| - Man, this place is just around the corner and I'm just discovering it now. Lots of other people in the area apparently are all in the know though. It's a small brick building, but inside it resembles a kind of weird mix of wraparound lunch counter (circa 1960) and tables. Never asked what style of BBQ these guys use, but it is likely some form of Texas with sliced brisket and thicker ribs, but they sauce the meat here. The chopped chicken is mixed meat and cashier steered me towards the turkey instead of the brisket. This was an excellent pile of smoked turkey on a sesame bun - simple and to the point. The sauce was good and I got to sample all three including my favorite sweet and hot variety (not hot at all, just a twang). THe sandwich at 9 bucks was worthy with a side, but use the $1 off coupon on the website and you will feel better at $7.95. Tough choice on the sides, but being a blue cheese addict went with Kentucky Blue Slaw. Yeah, nice try, but even though the slaw was excellent with a thicker chop, there wasn't enough blue cheese present to give the slaw anything other than a watery blue cheese/mustard? taste. Still good though.
I got here almost right after it opened at 10:30, but about 11, things were humming already in the lot. Go early or late or call it in. Brisket and Beans on the next visit possibly in a baked potato which is clearly a Southern item.
