If you're a barbecue fan, 24/7 Tempo has a list just for you. The website revealed every state's best barbecue spot, from fine-dining establishments to hole-in-the-wall joints . Writers determined their picks after consulting reviews and ratings from various websites. Chain restaurants were not included in the roundup.

According to the list, Big John's Alabama BBQ is the best place to grab delicious barbecue in Florida! Here's what writers had to say about this historic spot:

"The Reverend John A. 'Big John' Stephens, from guess which state, launched this Tampa favorite in 1968. Stephens died in 1994, but his family is still in charge. Both beef and pork sausages, ribs, and chopped meat are offered, and the house sauce wins plaudits."
