ZZQ Texas Craft Barbeque in Richmond, Virginia

Unlike a lot of places on this list, ZZQ Texas Craft Barbecue in Richmond, Virginia, was opened by a chef with little prior experience. Chris Fultz and his wife opened the restaurant after Chris developed an affinity for Texas BBQ. He must've had a knack for it because today, they serve some of the best BBQ in the state, and their ribs, sausage, and brisket are to die for.

We definitely recommend giving this place a go if you're passing through Virginia, as Chris and his wife have made quite a reputation for themselves in the state and beyond.
