barbecue joint

Brisket and ribs

A barbecue joint is a casual restaurant specializing in smoked meats—ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken.

The term joint suggests unpretentious atmosphere: paper-lined trays, plastic utensils, maybe picnic tables.

We found this amazing barbecue joint outside Austin.

The best ones often look like roadside shacks.
