| - Stopped in a Sunday evening to get a sampling of BBQ to enjoy the next couple of days (I ate this for 3 days!). The parking lot was packed, but my wait was super short. I think the longest part was me deciding what to get. Young lady at the register was friendly and patient. The woman who gave me my order was friendly and opened up all of the boxes to explain what they were and make sure everything was in there. She also gave me samples of all of their sauces.
-Brisket Sandwich $8.29. Lots of meat! I'd guess half a pound? Meat was chopped up, moist and tender, kinda made me think I was eating pot roast, but it was really good. I would get this again!
-Pulled Pork Pick Two Meat Sampler $8.99. Good. Moist. 1/4lbs or 4oz
-Pulled Chicken Pick Two Meat Sampler $8.99. Good. Moist. 1/4lbs or 4oz
-Baby Back Ribs $2.39 each bone. Ordered two bones and received a bigger portion size than expected. Meat was moist and definitely fell off the bone, but to me that is over cooked. Rib meat should easily pull off the bone, not fall into pieces as you try to pick up a rib. Also, to me this tasted extremely salty. Like I was shocked at how salty the meat was.
-Spare Ribs $2.19 each bone. Ordered two bones and received a bigger portion size than expected. Meat was firmer than the baby back ribs and while still a little salty, not as as bad as the baby backs.
-Baked Beans with Brisket $2.04. A-Okay, but the first night I munched on this it tasted really fatty to me. Next day it was fine so IDK what was up with that.
-Coleslaw $1.89. Much needed light and refreshing side. Nothing special, but satisfying.
-Cheesy Potatoes $2.14. Just added some black pepper and it was freaking delicious! Very hearty so it helped to split it and not eat it all in one sitting.
-Mac & Cheese $2.09. Good, but does lean towards the mac & cheese you find in a crockpot at a family get together. Again, not bad at all, not dried out or anything, I just prefer a creamy cheese sauce. Still a nice comfort food side.
-Cornbread 79ยข. Satisfying portion size. Texture is perfect, moist with a couple whole kernels inside. I just like my cornbread with a little more buttery/sweet flavor. Could picture breaking this up over a bowl of chili and enjoying.
-Sauces. They have 6 flavors and you can find, sweet, spicy, smokey, vinegary varieties. I personally could not pick one that really did it for my taste buds, but none of them were bad at all. I think I was just overwhelmed, might be better to get just two at time.
Very nice to find they don't skimp on sides and that the sizes are about a cup. Ordered one slice of cornbread, but got three in my order so I was a little confused if cornbread came with any of the meals or they just threw extras in there. Pleasantly surprised by the meat portions and that all of the meat was moist. Also think the pricing is reasonable and appropriate.
For just opening I think they have done a good job (probably due to their experience since this is a chain). All in all, I think this is a solid chain place, really enjoyed some things and thought other things were just okay. I would like to check them out again, give things a second shot.
