Michele had a Groupon deal for Top Notch BBQ and we came here after watching a movie down the street. We walk in and were immediately greeted and taken to a booth. Our waitress realized that our table wasn't wiped down, so she cleaned it really quick. Now I admit, I am a fan of Rollin Smoke BBQ just west of the strip, and Top Notch was going to have to be on their game to keep up. So, I used Rollin Smoke as Top Notch's comparison and ended up ordering close to the same thing. But more of that later. Anyhow, we looked through the menu as our waitress went to get our drinks that we ordered. As we were waiting, we set our table with the forks & knives that were in a jar on the table. An interesting touch. Our drinks come out and our main dish order was written down.
There were 3 of us and this is what we ordered:
M: Brisket with a double order of sweet potatoes
G: Mac 'n Cheese
Me: Ribs with a double order of fries.
The food came out piping hot and the portions were huge. The ribs were stellar and the fries seemed endless. I had a taste of the brisket but wasn't blown away. But, to be fair, brisket isn't my favorite. The sweet potaoes were the way I should have went. It was delicious. The meal was so huge that I ended up taking half of my order home, where a couple of hours later I devoured the leftovers.
So, I say that Top Notch vs Rollin Smoke is a close battle. But, I would give the edge to Top Notch.
