I started this thread because I just ate at Heim BBQ in Fort Worth, Texas. It was probably top 3 for me.
I got a combo plate with Brisket, jalapeño sausage, potato salad and baked beans.
Aggies I am here all week so feel free to shoot me any suggestions for any BBQ in Dallas, Houston, or Austin.
So here it goes, what state has the best BBQ?
ETA: why is this always the most controversial Offseason topic

I agree with you, Texas is the most consistently good BBQ state.

Yeah, thats a good way to put it.
You can find good BBQ almost anywhere in the South, but it's everywhere in Texas.

I make my own and it's the best since I make it the way I want it.
As for other places, it's kind of hard to frick up BBQ. But you can tell you if they know what they are doing or not based on the smell outside. A good place will get you turning your head looking for it even if you don't know it's there.

Red State BBQ in Georgetown, Kentucky
Brisket, corn pudding, mashed potatoes, it's fantastic

This. I've had great BBQ in all the Southern states I've been to but the two that seem the most consistent is Texas and Tennessee

Texas is #1. Tenn comes in second, (tied with NC, but the state doesn't count).
Other than that, every state has its spots. Florida is worst, but BBQ isn't really their thing.

Rodney Scott, winner of the James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Southeast opened a BBQ restaurant in Birmingham so he could compete with the best BBQ in the world and get out of the stagnant creative hellhole of South Carolina

Texas, Memphis is close as a City though.

Texas brisket is fantastic. When it’s good. But I don’t feel there are a helluva lot of places outside Texas that do it very well and if it’s bad it’s roast beef. I’ve had it bad in Texas a few times too but when it’s good it’s real good. Brisket outside Texas is like ordering a Pepsi in Munich to me.
Chopped pork is what I want in most of the south. There are roadside spots in Georgia (Fresh Air, Hudson’s, Wallace’s, Clinton’s) that do it as well as anywhere else and Fox Bros and Community Que are really good too. McClard’s is great. I like the original Golden Rule in Birmingham.
Ribs and chicken - Whitt’s and Bob Gibson’s. I like Old Greenbriar too. I’m going to go against the grain here though and say my favorite might be South Carolina chopped whole hog, with mustard sauce, hash over rice, and fried skins. BBQ is a regional thing and should be enjoyed as such. I always get an equal combination of pissed and amused at somebody’s Yelp review of the brisket in a Tennessee or Alabama BBQ place.

Somewhere near Aggie. Doesn’t Missouri have great bbq ?

It’s been a couple of years since I have been, but Franklin BBQ is the best food I have ever eaten. Not just the best BBQ.
Cattleack BBQ in Dallas is damn good and it is my regular place. Only open Thursday, Friday. Also open the first Sat of the month.

I'm biased but I'll say Memphis.
I know KC owes Memphis for their BBQ influence. It was Perry leaving Memphis in the 1900s and opening a restaurant in KC that lead to the BBQ boom in the city.
Also If you go to the etymology of the word Barde a' que you might see a few different opinions. None of which resort to being a cow.
I have for years believed that the French expression came from Haiti "barbe a' que" lit. from the beard to the tail. In other words, "whole hog." I guess it could also mean goat giving the Hispanolia origins. It seems the French origin is a bit closer than the Spanish word
