As the weather gets warmer and days get longer, that can only mean one thing: it’s barbecue season.

Though there are countless barbecue restaurants across the country, online food magazine Chef’s Pencil recently found the cities where barbecue lovers should focus their attention.

Using data from Tripadvisor, Chef’s Pencil analyzed all the barbecue joints in the 75 largest cities in the U.S. to find the best and worst cities for barbecue. The magazine ranked each city based on their barbecue joints’ average Tripadvisor rating, but didn’t include cities with less than 10 barbecue restaurants within their city limits.
