Anything worth checking out in Amarillo? Will be travelling through in a couple of weeks and would love to check out something new.  

If you're going up through Lubbock, take a slight detour to Wolfforth and eat at Evie Mae's.

Need to try Brown's and Oseyo.  All of the others are legit.

I like Brown's better than several others on the list.  Definitely try it out.

 

I looked at the menu for Oseyo and only saw the Korean BBQ options which are typically grilled not slow-smoked.  Not sure if I just missed the actual BBQ?  Or is their inclusion as a BBQ place erroneous?

(Oseyo still looks good, I love Korean food, but not sure it's BBQ?)

I guess Micklethwait in Austin is much better than Smithville? Or did I just catch an off day?

never tried smithville.  in austin they can be as good as anyone when you catch them on the right day but they’re not as consistent as the tier one spots.

Went and grabbed lunch at the new Southside Market in Arbor Walk. Pretty decent. Just had a sliced brisket sandwich but it was nice and tender. Could’ve used some more rub but other than that, I was pleasantly surprised. Not top tier but solid 2nd tier. It was really busy for a weekday at almost 2. It’ll probably do well. From the build out, they’ve got some money behind it.

Southside in Arbor Walk had a douchey feel to it when I tried it a feww weeks back. My ol lady went up to order. Came back with sliced up sausage in small pieces. Said they asked and she said ok ( not knowing what the guy was asking/stupid shit women do thread).
Was very underwhelming.

I eat brisket at every bbq joint, and sausage, then I add on from there.

 

if it's a new place, I'm 100% trying the brisket and ribs. all return visits, im exploring the menu.

What's your ratio on tortillas?

The Pit Room - 100%. Their Chicken Tacos are heaven on earth. I don't even know if they have anything else on the menu

Always brisket when trying a Texas barbecue joint for the first time and usually their sausage and ribs. I also try whatever else they're known for. About the only time I don't order brisket is if I get a beef rib.

Leroy & Lewis today. Brisket, whole hog, and barbacoa, chicken & dumplings, refried beans, kale Caesar slaw, and cheddar cheesecake.

Everything was great. My favorite was the barbacoa and my daughter's was the pulled pork.

I suspect they will be in the Top 10 of the next TM Top 50.e5a556604908d6c6bbc75b94377e5c1d.jpg

they are pretty good but they put out a lot of exotic shit that distorts perceptions.  I’ve been several times and I enjoy it but the quality of the brisket should be the baseline and it isn’t top-10-in-the-state brisket.  in my opinion.

You're not wrong and that's a good point (pun intended) about the brisket.  The current Top 10 all have great brisket.  Leroy & Lewis has good brisket, but it is overshadowed by the beef cheeks and barbacoa.  Overall, I think Leroy & Lewis is better than Bodacious.  I think they're on par with Tejas and Micklethwait.

Granted I have only been to Micklethwait in Smithville once, but this is crazy. Tejas has never been less than amazing each time I have been (10-15 times). Bodacious was good, not great for me.

Leroy and Lewis’ brisket is on par with most of the heavy hitters in austin, if not the state

 

Id also argue they are the most underrated joint in the state. And I do agree that theyll be in the next top 10

nah.

My comment was a slight to neither Micklethwait nor Tejas.  To the contrary, they are quite possibly my two favorite barbecue joints in the state because their menu is great and inventive from the proteins through the sides.  My experience with Leroy & Lewis has been quite similar.

If you don't have brisket every day you're open you shouldn't be in the top 10 in Texas. We have to have some sort of standards.

Hell, snows only has brisket once a week and they are the two time winner of best bbq in the state
