What City has the Best Texas BBQ?

[nitronate]

i've been meaning to try out the salt lick as i've heard some rave reviews. however, BBQ is so subjective it's impossible to name the best.

We are headed down for the Big 12 Championship, any recommendations for BBQ ribs in the Grapevine area?

I'll probably get zinged for this, but my wife and I like Spring Creek barbecue on Hwy 114. Yes, it'a a chain, but the ribs are good IMO and their hot rolls are outstanding.

Coopers BBQ in Llano TX has my vote. You won't be disappointed. I went to a flight school in central TX and on the weekends everyone would fly out to llano, eat lunch, and fly back. Building flight time and eating good TX BBQ.

There are quite a few places that serve good BBQ in Texas.

If you come through Lubbock, try Bigham's Smokehouse Real Pit on 82nd street. There BBQ is where I got my gut on All You Can Eat rib night. Get the sauce on the side because the meat is really good without it.

Also Rudys Country Store has locations all across Texas and a few in border states. Pretty good BBQ and they have Hot and Sissy sauce.

For the BEST steaks I have found try Trail Dust Steak House at 2300 East Lamar Boulevard in Arlington, TX across the freeway from Six Flags. Get the mesquite flame cooked tenderloin. Oh and DO NOT wear a tie. They will cut it off and hang it on the wall. Some of the reviews are critical of it so read up and make sure it is what you are looking for.

If in Ft Worth, check out:
Lone Star Bar-B-Que
6320 N Beach St
Haltom City, TX

They are north east of Loop 820 and I35W.

When we lived there it was our regular stop. Good BBQ and sides. (Not Sweet.)

Clarks Outpost in Tioga. Amazing ribs and BBQ sauce. It's quite a drive up 377 north of Dallas, but worth it. The building is not much to look at, but it had a grass helipad outback for people flying up from Dallas.

Go to Lockhart and hit the BBQ trail - Smitty's Market, Kreuz, Cooper's, Black's.
