1. Spicy Mike's BBQ Haven

If a long weekend visit to Amarillo is in your plans, then you'll want to make a pit stop at Spicy Mike's BBQ Haven. Located on the south side of the city, this little joint is well worth the drive. Well-known for their ribs and spicy sauces, Spicy Mike's is a local tourist favorite. But, because of their popularity, they've been known to run out of food from time to time. So, make sure you get there early!

2. Luling City Market

Luling City Market is family-owned-and-operated, smoking meats seven days a week. All of their recipes are fan favorites, and they're well-known for their 100% beef sausage. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Just make sure you don't leave without trying their famous Luling City Market BBQ Sauce.

3.  Franklin Barbecue

Have you ever heard of a barbecue place being worthy of Twitter fame? Well, that's just what you can expect with Franklin Barbecue in Austin. The line to get in is often so long that people take to Twitter to keep up and track their progress to the door. People start lining up at 7 a.m., bringing their lawn chairs, yard games, and coolers to pass the time until 11 a.m. So if you're an early bird and ready for a different experience, then snag your place in line!
