| - Husband and I tried this place out a few nights ago as he overheard some co-workers talking about it. Being that it is on the North side of town, must be they get a lot of service members as the cashier asked my husband if he were military with no hesitation. We received a discount which is always nice.
Moving on, it is a quick-serve BBQ joint, which I wasn't aware of until we got there. You order what you want, move down the line, pick your sides and meats, and then get rung up for the meal. Three types of sauces and drink machines are centrally located.
I chose to get the two-meat platter. The brisket was kind of dry and did not have a really good smokey flavor I would expect. Most of it tasted more like a roast, which I don't want when I ask for brisket. If I want a roast, I can slow cook one myself. I can't make myself a brisket as I don't have a smoker - so this was a bit of a disappointment.
I also had the spicy sausage with cheddar, and my husband had the regular sausage - these were so, so good. I would go back for the sausage. My husband also got the pulled pork, which he said was good, but I did not have any.
As for sides - we got four in total: mac-n-cheese: hard to mess up, this one was fine. Baked potato casserole - basically mashed taters with cheese melted on top and chives, I liked it as it was very smooth, but with good flavor. Also had the BBQ beans - OK, nothing special, and the coleslaw - dry, it needed more liquid ingredient.
Overall for BBQ the price isn't too bad, but you aren't getting the very best quality BBQ. You can definitely find better BBQ elsewhere in the Valley, but if you want something quick and you don't want it from a sit-down restaurant this isn't a bad option.
