Redwood City BBQ spot makes Yelp's ‘Top 100' in America list

(NEXSTAR) – Americans are suckers for meats we barely need to chew.
Whether it's a succulent pile of pulled pork, a slice of melt-in-your-mouth brisket, or a bite of falling-off-the-bone ribs, Americans love a great plate of tender barbecued meats that - if necessary - we could tear apart with a fork and gum down our throats.
To that end, the analysts at Yelp have attempted to determine the "Top 100 Barbecue Spots" in the country, based largely on the ratings and reviews of its online community.
Perhaps as expected, many of this year's entries are located in the South, though a fair share are scattered throughout the rest of the country. Texas, however, boasted the most "top" barbecue joints in Yelp's rankings with 12 in the Lone Star State alone, followed by 10 in California, eight in Florida, seven in Missouri and seven in Arizona. The Carolinas didn’t do too shabbily either, with 10 restaurants on the list between both states.
Buckboard's Barbecue & Brew – El Cajon, California
Little Miss BBQ-Sunnyslope – Phoenix, Arizona
Heritage Barbecue – San Juan Capistrano, California
Mad Jack's Mountaintop Barbecue – Cloudcroft, New Mexico
Federal Hill Smokehouse – Erie, Pennsylvania
Watson's BBQ – Tucumcari, New Mexico
PorChop & Bubba's BBQ – Bakersfield, California
Taking the number 33 spot, Capelo’s Barbeque in Redwood City is the sole representative of the Bay Area on Yelp’s list.
In compiling its 2024 list of the "Top 100 Barbecue Spots," Yelp's team limited its rankings to restaurants within the platform's "barbecue" category, concentrating on those with reviews that frequently mentioned the word "barbecue" specifically. These eateries were then ranked based on criteria including each restaurant's Yelp ratings and volume of reviews. Yelp's analysts also limited the number of list entries per state to 12 for purposes of "geographic diversity," a spokesperson for Yelp confirmed to Nexstar.
More information, including a handy map displaying the location of all 100 restaurants, can be found at Yelp.
