Not so much, DCD. The Georgian, and other southern BBQ, is very different than Texas BBQ, but it still very much has its place.

Just have to open your closed little mind a little. I still prefer the spicy vinegar based sauce over the stuff that passes as melted pralines, only sweeter here in Texas. Check out Redneck's Peanut BBQ just west of the Athens' city limit.

Cooper's and the old Kreuz's still rein supreme.

Oh yea, Sonny Bryan's = OVER RATED.

Yep...and that place is in Georgia!
Sorry, but I used to work for a place in Georgia, and I sampled enough of what they thought was good. .......yuchhhh!

No argument here!
Throw in Louis Mueller's in Taylor for good measure!

Home cooked Q isn't very good in Georgia either. Wife's relatives live there and they smoked a butt one day for pulled pork. Thats was the nastiest stuff!

Now the rest of the food that they cooked while we were there was awesome!

Coopers in Junction, it looks like they pour oil on it and taste that way also. VERY GREASY

E B's at Lake Fork when it was last opened, not many times I leave food on my plate, the only thing I ate was the french fry's.

I've had Chilis ribs at the Forney location and they were pretty good. I guess I got the good cook. There is a c-store in Terrell that sells BBQ, at least thats what the sign says. I ordered BBQ sandwiches. When I got home I looked at them and coulnt find the BBQ. The substance on the bun looked like left over burnt grease you normally find at the bottom of an iron skillet. It tasted like they used old barn wood to cook it with. Dont remember the name of the place, but they are on hwy 34. Sammy Walkers in Forney gets my thumbs up.

In the mid 80's I worked close to downtown FW. There was a small c-store called Greenway, but we called it the Greenfly.

Anyway back then the sold chopped BBQ sammies 2 for $1. Wasn't too bad, but for that price, we ate about 4 of them and were stuffed! Went there about twice a week.

Angelos in Fort Worth SUUUUUUUCKS....I was seriously let down. Somebody should be slapped for serving that food.

Next time try Railhead at Montgomery and Vickery.

Oh yea, another good one is Papas BBQ on NW Hwy is Dallas.

Yes sir, still open. Tried to eat there last Friday on the way into Houston and it looked like NYC in the parking lot.

Hard 8 in Coppell is TERRIBLE. Add, Dickie's/Coulters/Bill Miller to the list. Clarks in Tioga isn't that great either.

Sonny B's is good. I don't understand all the Hate. Yeah, it's kinda pricey, but it's consistent and generally not bad. Try different locations: Frankford/Tollway, Campbell/Coit, MacArthur in Irving. all are pretty decent and clean.

As for the BEST in Texas:

Mike Anderson's on Harry Hines
Bodacious BBQ in Mt. Pleasant
Rudy's in Round Rock off 35 - EXTRA Moist Brisket
Goode Company in Houston
Salt Lick - in Driftwood ( Bee Caves location sucks )
Cross Town BBQ in Elgin
Railhead - Ft. Worth
Randy Whites in Frisco

I'm sure there are others...

Angelo's...Ft. Worth....Magnificent!

Main Street....Euless.....Great!

Pat's Low Grade Dog Food List:

Mikeskas in Taylor...and next door to one of the best in the states-Louie Muellers, how do they stay open?

Any of the Hard 8's I've been to were just nasty.

Poor boy's in Salado...oh my, my dog wouldn't eat it and she scarfs cat turds...

There's a lot more, those are just memorably bad.

And anything I've ever had in Virginia, N or S Carolina, Georgia were just stuff, but not very good stuff at that.

I failed to mention Mikeska's in El Campo. What garbage!!

Underwoods in Brownwood has terrible tasting BBQ beef...

Sonny Bryan's - Eaten there several times

Bit the worst is still:

DICKIES BBQ!

Clark's BBQ in Tioga is awesome!

No one has mentioned Colters, so here is a vote for them.

I liked Clark's in Tioga the one time I ate there.
I used to like the Mikeska's in Temple but that was over
20 years ago.

I did!!! I did!!!

That stuff was really bad.

Someone just mentioned Dickey's. I finally broke down and tried Dickey's the other day. It wasn't the best that I have had, but it certainly wasn't the worst!

Agree with you Bigbob, I ate at a Rib Crib in Searcy Arkansas, and it looked and tasted like low grade dog food

It really bothers me when I have to hold my Sonny's Q sandwich with both hands to keep that awful brisket from falling out and when the Bud is served in a UNFROSTED mug. The sauce you have to put on yourself really makes it difficult to not get enough on the Q.
I really get irritated when the rings are not large and it only takes one bite to finish one off. And that is all I have to say about that except when you go in to get seconds the birds carry off the Q .

Boy...I gotta agree with you guys....
anything with the name Mikeskas...Is a trip to the "VOMITORIUM!!!"

I have to be careful on my directions when I send folks to Muellers in Taylor (One of the best in the state!} Cause they share the same parking lot!!!!
