This place has a lot of work to do before it can take the training wheels off. Ate here a couple weeks ago with my husband and we were disappointed to learn that the brew part of the Brew and BBQ was yet to be set up as we were looking forward to it. The wings were decent and the staff was friendly. My husband loved his brisket. However, the pulled pork sandwich left a lot to be desired. The pork wasn't as tender as it could have been and the sauce was okay. But what I considered a sin against this sandwich was that the bun was toasted - and buttered. Buttered! Hey BStB+BBQ, sure the pork itself could use a little TLC, but don't sabatoge it with that awful fake buttery aftertaste. Let that pork shine through! The chef came over to ask how our meal was and I had to hold back from slapping his hand and scolding him. The baked beans tasted like they were from a can.
Also, a friend wanted to get some pork and brisket by the pound from here for a Memorial Day bash and was told that they don't do that - what! Have you ever heard of a barbecue place that doesn't sell by the pound? Figure out the pricing and put it on your menu. My friend then asked for the sandwiches but the components separated so guests could assemble their own sandwiches, but he was instead given eight fully put together meals. It was upsetting that BStB+BBQ couldn't pull this together for our party and missed out on the opportunity to spread the word about their food.
I want this place to work out. The staff is so friendly and it's within walking distance of my house. The food is almost there. We are going to try again in a few weeks and hopefully they'll have the kinks worked out.
