"Looking for good BBQ in TX? Try Clarks in Tioga (birthplace of Gene Autry). They're in Texas Monthly's top 10." Haven't been there myself, but my daughter and son-in-law gave the place an "A". And, from experience, the links at Black's in Lockhart rate "best of breed".
I got in on the end of this debate. Has anyone mentioned McMillan's in Fannin Texas (between Victoria and Goliad)?
Mac's brisket, ribs and sausage are hard to beat.
