This is one of those restaurants I wish I could give 3 1/2 stars to because I was seriously torn between a 3 & 4 star review. We went to lunch earlier this week here and I was really excited to eat here after all the hype it's received. Our service was awesome, the lunch special was very reasonably priced and the beer choices were ok, not stellar, but we each found something that worked for us.
The beef brisket sandwich I ordered (hubby got the same thing) was the most tender I've ever been served with a decent amount of smokey flavor. I was excited that I could cut the beef with my fork and the toasted bun was pretty good & held up to the sandwich without giving way halfway through. The issue was there was no bark at all on the edges. One of the things I enjoy most about beef brisket is that little crunch and all the flavor on the edges from the rub. Nada here - where the heck was it? Also what I thought I saw on the brisket upon delivery was a sweet section of burnt end on the bottom, which I saved for last because I do love a good burnt end on the brisket. What I got was only charred fat on the end, no meat. Boooo! I'm not a novice at this, I know brisket gets its flavor from the fat melting into it as it smokes and I pulled a few pieces of fat off my brisket without even blinking but, I was really looking forward to that end crunch and I got deprived of the goody I was hoping for.
The cole slaw gets happy points from me. It was tasty and I ate every bit of it. I've seen a lot of people say it's sour which I certainly don't agree with. It was a really nice compliment to my brisket sandwich.
And now the less than happy finish.....the unisex bathrooms. YUCK!!! Let's just say that 50% of your customers are female and none of us find a lid up or wet floor decoration acceptable. Fix this or risk pissing off (pun intended) 1/2 your customers. And that's what took that 3 1/2 to a 3 vs the 4 star review your food probably deserves.
