Similar in concept to another local BBQ restaurant. I'd have to say it is a tie. I wasn't able to discern too much of a difference, but I certainly had a great meal.
You can get sandwiches or choose meats by the 1/2 pound. I got the pulled pork and the brisket. While there was no choice between lean or fatty brisket, the brisket I was served was lean, completely edible and delicious.
When ordering meats by the 1/2 pound you also get a choice of a side. I chose potato salad. The potato salad was good, not too creamy, and made with stadium mustard I read. Meals also come with onions, pickles and that perplexing slice of white bread.
I loved the Pope's branded hot sauce on the table. It was certainly flavorful, but not too hot. The house made BBQ sauce was good as well. It was just a bit thick, not too sweet and a great compliment to both the meats I ordered. The main difference between this place and competitors in my opinion was the sauce. I think this BBQ sauce has a slight edge over others.
Also - bacon on a stick is amazing. It is thick cut candied bacon and absolutely delicious. Worth $5? Of course not, but order it anyways.
