| - This was such an odd experience. Have you ever eaten somewhere with some food that is AMAZING and some that is quite possibly the worse you have ever tried to eat? If so, then you've probably already eaten here. I went in for a quick bbq fix with average expectations judging from the average reviews. . . so I assumed that everything would be just average. Little did I know I would be in store for some great food and some horrible food from the same place. I had the brisket, pulled pork, corn, and garlic roasted potatoes. My wife had a half BBQ chicken, mac n cheese, and some cobbler (I can't remember the flavor but she devoured it so I guess it was good). We both opted for dinner rolls because we don't like jalapenos. The Brisket was really moist and had a nice flavor and was probably the best I've had outside of Texas. The pulled pork was pretty good too and more importantly meaty. A lot of places you get pulled pork there is a lot of fat in it but not here. I tried some of my wife's chicken and it was nice and tender with a light Smokey flavor. But all things can't be good. My corn tasted like it was burnt and had no flavor at all, possibly freezer burnt? The garlic potatoes were so dry they were crispy. The mac n' cheese wasn't very creamy and had a thick consistency, possibly microwaved? And the dinner roll, well . . . it was as hard as a rock and at least a week old. Bottom line: Go here for the barbeque, take it home, then make your own sides. The barbeque is really good and clearly where all of the effort goes. The sides are high school cafeteria quality. I would guess the sides are frozen, microwaved, then kept under a heat lamp for hours, maybe even days, until it sells out.
