this is arguably some of the best barbecue in America! I will be hard pressed to look at the top 50 barbecue places in America and not see this establishment listed!
From the reviews and what I witnessed there is always a 60 to 90 minute wait to get your food. That's because the butcher slices everyone's meal to order. The meals are served by weight or pieces. You can order lean brisket or the fatty portion of the brisket and if you can't decide you can ask for it mixed.
Since I'm a proclaim barbecue connoisseur I went with 1/2 of a pound of ribs 3/4 of a pound of fatty brisket and 1 sausage.
the ribs:
for the first time in a long time I can say I'm tongue tied trying to explain the ribs. The ribs didn't need any barbecue sauce, they were that damn good that you can eat them with nothing on them. The rub, the smoke, the smoke ring and texture were outstanding!
I ate all the four of the rib bones and got mad because I only ordered half a pound.
The brisket:
if you read most of the reviews on this restaurant you will hear people kicking in screaming about the brisket, I can see why! When you watch the butcher pull the flank of brisket out of the smoker and begin to cut the meat and you watch the juices flow down the cutting board it is like poetry in motion, the whole world stops! The pieces of brisket were so moist tender and juicy OMG! the bark from the rub gave it so much flavor it was hard to not stick the whole piece of brisket in your mouth it was that delectable!
LAST THING GET THE PIE!! IT'S THE BEST $5 YOU'LL EVER SPEND!!!!
grades:
ribs- 9.75
brisket- 10
pecan pie- 10+
There is no down my mind that they are easily the top 5 barbecue joints in America! You have my word on it!
