| - Stopped in for lunch with hubby and friend. The place smelled incredible, just like a smokehouse, which is cool because this is at the end of a strip mall. I would have gave 5 stars for my pulled pork sandwich and fries. Pork was excellent-tender, full of flavor. Liked having a choice of 3 bbq sauces.
My husband ordered a shrimp po' boy, and was surprised to get a salad with shrimp on top. Now, he could have sent it back, but since we were on lunch break and it took about 20 minutes to get our food, I split my pulled pork sandwich with him. My husband is 6'3" and loves bbq, a shrimp salad wasn't going to cut it! The shrimp itself was good and also the potato salad that came along with it, but the salad was made with iceberg lettuce-some other green would have been better. I felt that it cheapened the entire dish.
Our friend ordered the 2 meat platter-pulled pork and brisket. With a drink his lunch came to ~$16. The platter had a generous helping of yummy fries, but the meat portions were meager for the price. I think I had about as much meat on my pulled pork sandwich as he did on his platter. For platters we'd expect to get the same amount of meat on a platter as a sandwich, he was disappointed. He said it was very tasty, but felt he didn't get his money's worth.
So five star for the pork sandwich, 1 star for getting my husbands order wrong, 3 star for the two meat platter-taste was great, portions were small for the price.
