McClures, The Joint, NOLA Smokehouse, Squeal, Blue Oak.

I had a great lunch recently at NOLA Smokehouse and and the only other one I've had is Squeal.
I'm sure I will have McClures soon when I go visit the NOLA Taproom expansion.

Just curious how they all stack up.

squeal is the worst on that list and I haven't even had Blue Oak to compare

McClure's went downhill IMO once he opened his own place

I agree with this. I pretty much wrote them off but it will be inevitable at the taproom. I'm hoping for the best.

Joint
Smokehouse

Hope McClures in the taproom redeems it for me.

Nola Smokehouse > Walkers and everything else is a complete waste of time/money.

Basically. Certainly nothing of true merit.

What didn't you like about Blue Oak BBQ? I'm one of the owners and would love to hear some feedback.

I haven't had a good anything at squeal. They overcook everything and it's overpriced

If you can search around the site, there or a few threads talking about your food and people seem to really like it. Lots of bitching about the owner of the bar though.

Yes relative to our neighbors in the SE. Smokehouse is great for New Orleans, not so much for GA or TX.
