| - First off, I have eaten Texas-Oklahoma "Real Deal" barbecue for 30+ years.
Barbecue to different people across the USA undoubtably means different expectations.
I like meats fresh off the smoker grill, meats with a smoke ring and ribs with meat that melts in your mouth,standing alone on the house seasonings.
This means an ON-SITE smoker/pit grill.
If barbecue is served heavily sauced, something is being hidden. Usually dry overcooked or re-heated leftovers.
Reviews show heavily sauced product here.
We never got to the point of seeing their product.
We went with another couple Thursday late morning, we all had their coupon special purchased in advance.
We were seated by a nice teen-age girl, who took our drink order and gave us napkins and flimsy plastic-ware forks and knives.
I asked her if they cooked on site, she said "yes sir".
I smelled ZERO barbecue smoke in the immediate outside or interior area, it is in a small location in a strip center.
Strip centers, to my knowledge,for the most part, do not allow pit barbecue cooking for obvious reasons, fire risk, especially here in Vegas with summer tinder dry conditions.
We made our decisions and asked about our coupons, the owner appeared and said we could not use the discount coupons....we purchased these coupons she generated and could not use them.
After quizzing her as to why, since she authorized them, she had no real answer.
She said we could not, and proceeded to rudely call us cheap for trying to use them.
At this point we simply got up and left.
TC'S might have been a good barbecue place at their former location, where they received some local popularity.
I sense now, it is under new misguided management trying to live off past goodwill and is in a downward spiral....
