| - I'm a big fan of BBQ. So, I was looking forward to giving Allison's a try. I spent time in North Carolina, which is a little different from Texas BBQ since we like our pulled pork. Allison's has a decent rendition. A little dry - maybe overcooked? Still, not bad. I also had a sampling of the other meats (ribs, brisket, chicken). Like the pulled pork, my consensus opinion is that the BBQ is acceptable but not fantastic. Everything was a little on the dry side - forcing me to douse everything with BBQ sauce (which was also just average in flavor for me).
I liked the corn souffle side - tasty! The beans were average. Would be nice to have cornbread or a roll instead of the plain bread slice. Could also use some more greens as side dish choices (or at least corn!).
I read from other reviews that the pecan pie is good. I didn't try it, but maybe next time.
Staff was very friendly. Decor was simple but clean and appropriate for a business of this size. It's nice to see small/local businesses like this, and I hope it does well. At this point, I'd give Famous Dave's an edge, but hopefully things (i.e., quality and side dish variety) will improve with time.
