In my opinion a few of the best bbq restaurants in the state were left outside the Top 50….. But that shows just how great Texas bbq really is!
A few of my favorites left off the list were Hutchin’s, Hurtado’s and Tender Smokehouse in Celina.
The next time you’re in the DFW area you should seriously consider driving to Pilot Point to Yearby’s, they made the top 50! I’ve eaten there a few times now. Pilot Point is about 1 hour north of Dallas.

So you made a comment I want to address…. I don’t read Texas monthly and could care less. Tell me your top five to visit when I make the trip. It could be top 10. I have followed you long enough that I know I would enjoy the trip.

No disrespect but maybe they need to change the magazine name to top fusion BBQ. It feels like they're going away from what traditional bbq is.

I guess I have a road trip to Seguin in my future. Grats Burnt Beans! Good thing you didn’t have to learn how the locals pronounce Refugio Tx.

It's a shame that 95% of the so-called Top 50 BBQ places alll charge over THIRTY DOLLARS a pound for brisket which is outrageous. This "craft" style BBQ is simply over the budget of most working folks. And most retired folks would MUCH rather cook themselves and their family some nice thick RIBEYE STEAKS on the grill at home for FAR less money…..Brisket has never been or ever will be in the same class of beef as a ribeye steak or rib roast.

Jesus Christ, you guys did a lot of driving for that. Next time I suggest you stage yourselves in Waco

Al,
Fun video! It is definitely a solid list. I was expecting LeRoy & Lewis to be very high after opening the brick and mortar. My surprise was for the first time not seeing Franklin’s and Snow’s in the top 10. This is rather sad for Texas tradition. I understand that this list is based on food quality only. Robert Moss’ Southern Livjng list considers overall experience. Also, Terry Black’s, Fege’s, Blood Brothers, Zavala’s, and Micklethwait (after opening a real place) fell to honorable mention. Barbs and Bar-A were clearly internet favorites, but were denied the top 10.
I just heard Daniel Vaughn interviewed. He pointed out how many of the people who trained and worked with Jirby/Goldee’s are now on the list. Jirby did predict years ago that the next list would be dominated by Goldee’s products!
Keep up the great work!👍
