Great brisket but even yummier sauces, from XXX hot, habanero to multiple kinds of house blend barbecues. I enjoyed my briskets smokiness which was a controlled balance with a super tender outside bark that I enjoyed as much as the meat. Depending on the cut the moist level of the meat can be slightly different however no negative surprises just well crafted southwestern goodness.
It's been too long and hubby himself being a BBQ virgin, was also quite impressed. He had the cheeseburger but ended up partaking in over half of my dish. Like I told him no risk no reward, so he's learned to at least venture beyond his familiar menu zone, especially when dining in a well documented establishment as Tom's.
As some of you know from my previous posts, being a self-proclaimed potato connoisseur I'm afraid I cant vouch well for Tom's fried shoestrings. Perhaps they spent too much time outside the fryer than in, as the oiliness level and al dente texture wasn't up to par for moi. Thus I'd deduct 0.5 stars for the undercooked spud accompaniment.
All in all, a good spot to come for casual yet white butcher paper tabletop BBQ cuisine and a car wash/full detail if you so desire.
