| - For once I am pleasantly surprised by a restaurant. This place has huge banners outside bragging about their lunch specials, so I decided to give them a shot while I was waiting for service on my car.
The lunch menu is relatively concise with two basic options: Platters for $6.99 or Sandwiches for $5.99. Choices are brisket, pork, chicken and a few other basic options. Sandwiches come with one side (the usual suspects) and Platters come with the side plus a cornbread muffin.
I opted for Brisket, which I love and am relatively convinced no one knows how to cook. When my lunch came out I had approximately 6 fairly thick slices of brisket, the french fries I ordered and the cornbread muffin. The brisket was incredibly tender, falling off the fork. The taste was a very fresh smoked flavor, I mixed in a touch of their BBQ sauce and I was incredibly impressed.
The cornbread had a great flavor, very soft and tasteful, the fries were pretty decent in their own right. Upon finishing my meal the waitress commented that I had quite a bit of fat left on my plate and offered to get me more brisket. I have never heard of a business offering more food before! I respectfully declined because I was stuffed from the huge portions served - while the brisket was relatively fatty, I was still served a copious amount of meat.
Service was all in all good. I came during the lunch rush and only one waitress was working. She acknowledged me 2 or 3 times before finally making it over, which is MUCH better than being ignored. I could clearly see she was busy, at least she acknowledged me! She even had help from the kitchen serving tables.
I used a Yelp check-in coupon for an additional 20% off, which they happily honored. All told, the meal plus a couple Iced Tea's, my total bill was $7.73.
I will certainly be back!
