I drive past a Sammy's Bar-b-q in uptown Dallas frequently. Anybody know if it is any good?

davids in arlington, didn't read all responses but it's gotta be on the list

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but Franklin's in East Austin is now officially the best BBQ I've had. You may have to wait in a long line to get it, but it's worth it. Sausage is a little different with a great flavor and the brisket is out of this world, flavorful and moist with a perfect mix of smokeyness and spices. They've only been around for a few years, but look for them to be near the top of all the "best" BBQ lists. Article in Bon Appetit Magazine called it the best in the country. Not bad for a guy that started out in a trailer just 3 years ago and hasn't even been in his B&M location for a year.

Also opened recently in Austin were a couple of other places with ties to Muellers in Taylor (Aaron Franklin of Franklin's worked at Muellers), Muellers in a trailer in South Austin and Stiles Switch on North Lamar. Both have a similar cut and style to Franklin's brisket, but neither are as great, but both are good.

Had McBee's down in Pleasanton on Friday and it was really good. Definitely recommended for anyone headed down towards Choke or a short side trip on your way to Falcon.

So my favorite is Franklin's with Kreuz's in second and bunch of others in third.

Most of the ones I've seen on the "road shows" and read about in the magazines have been disappointments. I think it's hard for restaurants to be consistent. Coopers in Llano has always been pretty good for me, overpriced though.
Worst I ever had was Davila's in Seguin or the BBQ joint in Blanco, but those were all years ago.
Dying to try Port City Barbecue in Jefferson next time I go up to Caddo Lake.

The Bullfrog grill in Lake Worth does a great job with a brisket, I like the way they Texas Chain Saw Massacre the fat back on the brisket to keep the inside juicy.
Plus they will deliver to my office for special occasions with free loaf of Texas toast...

X2 on Franklins in Austin; but the best ribs hands down still belongs to Stanley's in Tyler. The Purple Pig in Noonday is pretty darn good as well.

I've heard that from a lot of folks. Think I'll head out there Monday

as big a state as texas is, we'll never agree on one "best" bbq joints in tx. no telling how many 'best" bbq joints we have in tx

If Buzzies is the best brisket in Texas then we all need to move to Oklahoma.

Texas Monthly also endorsed Obama

David's in Arl is best I've found(haven't tried em all though)

Silverado Smokehouse in Corpus Christi is outstanding. Ribs, Brisket, and sausage are all great, and the sides are very good, as well. I just wish it was closer to Ft. Worth.

Coopers is good but they bare too proud of what they serve.
