| - I don't say this lightly - I love barbeque. I mean, I really love it. I love Texas barbeque, Memphis, Carolina, Kansas City, dry rub, sauced; you name it, I love it. When I travel I get barbeque wherever I possibly can. I have been known to reroute my connecting flight in order to get some wonderful barbeque. I have eaten it everywhere and I'm here to tell you that these guys in this weird, unlikely location are making some pretty decent BBQ.
I tried three items. Beef brisket is my favorite so I went for that first. It was thinly sliced, juicy and delicious. It had a nice smoked flavor. Smoking, of course is the the key to any good BBQ. These guys smoke their own meat right at the place and you can tell immediately. I will say that I prefer brisket to be sliced thicker, about 1/4" thick with some fat. Slicing it this thin can really dry it out.
I also tried the pulled pork. A thing of beauty. Wonderfully juicy and tender with little areas of char and smoke. Lastly I tried a cut that I've never heard of; they call it pork brisket but it is really the pectoral muscle of the pig. It has a similar grain and texture to beef brisket. It was uniquely delicious with it's own spice right on the meat.
That's not all. These guys have the most amazing selection of sauces I've ever tried. There were no less than ten options, all of which you can try on the way in. Each one had us amazed. There are regional classics like Kansas City and Carolina mustard but also very unique sauces like balsamic and onion, or Scorched berry. It was difficult to decide which to try so we got four different ones. (By the way, sauce should never be ON the meat - it's something you should apply yourself).
Service was very friendly. Highly recommended.
