Wow, talk about taking a restaurant experience down to the bare basics -- good food.
Seating? There's a few regular tables and a long hightop bisecting the smallish dining room.
Wait staff? Nope
Menus? Nope, the listings are on a large chalkboard right behind two smiling people ready to take your order and dish out your food.
Fanciful plating? Nope. You get a metal lunch tray with a paper plate. You can grab your plastic utensils as you fill up your disposable cup with your favorite soft drink (or buy a bottle of beer).
Good food? Absolutely fantastic. I had the pulled pork sandwich and bag of chips for $9 and the pork was succulent,and smokey and had a tasty rub on it. And the barbecue sauce that sits on the table in a nondescript jar puts it over the top. The starch white bun is quite simple but it fits the traditional BBQ vibe.
Jeannene had the Chopped Beef Brisket with a side of potato salad ($10) and she saw the same attributes that I had with the pulled pork. The restaurant also has "Texas-sized" sandwiches as well as several combo platters.
We then split the one dessert on the menu -- banana pudding with Nilla wafers ($3). The traditional southern dessert had a surprisingly subtle banana taste and I also was pleasantly surprised the the pudding had a consistency more like a mousse.
Already thinking about going back for lunch next weekend.
