Best bbq is in Lockhart IMHO - Kreuz's Market, Smitty's, Black's
The Salt Lick in Driftwood is really good.
In Austin - Mann's, Stubb's, Ruby's (down in the UT area, not to be confused with Rudy's) and County Line are some of the better places I have tried.
Pok-E-jo's, Green Mesquite and Rudy's are pretty good to.

Also:
- I'd put Smitty's (downtown Lockhart) a whisker ahead of Kreuz's...but both are great.
- Rudy's is barely edible except for the "moist".
- Mann's has great Texas bbq (beef) AND NC/Memphis BBQ as well (pork, stew & sides)....& great sides. (& i'm guessing is not far from that asian spa

).
- Meyers & Southside (in Elgin) for great links & good brisket. (& the chopped beef at Southside is as good as i've had)
- There's a Cooper's in New Braunfels that's as good as & will save you a trip to Llano. (But Granzin's in NB is better than Cooper's & all but a couple mentioned above....& also has great chopped beef).
- Luling City Market belongs in any conversation with the Lockhart legends.
- Someone brought me some Q from a place out in Lago Vista that brought tears to my eyes....anybody know about this place?
- I've heard good things about Franklins.....need to try it.
- Anybody try the place in Lexington? Is it worth the drive & the hype?
Durango <----thinking about a 1.6 appetizer at that Asian place & then lunch at Mann's.
