So...went here with a buddy tonight to get some grub. Turned out to be just ok.
I scoped out their menu online a few days before and noticed that they had chicken wings as an appetizer. There was an asterisk that comes with them though. They only have them "when available", or if you order them 24 hours in advance. I called them up Wed night and placed my order for a pound ($10.95). I picked up my wings and also tried to order a 1/4 lb of brisket. They told me they could only do 1/2 lb....why? I don't know and didn't ask. So a pound of wings, 1/2 lb of brisket ($10.00!) and a drink ran me almost $ 25.00. Paid them my money, took my stuff and went to the room in the back. The place is set up weird IMO...it's a counter in the front, then you have to walk to a back room to eat. It feels like they are 2 separate buildings. Their floors were slippery too btw...grease? Anyways....on to the food.
Brisket- Eh...just ok. It was chunked brisket and almost more like burnt ends. It was smoked properly and you could see the red smoke ring etc. I took a bite and I got the "pot roast" taste. Maybe I just don't like brisket as much as the next guy? I will find out for sure when I go to Texas next May :-). For the price of $10.00 for a 1/2 lb, it was a bit pricey. Hell....Franklin BBQ in Austin only charges $17.00 a pound and that's considered the best in the world. This was $ 20.00 a lb and I didn't even think it was that great. Oh well.
Chicken Wings- First of all, nobody has reviewed these things or uploaded a picture of them. Until now.......The wings were plentiful. They gave me a whole tray full of wings and it seemed way over a pound. Maybe I got hooked up? For $10.95 it's a great deal. The wings were alright. They were smoked properly and tasted pretty good. I didn't add any sauce because of my low carbing but some sauce may have improved them a bit. Since they were smoked and weren't grilled or fried, they did come out a bit soggy. Not bad though and I would get them again for sure!
Overall this place was just ok. I would get the wings again but not the brisket. Service was ok...a tad too " chill" and laid back though but whatever. They were youngsters and they were nice at least. It was getting close to closing too so I bet they were anxious to get the hell out of dodge. Will I be back? Yeah, probably. It is right near work and does fit my low carb diet options. I will be on the lookout for better BBQ in Phoenix though. A OK for now. 3 stars.
