| - Like anyone else I appreciate locally owned and operated places, and I wish Dillons all the success in the world (I found their service both friendly and fast), but seriously, this BBQ sucks.
I had pork spare ribs and brisket because these are the two most difficult cuts to get right. Texturally, the brisket was fine, if a bit dry. The ribs were underdone (the bones did not come clean as they should when properly prepared, and they were tough because of this). The ribs and the brisket both had only the slightest hint of smoke flavor... they were seriously undersmoked.
To top it off, their sauces (mild and "cajun" - which is not hot at all, though I suspect they cater to the Sun City palate) were both savory sauces dominated by the flavor of mustard and vinegar. How anybody can judge either of these sauces delicious is a mystery to me. I found them both horrible.
One bite of each meat was all I could manage.
Sides were a mixed bag. The mac and cheese was delicious (thank you, thank you!) - but the baked beans were chili beans and were... gross. I suspect they were made using the sauce, so it's not terribly surprising I didn't like them. I had their chicken wings as an appetizer, they were pretty good. They are prepared like fried chicken and come with the sauce on the side. It was agreeably hot and delicious... but then again, it wasn't BBQ.
