After hearing from many friends and yelp reviews that this place has the best beef brisket sandwiches, I had to give it a try. After shopping in the Yorkvile area all morning and having a light breakfast, I was quite excited to finally try this place. The menu is quite simple and not overwhelming which I prefer. Without even scanning the rest of the menu, the choice was quite simple.
I ordered a beef brisket sandwich with black camel BBQ sauce and chili roasted onions. The sandwich finally came and it looked delicious. I have an issue with burger and sandwich places that overstuff their buns to the max; when you take a bite and toppings are oozing out onto your hands, it's not appealing..it's quite the opposite actually. I finally take my first bite and to my surprise, I was disappointed.
1) The bun was served at room temperature. To me the bun is equally important part of the sandwich than the filling. This was a big miss.
2) The BBQ sauce was too overpowering. It wasn't a bad sauce, but that was all I could taste. You could've easily told me I was eating a pulled pork sandwich and I would have believed you. The brisket didn't stand out in any way.
3) The bun to meat ratio was too high. I love my breads, but this one wasn't even good and there was just too much of it and not enough meat in my opinion. Maybe I should've opted for some extra toppings, but a good sandwich should stand out on its own and this one to me fell short.
Overall, I think I will be back to try their other sandwiches as people seem to quite enjoy them. But I will not be going out of my way to visit this place.
