I just read through the list and there is some marginal BBQ making the top 50. Texas Monthly needs to slip out to 407BBQ in Argyle. I'd rank if above Pecan Lodge these days,and every bit as good as Heims. I'd like to ive Snow's a try some day. And will make a point of trying out CattleAck in the near future. I think it's sort of strange a place like Cattleack BBQ get's the #1 ranking in Dallas and #3 in the state, and they are only open 2 days a week, and only for lunch on those days. I'd like to try it but that's a VERY limited window of opportunity. Anybody been there? Cattleack is a very limited window, which is why I have only eaten there twice. I have always thought it was really good barbecue. The brisket, ribs, and sausage were very good, but the beef rib was the best beef rib I have had not cooked by somebody named Mueller. The Toddfather sandwich is great as well. I wish Cattleack was open more that one Saturday a month, because my work schedule doesn't allow me to eat there except for rare days when I have a Friday off.

I plan on hitting up your place sometime very soon. Do you give a THF discount?

Having had some of these places makes me wonder what it is they really rate by.

They have lost a step with consistency after the expansion and dropping out of the Top 5 proves that. They still have good days though and one of the best meals I've ever had came from an event they held. http://gunsupbbq.blogspot.com/2016/01/pecan-lodge-behind-pit.html

I plan on trying Truth BBQ on Friday while I am in Brenham for the day. Go early unless you don't mind standing in a long line. I go by there at least twice a week and theres always a line. Haven't tried them yet but I hear it's good.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

There are some good BBQ joints not on this list, I have eaten at 3 of the top 50 and had better BBQ several times. Hard to break down this great State into an objectionable 50. I know I would rather drive across a county to try something new before I stand in a line to eat overrated meat.

My wife and I had a late lunch at the 407 BBQ for the first time on Saturday. She had the chopped brisket sandwich and I had the the Boss Hog. The Boss Hog was great! She loved the Brisket as well. Great quality, flavor and generous portions of meat on both sandwiches. Can't wait to try the platters on our next visit.

Went to Truth BBQ in Brenham today and some was good and other was average. The brisket was oh so moist with a wonderful bark, the only pit fall was that it was too damn salty. I am not talking about oh it's over salted a bit, I am talking where is the water over salted. The ribs and sausage were on point, they make the sausage in house. The beans and mac n cheese were middle of the road.

I've been to six places with my BBQ passport so far. Corkscrew in Spring was a great outing. Some of the best brisket I've had in all my life. Ever. That's for both the moist and lean. Ohhh I need a time machine!

Just ate at the #10 joint Stiles in Austin. It was the best brisket I've ever eaten! Maybe I'm to country, but $20/pound for brisket just flat out hurts my feelings!! I had 1/2 pound with 2 jalapeno cheese links and 2 side, wife had 2 meat plate.. $45
Maybe its just my tight German side but dang it
