| - Came in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Food came right up and there was no wait.
Ordered the chopped brisket, a baby back rib bone, smoked corn on the cob, and baked beans.
Overall, the meet was good. Tender as could be. The only issue I take with them is the slight smoke flavor. Not enough smoke. In talking with one of the cooks, I learned, for example, that the ribs were both for about 90 minutes, and then wrapped in foil to finish. That explains the white smoke flavor and the overall Inverness of the rib.
I also made an ordering mistake by asking for the chopped brisket. I assumed since there was a brisket sandwich on the menu, that this would've been a plate of meat. It was more like a sloppy Joe, where the brisket was marinated and one of their sauces. It was still good, but not what I expected.
The same guy that explained to me how the ribs were cooked, went back into the kitchen and brought me out two slices of brisket as I expected. That was very kind of him, and the meat was really tender. However, like the ribs, it did not have the strong smoke flavor that I like.
Regarding the BBQ sauces, they have a really nice variety with 7 to choose from. One tastes like Open Pit (not a big fan) and one was laced with Old Bay (thought I was at a clam bake- good on seafood, horrible on meat.).
The sides were OK, but nothing to get excited about. The baked beams were good, but not outstanding. The corn on the cob was fine, but like the meat, very little smoke flavor. Service was A+
