I love your part of Texas, we stayed in Bourne for a few weeks, then Buda for a few. Looked at property in the Hill country...ah, pricey....
Looked at the mfg. homes, thought about getting a little land and a double wide. Maybe some day...
Enjoy it for me. Next time We come that way, we will try your area.

Dreamland BBQ by Big Daddy John Bishop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. You can have anything you want there, as long as you want BBQ, white bread, baked beans, and sweet tea. "Ain't nothin' like 'em, nowhere!" Ken's in Pinson on Hwy 79 is hard to beat, too.

Over on this end of I-70, Gates, (I did his HVAC for 7 years) Bryant's, K.C. Masterpiece, Smokestack all very good. Come on over in the fall for the American Royal BBQ contest, a good time.
I stopped at The Salt Lick in Dripping Springs-Driftwood (Austin) area Texas, their beans sucked, no fries on the place, Brisket was awesome, but that was all.

Brisket at Salt Lick. Mmmmmmm. Now that's some Q. I agree that everything else on the menu is par at best.

Smitty, I think we are neighbors, Ive seen you around.
I ate at Kruez for lunch today right before looking at one of our 5 year old changeouts that the customer accidentally shot with an AR 15! He said he was putting his rifle up, in his closet which is directly under his AH. Gun went off and a .223 bullet skimmed through the AHU barely getting into the evap coil! Changing a coil and pan Friday!

I always schedule my Lockhart work (not much) around lunch time. I really used to be a fan of Blacks when Mr Black was there (early 90's), last time there seemed like it wasnt as good as it once was. Maybe I need to give it another go next time Im in town.
My favorties in order:
City Market - Luling
Salt Lick
Kruez Market
Rudys - The one on 35 just north of San Antonio, dont know why but it is the best. The one on 360 in Austin is good too
Blacks (I'll give it another try)

Gates in KC is good, real saucy, Sonny Bryants,,,, OK, and Jack Stacks Ribs are good if your there in KC.

Actually had some good Q in New York City once

Had some of the worst in Maui, blaaah!

we are neighbors, we don't do a whole lot of work in lockhart, but it is always scheduled around lunch time. i do like kreuz's and city market too. blacks has the old lockhart feel to it and the brisket is tender enough to cut with a spoon. my family and i all go to denton in the fall for the nascar races and pass right by sonny bryants, have been meaning to go, but haven't made it yet. maybe next time. the pork ribs at fuschaks aren't too bad. i need some customers who shoot coils every five years or so, how do i arrange that.

Brannigan's in Southington, CT has the best ribs I have ever had...Now that I live in Central Florida, I'm still looking.

Dave's BBQ in downtown Gilbert,AZ. Great brisket and they make there own root beer! Best lemon cake this side of the mississippi too.

bubbalou's bbq in Orlando

Bubbalous in Altamonte Springs too. They aren't great but they are the best we have around here.

I use to like several but about 5 years ago I was working in
Tysons corner Virginia and drove to
Daves world famous bar b q
I got hooked and ate there 4 of the 5 nights I was there.
Now we have one in Clearwater yee haw
its a 2 hour drive but worth it
they are supposed to build one near me soon
I keep writing them e-mails because I found a perfect spot for one
but they keep blowing me off and telling me to go to Clearwater

You go to "Famous Daves," when you have "Sonny's"

When I travel down 95, I plan my trips around Sonny's I always order the "Feast for Four," of course this always ends up in an arguement with my family, when the food comes. "You guys, didn't order anything??"

Yes sir...Black's or Kreuz, my two favorites. Saltlick is good but overrated.

In Wichita Falls, TX : Branding Iron. Beef is best I ever had, sausage,.. yum, never even had anything close to it!

[geerair]

City Market - Luling

Hell yeah!!!!!!

More faves:

Cooper's - Llano brisket, beans outstanding

Snow's - Lexington best brisket I've ever eaten

Angelo's- Ft. Worth brisket topnotch

Louie Mueller's -Taylor brisket great-not too thrilled with their sauce

Had some of the worst in Maui, blaaah!

Closest I could find there to BBQ was some kind of grilled Japanese steak.
