| - We had pretty much everything on the menu, with the exception of chicken and waffles. Here's our ranking:
1. Texas Chili
2. Brisket
3. Ribs
4. Pulled Pork
Seriously, the chili is amazing. Texas style, so no beans, no tomato, but a ridiculously rich and flavorful beef stew served with corn chips. We asked for more bread just so we could wipe the bowl clean. The brisket was on the fatty side, but that makes it tender and delicious, not dry like a lot of brisket can be. It also had a nice smokey flavor.
The food is uncomplicated, served in tupperware lined with wax paper. The sides are equally uncomplicated, but appropriate. The potato salad, coleslaw, beans and corn are fine, but any of them could have come from Loblaws. Not that that's a bad thing. It works. Some things come accompanied with Wonder Bread. Again, unpretentious, but soft white Wonder bread and brisket are made for each other.
The only bad is that you don't get a lot for your money. The food is delicious, but the lowbrow nature of the place suggest a little more "value". They're going for down-home Americana and I can only imagine the servings south of the border would be double what you get at AAA. Regardless, great food, good atmosphere. I'll go back.
