Gates is consistently good.
Joes and Jack Stack are also great. Some things that stick out at Jack Stack include: Lamb Ribs, Crown Ribs (one beef rib will fill you up!), and of course, Cheesy Corn Bake!

Agree, The best location for Bryan's is on Brooklyn; the location isn't as bad as everyone says it is. But then I usually go armed.
Really, it is kinda set apart from any trouble - unless you just hate to go into a black neighborhood. I have never had a problem at Bryan's.
Jack Stack's Lamb Ribs are the best, and Lamb Ribs are hard to find. I, for one, would not call the Lamb Ribs or Crown Ribs BBQ: don't get me wrong, I like them. They are just different from the slow cooked, cheap cut of meat, Brisket BBQ.
OK, a whole new discussion. Can chicken be BBQ? Can you call any cooking method you want BBQ. Kinda like the time I was at Penn State and I saw a menu with "Southern Fried Chicken" and the brought me Deep Fried Chicken. Turned out they thought that they were the same. OK, Is Pan Fried Chicken the same as Southern Fried Chicken?
My opinion only: I think that the term BBQ should be reserved for slow cooking meat for hours at a low temperature so that the meat is super tender and just falls off of the bone. Most commercial food places do not want to take the time and patience to properly do true BBQ. They want to cook it fast, slap some spice on it and make the most profit. It might be kinda good, but it is not BBQ.
BBQ is easy to cut or chew and not not tough. When Q39 BBQ serves meat that I have to cut with a knife, it is not BBQ even if they slap some BBQ sauce on it and charge $25 for the meal.
I have been to Q39 just one time: Bad food, and I saw the waitress chewing out the lady cleaning up the tables (Busboy does not have gender. In English nouns do not have gender - try French and German. In German, a mountain is male and is modified by the male form of the English "the". Thus, in German, it is "Das Berg" and never Die Berg". All of that got changed for the English in 1066).
She did not deserve that type of treatment: not then, not ever.
We all vote on where we eat with our feet - we can walk away. Of the seven people that I took to Q39 for lunch, all of them expressed the same thought: they will never visit that hell hole again.
