Though barbecue sauce can be used to power tractors or grease slip ‘n' slides, it’s best for making beans sing and chickens dance. Start a party on the tongue's floor with today’s Groupon to Bad Bob's Barbeque Restaurant in McAllen. Featured in the Monitor, Bad Bob's Barbeque serves up Memphis-style barbecue, smoked meats, and more. A menu of well-sauced sustenance waits to soothe a variety of hunger pains with its sandwiches, sides, and plates. Treat teeth to a championship plate of baby-back ribs ($13.49 for a half rack, $20.99 for a full), or dive tongue first into a pulled-pork or beef-brisket sandwich (starting at $5.49).

• It’s a cozy restaurant with a few tables outside that offers your choice of many different meats. The pulled pork plates and sandwiches and pork ribs are favorites, but the restaurant also serves sausage, turkey and brisket – after all, this is Texas. – Amy Nichol Smith, The Monitor
• Love the pulled pork and the ribs! Their sauces and dry rubs taste great and their fries are good too. – hebhebheb, TripAdvisor
