My local AG stores quit carrying my go to BBQ sauce, Garland Jack's Secret Six Original. I know I can get it online if need be, but I haven't been able to find something comparable in a pinch.

Any rec's on a good BBQ sauce that's commercially available.

Sauces I've tried:
Sticky Fingers
Sweet Baby Ray's
Rufus Teague
Stub's (multiple flavors)
The Shed
KC
Kraft
Bulls-Eye
Jack Daniels
Cattleman's

Only possible commercially available i will buy is Dancing Pig (Bbq Shop in Memphis). Kroger used to carry it in some stores...

Order Dreamland and stock it as well.

I guess online is the route I need to take then. Garland Jack's taste like how a traditional BBQ sauce is supposed to taste. I haven't tried Dreamland or Dancing Pig or seen in any of the local stores around Prairieville/Gonzales area, but I'll look online and see about getting some shipped. Thanks boss.


Cola-Q might not be bad, but I don't think Siracha and Roasted Garlic is something I'm going to try. I don't dispise the taste of Siracha, but that's not a BBQ flavor to me and it's not something that I want my pulled pork, ribs, and brisket to taste like.

I grabbed some of the weber sauce and man it was good. I've since brought all the flavor a and haven't been disssapointed

It's low in sugar and they don't use high fructose corn syrup. It's really good. They have one that's a sweet honey and I used it on my baby backs for a party recently. I had about 10 people come and ask me what sauce was on the ribs.

Head country is pretty good, but I really like Blues Hog. Good shite... And if you don't mind taken a swing at something Vans Pig stand from Shawnee, OK is good shite as well. Used to eat there while in JUCO. Generally keep their rub on hand during the Qing season...

I tend to get away from the sticky sweet sauces, just because everybody else in my circle is doing them.. I like a bit more cumin, a Texas-style chili-ish flavor.

That said, my go to is DL Jardine's 5-Star Sauce. The little bits of onion just look good, and taste good on ribs.. Avail online.

In a hurry- Stubbs original is good, and available in most area supermarkets..

Coming on strong are Famous Dave's Texas Pit and Georgia Mustard Sauce. Strong, son..

Or you can always do what many restaurants do. Get some Cattleman's Sauce, doctor it up a bit, attach a story about a lost traveling salesman trading his momma's recipe for a room night, and try to make it..

I pretty much stick to Jay D's Louisiana BBQ Sauce these days, but before my favorite was always to mix half and half between Stubb's original and Stubb's spicy. Gave it just the right amount of kick.

Thanks for I'll the suggestions I'll do some research and make a couple purchases.

I'm not looking for a sweet sauce or a vinegar sauce just a good balance. Which is why Iiked the Garland Jack's (just found out it's owned by Kraft).

Seems like many of them are either too heavy on brown sugar, honey, or vinegar. I find that there are very few BBQ sauces that aren't "gimmicky". I'm not crazy about "jalapeño habanero pineapple super sweet Jamaican jerked local honey blended BBQ sauce aged in whiskey barrels".

I love Dreamland, but it's a thin vinegary sauce. GREAT on pulled pork, brisket and the like. I use different sauces for different meats. I order Bodacious sauce sometimes with their pinto bean dry seasoning which has a cumin/sort of chili flavor. That mixed in with a little sweet sauce is quite good.
