Home to Franklin Barbecue, Stillwater Barbeque, Freedman's, and La Barbecue, Texas is a smoked meat paradise. Even still, City Market is about as iconic a Texas barbecue joint as you can get. It's been around since 1958, and you can walk in the smoke room to get a peek yourself at what's coming to the menu. Brisket is the big draw, of course, but ribs and hot links are not to be missed. It's all served on butcher paper with sliced white bread, pickles, onions and crackers if you want them.
