I so desperately wanted to like this place. I'm originally from Texas and crave good BBQ. There are 4 things that I look for in a good TEXAS BBQ joint:
1. Must have brisket (and the brisket must be tender and fall apart, also it shouldn't be too fatty or dry)
2. Must have sweet tea
3. Must have white bread (I know it sounds ridiculous if you're not from Texas but this is a staple in EVERY Texas BBQ joint, believe me)
4. Must have good sauce for the meat.
1. They do have brisket and it wasn't too dry or fatty. It didn't seem quite as tender as I like it but it was fairly good.
2. They do have sweet tea.
3. The plates didn't come out with white bread. Fine, I thought. I'll just ask for some. Nope. No white bread or any bread on the premises. They have cornbread which was very dry and spicier than I expected. It was not my favorite. (For anyone who hasn't had BBQ in Texas -- you use the bread to make a little BBQ "taco" with the brisket. Take a slice of bread, add brisket and sauce and then fold in half.)
4. They do 2 sauces and they were ok. Nothing spectacular.
Double S, if you're listening, you could easily get a loyal customer. Just offer some bread with BBQ and consider adding other meat options. I'm a bit surprised there was no chicken. Bread and chicken would get you at least 2 more stars.
