There are two different kinds of barbecue lovers. The first kind loves their meat sweet and covered in sauce with a punch of flavor in the first bite. The second enjoys their meat dry rubbed and filled with that savory flavor that the smoker naturally imparts to the meat.
So which kind of barbecue lover are you? I consider myself the second kind because I love the flavor that the smoke gives the raw meat. But either way, it’s important to know where you can find the best barbecue in the Gainesville area. So, we’ve slathered a succulent list of Gainesville’s best BBQ restaurants here for you!
