I have a favorite BBQ place in town, so Big Ern's can't have my whole heart. However, they are right around the corner from me and it's cozy inside, the staff was so friendly they won me over immediately. I can be a shy solo diner so I really appreciate friendliness. My hot links were really tasty and I liked the brisket... have to remember to ask for no sauce, next time... I'm not much of a saucy girl. I really liked the coleslaw, too, it had a celery salt thing going on that I very much appreciated. But an extra star just for making me very comfortable. Great job guys, I'll be back plenty.
