There’s nothing like digging into a delicious plate full of barbecued meat and all the fixings: macaroni and cheese, bread, and sauce. If there’s one thing we get right in Texas it’s barbecue. Each part of our huge state has it’s own type of BBQ. In this blog post we’re really just looking at some of the most popular BBQ restaurants in Texas. So what are you waiting for? Grab your bib and wet naps and get ready to dig in to a whole lot of meaty deliciousness.
The Original Willie’s Bar-B-Que
Located in Alamo, Texas, The Original Willie’s Bar-B-Que is a true Texas BBQ pit. It’s a favorite among locals and tourists alike and offers smokey brisket, sausage, and a loaded baked potato that will make your mouth water. This down home joint has friendly staff and is a Texas experience you won’t want to miss out on.
Miller’s Smokehouse is a treasure trove of insanely delicious food that can be found in Belton, Texas. Inside of the simple storefront you’ll find homemade beef jerky, fresh cut meats, homemade sausages, and of course incredible BBQ. You can choose from a variety of options like meat by the pound (you’ll want to try the brisket and pulled pork), sandwiches (we dare you to resist Robert’s Chopped Chicken and Sausage with Slaw), and of course dessert.
Cranky Frank’s Barbecue Company
Cranky Frank’s is located in Fredericksburg, Texas, a charming city influenced by German Settlers. Around each corner you’ll notice homage to the city’s German ancestry. It offers a unique atmosphere that includes picnic tables under covered seating, fans to circulate air, and good old hometown service!
