Now that Cracker Barrel has ended their promotion, where can I get Texas-style beef brisket?

No eastern style, lexington style, etc. Please help a man who wants to control the cow population (over 950 million living in the US and growing!)

I've never had good brisket in Raleigh, mostly because I've only ever ordered it like twice--I can never resist the pork.

8/10/2011 7:11:42 PM

red hot and blue has it. it's ok i guess.

i think dickey's bbq might have it, but i've never tried that place.

[Edited on August 10, 2011 at 7:13 PM. Reason : but hell if you liked it at cracker barrel either one will be fine for you i'd imagine]

i think Q shack might have it ... never had it though

^beat me to it. <3 smokey's

8/10/2011 7:27:43 PM

Dickey's right in the Cary Crossroads area is by far the best in the area!

8/10/2011 7:32:56 PM

Dannys BBQ has pretty good brisket IMO

8/10/2011 7:34:34 PM

I also can vouch for Smokey's.

I dunno how close that is though...you should be able to get beef brisket all over.

8/10/2011 7:34:35 PM

^^^ Dickey's is pretty tight.

8/10/2011 7:45:20 PM

8/10/2011 7:46:38 PM

That joint bbq on Hillsborough across from the library way back in 2001 or so had a decent one. Shit was kinda pricey though.

8/10/2011 8:22:47 PM

that, too, was Q Shack

8/10/2011 8:23:31 PM

The Pit has decent brisket

8/10/2011 8:27:20 PM

I've always wondered about this place. It's always closed when I drive by.

No it wasn't.

It was called Texas BBQ or some shit like that.

Edit:

Dickey's on Davie St is decent for around here. Never been very impressed with Q Shack or Red, Hot, and Blah. There used to be a place 10 years or so ago above Starbucks on Hillsborough St. (the cursed restaurant location) that was very good. I think it was called Blue Moon.

8/11/2011 6:51:15 AM

blinkos on glenwood is very good but very hit or miss
dickeys in cary
and whatever the place on tryon is called that's in the shiny diner building, although they're catering only now

8/11/2011 8:59:13 AM

I've had theirs a few times and its good, but I can never get them to NOT slather it in damn barbeque sauce no matter how many times I ask!

There was a Q-shack across from the library (across Horne St from the Starbucks)...but that wasn't 2001, more like 05-06. Where was that Texas BBQ place in 2001?

Mmmm....definitely Danny's.

You can get a good look at a Tbone steak by sticking your head up a cow's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

8/11/2011 9:17:05 AM

Thanks Chris Farley via Tommy Boy

You coulda at least replaced t-bone with brisket
