The Best Barbecue Havens in Each American State

Coppertop BBQ specializes in St. Louis-style ribs, but the Santa Maria Tri-tip steals the show with its near-poetic char. Pair it with a side of grilled green chili and beans for California’s best barbecue experience.

Since its inception in 2014, Coppertop BBQ quickly rose to prominence, winning the title of best American restaurant by Yelpers in 2015. Noteworthy dishes include award-winning pork bellies, sumptuous briskets, and delicious spare ribs, making it a crowd-pleaser.
