| - Being from Texas, I am skeptical about all things barbecue and chicken fried outside of home. Most places, hard as they try, will never get it right. That being said, Texas BBQ House was like stepping into a teleporter that brought me right back to the doorstep of home.
Served up in a traditional Texas style, you walk up to the counter and order various meats by the pound. They are sliced right in front of you, placed on butcher paper and set in a plastic crate. You grab cold sides from a reach in fridge and order hot sides from one of the nice men at the counter. They've got sweet tea, the good Coke (the Mexican kind in the bottle that still has real sugar), and IBC in a bottle. Doesn't get much better than that. Every single meat (and I do believe we tried them all) was moist and just seemed to fall apart as you picked it up. A quality Famous Dave's has yet to master with their brisket. The boyfriend and I decided to try order as much as we could, stuff ourselves, and go home with leftovers. As we ordered, the staff would cut us both samples of each meat. We were not disappointed in a single one. After loading up on brisket, jalapeno sausage, pork loin, and ribs, they brought us samples of the creamed corn and pinto beans. Both were excellent, but we just went with creamed corn (like we didn't already have enough food). And what kind of barbecue dinner is complete without potato salad and coleslaw? So, we threw both of those on as well. In true Texas tradition, they hand you as many slices of white sandwich bread as you'd like, you pay, and you're on your way to carnivore heaven.
Like I said, everything we had was delicious and I guarantee this little gem would not be shunned back home. There are LCD televisions in every corner and they'll put on whatever game you'd like to watch. It's chilly now, but during the nicer months you can enjoy your feast outside on picnic benches under a covered patio. It's in the middle of nowhere, (24th street and Broadway) we nearly missed it, but they are opening a second location in Scottsdale sometime in January 2012. I think I'll still head out to this one, though, as I can't really see myself eating barbecue around the Scottsdale crowd. They close early (7 pm) so don't waste daytime.
Next time I'm in, we'll try not to overload ourselves and leave room for dessert. I'm eager to try the banana pudding and the boyfriend loves pecan pie. So, I'll update on that as soon as we get hungry again.
