Best BBQ in Area

[PatentLaw]

Ok Houston members,

For us stupid Yankees, I am going to ask one of the first questons that people ask when they come to your area. I have no shame.

What is the best BBQ and where do I find it?

Coming down from NJ, I stopped off in Nashville at the famous Neely's BBQ. Frankly it was over rated.

I then tried to stop off at the Mean Pig BBQ outside of Little Rock that supposedly is great. It was closed. Ugh.

I had also heard that the Lufkin Texas BBQ is great. Stopped there. It was very very good. Much better than Neely's.

What are your collective BBQ suggestions on BBQ? I have heard that this is great.

The best BB-Q in Texas is Saltlick in Driftwood outside of Austin, well worth the trip. Demeris Barbecue on 9552 Hempstead, Pappas BB-Q downtown. Good luck Happy eating.

Saltlick is really good. Only been there once though. Can't go wrong with Pappas and it is in Houston too. If you love BBQ you just missed out because the Rodeo is the place to go to try all of the BBQ joints.

I always go to Brisket BBQ in Bellare, TX. It is close by but I wouldn't call it the best in town. They do have a Western Po-boy specialty that I love though.

Oops...Double post.

You guys ever have a Viper Club gathering at a BBQ joint?

The Virginia guys have a huge meeting once a year at the Fisherman's Inn Crab Deck in Maryland (near the center of the Bay). It is super successful. Over 50 cars.

With all of the Vipers in the Houston area, it could easily surpass that event.

 

[JHill9]

Sounds like fun to me.

I am new to the club. Anyone know how many people are in the Houston area club?

JHill9 Have you been to any of the clubs events . Troy

I agree with the above statements on BBQ choices.

Good to see you on here more often Troy!

Nope. Haven't even had my Viper for 2 months yet. The only viper owner I have ever met, I bought his car from him.

Since your moving into Texas please understand most of us think our own BBQ is best, but if your looking to eat out I really like Goode Co BBQ. We have a club BBQ coming up at the Dads club (Voss and I10) I belive in August. Will pull up the smoker in the AM and get to work. The board thought it would be fun to have more of a family event and the big pools and shaded areas should provide a proper venue for us. Hope you can make it. You can come and watch Jamie and I argue over BBQ receipts and smoking temps!

PatentLaw-If you ever go through Alabama, I think the best place to go for ribs is, "Dreamland BBQ". The original place is located about two miles from the intersection of Hwy 82 and Interstate 59 just south of Tuscaloosa in an area known as Jerusalem Heights. I went there once and loved it. But now, when I'm in state, I go to the one at, Northport. There are other locations throughout Alabama and Georgia. I'm not familiar with Texas BBQ's, but when and if, you head back to Jersey and if you travel through Alabama, Dreamland BBQ is a worthwhile stop.

I will have to travel through that direction. That is a fantastic idea. Dreamland BBQ it is. Consider it done. Will report back when I get there. Thanks!

Demeris' is good BBQ. Used to eat there a couple times a month when I worked in that area.
