As soon as you walk in the smell of greatness hits you hard. I ordered a small beef brisket with a side of coleslaw and cornbread, and my hubby got the pulled pork with baked beans. My bun was so perfect....cornbread so delectable...but my brisket was meh. I was on the look out for mysterious clear fluid drippings that other reviewers had warned about. I didn't have any but wow did my hub's pulled pork drip like crazy! His hands were glistening. He said it tasted greasy and not very flavorful. Every sauce that I tasted was yummy though!
In a perfect world, I would take the meat from Big T's and throw it on Holy Smoke's buns and eat it with their sides too. But when it really comes down to it, I'm here for the meat, so I'll be heading back to Big T's next time (just don't order cornbread there it's bleh!).
I wish that there was a BBQ place in Calgary that was a hit in every category :(
