The other day we featured 13 of the highest rated bbq joints in Maryland (click here to read). That list, however, was only the beginning. There are actually dozens of meaty spots in the Old Line State and today we’re focusing on one that deserves your attention. Travel off the beaten path to find some of the most mouthwatering bbq ever.

If you’re ever traveling along 301 in Southern Maryland, you may spot a little bbq shack on the side of the road.

This unassuming spot is known as Johnny Boy’s Ribs. It may not look like much, but don’t judge a book by its cover.

This place has the most massive pork ribs you have ever laid your eyes upon. This is roadside dining at its best.

And several other filling options, including chicken wings, fish, beef, and whatever else your meat-loving heart could imagine.

In fact, there are so many meaty dishes, it’s nearly impossible to decide what to order. This place has been referred to as the best little rib house in Maryland, and we completely agree.
