| - The real deal Holyfield. I've been to Adamson Barbecue three times. Now, I didn't blow a 3-1 lead like Curry in the Finals last year, but I went 2-1 (not gonna lie). First time, I arrive on a Saturday at 12:30pm to see Adam Skelly walk outside and flip the wooden sign from "open" to "close". He apologized, and advised me to come early next time. Right when they open so the meat is straight out of the smoker. He recommended Bamiyan Kabob down the street and raved about their food. So I went, and it was unreal. S/O Adam for the reccomendation.
I arrive the next week, ready, and determined. I arrived at 10:30AM and was shocked to see the line about 5+deep (plus those waiting in their cars). I'll be the second to admit I am guilty of this as well.. Until 10:45...
I ordered the Texas Trinity (feeds 2) $40
1/2 lb brisket (fatty)
1/2 lb ribs
1 sausage (jalapeno cheddar)
3 small sides (coleslaw, beans, potato salad)
1 slice of pie or 2 cookies (sweet potato pie)
+pickle +onion +bread
**An EVERYTHING TRAY (Texas Trinity on steroids) exists. It feeds 4-5 and costs $100.
Everything had a deep smokey taste and the meat was seasoned properly. It tasted slow cooked. The jalapeno-cheddar sausage was my favourite protein. Hands down the best sausage I have ever had. The brisket was tasty especially with their housemade vinegar based bbq sauce. The bread is also freshly baked in house. The ribs were not falling off the bone, however you could cut the meat off with the plastic knife and forks provided. Wow. It's like you are cutting into butter. The potato salad was the best side. It has bits of meat included which made it even better! Sweet potato pie was very good. So good, that I did not wait until the end. I took breaks from all the meat with bites of the pie, ha ha ha. But, it was 11:00am and I hadn't eaten all morning. My stomach was just not ready for all that rich meat at once.
I will visit Adamson's again in the future and try their sandwiches, which seemed to be popular during lunch hour. They have this awesome round of butter spinning on this a wheel, and they use it to butter the bread. Say no more.
Some of the items sell like hot cakes; so learn from my mistakes and go early to avoid disappointment!
