Hey Davey,
Rudy's in Lubbock. Got food poisoning from the brisket and spent a couple o days talking to the great one on the big white throne.

Will never ever go back to Rudy's here ( or anywhere ) .

Nut

Sorry to hear that Nut. I didn't know they had one there. I hear they just opened one in Frisco. I'll be checking it out.

Dickey's in Buffalo...Dried out mess of a brisket...very sad

sugar daddy's...

Don't know if I'd call it the worst, but The Salt Lick in Dripping Springs is WAAAAAY overrated. The drive is pretty though. Dull brisket, uninspired beans, bland sausage and just flat out weird potato salad. In both of the BBQ issues of Texas Monthly, when praises were being handed out for mains, sides and things that just made a location special, the best they could muster up for the Lick was that the building looked nice.

The worst I've had in Texas was at Clyde the Glides restaurant in Houston. The service was terrible and unfortunately, the BBQ was worse.

Having lived in the Bay Area for a while, I'll add the Texas BBQ place in Vallejo and Ernest's BBQ in Berkeley. Ernest's is very famous and featured on a few cooking shows, but it was terrible. The beef was boiled with no smokey flavor. It was another place that subscribed to the philosophy that the sauce makes it BBQ.

Spring Creek chain in DFW area.

OMG they called that BBQ. I guess people not from Texas might call that Q, but it was oven cooked and they have a smoker out front acting like they are actually cooking it in there. NOT!!!!

I have 2 that I would say are not that good. They are Rudy's and Rib Crib. Average to below average bbq to me.

I have always loved a gr8 brisket, but at Hard Eight in Coppell they ruined it !! I did enjoy the side dishes, but the dessert was awful too!


San

Sounds like I know someone thats not going to the TFF Chirstmas party!

Smockey Joe's in Roland OK. That's right. (insert okie joke of choice here)
couldn't spell, damn-shore couldn't cook, either.
Everything tasted like charcoal covered in vinegar!

You know, I'm from OK, and I'll have to admit that there isn't much good BBQ there. Of course there are exceptions, but not many.
