The brisket journey though Madison continues!
We love BBQ. I like my ribs and hubby likes his brisket. This review focuses on the brisket because hubby has some very particular preferences. I'm not as fussy nor a rib connoisseur so I'll pass that task to someone else.
Brisket can either be served wet or dry. Double S serves a wet BBQ. To pull off a dry BBQ, you really have to know how to smoke a brisket properly. We feel that serving it wet gives you some "wiggle room" in the prep. The brisket at Double S had more of a pot roast taste and texture. Hubby was pleased it wasn't fatty as often is his experience with brisket. And although tasty, it did not measure up to a perfectly smoked dry brisket.
The restaurant was nice, well decorated and bathroom up to date. The main downside of Double S was the limited menu. We were surprised the standard BBQ chicken and BBQ pulled pork wasn't part of the menu. But perhaps this allows them to attempt to specialize in the brisket, ribs and sausage (the 3rd entree which we didn't order).
