I was raised on Texas pit bbq, so that's what I'm accustomed to and what I prefer. My first trip to Hap's was so-so. I ordered a brisket sammie, potato salad, old settler beans, peach cobbler and an iced tea. That all totaled $17 and change which is a bit steep.
Brisket sammie - overall it was pretty good. Bun was fresh. Difficult to taste the meat alone since it was drenched in sauce.
Potato salad - nothing to write home about. One of the least favorite potato salads I've had.
Old Settler Beans - THIS is what the Hatfields & McCoy's have been fighting over for decades. These were the best cowboy beans I've had in a pit joint. It's likely due to the bacon and leftover beef they thrown into the mix. Great spicy & smoky flavor.
Peach cobbler - not too bad. I got my meal "to go" so I didn't get it ala mode.
All in all - not a bad experience. I'll revise my rating after I try the other meats - chicken, pulled pork, hot link & ribs.
