We all know BBQ is a big deal in America, but definitely in the South. With the Fourth of July on the way, we all know plenty of people busting out the BBQ plates this holiday. One of the first things we do when we get a good plate of food is snap a photo for social media. Having an Instagrammable plate is one of the best parts of finding a new spot to eat at.

Lucky for us, YorkTest, did a study to find the most Instagrammable BBQ spots in the country. They used data from over 700 of the most popular BBQ spots throughout the country. They compared how many people tagged each restaurant to determine which was the most Instagrammable overall. The results might shock you or just make you hungry.
