    See! I told y'all! Although I'm shocked that in Texas nothing comes close???

    Agree though about Charles and Aaron. They are the kind of people you hope to have tons of success.

    i live on the border but have tried some places in san antonio and austin. the only place that is close is the iron works in austin, but i have yet to try the salt lick which is widely regarded as the best in texas. i guess in the end i'm just partial to the bibbens boys.

    i'll have to try smitty's next time i'm driving up to austin. living in laredo we get a weird mixture of bbq and mexican combos at the local joints. if you're down here and looking for a chain Rudy's is tough to beat, think busters but better.

    There is a Rudy's country store and BBQ here in north Houston that I have been to. Is that the same thing? It was definately better than Busters, but not nearly as good as some others

    I certainly not a bbq aficionado, but I visited Famous Dave's in Tualatin....and it certainly tasted fine to me. Had the St. Louis ribs and brisket combo. The mac & cheese and cornbread was excellent, as well.

    Campbell's Ribs on SE Powell is always good. It's funny to see how much that place has grown. They've added on 3 times over the years.

    Campbell's is a solid choice for something if you are in the area for sure.


    Famous Dave's Tim.....Really? You don't deserve her

    LOL. OK, so I'm new to bbq....despite living in the ATL for 12 years.

    That said, as stated in the OP, we're heading to this place on Saturday. We shall see, we shall see....
