Mad Jack’s Mountaintop Barbecue in Cloudcroft, New Mexico

Mad Jack’s Mountaintop Barbecue was opened by Mr. Jackson, and it serves Texas-style BBQ. That means a lot of beef ribs, sausage, and slow-smoked brisket. However, they also do a really good turkey leg. Since opening, the restaurant has become a local staple, and things tend to sell out quickly, so it's worth getting here early if you want to pay them a visit. The beef rib is absolutely huge and worth a try.

Their motto is "Barbecue more tender than your mother's heart," which is a big claim that most of those lucky enough to go here say is absolutely true.
