I love BBQ like a mosquito loves suckin blood. And while we may toss a coin as to the BBQ Capital of the world, Lockhart or Luling...just like Ole Waylon sung: "
North Main BBQ is the old Green Truck Repair garage. He started doing BBQ on the side and then attending shows. His wins on the BBQ circuit are impressive, Ribs, Brisket, you name it. Mr Green is a world Champ BBQ pit master by any measure. I have been eating there since they opened in the 80's IIRC and just ate there again yesterday when I was in Dallas on business.
Mr Green has done something very few BBQ joints can do: It tastes the same yesterday as the first time I every ate there. And I assure it its the truly the Gold standard by which I measure all BBQ.
Its simple: Pork Ribs, brisket, chicken, sausage and pork. Potato salad (mustard), cole slaw, pinto beans and condiments, onions, jalapeño etc. Includes Soda drinks, sweet/unsweet tea in a serve yourself buffet line.
Eat ALL you want, $15 cash. So its also the best deal in BBQ ANYWHERE!
I have eaten the circuit in Nashville, Memphis, Kansas City, the Carolina's and from Maine to Hawaii, Florida to Alaska and a bunch of countries outside the US. While I don't live in Dallas area and get there from time to time and it has never failed or wavered and old man Green still sits in his big chair at the end fo the counter.
Recent observations: County Line went from GREAT Q to just another chain trying to cash in on its old reputation. The folks that started it are long gone and its now owned by some big corp. Took my wife there after raving about it and I was EMBARRASSED. Been back 2x times and its average at best.
Rudy's: Still hangin in there in spite of more and more locations opening up, but like most Q joints its pricey but they do offer a military discount
la Barbecue, Austin Tex: WOW, just WOW, some of the very best ever. Only been twice and it was a repeat performance of greatness. Is it for real? Time will tell its, new on the scene. 1502 S 1st St, Austin, TX, 78704 Just some kids working out of a trailer but the brisket and ribs are world class. Dine outside, there is no inside, but its Q like Q should be!
City Market: Some slippage, just like Blacks and all the others in the L & L cities. But I never miss a chance to eat there and often will just drive over from SA to get some Q. The problem is just too much and too many tourists are going and its slipping as a result. Can you say PRICEY!
I 35 from SA to Dallas: Good Grief, how many BBQ joints can there be? 25 or more. Did not have time to stop on the way up to Big D will have to report later on this. Anyone hit anything that is a fav and I should stop at?
Anyone got a world class Q joint they want to recommend? I am open!
It don't matter who's in Austin, Bob Wills is still the king"
