| - First time at Can't Stop Smoking BBQ. Dropped in on a Saturday around noon. There were four people eating in this huge place. Hmm, not a good sign.
There were plenty of options so I chose them all! I got a sampler plate (#7 on the menu) that came with pulled pork, pork ribs, brisket, sausage, two sides and choice of bread. I got Mac N Cheese plus coleslaw and a jalapeƱo cornbread muffin. It was $16.
The only way to break this down is to rate each item. Pulled pork: 4 stars; ribs: 5; brisket: 5, sausage: 3, Mac: 5, slaw: 5, muffin: 4. Value: 4. Nothing was 'bad' but some were more bland than others, like the sausage. The pulled pork, sausage and cornbread were about as good as what I make on my Weber at home. The rest of them were better than mine (Mac was way better!)
The atmosphere was very teen-centric, as was the cafeteria setup. Something can be said for a long line winding past a worn butcher block with a pit master working the knife and fork. None of that here.
