Great old-fashioned BBQ spot. Went with a group of guys and ordered the family feast which is an amazing deal.
- Beef Brisket - One of the juiciest and flavourful beef briskets I've ever had! The bring it out chopped up in big chucks vs traditional slices. The owner gets the brisket from the US at some special butcher. It's a premium cut of meat and you can clearly tell. Seasoning was just perfect. Lots of great smoke flavour with a good bit of sugar.
- Ribs - Great dry-rub, heavy on the garlic but seems to work perfectly. The ribs are maybe a bit too tender and don't have that classic BBQ toughness that you look for. I didn't see a smoke ring on either the Back or the Side ribs, unsure why not. Delicious either way though. St. Louis Style ribs are more flavourful so if you are only going to get one type I recommend those.
- Pulled Pork - this was good but it is def not the best out of the ones we had. Would be great for a pulled-pork sandwich but is sauce heavy. Not a great BBQ addition usually anywhere you go unless served with lots of juicy barque and fat..in this case it's just pretty standard.
- Side: We had waffle fries, coleslaw, mac and cheese and potato salad all of which were great but we hardly touched them as were focused on the meat.
You won't be disappointed with this place if you are a BBQ fan. I think many of the people who aren't satisfied don't really know what BBQ is supposed to taste like. If you like dry-rub smoked premium cuts of meat that go here!
Tip: The owner is pretty pride of his corned-beef. Worth trying but not true BBQ.
