I have a friend in Lexington. Spent a few days with him during the BBQ Festival a few years ago. Ate at every BBQ joint in town, including the above. I think I like pulled pork better than the Lexington style that is minced.

Like adsantos13, if I lived close to a BBQ place I'd be in trouble health-wise!

BamaDoc i am a fellow Alabamian, have you ever tried Green Top Bar-B-Que? Best Bar-B-Que in Alabama.

I eat at Leo and Susies' Green Top regularly (as late as yesterday). I also like Dreamland for ribs.

But for sandwiches or plates, I probably prefer (slightly) Top Hat in Blount Springs, AL, for regular pork. And the Dreamland in Ttown is truly wonderful and preferable to any other location since they franchised, but ribs from Archibalds are dadgum hard to beat. I like Memphis-style ribs but Dreamland and Archibalds got to my heart first.

I've had some pretty good beef BBQ at some ranch outside of El Paso about fifteen to twenty years ago and also nice stuff in Ft. Worth and San Antonio and Gruen, TX, but I just cannot get into BBQ beef the same way I get into pork.

Svillekid made some pretty darned good deer BBQ a while back, and I thought Smokescotch did a very nice job on the stuff he brought to that last herf.

TideRoll, I used to work there during the off season (college basketball). Great food!

I think Dreamlands SAUCE is the best in the world...but Archibalds is "fall of the bone" good. Spent many a dollar there, along with City Cafe.

If I want good bbq, I make my own. There are some good places out there, but according to my wife, her co-workers, and the neighbors, I do ok.

Last year, they started buying me X Lbs of boston butts for Chopped/Pulled Pork and ribs, with the deal that I had to cook it and could keep 1/2 of it. The rest was for whomever bought it. I stayed in bbq all Dummer..... LOL..... So I guess they liked it.

Boston butts for Chopped/Pulled Pork with my "secret rub & sauce" - 14 to 20 hours in the smoker
+
Ribs also with my "secret rub & sauce" - 8 to 14 hours in the smoker

Here in Rochester it would be the Dinosaur BBQ, hands-down. And my deck.

Here in Southern New Jersey there is a couple chain BBQ joints , Red Hot n Blue and Famous Daves , decent but not as good as my back yard . If anybody knows of anywhere in my close area I would appreciate it . I've also heard of a bbq place in Somers Point NJ , but can't remember the name of it .

I've never really gotten into Big Bob's to quite the same degree as Top Hat or Green Top. I've had it several times, and it is nicely done for sure, but the white BBQ sauce that is supposed to be their best just doesn't get me going like I suspect it does others. I know they've won top BBQ in Alabama several times, so they're certainly doing something right.

And Doc, I think we see pretty much see eye to eye on the ribs. The mention of City Cafe takes me back a few years, too. Those were truly good times.

I've had the white BBQ sauce and love it for its uniqueness , unlike any other sauce out there and great on chicken . It's a real nice change of pace . I do prefer my own homemade red bbq sauce regularly .
