This place probably has its moments, but our visit wasn’t one of them. When we were there (around 1:30pm.,) there was only one person working – the owner. This made for extremely slow service. Mr Monroe had to do everything. He manned the pit, took the orders and served them up, and ran the cash register. I was going to have pulled pork, but he gave me a sample of his ribs and changed my mind. The ribs I had weren’t like his sample. (I don’t think it was intentional) They were dry and over cooked. My wife’s pulled pork sandwich was downright boring. On the other hand, the potato salad, baked beans, and barbecue sauce were excellent. Will I be back? Probably not. We were just passing through.

Big T’s Mill St BBQ Company – Menu with Prices – 242 Mill St, Worcester

We went to Big T’s Mill Street Barbecue for dinner. Bottom line, it was OK. My wife got a pulled chicken slider with roasted veg, and she enjoyed it quite a bit. I wanted to try a little of everything so I ordered their “BBQ Sundae” with brisket, pulled pork and a couple of St. Louis ribs added in. It came with Mac n cheese under the pulled pork and beans and cornbread under the brisket and a side of rice. My lasting impression was that other than the ribs the food was cooked well but no distinct flavor. No hint of smoke. No spice or bark. The mac was cheesy, tasty, and not over cooked. The sauce which was mixed in with the pulled pork made it moist but didn’t add much dimension. The sauce over the brisket was thick and sweet but one-dimensional. The ribs though disappointed, they were cooked well with a good bite, not fall off the bone, but the thing that disappointed was that they clearly reheated them over the grill and while doing so burned them, not charted – burnt – giving them an aftertaste of ashtray. The restaurant itself is gorgeous – really nicely done and a pretty solid bar selection. All in all, out of 5. Good, not to die for, and let down on the ribs but I’d give them another shot hoping the ribs are usually better.

Homestyle BBQ – Menu with Prices – 1701 N Fort Harrison Ave, Clearwater

My quest for good Bbq in the Clearwater area has finally ended thanks to Homestyle Barbecue! The hospitality here is outstanding, the food is delicious, and it beats driving all the way to St. Petersburg for a rib dinner. What more can I ask for? I’ve tried numerous Bbq spots in Clearwater in hopes of finding the perfect pulled pork sandwich or tender ribs but none compare to Homestyle Barbecue. On my first visit to Homestyle Bbq the owner went above and beyond when it came to customer service by offering my friend and I samples of the pulled pork, ribs, and baked beans. We both ended up ordering the combo platter since we could not decide on which meat to choose with a side of Mac and cheese. The food was fresh and delicious beyond our expectations. If I could, I would give this review six stars solely based off of how well we were treated after telling the owner it was our first time trying their food!

County Road Provisions – Menu with Prices – 755 State Rd 207, St. Augustine

Just experienced the best barbecue since leaving Texas! I had ribs, pulled pork, sausage and brisket and this man knows how to barbecue. The ribs were my favorite, very meaty and seasoned with salt and pepper. Very little fat in the pulled pork and the brisket as amazing. If you havenâ??t tried this place you need to and donâ??t be thrown off by his trailer, this is very good!

Sloppy Mama’s BBQ Menu with Prices 5731 Lee Hwy, Arlington

I’m a BBQ fan (lived in the pork BBQ capital of America, Memphis, for 6 years) and I LOVE THIS PLACE! First of all just like many places in Memphis you can see the smokers outside in the parking lot where the smell of the meat smoking meets you before you even go inside. This is a great way to get people to start salivating for the barbecue they can order inside. We came for the first time tonight and ordered some brisket and pork and mac and cheese baked beans and cornbread as sides. While I’m not from Texas I do enjoy a good moist and wet brisket and this was among some of the best that I’ve had in the DC area. I would say that it is equivalent for better to Jack’s also in Arlington. The brisket was moist and if you wanted to get a fatty piece you could. The pulled pork was also very good. It was moist and had a delicious smoke to it. They do take the pulled pork and chop it for you before putting it on your tray. I actually prefer pulled pork 2 chopped pork so next time I will ask them not to chop it. For the sides the beans were delicious and the cornbread some of the best that I’ve ever had. Seriously I could go and just eat the cornbread alone. My wife had the mac and cheese and she also enjoyed it. They also have a good selection of barbecue sauces that come in a dispenser that looks like it could be dispensing ice tea. They have the following types of barbecue sauce. Georgia gold, Alabama white, Diablo, North Carolina vinegar, in Kansas City sweet. I have never had the Alabama white before and that was delicious. All the other sauces also Ware delicious and worth trying each one. I’m so glad that this place opened in North Arlington and will definitely be back to sample some additional meats and sides!

Archers BBQ – Menu with Prices – 4885 N Broadway St, Knoxville

Had heard good things about archers but mostly for their pulled pork, people had said you could find much better ribs but I decided to give the ribs a try as I already have a pulled pork place love. They tasted great and the sauce selection was wonderful, however I was unimpressed by the ribs. The full rack was tender towards the outer edges but tough in the center, and the skin over the rack was very thick and super tough, it pulled off in a single sheet which made the ribs better but I’ve never seen such thick, tough skin on ribs. I’m no smoking expert but it seems like the ribs I got were cooked too quickly with too much heat. Was hoping for a better experience as archers is the closest place to get bbq near my house. Maybe I got a bad batch but I will not be returning and will not be recommending the ribs to anyone.

Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que – Menu with Prices – 3002 W 47th St, Kansas City

I want to start off by saying I have a deep appreciation for barbecue. I’ve been fortunate to have had some incredible barbecue around this country, and unfortunately I’ve had some terrible barbecue around this country. I always get excited when I’m heading to Kansas City, knowing I’m going to be enjoying some great barbecue. I knew my first stop for barbecue on this trip was going to be Joe’s. The first surprising thing about Joe’s is that it’s inside a gas station. But don’t let that deter you. You know you’re at the right place when you see the enormous line out the door, only to find out that the line wraps around once you get inside the door. After spending an hour in line, I finally got to the front. After changing my mind several times, I settled on a full rack of ribs and a side of onion rings. The onion rings were a last-minute decision because everyone around me seemed to have an order and they looked great. There are two things that I’m on the lookout for whenever I order barbecue. Is it covered in sauce and is it served with white bread? I can tell you that the barbecue here was not covered in sauce and it came with two slices of white bread. These ribs were cooked to perfection. There was just the right amount of rub and smoke. The meat hung on to the bones but came off easily enough. It didn’t just fall off the bones. This is important! If the meat just falls off the bone, they’ve been overcooked. They had a nice pink color with a dark outside, and most importantly the taste was incredible. By the way, the staff here is amazing as well. Anthony Bourdain wrote when he listed Joe’s as one of the 13 places to eat at before you die. “People may disagree on who has the best BBQ. Here, the brisket (particularly the burnt ends), pulled pork, and ribs are all of a quality that meet the high standards even of Kansas City natives. It’s the best BBQ in Kansas City, which makes it the best BBQ in the world. The barbecue here is criminally good.” I couldn’t agree more. The ribs here were truly sublime. I will be making another visit to Joe’s before I leave.

Texas Rib Shack – Menu with Prices – 5025 W Olive Ave, Glendale

New owner and a nice guy. But….. I went last Sunday looking for some good bbq. I went and spent 130 bucks on 2. “Super slabs”, Baked beans, and green beans. Let’s talk about the ribs. Nothing was fresh. He microwaved my the ribs in 4 different batches. When they where actually cooked. Who knows. After the where microwaved they where then tossed in 2 different kids of bbq sauce. When I got home and ate them you could obviously tell that the ribs where not fresh at all and if I where to guys cooked days before. The green beans. The where canned green beans which there is nothing wrong with that. But with the added salt to already salted canned green beans they where to salty to eat really. And then there is his famous baked beans as he put it. They where canned beans. Nothing fancy. I’m all about supporting local businesses, but sorry. I won’t be back for microwaved ribs and canned food. I would not recommend this place at all. Two stars because the owner and a nice attitude on life. But food? Yea, no. He hasn’t been in business that long. So what I’ll do in 6 months I’ll go back and try again and leave another review for you all.

Southern Pig & Cattle – Menu with Prices – 6105 SW State Rd 200, Ocala

I should’ve heeded the other reviews! Anywhere that serves pulled pork bbq with the sauce mixed in is clearly hiding something. Might as well have bought a can of dinty moore, it might’ve been better. Traveling all day I needed a bite and drove throughout Ocala looking for something that spoke to me. I was hoping for a good plate of que and a glass of sweet tea. The tea was great so theres that. I ordered a combo plate w pulled pork and chicken (assuming pulled chicken for a sandwich but nope – just a hunk of really dried out chicken. The baked beans were ok but I don’t care for sugar in my food, they had lots of it and was hoping for more of a tang or bite to the baked beans but again no. I should’ve just stuck with the ole faithful Chick-fil-a, lesson learned. I will say the cashier at the take out counter was very pleasant and thoughtful.

City Barbeque and Catering – Menu with Prices – 2111 W Henderson Rd, Columbus

Service was excellent! I primarily don’t review an establishment by service (alone) as we’re all human and everyone has a bad day. That said, service was on point, which I don’t know how the service could be bad as you walk up to the counter, you read the menu, you order your food, pay for said food, AND get your own drink….pretty simple! All right, the review: Ribs (as someone had described earlier) fall off the bone! Great smokey flavor (order them dry so you can appreciate the smokey flavor) of which I did. They have some new barbecue sauces that they do every month whereas I just stayed true to a spicy barbecue sauce which was good. Green beans excellent! Coleslaw excellent x 2! I’m a vinegar based slaw kind of guy and this was excellent x 2! Now (for me, may not be for you) the downer: Since I am a brisket snob. That also being said, this brisket was a little dry. If you like barbecue sauce you can slather barbecue sauce all over it and it’s fine. I don’t wish to do that as I spend a lot of time in Texas and I like my brisket sliced, fatty, and the M word yes… moist! Other than that this place reps well and I would definitely come back.

Crossroads Bar and Grill Menu with Prices 1255 Barkley Blvd suite 102, Bellingham

I love Barbecue. Not the kind of barbecue that hides behind sauce. I’m talking about smoky, we don’t need no stinkin’ sauce kind of barbecue. Bellingham is pretty short on that kind of barbecue. So I was excited to try Crossroads. I stopped in and ordered the Combo Plate. You can choose between ribs, brisket or pulled pork for meat and you also get two sides. I think the only way to really tell if a place saying they have BBQ is real is to eat the brisket. I needs to be tender, fatty and smokey. If it comes slathered in sauce it isn’t brisket and they don’t know BBQ. So, of course, I ordered the brisket and for the other I went with ribs. For my two sides I got fries and coleslaw. The brisket was better than and I have had in Bellingham. It was tender with just the right amount of fat. It wasn’t fancied up with sauce. It was just salt, pepper and a long smoke. Perfection. The ribs were a bit tough, maybe another hour on the smoker could have done them some good. The flavor though. It was again better than any in Bellingham. I could discern a nice spice rub and there was just a touch of sauce. I didn’t think I liked sauce but this enhanced the ribs so much. It wasn’t overpowering, it was just right. The portions are good. There was enough food for at least two people. I didn’t share. I will be eating this again tomorrow for lunch. The service was nice. I did have a bit of problem with the order but everyone was more than ready to make it right. I would have given the place all the stars but the sides were a real blah. Frozen fries and standard coleslaw. It wasn’t bad it just wasn’t great. I would suggest you try out the barbecue at Crossroads. It’s good.

The Bar @ Saucehouse Menu with Prices 820 W Broad St, Athens

I’m not usually a big BBQ person but I do appreciate BBQ once in a (long) while. My workplace ordered some dishes for a work lunch and although we were in the area, Saucehouse wasn’t able to deliver to us because they require a minimum of a 25-person party in order to deliver so my supervisor had to go pick it up. We ordered a variety of dishes (pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, Brunswick stew, mac n’ cheese, baked beans, green bean casserole, potato salad, slaw, peach cobbler) and we also had an assortment of sauces (house, sweet molasses, pork, very hot & sweet, Alabama White/horseradish) but I only tried a few. The beef brisket was on point. It wasn’t overly shredded but the pieces weren’t in big chunks either; it was just the right size for eating and enjoying. The pulled pork was a little dry but it was more enjoyable when paired with a sauce. You really can’t go wrong with green bean casseroles, which I did enjoy, and the mac n’ cheese looked baked, which I didn’t mind but it was a little dry. The ribs were alright; I can honestly say that my friend makes better ribs but maybe it’s a personal preference kind of thing because I like my ribs to be able to fall off the bone. The very hot & sweet was the only sauce I tried but I really liked it. I couldn’t taste anything sweet but there was a tartness to it, and the spice gradually built up as you continued to eat it. I definitely recommend it to all you spicy-lovers out there. My coworkers enjoyed Saucehouse; they like it better than Fox Bros in Atlanta. I liked the beef brisket the best out of everything we ordered. Would I recommend Saucehouse? I don’t know, but I would recommend trying it out despite my review because who knows? Maybe you’ll like it better than I did.

Tonya’s Pub – Menu with Prices – 5403 Wilbanks Dr, Hixson

Very nice inside. You wouldn’t think so from looking at the outside. Down home atmosphere with very nice employees. Certain nights there is free food. The first time I was there they had barbecue pork ribs with baked beans and cream corn. It was very tasty!
