dallas is pretty tasty. Would like to give them a try.

just opened a Rudy's in frisco, good stuff I tell ya.

Where I live the best place to eat bbq is Rudy's as well and that is pretty dang sad. There is no such thing as good or even decent bbq in deep sotuh Texas. The best bbq I have ever had is Tex's bbq in between Washington and Brenham. Read the Tex's bbq thread.

The best place I have found is at my brothers house where we cook everything from steak, quail, beef, chicken, all kinds of sausages, fajita meat, stuffed jalepenos and buffalo turds, salmon, catfish, pork loin, pork chops, corn on the cob, vegetables, turkey.
Well, you name it we have cooked it on the grill and being in a Czech family there was usually a little beer involved.

Around Ft. Worth, I don't think that you can beat Cousins, although I would like to try Railhead someday.

In FtWorth, I'd say that Thr Railhead is the best I've had, the next would be Riscky's in the stockyards, man their all you can eat beef ribs are great!!!

One vote for Railhead.

This is off the wall but I gotta go with red, Hot and blue. Its a chain but its dang good!

In Fort Worth, Railhead is first closely foll0wed by Robinson's

Mt. Zion in Huntsville was my favorite place of all time. Not even sure it's still open, but it was really good home cookin'.

Kreuz Market in Lockhart is the best hands down

I remember when Robinsons was just a walk up shack. Great BBQ! They have a mean rub as well.

Big D's at lake tawakoni is pretty dadgummed good
i have a hard time eating barbecue in public- i am such a messy eater when it comes to good barbecue, especially chicken

Granzine's in New Braunfels. Pickup only. FANTASTIC.

Coopers in LLano.2" pork chops,goat,Ribs & everything else,then sit down on wooden benches with gallon jars of jalapenos and loves of bread.I'm getting hungry thinking about it.

Angelo's in Ft. Worth!

Went there 30 years ago and lots of times since then. Was just there about a month ago. That's what I like about it....it's great brisket every time!

Rudy's off 35 in denton ,... because they make there BBQ so good ,,.. soo good to make you steel your little brothers piggy bank smash it open just to buy some of there brisket !!!! ... BBQ sauce is excellent as well!!!! yummy!!! dont get me started now lol!!!

well Breckenridge Tx. has a new BBQ place called PitStop BBQ. Hands down the best BBQ I have ever had that didn't come from East Texas. BBrown I can't believe you would even mention Angelo's gotta be the worst BBQ in the murderplex.

Brothers in Law's on the east side of Houston. Grew up eating there, and it is still my favorite by far.

IM TELLING YOU GUYS RUDY's IS THE NUTSSS

If you ever make it to downtown Houston, you need to look up Thelma's BBQ, the building looks like it should be condemned, the customer service sucks, but the food is out of this world, she has been featured in several magazines for best BBQ in Texas and been in Texas Monthly a couple of times.

It's outstanding food... and very cold beer

Oh, machinist, you just don't know good BBQ when you eat it!

Thanks for the tip on Breckenridge. I knew as soon as I gave up birdhunting (Breckenridge was where we had a lease for 10 years or so) that they would open something besides a fried chicken place.

Saltlick in Driftwood has got to be #1, Mt. Zion in Huntsville(yes it is still open) is #2, Coopers in LLanno is a close 3rd though. And honerable mention for a chain is Rudy's!

Hey, several new BBQ places just opened in my area. Pitmasters, Smokey Joe's, Henry's BBQ, and Big John's BBQ. Got to give all of them a try.
