Eh. Barbeque preferences are personal depending on where you’re from and what you like. It’s not cool to trash someone’s hard work just because you, personally, don’t care for it.

People are allowed to give a place a poor review. Just because you like it doesn't make it cool to tell others their negative opinion is wrong.

I've had horrible service at Crosstown before. They messed up more than basic fast food or a late night waffle house. I too prefer a range of bbq places around town that I consider to be better in taste and service.

I’m serious. What is it about “I don’t like this thing” that equals “bad?” Barbeque, like many things, is completely subjective. It’s beyond obnoxious and entitled to get insulting because something isn’t to your personal taste.

Smokin Bob’s pork belly burnt ends are so fucking good.

Unfortunately, City Butcher and Smokin Bobs are examples of Springfield institutions that doesn’t deserve it. Their food is awful and overpriced.

They should have been closed years ago.

Legit BBQ options springing up in town over the past decade were what will do them in.

I know nothing of the owners, many people say they're nice guys. But that doesn’t mean thier businesses should succeed.

HARD disagree. Smokin Bob's is fantastic and one of the best bbq spots in town for service and flavor.

Now if we want to say a bbq place that has no right to be open it would be Getting Basted. Took over an hour to get three orders of half ribs. Plus they stopped me during my order to tell me that almost everyone who's tried the beans hates them. What bbq is going to stop your order to tell you their food sucks? No thanks.

Fair, but I was definitely just editing the strong opinion post. I don't have a favorite in the BBQ fight.
