I'll be heading in that direction today, I might have to hit up Kreuz or Smitty's just to give my opinion...

Went to blacks today and had brisket, pork ribs, baby back ribs and jalapeno sausage. It all was way too fatty, and i wouldnt pay for anything but the sausage if i trusted it would stay that way. I was massively underwhelmed as was the wife. franklins, salt lick, rudys, hutchins and hard 8s all blow blacks out of the water (except the sausage). But knowing bbq...ive gotta go at least twice to confirm the quality.Comment

What time of day did you go? I wont judge a place if I'm not there early. I typically choose something other than BBQ if it's after 12:30-1, and the only time I'll eat BBQ for dinner is if I made it myself.Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View Post
As for too fatty... Fat makes good BBQ. I've never personally experienced a rib that was too fatty. Didn't even think it was possible. And the same goes for pork butt and brisket. On the brisket, did your portion come from the flat, point, or deckle? Are you aware that you can ask specifically when you order? If you want something lean, tell them that when they're slicing it up and they will accommodate you. You may have, I don't know. Just throwing that out there as a suggestion in case you didn't know.Originally posted by BradMOriginally posted by LeahComment

Probably 1145 or 12. I typically order lean but didnt bother this time. It was the point but almost all fat cap.Originally posted by bcoop View Post
These ribs were weird. The few pieces of solid meat were good enough...just got bad sectiions on both the baby back and pork.
Ill for sure go back to try again because with such a reputation it must have just been an off plateComment

Give Blacks a second chance when you roll back through. I'm somewhat of a bbq nerd, I compete nearly every weekend and try to frequent all the legendary Texas bbq joints, Blacks is consistently some of the best Texas has to offer. Their beef ribs are easily the best in Texas, spare ribs rank in the top three I've eaten, sausage is pretty good as well. I must say Kruez is the best in the area for sausage, but not by much. Give Blacks another shot when you roll back throug ask for some flat as well as some point meat. You should never leave there disappointed.Comment

I've only been to Black's twice but it was pretty damn good both times. I actually use their rub for my beef ribs and brisket and I like it as well. Not sure why you had issues there but I'd give it another try.Comment

I have not been to Franklins, Kreuz or Smittys but Blacks did not disappoint, their Brisket, Jap/Cheddar sausage was off the chain as were the sides.Originally posted by Jose View PostOriginally posted by SilverbackComment

Went to Black's last weekend. It was phenomenal, as it has consistently been for me.
I always ask for a lean cut of brisket though. I've paid way too much money for brisket that was just fat, rub, and smoke...When the government pays, the government controls.Comment

What's funny is for some it's the best part. I like 1/4 fat, 3/4 of good cut meat.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostOriginally posted by MR EDDComment

During my Hill Country travels this weekend I stopped at 2 BBQ places. First was Cranky Franks in Fredericksburg, I had brisket, sausage and a rib. Brisket and sausage were very good, ribs not so much, beans were good, pecan pie was good and claimed to be homemade, but looked store bought. Monday I stopped at The Spread in Brady had Brisket, jalapeno sausage, quail popper, twice baked potato, beans and blackberry cobbler. Brisket was dry, everything else was very good.Comment
