| - Came here at 11:10am on Tuesday just shortly after they opened. I heard there was a line up before I came here, so I was prepared for it. Then of course, there was a (short line) but while I was in line.... at 11:22am they yelled out "pulled pork sold out". I was prepped ahead, so I wasn't surprised... was a bit disappointed I couldn't try it tho.. but there's always a next time!
We wanted to order 3 meat lunch plate just to have a taste of all the meats they offer. However during time when we place an order, we were recommended a trinity tray to share among 2 people. So we ordered a trinity + 1 extra sausage (to try the other kind they got) plus we ordered 1/2lb of turkey since it doesn't come with turkey. After seeing how 1/2 lb of brisket was only 2 slices.. we ordered 1lb of brisket on the side (approx 4 slices) to eat/to go. {total was $92}
I love the brisket so so so so so much. Soft, tender, juicy. Though it has a bit of fat on it (that's what made it flavorful and juicy)... I ended up cutting the fat out cause it was a bit too greasy after a few bites for me.
Turkey: surprisingly juicy and tender. Would order again.
Ribs: Not favor to my tasting. It was Texas smoked style and taste was good but the meat has the chewy texture. I like my ribs to be falling off the bone kind.
Sausages: I didn't like either one of them (bradwurst and jalapeno). The sausage was too hard/dry and too salty.
Sides: we had potato salad, coleslaw, pinto beans and they all unique of their own. Pinto beans is fulled of smokeyness flavor, excellent paring with the slice of bread they provide. Coleslaw was fresh and not over dressed. Potato salad was mild, but filling.
Dessert of the day: Coconut cream pie! (one of my fav dessert of all times... so maybe I am bias) It wasn't too sweet, has a strong coconut taste but not heavy. The whip cream wasn't freshly whipped but the pie itself was a good ending to a meal. (however I had the pie in between my meats lol)
The meat was really heavy..and greasy. That 2 slice (1/2 lb) of brisket from the trinity tray ... we (2 people) couldn't even finish since we had sides and pie. Everything adds up. No wonder when I ordered, the man who cuts the meant said "1/2 lb of meat goes a long way!" so true
Very convenience that they have butcher paper for you to self sever and wrap your food to go.
Environment: self serve. Open kitchen with raw meat cutting and being process (I don't mind it and find it entertaining). They have open space as well as outdoor for seats. Good for groups.
*There's a vinegar/ bbq sauce beside the cashier...free. Be sure to give it a try especially when the meat is so heavy..and kinna greasy, and you're like..done*
*To reheat left over meat or to go meat: warm in oven at low heat, wrapped*
