| - I kept seeing friends check into this spot and the pictures they were posting literally had me drooling. I had to try it out. After browsing the menu for a bit, I called in an order for pickup. I spoke with James who was very pleasant. He took my order and told me it would be 10-15 minutes. Jessie Rae's is approximately 2.6 miles from work, so I jumped in my car on my lunch break on 2/15/16 and headed over. If you have any kind of navigation device on your phone it will lead you right to the place. Yes, it's small and the location is in a commercial complex, but there is visible signage from Valley View. Matter of fact it's right off Valley View and Dewey. ANyway I ordered a 2 meat combo, and went with the sausage and brisket. The combo comes with one side and I choose slaw, but opted to get an additional side of mac and cheese.
The Good
-Customer service was great. As I said James was very pleasant both over the phone and in person when I picked up my order. He hand delivered the food to me and showed me the food before closing up the box. You can tell he takes pride in what he does.
-The pig sweat bbq sauce was amazing. It's a vinegar based sauce which happens to be my fav, and it was fucking delicious. It was so good that I drank it out of the little cup (don't judge me).
-The sausage was really good. It was chopped up into bite size pieces, perfect for popping into my mouth. It was a bit well done but that is actually how I prefer it. It had just the right amount of spice and a lot of flavor. I would order this again.
The slaw-oh em gee this shit was amazing. It was tangy and creamy and the cabbage was fresh and had a nice crunch to it. I would order this again.
-The price was super reasonable. I ordered a 2 meat combo and 2 sides for around $17.50.
The Bad
-The mac and cheese was not good. Although it looked tasty, it tasted like when you were younger and your mom would make you eat reheated Kraft mac and cheese the next day. It was very dry and had a lot of pepper mixed throughout. I can't see myself ordering this again.
-The brisket. Contrary to other reviews this brisket was not dry at all, in fact it was very tender and had good smoky flavor. While it was tasty, it was very fatty. You will have to see my pic to understand what I mean. I would think twice about ordering this again.
All in all though I think this place is pretty good. I love supporting local businesses and there are a few things I want to try out like the ribs and pulled pork. I will for sure be back.
