| - HANG UP THE PHONE! I found this total hole in the wall on Yelp, and BOY Im glad I did!
Hubbys from Texas and cant find decent brisket here despite many a valiant effort.
Until now. Heres the scoop:
This place is tucked behind a strip joint in the seedy area behind the mirage on highland drive.
In fact, if you're squeamish about going to the hood, you may want to come at lunch time rather than dinner.
If youre from out of town, dont expect much in the way of atmosphere. The decor is minimal. There are six tables total in the small front room, and maybe 6 or 8 inthe small side room. .
This place belongs on diners drive ins and dives for sure.
Service was ok. At times we had to wait a few minutes for servers to emerge from the kitchen. However, When they werent cooking, they were polite & personable.
Despite all of this, the rating is five stars for the food alone.
This food really is off the hook.
1. Biggest beef ribs ive ever seen and thats not an exaggeration. 8oz of beef on each one at least. Sooo tender .& juicy, and the sauce was perfect
2. Best brisket in town, hands down. TENDER, MOIST, unlike at every other wannabe bbq place in town.
3. The fried okra was the best ive had this side of the mississippi, OR north of the mason-dixon line. I dont like okra if its not perfectly cooked. This was. I was frankly shocked!
4. Jalapeno coleslaw was very good if a bit hot!
5. Blackberry cobbler was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
Portions are good sized & filling.
Note: Theres a soda machine tucked in an alcove thats hard to find. At first we thought all they had to drink was sweet tea with no ice lol
In short: if youre from the south and are craving authentic bbq, this place is worth the trip. Oh, and the prices are HALF that of lucilles bbq. Five stars!
