| - I was really hoping this place would be good, and based on the reviews on here, I thought I would be in for a treat, but sadly all I was in for was a big disappointment. Don't fall for all the 5 star reviews like I did, as most are by people from Cleveland (which has traditionally been a BBQ wasteland), who have no idea what real BBQ should taste like. I tried the "burnt end" sandwich, which is basically a lie. It doesn't have real burnt ends, but instead is just cut off pieces of the the crust of a brisket (not the actual burnt point of the brisket, which should then be further cooked after being cut off to give them a crispy char). The meat is not even smoked, as far as I could tell!
Portions are tiny - my sandwich had about as much meat as a $1 hotdog at Progressive field and came with a sauce cup side of watery mac & cheese that makes Kraft mac & cheese seem like a creamy delicacy ("all" this for $7.50!). I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but if what I ate is any indication, this is a sad excuse for real BBQ...don't waste your time and $ like I did. If you want something decent, you're either going to have to travel to the west side (Proper Pig) or splurge a bit on Mabel's....
