The oft-mentioned Franklin Barbecue sits at #56 on their list, but there are a few other BBQ joints ranked higher. Including a place called Copper Top BBQ in Big Pine, CA which ranks atop the list at #1.
I've been to 3 places on their list (Porto's, Mama D's, Los Agaves) and I can attest they're consistently good choices, but none of the BBQ restaurants. Anyone else?
Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas changed their name to Joe's Kansas City BBQ (Number 25) is great, their Slaughterhouse 5 ribs are the best I've had, which isn't saying a whole lot other than they are my favorite in KC and beat anything in Memphis.
Oh and I've had all of the Hawaiian places except the Maui one, the poke shack is definitely different.

I've found Yelp to be somewhat questionable, but the spots look interesting. I usually defer to chefsfeed.com. But my cousin (Nick) is the chef/owner of number 75.
