| - That BBQ Joint is a no-fuss, no-frills solid effort. It won't be the best you've had, but you won't be disappointed.
I've been to That BBQ Joint 3 times. Two of the three times they were out of brisket, so lesson learned - arrive around the opening times if you want the full menu available. Here's what I've had: pulled pork sandwich, ribs, brisket sandwich, creamy coleslaw, and fried mac n' cheese ball. Everything was very tasty and the ribs were a standout - I'd certainly get that again.
While I preferred plain sliced brisket, the sandwich was excellent and the brisket is sliced very thin. Think lunch meat thin. My wife said it was her favorite brisket ever simply because of the thin slices.
I found the Carolina sauce to be a bit too mustard-y for me and could be sweeter, so I mixed their regular BBQ sauce with the Carolina and it seemed to be perfect. But that was just a little hack from a guy who prefers sweeter sauce.
The dining area isn't much to look at but it was clean. Service was friendly and fast and I always enjoy a non-chain place that's confident in what they serve. I'd like to explore more of the menu, but I'm from out of town.
I'd recommend this place as a quick lunch stop, or a fast dinner if you don't want to fuss with sit-down, wait service, tipping and all that. The neighborhood was pretty cool as well and we hit up a few shops around the block.
