I am wary of any place featured on a food show. Guy Fiere has burned me in the past, but I have had some good experiences in the past. That Bordain guy from the travel channel is usually knuckle deep in leftover pig parts, so I have no idea why I decided to take his advice to come here. I liked the idea of the joint... Blazing horns when someone orders the super long hot dog named after a sports dude... the "big unit"... Everyone sportin the Alice Cooper eye makeup...
I was going to order a Cuban sandwich but my roomie got it instead, so I decided on some brisket. Surprisingly small size portion cut very thin. I did enjoy trying a bevy of bbq sauces, my favorite being a sweet tangy variety. The service was suck though. Our server couldn't wait to be out of there it seemed, and our refills (when we got them) seemed to slam down on the table. I don't care if someone smokes, but don't pile on the girlie perfume to try and hide it. Every time a cloud of some sickeningly sweet perfume and Marlboros as she rushed by carrying someone's drink order. Although I did appreciate the two drunk women at the bar who fell on the floor a few times and were clearly having more fun than I. Not worth the drive from Nor Phx.
