Where is the best bbq in sowal/destin area?

Is there a thread somewhere or a "best of" - for restaurants, etc?

Thank you!

It is really hard to beat 98 Bar-B-Que on Hwy 98 for service, price and barbeque. It is West of the strip mall containing the Post Office and is also in a strip mall on the North side of Hwy98. For other places which are really good, scroll down the Dining & Food forum. There is one thread of recommendations, mostly posted by locals.

Jambone is great! :wub:

The BBQ place in Seaside (in the airstream) is also supposed to be quite good, but haven't tested it personally.

If you like Brisket, it is great at 98 Barbecue! Their sauce is great too. I get two sides of the fried corn thingies with my order. Yummy! But yes, the airstream in Seaside does smell good. Haven't tasted it yet though. It's mostly P and J for me.

I haven't tried Barefoot's yet, but Cocoon's has always been a winner for BBQ and lots of other goodies.

I like 98BBQ for a close option. They have a great sauce, staff and taste. But, my favorite in the area, other than my own, is Pig's Alley just east of the outlets on the north side of 98. Real pit bbq, a great sauce and not poorly priced.

Love Murphy's Q.

Fatt Matt's, Daddyz and there's a hole in the wall on the way to Aiken from Augusta - I forgot the name of it, but it's a trailer and they smoke 'em out back!

For the best pork BBQ and smoked jumbo wings - JamBone hands down is the best in town. No one else comes close. Others to sample: 98BBQ, Pig's Alley, Cocoons in that order. I know I'm in the minority but there wasn't BBQ love when I tried Barefoot BBQ. And they are, I shouldn't be surprised when small cupcakes are going for almost $4 a pop next door, expensive...$3 for a 1.5oz bag of chips...come on.

OMG we had Barefoot BBQ in Seaside for lunch yesterday. BTW I am not a BBQ fan even though I am a Southerner (sorry, Daddy). That being said, the pulled pork was the best piece of meat I've put in my mouth since the lamb at Gorria in Barcelona. And you can actually eat healthily there. Order the awesome chicken with coleslaw (not full of mayo -- that's what I'm talkin ' about!). Great job, Murph.:clap:

The BBQ is remarkably good in this area. I am a fan of Jambone, Barefoot BBQ, 98 BBQ and Pig's Alley. I haven't tried any of the others mentioned above...
