We got a REAL Q Joint in Plano

Post by bill clinton
http://www.dubssmokehouse.com/
Granted I've only been once, but Tim the owner was friendly and let us
sample a little bit of everything.
Great bark, good turkey, and pulled pork.
Served Central Tx style, on paper with white bread
Get out and support this place, cuz God knows there ain't much in the way
of GOOD Q in Dallas these days, let alone in Plano
I'd rank it up close to Pecan lodge without the 1 hour wait.
I'm particular about my pulled pork and would have to say his is pretty
damn good.
The sausage was good, he has shipped in from Taylor Tx

That is good news -- Taylor and that area, especially Elgin, are known for
excellent sausage.
Too bad it's up in southern Oklahoma. We could use a really top notch BBQ
place in the White Rock area, or even a Sonny's.

Baker's Ribs or Peggy Sues are out of business? I was never a big Sonny's
fan but they're a step up from Dickey's.

Baker's went under? They just moved to bigger quarters recently up the road,
so if they died then that was a meteoric fall. They started doing a lot of
pie business, so they needed a bigger space to service that biz, from the
DMN article I read.

Sorry, I meant to convey that both those places have pretty good BBQ
(ribs, really) and aren't all that far from White Rock. I really meant it
more sarcastically than as a piece of news. Sorry to scare you.

The other reason I wrote it that way was to see if anyone thought their
quality had declined. Both those places have great ribs, they're just not
easy to compare as they are done differently. I never order anything but
the baby backs at Peggy Sues and the same thing applies to the ribs at
Bakers. I hadn't been to Bakers in over a year though. Since Baker's has
a new place I will have to check them out.

Ah, well that may be part of the disconnect in preferences -- I don't care
for ribs, instead preferring what used to be known as the "postman's"
special -- sliced beef and sausage. And I love Sonny's private blend of
sausage.

Sonny's sausage isn't bad, I'm not in love with the brisket though. The
problem to me is the sauce isn't quite right for sausage. Soulman's used
to have a perfect sauce for their sausage. The two that were closest to
me are no more, so I've not been by in a while to check them out.

I'm talking about REAL BBQ and you guys are talking about
Soulmans, Sonny's and Peggy Sues?
Everyone of those suck, sorry, Sonnys ain't been Sonnys
since he died. Soulmans grinds the brisket for chopped beef,
the sauce tastes like it came out of a bottle.
Peggy Sues, I've eaten at once and wasn't impressed. All of
the above I'd put on the scale with Dickeys. Bakers Ribs I
haven't tried, so i can't comment on them.
But seriously, when it comes to Q, the pickins are pretty
slim in Big D, Pecan Lodge is the very best, Lockhart
Smokehouse sucked, Off The Bone sucked, Sammys...ehh,
Macs..ehh, Red hot and blue, keep it. Mike Andersons was
good last time I went(about 2 yrs ago).
Meshacks<sp> in Garland is suppose to be good, but haven't
made it there yet. Hard Eight in Coppell is good and I'd put
it at #3 below Pecan Lodge and Dubs
YMMV

I spoke to the sauce at Soulmans going good with the sausage.

Haven't been to Soulmans by Centerville rd. in a few years. When they
were at Spring Valley and 75 or at I-35 by Sandy Lake the sausage and
sauce was good there too. That's a few years back. If the quality went
down since then it wouldn't surprise me. The stores keep moving further
east every time I check.

Have you tried the baby backs at Peggy Sues? I thought they were the best
I've ever tasted. The first few times I didn't notice the BBQ sauce on
the side.

Different than the baby backs at PS's so there's no way of comparing but
they are both good.

I only have the ribs at Peggy Sues or Bakers. I haven't been down to
Andersons in a while but I liked them a lot, a lot better than Sonny's
around the corner in fact. I've been to the Hard 8 and liked the brisket
but not the ribs. I can't say I have tried Lockharts but will the next
chance I get.

I liked this place a lot: http://www.datsgoodque.com/ (the bread pudding
kicks ass!)

The best overall[1] BBQ I tried in Texas (only once 10 years ago) was a
tiny joint in a KoA (Campgrounds of America) just west of Abilene on I-
20. I grabbed a combo platter and they had the best slaw west of NYC or
Philly. Even waking up in a hotel room full[2] of dead and dying june
bugs couldn't ruin that meal. (Got stranded during a coming tornado and
the bottom of the door missed the threshold by at least an inch. The poor
maid...)

What passes for cole slaw in Texas is sad except for that place.

[1] Pork, turkey, brisket, ribs and sausage. Sorry, I didn't try the
chicken.
[2] Literally hundreds, live, half dead and dead. Freaked me out until I
saw the antennae.
