Let's just say I've consumed A LOT of bbq, and this place is....okay. I couldn't decide between 3 stars and 4 stars, but decided to go with 3 because I'm on the fence and couldn't get passed their fried okra.
So, to put the visit in a nutshell and cap the food: their meats are good. My brisket wasn't as hot as I'd have preferred in when served, but it happens. Their sauces are delicious, so I was happy.
What I was VERY disappointed in was their fried okra. The okra was mushy. Fried okra is not supposed to be super mushy. Sorry. Not good. I think part of it is the way they cut it like french fries rather than in rounds like most places do (including how my grandma used to make fried okra.)
Bell's leaves a little bit to be desired, but if you're in the area and have a hankering for some bbq, I wouldn't count this place out by any means.
Would I come back here? Probably.
Would I recommend this place to others? Absolutely, with the caveat of "do not order their fried okra." Lol.
