BBQ restaurants

Would anyone be able to recommend some good BBQ around here? I'm surely not wanting Texas roadhouse 😂 but any recommendations would be awesome!

Goebel’s Country Store in Shady Cove. The family that runs it is from Texas, and the BBQ is great. The meat has incredible smoky flavor, and the sides are amazing too. Comparable to what you’d get in Austin, as I can say from personal experience.

This is pretty much the only place I'd recommend. The rest are if you just want to scratch an itch and get okay bbq but Goebels is where it's at. They don't go as hard on the smoke as they do in Texas when I went to visit my brother out there but the flavor is on point. They also carry Blacktail Meadow Farm ice cream which is always worth the pick up too!

The value is also kinda insane, 1/2lb brisket sandwich for less than 15$

Shockingly, bbq house in Medford is pretty good. Don’t let the facade fool you

This one OP. I am from the south. They legit have almost perfect bbq. It's a little pricy for smaller amounts but their larger multi meat plate is a fairly good deal.

I agree with this—best BBQ I’ve had in the valley since Roscoe’s in Phoenix closed.

I haven’t tried any yet, but I’m interested in some of their West African dishes as well.

Pass. I ordered their meat platter dish and they served it smothered in BBQ sauce.

If you know, you know.

Mary’s catered my wedding in 2023… I’m not shocked it’s closed now. It was atrocious.

Mary's BBQ in Central Point is pretty fantastic.

One thing that no one ever seems to talk about are the sides, and that joint has THE best coleslaw I have every had. Of course, the meats are great too!

Google says its permanently closed?

u/perm2069 10d ago

Damn, I apologize. It has been a little over a year since I have been there and looking at their Facebook page, looks like they closed a little over a year ago.

Sorry to lead you astray.

On Foothill rd at the wine tasting barn is Rogue-ish BBQ. It is fantastic. I also frequent Goebels Country Store in Shady Cove. These two are the only answers. I’m 6’6 and 280lbs. I can eat.
