BBQ restaurants across our state have received their fair share of recognition from a variety of national publications.

Most recently, it was Full Moon Bar-B-Que that was listed among the most legendary BBQ restaurants in America by MSN. The digital outlet looked to highlight the top spots across the United States.

“From Alabama’s hickory-smoked ribs to California’s tri-tip and Hawaii’s ocean-view brisket, these barbecue destinations showcase regional flavors and traditions. The featured restaurants range from century-old family-run diners to nationally acclaimed newcomers, each known for signature meats and time-honored smoking techniques. Together, they highlight the diversity and enduring appeal of American barbecue culture.”
