11 Dishes To Never Order At A BBQ Restaurant, According To A Texas Pitmaster

Pulled Chicken: It often dries out quickly and lacks the smoky flavor that BBQ is known for, making it one of the weaker options.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: These cuts are typically too lean for proper BBQ, resulting in dry, flavorless meat.

BBQ Nachos: These are often overloaded with toppings that mask the quality of the meat, and the chips can become soggy quickly.

Brisket Sandwich with Too Much Sauce: Drenching brisket in sauce can hide the quality of the meat, which should stand on its own with minimal sauce.

BBQ Pizza: BBQ pizza often uses low-quality meat, and the combination of smoked meat and pizza toppings can lead to a confusing flavor profile.

Burnt Ends from Lean Cuts: True burnt ends come from the point of the brisket. If they're from the leaner flat, they can be dry and tough.

Fried Items: BBQ joints are about the smoked meats. Opting for fried chicken or fried sides detracts from the authentic BBQ experience.

Ribs Smothered in Sauce: If ribs are drowned in sauce, it's a red flag that the cooking process may not have imparted enough flavor.
