Mealtime Magic - 2025's Top Cities for Grilling Meat

 

Which U.S. cities boast ideal grilling conditions to fire up some meat?

With tailgating season underway and Labor Day Weekend around the corner, Lawn Love used 15 metrics to rank 2025's Best Cities for a Meaty Cookout.

Top 10 Cities for a Meaty Cookout

  1. Raleigh, NC
  2. Georgetown, TX
  3. New Braunfels, TX
  4. Tyler, TX
  5. Jonesboro, AR
  6. Fayetteville, AR
  7. Suffolk, VA
  8. Knoxville, TN
  9. Lynchburg, VA
  10. Murfreesboro, TN 

 

Key Insights:

  • Pigskins and pork chops: Southern cities with big university football scenes, like Fayetteville, Arkansas (No. 6), Knoxville, Tennessee (No. 8), and Athens, Georgia (No. 16), finish near the top with high local interest, well-rated butcher shops, and large backyards for hosting.

  • Big cities like New York (No. 25) and Los Angeles (No. 27) claim the most top-rated butcheries (22 and 8, respectively). However, smaller cities like Buffalo, New York (No. 91), and Grand Rapids, Michigan (No. 53) stand out among larger metros with 4 top-tier butcher shops (with 4.5+ star ratings and 10+ reviews). 

  • Cookouts are most likely to get rained out in Miami (No. 265) and Mobile, Alabama (No. 37). Heat is most likely to be an issue for meat lovers in Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. Keep an eye out for adverse weather forecasts and burn bans or other grilling restrictions in your area.
