| - My order: brisket, smoked sausage, potatoes, jalapeno beans, jalapeno corn bread, berry pie. Total for order: just over $13.
Portions:Small (especially for a bbq place)
Sauce: Bland, typical. What you would find in a bottle in a grocery store. Even the spicy was not good at all.
The food: The brisket was a complete disaster. I did the pull test to see if it was cooked properly. A properly cooked brisket will be slightly elastic, but will pull apart when pulled. This brisket pulled apart with no give whatsoever. Overcooked. The flavor of the brisket, well, was nowhere to be found. No smoke ring, no smoke flavor, no real seasoning to be tasted. I have had better brisket made in an oven. I wonder if this brisket really spent any significant time in a smoker...
The sausage was average, nothing special at all. Again, no smoke flavor to be found.
The sides: the potatoes were good. The beans were good. Neither was amazing, but I ate them happily. The jalapeno cornbread was nasty. It lacked any taste besides jalapeno. Very bland.
Desert: The pie was actually really good. I would come here to get a whole pie in the future. I am serious, the pie here was quite good.
Comments: The staff was really nice and seemed to stand behind their food. However, their positive and welcoming attitude did not make up for the fact that this BBQ is weak. I cannot give them another chance, because for the prices they charge I cannot risk another meal of this caliber. Besides the pie, very disappointed and I would never eat here again. Too bad, their staff was really nice...
