bbq from restaurants are not that good anymore, meat tough, covered in some time of sweet tomato base sauce. I like my meat to fall off the bone, so tender you can cut with spoon

Properly cooked bbq should not fall off the bone. It should easily pull off the bone.
While driving through Kansas, I got to eat at Arthur Bryant’s. Best BBQ I had ever tasted, and while there are no doubt many good places around the country, only a few raise the bar. Arthur Bryant’s is definitely one and I’d go back to KC just for that!
I live in KC. I'm not a fan of Bryant's. My favorites are Jack Stack and Q39, with an honorable mention to Joe's KC. Jack Stack was actually my favorite but I think now it's Q39. Ribs so tender and good even without sauce, and great brisket and burnt ends too.
The best BBQ is the one middle of nowhere side of the road with a smoker in the backyard or side and the menu is scribbled on a cardboard. Big portions and cheap prices not so many millennial approved hyped up places charging $25-35 for ribs. BBQ should be cheap eats not fine dining like so many new places.
This right here. And if people are afraid to go in it, all the better - more for me!
Franklin's in Austin is rated by some authorities as the best in the US. I've been and it is pretty incredible, but I don't think its better than the places in Lockhart or Luling. Luling City Market is the best I've ever had.
City Market is awesome - though I haven't made it to Snow's in Lexington in time to get any.
Agreed! Blacks in Luling gets our #1 pick, with Franklin BBQ of Austin #2.
We actually stopped at Blacks on the way back from judging the Memphis in May BBQ Competition last year....was CRAVING BEEF!!! (Memphis in may is PORK only except for the wildcard division, which can get CRAZY!!!!!!!!!)
Black's is in Lockhart (and it's the best in the town since the family feud over Kreuz's ruined it). But it doesn't hold a candle to City Market in Luling.
Best bbq in Cali and maybe even the west coast is Bludso’s.....
