I apologize for interjecting an OT response/question, but I went to Texas several years ago to fish Lake Fork. (Had a great time). However, I was disappointed that no where near the town of Quitman nor Lake Fork was a steak house or BBQ joint. I was totally perplexed at finding myself in beef country absent any means of exploring the possiblities of either a Texas steak or BBQ. A local referred me to a pizza restaurant on the far shore- which indeed did serve a fine steak. But, BBQ was not to be found. I stayed for the fishing, but will not make the 12hr and 45min drive again without first knowing exactly where I can find a good steak and Texas BBQ. Anybody knowing the area of Lake Fork that wishes to be so kind as to identify where such might be found, please feel free to email me off group, just be sure to get "the heck" out of my address before doing so. Thanks.


In that area there are some great bbq "joints" But that's just it, they are joints. Some of the best barbecue in that area will be sold directly from the smoker, in front of the owner's gas station.

You might also find great Q in some of the joints "over the tracks". Texas is still very segregated in some areas (by choice, not law) and Casper could get into some trouble in these places.

(Unless you played HS football with the owner, or his son.)

In Texas, football superceeds everything, and you could wear a Klan Robe in there in complete safety, as long as you helped the team win State sometime in the last century.

For Q in a better environment, head East towards Tyler, and Longview, or southwest to the Hill Country. (Llano, Burnet, Fredricksburg, etc)
