Don't know a lot about the Waterloo neighborhood but I was starving and wanted to stop someplace in the area. My trusty Yelp app pointed out this place and I'm glad it did
Everyone always talks about Hot Sauce Williams and how amazing it is but the ambiance leaves little to be desired. Being dirty is not charming. It does not add character.
That's why I think B&M is better. Everything about this place was surprising in the best possible way. You can see the smoke as your driving down the street beckoning you to the parking lot. The smokers are always in action. As you step out the delicious smell of meat greets you.
You walk in the doors and the place is immaculate. I mean spotless. There's no place to sit but it's designed so you can see what's going on in the kitchen through the bulletproof glass.
I tried the chicken wings and the shoulder sandwich. For about 5 bucks you get a generous portion of deliciously tender shoulder slathered in homemade BBQ sauce and covered in slaw. The BBQ sauce was tangy and light and the slaw was the perfect compliment to the shoulder.
The fried chicken wings were big, crispy and full of meat. Definitely better than wings from actual wing places.
This was a great experience and I would definitely go out of my way to go here again.
