| - Okay, first I want to get the only negative comment out of the way; there is not much seating inside. Other than that I would give this place 10 stars. The menu is small but diverse (if that makes any sense). Soups, salads, sandwiches, and some sides in addition to breakfast. The ambiance is casual and convivial. The smell is intoxicating. The service is friendly and comes with a smile. The food is outrageous. And the soda (I am not a soda person but I had to give there selection a try) is on-point. I stopped in with a few buddies for lunch on the recommendation of yelp and it did not disappoint. Upon entering you are greeted with the smell of meat smoking. Of course all that can do is whet your appetite and make you impatient while standing inline. I decided to make my own sandwich as opposed to ordering one of the House specials: I got pulled pork and chopped brisket with pickle chips, white onions, and spicy bbq sauce. For my side I chose mac n cheese. First, the side was very light and was not rich. As a side I enjoyed the taste because it was very subdued and I took that as a sign the ingredients were fresh and real. The sandwich was pretty large but not too big. The meat was done perfectly and had so much taste it was unreal. I would venture to say it's because they source only local and sustainable meats. I typically get lethargic and feel nasty after eating bbq but this meat did not affect me that way so I could tell it was of high quality. One of my friends got the burnt ends as a side. Holy smokes! This is the only place I have found that do it right: dry like beef jerky and almost to the point of looking visibly inedible but full of so much flavor and texture. The soda selection was interesting: cherry vanilla, farm coke, cucumber, blood orange, and pomegranate if I remember correctly. All good in my opinion. They also sell local produce such as veggies, honey, dairy, and the like. I seriously just found my new favorite bbq and sandwich joint in The Valley.
