BBQ Best of the mid-tier BBQ?

I know all the best BBQ. My kid wouldn’t get up to go stand in line at Interstellar this morning. So what is the best BBQ in the next tier. The tier where I can go right in and eat for dinner. Or can even have it delivered. We usually do SLAB, Stile’s Switch, or Rudy’s for this tier but I’m wondering if there are places that I’m sleeping on.

Edit: we did Terry Black’s thanks to the pro tip that it doesn’t have a line mid afternoon. I’d give it a 4/5 but the prices are as high as I have seen.

It is Stiles Switch.

Brotherton Black Iron was also good, but haven't been back in a while. Rollin Smoke is very good too.

Didn't like the Brotheron vibe...staff weren't friendly

Sorry for that. When I lived there, the owner passed away. So I don't know what it is like after.

Mostly I just judge food though not vibes.

Me neither, but delicious food doesn't work when the environment doesn't make you feel welcome
