Was their lease up? I seem to remember Champ saying a few years ago that they may have a future issue with the landlord when their lease was up. Or I could have just made that conversation up.


plenty of investors here

Just back from a 1 day nilgai hunt on the King Ranch; had lunch at Tucker’s BBQ in Raymondville on Friday.   Bark cut off the brisket!  Tasted like it was cooked too fast, too hot.  Potato salad just meh. Broccoli “slaw” was interesting and pretty good.  Do not recommend this place-Whataburger is less than a block away.

Why do some joints do this? I realize we all have our preferences, but slicing off the bark is like removing the skin or batter from fried chicken.

Looks like Champ is going to have to find another pit to run - Good luck Jim, hope it works out for you, missed out on getting to Dozier's my last trip to Houston.

In other news, I actually DID go to Dozier's today.  At noon fifteen all they had was brisket and chicken. I had a sliced brisket sandwich.  The moist brisket was fine but the bun was a little stale. When I left, they  were out of everything but said they would have ribs and sausage around 2:30. They still had Jim's slightly sweet sauce on the tables along with Ed's original.

I was hoping to get some stuff from the meat market side but pickins were slim. I picked up a pkg of pecan smoked bacon ends and a ham slug. Was also hoping for some sage sausage and jerky but it was all gone and there won't be any more. 

So long Dozier's.  

Best spot to go in Ft Worth with a bunch of kids for lunch? Bringing relatives from Buffalo, NY so it doesn’t have to be Goldee’s quality.

top of my head, then did a little poking around - and some of these are cheating lol basically going w/ anything that isn'tthe  trinity so that takes out some of the more interesting sausages out there.

  • Leroy and Lewis: beef cheek, whole hog
  • Snows: pork steak
  • Reese Bros: carnitas torta + poblano mac (special shoutout to the queso fundito sausage)
  • Hutchins: Texas Twinkie
  • Burnt Bean: yes
  • Eaker BBQ: gochujang pork ribs + any of the korean sides. different glazed pork belly burnt ends
  • Helberg: smoked, then fried chicken (sunday only?)
  • Valentinas: Real Deal Holyfield - honestly any of the breakfast tacos
  • Sunbird: the different glazed pork belly burnt ends
  • CM Smokehouse: Crunchwrap
  • Mum Foods: pastrami
  • Opies: pork chop

other ones i haven't had but probably belong on a list like this

  •  @Patricio Swayze (RIP) and others have recommended a number of things from Brisket and Rice.
  • heard very very good things about the lamb chops at Barbs.
  • know a guy who loves the fried chicken from slow bone, and loved it from Pecan Lodge.
  • Tejas Chocolate's carrot souffle belongs on here somewhere.
  • KG BBQ's brisket bowl?

any place that has good sausage, i'm assuming they would do an off menu mel man - chopped brisket + chopped sausage


Barb was very mid, not in the same category as Burnt Bean. Ill never go back to BarB

For a crew like that, why not Angelo's or Railhead?

Angelo’s was what came to mind but didn’t know if I was missing out on a newer brick and mortar spot that was good. 

I like Railhead.  Good location, Good ribs, great fries and big schooner of beer if you are in to that kind of thing.

Ribbee's - pork or beef back rib box for $20.

Not sure when I'll be in that area, but I'll definitely check it out.

So I've got some time, I'm thinking this appetizer at Pecan Lodge? Maybe head to Terry Blacks around the corner for the main course?

that’s nice of them to do that.  sometimes I forget my scissors. 

Ribbee's is really good. But I prefer the sauce/rub they use at the Goldee's location. The cole slaw is better at Goldee's as well. Goldee's cole slaw is not mayo based. Ribbee's tastes like Chick fil a's. ALSO, I would take a slice or two of their homemade bread over the roll.

Avoid Coopers unless you get the pork chop.  Black's is in NB, too.  Avoid.

Kelly's Hill Country Barbecue in WImberly - https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/kellys-hill-country-barbecue/

used to be Creekside Cookers until they closed in 21, then they reopened.

Hays County Barbeque in San Marcos was in the top 50

let me be vert clear, i have NOT been to Nik's Not Normal but have heard positive things from a couple of folks. here is what BBQ Snob himself had to say in the "where to eat BBQ in and around San Antonio" article: https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/where-eat-barbecue-san-antonio/

Quote

Nik’s Not Normal in Canyon Lake
The lake is a bit of haul from San Antonio, but it’s well worth the drive. The best option among the myriad joints in town is Nik’s Not Normal, which is housed in a colorful food truck. It would be hard to call the barbecue abnormal, but the sliced brisket is admirable, the smoked turkey is juicy, and the sausage is made nearby in New Braunfels. 9941 FM 2673, 832-869-1777

to be fair i also saw one that looked like it had about an inch of fat on the top of a piece that had not been rendered at all, so maybe hit and miss. but it's canyon lake for god's sake - not like there are a million choices.

The diet plate.  Very nice. 

Thanks for the recs fellas. Damn we are severely lacking in the BBQ game in NB proper I guess. 
 

Black’s is ok I guess. Way overpriced. My wife likes it so we go there reluctantly.
Coopers is Coopers. I prefer it over Blacks for the Llano nostalgia from the 90s-00s.

I’ll have to try the other places- I’m actually like 15 miles NW of NB so I guess I need to get to Nik’s and Kelly’s soon. 
 

Best bbq I’ve had since I moved to NB has been smoked in my back yard on my WSM honestly.

Jay’s in Abilene. Was really damn good. It was Jay’s birthday celebration with live music and stuff though (which I was not aware of), so it made the wait pretty long (almost 2.5 hours). But, at least it was tasty.

Barbs has probably moved into my top 10

Brisket - outstanding

Ribs - above average

turkey - not judging because i usually dont order turkey enough to be a proper judge, but it tasted good to me?

Green Spaghett - one of the best sides ive ever had at a bbq joint

Beans - different but good

cinnamon bread - meh, pass

choco pudding - homemade and solid

Sauce - incredible. Carolina vinegar style

Brisket and everything else was passable.  None of us were super impressed other than the ribs.
