Summer is right around the corner, the perfect season for cooking up all of your barbecue favorites, but sometimes you want someone else to do the heavy lifting. That's where any one of the incredible barbecue joints around the country comes in, dishing out flavorful dishes and BBQ classics you know and love so you don't have to.
Cheapism compiled a list of the "best hole-in-the-wall BBQ joints" across the U.S., the top barbecue hotspots that customers return to again and again to fill up on smoky favorites. Several of the restaurants featured on the list are found in BBQ havens like Texas, Missouri and other southern states, including one eatery in Ohio that made the cut: Uncle Beth's BBQ in North Lewisburg.
Here's what the site had to say about this must-try restaurant:
"The St. Louis-style ribs at Uncle Beth's are served wet; these chunks of meat are mopped with the restaurant's sweet barbecue sauce, though you can get a spicy sauce on request. Pulled pork, served either on a bun or on top of a baked potato with cheese, are the stars here. Brisket is available on Saturdays and goes well with the joint's spiced apples and jalapeño cornbread pudding on the side."
