| - While looking out the window of the shuttle bus taking me back to my car as I returned home from vacation, I noticed that Selma's was about a block away from the lot where I had parked for the week. I knew I had no food at home and since I've had Selma's bookmarked for several months, I decided to get take-out.
As I walked through the door, the patron exiting said, "I recommend the place highly." I felt confident I had made the right decision. I went with the James Aubrey's Sampler that included pulled pork, chopped brisket, turkey, hot sausage with cornbread and two sides (I went with mac n cheese and cole slaw). For sauces I went with the Original Memphis Style, Carolina Mustard Style and Kansas City Style. Because it was Wednesday, I also received a free coca-cola chocolate cupcake.
While I waited for my order, I heard that they were out of chicken. It couldn't have been later than 12:30pm. This place was pretty popular.
The standouts for me were the brisket and the sausage. Both stood on their own and did not need any sauce. The turkey wasn't bad, definitely better with some sauce (I went with the mustard style for the turkey). The pulled pork was disappointing. It had no flavor and definitely needed sauce to liven it up. The cornbread and cole slaw were nothing special. The mac n cheese was good. The cupcake was a nice surprise.
I was hoping to be more impressed since I tried a little of everything. I guess the plus side is now I know what I liked and didn't like next time I go for some ribs and/or catfish.
