Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Terry blacks has an incredible beef rib as well as some other places.
  • Those look very similar to the dino-ribs at Terry Blacks. One of, if not thee, best BBQ restaurant in the States located in Texas.
  • Terry Blacks is Legit BBQ !!
  • The next day, I went to Terry Blacks at 12:45, walked right in line and had little to no wait for a table. It was 90-93% as good as Franklin’s, and the sides were better.
  • For context out here obviously everyone talks about Franklin's, interstellar, Terry blacks and sure theyre good

Cons

  • The big four (Black’s, Smitty’s, Kreuz, Terry Black’s) are touristy and can get a bit crowded on weekends.
  • Looks so much better than Terry Blacks. Went to the one in Austin and I was let down and left with empty pockets.
  • I had a friend recommend Terry blacks but anytime I brought them up with a local they said skip it lol. It sounds good and convient just nowhere near the same league cause they'll sell reheats and it's a turn and burn kinda spot.
  • They had items I had not see at the other 2 stops on our tour (Franklin in Austin and Terry Black's in Waco)
  • Terry Black’s is a tourist spot that I’d skip. That one is overrated IMO, but you’ll hear people that love it.

Think of names in the area like Kreutz Meat Market, Terry Blacks, Aaron Franklin.
