Come on now. Pappy's is good. The Ribs are very good. I think the difference is there are many places in Texas with very good BBQ. But from A Texas boy, St. Louis has quite a bit of good bbq also. Pappy's, Sugerfire, Bogarts ribs would all rank very high anywhere. No one here really does brisket though like Texas, not even Bogarts.

almaman Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 i think Adam's Smokehouse, a Pappy's step kid if you will is every bit as good and way less hassle. gotta love having one of the most praised bbq spot on the planet basically on campus though.

J & A's may have the only frozen mozzarella sticks in the nation (unless its a SL thing). I can't even fathom that. Is J & A's still on Newstead?

I have had inconsistent brisket at Sugarfire, but sometimes their brisket can be real choice. If brisket and Texas-style bbq is your thing, give Salt and Smoke in the Loop a try. Not my favorite personally, but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a huge fan of the smoked salami at Adam's and like the people there (which could be said for all of those places; Pappy's, Bogart's, and Adam's). The ribs and smoked chicken wings (I think only available on the weekends) at Bogart's are top notch. St. Louis has some great bbq. For the Texas guys on here, what are the can't miss places in Austin? My wife and I will be there in the fall and I want to make sure to get my fill of Texas bbq. We are already planning on making the trip to the Salt Lick since we did a few years ago and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if we discuss which bourbon pairs best with which bbq. For Bonwich and the chosen one, my favorite in Austin is La Barbecue as good as Franklin but better sides and shorter line. They will run out so get there early. Franklin is really good and they outlawed paying some one to wait in line for you but it still happens.You can just tail gate while you wait supposedly the line is responsible for 3 marriages. You gotta get there about 6 AM. So I recommend La BBQ. Salt Lick is picturesque and good but it's a drive. Can't wait, can't drive other places out of BBQ? Well get to Terry Black's on Barton Springs Rd. It's good and has the pedigree of Lockhart BBQ. BBQ is great but get breakfast tacos, Tex Mex, Mexican margaritas, and some other great food in town too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I have worked in most of the states of our country and have ate a lot of BBQ and I think Pappy's is my favorite of all. The ribs and the brisket are my favorites. I work across the street from Sugar fire and have walked over for a few lunches and been served it for lunch meetings. My friend that builds cooking equipment for Pappy's told me that they own Bogart's so it might be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun coincidence: The St. Louis Terry Black is the co-founder of Super Smokers, probably the first place to bring real bbq to STL. He's also one of the scorekeepers at home games.

Zink Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just to add my two cents here, A_Bomb is dead on with La BBQ. Best brisket I've ever had, hands down. Was able to get some Franklin from a friend who picked a bunch up before the rest of our group got into town (he waited 3+ hours), and I preferred La BBQ. But the Franklin had been sitting out a while, so there's that caveat. Pappy's pulled pork is my favorite, and I prefer the ribs at Bogart's. As others have said, Adam's has great sausages and I really enjoy the other more experimental things they try on a day-to-day basis. A friend of mine used to cook there and they always had something fun to try out. He's actually opening up (has opened?) a place called The Stellar Hog. If I were in town still, I'd have checked it out, but it's at least worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Don't forget Dalie's in Valley Park, the newest of Pappy's cousins. (Who also now include Notorious P.I.G. in Missoula.) As for your friend's place, here's the most recent update: The Stellar Hog (former Super’s Bungalow space), 5623 Leona, late June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
