Not sure about chain places .
I really don't go out for BBQ .
We have Pappy's that people rave about , and the line forms early . I've never had it , but have bought the sauce at the store . Didn't care for the sauce at all .
There's a place called Eythel's Smokehouse . Gets a lot of attention . Ate there once . The brisket came out chopped and sauced .
I thought to myself " this is gonna suck " and It did .
Never ate there again .
Sugarfire BBQ is local , but I think they might be trying to branch out . I think they sell the sauce online . The sauces I really like . I know they have 3 stores in town now .
I have had it at parties . The brisket is good . PP ,, I didn't care for .
The smoked turkey was out of this world good .
It's hard to judge them against things we do , because of the volume they do and the time frame it's done in .
