When you’re talking about the best BBQ cities in America, that is a difficult question, but you know Texas will be included in that conversation. The most difficult part is that everyone is going to want something a little different. And there are different parts of the country that put a lot of pride into the BBQ they create. But we all know that Texas is the best, period. 

Recently, LawnStarter came out with their new list in 2024 for the Best BBQ Cities in America so obviously, I wanted to know which Texas cities were at the top of their list. While I am not satisfied by announcing that Texas was not at the top of the list we did have one Texas city that made the top 3. 

Multiple Stats Created the List of Best BBQ Cities 

When coming up with this list there were a few different statistics that came into play including access to BBQ, customer satisfaction rank, competition awards rank, and others.

Don’t Make a Mistake, Try All the BBQ 

There was a time that I only ordered ribs or brisket at a BBQ restaurant, now I want to try everything. I cannot believe how many times I missed out on amazing chicken or turkey because I always went back to my favorites, but trust me, just try a little bit of everything.
