| - I tried one of their sandwiches at a street festival ages ago, so I was very excited when I found out this place now does delivery. Ever since Phil's closed, the neighborhood has lacked solid BBQ.
We ordered the sampler for two, which has three meats and three sides. I was not overly impressed. The brisket was nice, and the ribs were good but the portions were small for the price. 1/3 rack of ribs and enough brisket for one sandwich isn't what comes to mind when a dinner is advertised as being a platter for "two" people.
I didn't care for the sausage: I found it had too much fennel. It was akin to eating meat liquorice. I don't dislike fennel but I found this overpowering.
The sides were also a bit of a letdown. The potatoes and cauliflower came in "small fry" sized boxes. These were single portions. Potatoes are cheap, so at least give your customers a big portion of those.
The cauliflower was supposed to be in a cream sauce, but what we received came with a paltry amount of oily, watery, white liquid in the very bottom of the box.
The asparagus was fine, but nothing so exciting that I couldn't have made myself.
We also got an order of wings, which tasted great, but once again, I was expecting more than 8 small wings for $12.
If I were to order from here again, I would probably just stick to a brisket or chicken sandwich. But that is a pretty big "if" given the price we spent for a so-so meal.
