| - I will start with the positives. The staff is friendly, the service is very good. The restaurant is clean. It hasn't changed much since it was Billy's BBQ before. I got a 1/2 pound of brisket. The brisket was tender and seasoned well. But here are the negatives. I grew up on Texas BBQ and one Cardinal Sin is that you DO NOT sauce the brisket. Sauce is served on the side and optional for those who want it. While the sauce was just drizzled on the meat, it still was wrong. And the sauce they served on the side was not good at all. I tossed it and used my own sauce at the house. I also wanted potato salad, but they make it with onions, which I still have problems comprehending why people would do this?! All you can taste is the onions, and not the potatoes! I'm glad I asked though, because I was informed that they garnish the brisket with chives, too?! What the... ?! Most of my favorite places in Texas have plenty of onions, pickles and peppers for those who want to add that to your meal, there is no need to take anything away from the meat, if your meat is good... and theirs is! Since the potato salad had onions, I opted for the mac & cheese. It was ok. Didn't have much flavor and it looked like it had big pepper flakes scattered in it. It's nothing I would get again. I would definitely get the brisket here again, but tell them no sauce or chives next time. It, along with the staff, service and cleanliness is why I'm giving it three stars.
