This was our second stop at American Way Market. Last time we stopped they were out of brisket. We still wanted to try their brisket especially after having their delicious pulled pork sandwich about 6 months previously.
It was lunch time and we expected it to be busy. It was. There was a line and the line moved pretty slow. The reason for the slow line wasn't because of the cashiers. It was because all the people ahead of me were ordering items from the bakery display. Oh my! All those huge cookies, brownies and other items looked good. Having willpower to pass them up would have been difficult, I'm sure. It was for me.
So, the brisket sandwich was delivered along with a grilled cheese sandwich for my companion. It's not that he doesn't like brisket, he does. He just wasn't hungry and figured he'd give my brisket a try.
The brisket was very good. There's no getting around that. It had a great smokey flavor and the sandwich was piled high with it. I would have preferred that the meat was smothered in BBQ sauce though. I love the taste of the meat without the sauce. I also loved the meat without the sandwich bread even though it was fresh. I would have loved to have ordered some of their sliced brisket but they don't offer it. The coleslaw was amazing. I'm not sure what the flavor was (apple?) but delicious. It was probably the best I'd ever had.
Now the grilled cheese sandwich .... not good. You couldn't taste the cheese. Was there cheese between those two slices of bread? Yes because you could see it but not taste it.
I'm still giving a 4-star rating but that's for everything else about this place. it's good and worth a stop.
