QOTD: What's the best BBQ in the Tyler/Longview area?

Okay, East Texas. We know you love your BBQ. I haven't made my first trek to the Tyler/Longview/Kilgore area, but it's on my to-do list. In the meantime, I'm curious what folks think is the best BBQ joint in the area. Tyler, Longview, Kilgore, Overton, Whitehouse, Gladewater, Hallsville, etc. Whose BBQ is best?

Stanley's. No question. End of story.

But...Pat Gee's is also well worth a visit.

Stanley's is a clear No. 1. Country Tavern in Kilgore is pretty good, but not near as good as Stanley's. Carter's is Longview's best. Try the smoked boudin. Daddy Sam's in Carthage makes pretty killer hickory-smoked bake beans, loaded baked potatoes, and turkey. Their banana pudding is great, too. Most unique and a personal favorite is Neely's in Marshall, home of the almost Carolina-style brown pig sandwich.
