where's the best bbq in texas?

Mt Zion Church - Huntsville

Shut Up Discussion Over!

right on!

Mt. Zion is great. So is Snow's in Lexington, TX.

in dfw area?

You said in TEXAS

Theres a Coopers in Ft Worth, Theres a place in Irving called Franks thats really popular

Lockhart, TX

Wow, that place was an utter disaster the few times I went, there were more flies on my plate than ribs. The brisket was chewy, bland and well quite frankly bill millers is better. Just completely completely terrible. Heck that place isn’t even the best BBQ place in Huntsville. They used to have great bbq, but then the guy died. Someone else took it over, and it went downhill fast. I haven’t been there since college, but definitely not ever going to go back.

I went about a week ago and it was great. We usually get it to go though.

Never been there, but my son who lives in Austin tells me that Franklin's is THE hot BBQ spot now:

WE used to go because it was cheap and all you can eat. But that ended, after a couple trips and we settled on the 5 dollar burgers at Mckenzies.

Bandit - I just noticed you live in Denton - you have a Rudy's right there on I-35E, and that's awfully good BBQ.

Lockhart BBQ suxs.

Mac's BBQ in Gergory is pretty good. But the one in Rockport has better ribs.

check out hashknife in pedenville next time you go to pk

I hope you're kidding

Not kidding at all. I think Rudy's is very good, if a bit expensive. Ever tried their breakfast burritos? Muy excellente!

Rudy's is a solid offering for a chain BBQ restaurant. (not good enough to eat at however)

Rudy's is the WORST

Make friends with Stax08 here on the forum. The man is the master at smoking meat (not that there's anything wrong with that). I witnessed Mark Pack talk to himself while eating Stax08's 2 day old wings and tenderloin on our last trip.

The best bbq I've found in the Fort Worth area is "Off the Bone" at 5144 Mansfield Hwy in Forest Hill.

I won't say the "best in Fort Worth" because I have not been to every bbq place in Fort Worth, but based on my experience, it is the best tasting bbq. An added plus is "super friendly people".

Try it out! See for yourself.

Spring Creek comes in a close second.

Spring Creek has excellent ribs, and the hot rolls are also a nice touch. Rudy's and Sonny Bryan's have excellent brisket. The only really disappointing BBQ I remember having recently was at Angelo's in Fort Worth, which may have been the go-to BBQ joint back in The Day, but The Day has long since passed for them.

I actually agree with you on Angelo's


BUT Excellent and Spring Creek/Rudy's/Sonny Bryan's just don't go together...more like acceptable or decent.

spring creek has my favorite ribs. railhead is good. very cold beer too.
