My agency has a office in Wolfforth, so i frequent #8 Evie Mays quite a bit. It is legit, never disappoints.
Stanleys in Tyler is decent as well, but IDK about top 50 worthy.
Those are the only two i have ever been to, have not even heard of most of them.

My BBQ blows any of these jokers out of the water. Let me know if you want some $40 a pound brisket to verify.

^^ It is crazy that quality brisket is close to $30 per pound these days. As a guy who smokes meat and appreciates good quality and understands the length of time to cook good barbecue, it's still hard to fathom that one of the toughest cuts of meat can cost as much as some steaks.

I sold truckloads of 119 briskets for $0.75 a lb.
but this was back when our money had some value to it

Leaving 407 off the list is a travesty. It isn’t a list without 407…

Leaving 407 off the list is a travesty. Agree. I tried it a couple of months ago and some of the best brisket I've had. Very friendly people as well.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

Even my favorite places can be hit or miss and I agree it’s very subjective.
My favorite places:
Louie Mueller
Blacks
Smitty’s
Smoke Sessions
Hutchins
Going to try Snows, Goldee’s and Panther City soon.
Panther city is pretty good stuff. The smoked mac and cheese is legit.

Over the years when I lived in Houston, I really liked the Luling City Mkt BBQ joint on Richmond at the 610 west loop. The few times I had gone there I always wondered how that place was still open.

BBQ is highly subjective topic. Ask 10 people who has the best BBQ, and you'll most likely get 10 different answers. Only thing you’ve ever said here that is correct. Congrats

I would hate to be on the bbq list between the b itchin and flawed polls
It’s depends on the audience. Some places cater to hipsters and some cater to olds.

I have serious concerns about this “review”. Bretts was on the list in Katy. I go by it every day. I think they closed when the pandemic started. Looked on my way home tonight ain’t NOBODY there. Must have been some leftover frozen brisket cuz there ain’t no smoke either.

I’ll admit, I have a pellet grill and it has its place, BUT, it absolutely cannot match a brisket or ribs off a stick burner. I have a smokehouse for my sausage and I’ll do brisket or ribs in it, and it beats the chit out of the pellet grill.

True, If you cant Q then you pay and brag about how good it was…. Even if it sucked. Get a smoker and learn how to Q. Your friends will love you🍺

I have a smokehouse for my sausage and I’ll do brisket or ribs in it, and it beats the chit out of the pellet grill. That would be something to see a bbq place open with only using them; seeing like 30 pellet smokers all lined up. Be one hell of an electric bill.

Intersteller is top notch, they deserve their spot. My surprise was that Leroy and Lewis wasn't higher on the list.
BBQ has changed, it takes more than just the basic trinity and 3 sides these days. With that said some of the old school places that paved the way being left off is a whole other story.
Attention rickym, this is not a troll post, just a good hearted fun type of post

Yep. The thing I always didn't ever get at the old school places was their sides. For me they were usually pretty bland and nothing was wow I really want some. This newer places have finally figured it out, once you master the meat you need to focus on the sides. What will set us from the others, having a unique side dish that isn't offered at others. I also like how some of them have specials with offerings of preparing the meat in different ways.

I also like how some of them have specials with offerings of preparing the meat in different ways. This is it right here. Aaron Franklin laid the blue print with his Youtube videos and before long EVERYONE had great brisket and ribs. The ones who stand out today have a great menu from top to bottom. There is not a single item on Burnt Bean's menu that wasn't well thought out an executed perfectly. Evie Mae's in Lubbock is another example. I could not get a single slice of meat (no way that would actually happen though) and still have an incredible meal.

I also like how some of them have specials with offerings of preparing the meat in different ways. Kreuz's Market was never better when they sold meat, avocados, cheese, onions, maters and gave away either crackers or bread. You would wash it down with root beer, Big Red or sweet tea. No potato salad, no cole slaw, no beans, no sauce and certainly no forks. It was all about the meatfest put on butcher paper and carried to the table within your own two hands. Luling always had a good sauce, but few if any ever purchased sides. Why oh why in the whole wide world would anyone want to fill up with taters & beans when the meat was what it was about?

The sides at the old school institutions have always been unimaginative and pretty subpar. Bland potato salad, hard beans, runny cole slaw, with some Mrs. Baird's bread does nothing for me. The meat is the star of the show, but the sides shouldn't be a complete give up either.
