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 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
