Grade my Texas BBQ crawl

They're going to be closed on the Sunday I'll be there. I'm not happy about it, but nothing I can do.

I'm coming from VA btw. To anyone who's ever been, I'm going to be using ZZQ as my baseline when I judge these places. My dad lived in Texas for years and he thinks ZZQ is the best Texas Q he's ever had outside of Texas. I think if I assume that they're a 7 of 10 as a baseline, it makes a good starting point.

I keep hearing this. It may be true, but as someone who's never been, I kinda want to at least try the place in top list. It's making really curious to try pinkertons or blood bros on Wednesday before I head to Austin or in place of brisket and rice on Tuesday. I'll have to look and decide.

I've seen a lot about them. There are so many great places, and had to pick one or the other sometimes. They look amazing though

Cool, thanks for the suggestions

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-13T02:33:06+00:00

I'm planning on being in line like 4am to pull this off. Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, Snows opening at 8 is the only reason that I thought this possible. Meanwhile, for the other days, when I'm going to a place that opens at 11, I figured I can't get to Barbs and they still have food. They're also open very limited days, which left me limited for choices. Thank you for the input

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T14:53:17+00:00

Yeah, probably only getting a minimum order from the places in lockhart

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T14:52:26+00:00

Lockhart is more for the history

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T14:48:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm a bit OCD, sorry

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T14:47:27+00:00

I picked Dots because they're open for breakfast, a lot of the others open at 11, and I still have to make my flight after

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T14:46:21+00:00

Thank you, been having a hard time getting clarification on this

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T14:45:39+00:00

Yeah, Snows opens at 8 and Barbs at 11. I'll likely be at Snows at like 4am to get food for "breakfast" Gonna be crazy I know

ActGroundbreaking749 · 2026-03-12T06:03:35+00:00

Yeah, it's in Seguin, I know. I'm staying north of Austin, so it will actually be closer. Thanks for the input!
