| - Listen to me: this is good barbecue. I spent a large portion of my young adult years in Memphis, TN, so I know good barbecue. I repeat, this is good barbecue.
My family and I arrived for dinner last Friday at 6:45pm and were seated quickly, which was delightful. We all ordered the beef brisket sandwiches. This is what you should know:
First, the smoked flavor is freaking delicious. It's been on my mind all week. I'm sure I dreamed about it, too.
Second, this barbecue is served dry. Order the barbecue sauce with your meal if you like a wetter barbecue. I ordered the sweet sauce.
Third, this meat is served with all the crispy, smoked meat pieces. Oh my god--the crispy, smoked meat pieces are my favorite part. They even sell the crispy, smoked meat pieces separately with sauce for dipping. I will continue to say crispy, smoked meat pieces until you are committed to loving them like I do.
Fourth, I would have given them 5 stars for the meat alone but I also got potato salad and bread pudding, which were not my favorites. I will say that I prefer a mustard potato salad, which this was not, so maybe you "no mustard in your potato salad" lovers would like it. I found it bland. As for the bread pudding--it totally bummed me out. It was very dry around the edges. It shouldn't be. A for effort though, because bread pudding needs to be on their menu. It just also needs some work. Lose the icing glaze on top, too, you barbecue masters!
