| - This place is worthy of 5 stars.
We walked in and realized it's cafeteria-like ordering style. We were promptly greeted and was told, all the ribs just sold out and they won't have it again until tonight. Immediately turned me off, because that's my go-to choice of meat.
Contemplating whether to go with 1 or 2 meats, the lady told us it would about 4 ounce portions per meat. I went with the brisket, tri-tip, corn on the cob and coleslaw for my two sides. My husband got the tri-tip and the turkey breast. The turkey is actually slow cooked for 7 hours and who knows what process the rib and meats go through, since they ran out based on popularity.
All the meats were neatly sliced, no fats trimmed, just in case you're into that sort of thing. The meats were lightly seasoned, and perfect if you want to add your own sauce. Amazingly, the meats were so tender, you can just use your fork. We tried the two type of sauces, for the sake of trying it. The verdict, the meat alone is the star without any other sauce. Great tri-tip, awesome briskets, most surprisingly, is the tender turkey (cashier said it was her favorite).
Corn on the cob was wrapped up in foil and there's nothing cool about mushy kernels. I unwrapped it, well seasoned and I cut away with my plastic knife. Mmm, yummy was my reaction and it wasn't even mushy or soggy at all. Thank goodness.
The slaw was again lightly seasoned, not too much of anything. The plated meals also comes with wheat, white and I think rye bread. Nothing special, just sliced bread that appear to be Orowheat of some brand.
The decor is your typical Texas BBQ joint. Nicely done with wooden benches, round tables for big and small parties.
Finally, a BBQ joint that is good, not smothered in sauce, so you can taste the meat. The cuts of meats were good and hardly any fat on them. I'm no connoisseur on grading meat, but this was delicious BBQ. This is a real gem in Henderson.
The icing on the cake was when a manager/owner asked us about our meal. When you care that much to simply ask, you get honest feedback. If there is happy hour prices, we might consider gathering co-workers after work.
