Clearly this smokehouse is filling a gap in the neighbourhood. Line-ups are really long yet well worth the wait so hang in there! I can see the popularity maintaining itself long past the initial newness has run its course.
Staff is first rate, balancing a never-ending hectic pace with taking the time to connect with customers.
My initial order was shy 1/2 pound of ribs, over which the owner connected personally when I sent a note, to ensure that this was made right. I was very graciously offered a complimentary extra 1/2 pound of ribs and desserts, and could not be more pleased with the outcome. The food was fantastic and the owner even more so.
The remainder of the review is all good news. The brisket is ridiculously tender and delicious. Baked beans are absolutely the star of the side dishes, with a mild bite and so much flavour! We also had the mac'n'cheese which is quite good, and potato salad which could use a bit more moisture but had excellent flavour. The chicken was good but scores third place of the meats that we sampled. Ribs, had there been more of them, come second after the brisket.
We're thinking that the brisket sandwich with a bone on top and a side of baked beans seems to be the way to go.
