This strange-sounding eatery -- original owner Johnny Greene got this nickname working at the local Piggly Wiggly supermarket as a lad back home in Tyler, Texas -- is famous for some of the best Texas-style barbecue in Southern California. The portions are huge at this decidedly no-frills Valley institution, and favorites include Texas hot links, tender brisket, spareribs and chicken. Sides such as macaroni salad and baked beans are generally satisfying, and those who feel up to it can finish it all off with authentic Southern-style sweet potato pie. Meal for two: $40.
