I've had barbecue pretty much everywhere, especially Texas. For Aurora, Oh, it tough to find fault. The brisket was moist and tender with a great smokey/woody flavor. Their sauces are pretty good. The polish sausage needed to be smoked longer, it just tasted "cooked" but was still good. The turkey was very good too; good smokey flavor. The Texas Chili was good, and the vinegar Slaw was good. Since we're not in Texas, I would give the food 4.5. Didn't try all the sides or meats. Wish it had hush puppies or cornbread. My wife had the Nacho special for $5 which was a steal for be amount of food she got. If one could order a la cart like Rudy's, we'd really be on to something. Oh, and add banana pudding with nilla-wafers. You can thank me later.
The atmosphere is disappointing; very cafeteria, not very "Texas" or rustic. I recommend investing in wood topped tables and bench style seating. Service was perfectly fine given its not technically a sit down place (keeping in mind most BBQ restaurants aren't).
