First walk in right at 11:00 AM, I'm the only customer in the place. You know that feeling you get when NO ONE is in a restaurant you walk into, it's like uh oh, this place must be bad?! As I stand looking around, asking my self if I really want to stay, I am greeted by Celeste, she kindly tells me to have a seat anywhere I like. She honestly made me feel welcome right away, so I decide heck yeah I'm eating here! Celeste and I strike up a conversation about BBQ, and she tells me all about the sausage that is ground in house, and how much pride and time is put into the food at SNS. Then she tells me something that means a lot to a true BBQ aficionado, they serve the smoked meats here WITHOUT SAUCE!!!! Ever wonder why most places serve Q drowning in sauce? its because they are hiding the fact that they can't smoke good Q! Not here, SNS serves some kick ass Q, and they don't cover everything in sauce because they let the flavor of the meat and smoke shine.
I ordered the three meat combo with one side.
Brisket
Pulled pork
Ribs
Smoked beans
EPIC MEAL!! Brisket had a wonderful pink smoke ring and was cooked perfectly. Pulled pork was so tender and buttery, like pork heaven. Those ribs are unreal, full of flavor, meaty and oh so tender!! Smoked baked beans are also full of flavor with the perfect balance of sweet and heat.
Hands down one of the best Q restaurants I have experienced. Celeste is a wonderful lady and made me feel so at home, and the food is full of love and pride!
Oh and that empty restaurant I walked into, quickly filled up 5 minutes after I walked in!!
P.S. That cup of beans was full to the top but I snuck several bites before I took the pic! Muahaha
