I had a co-worker mention that this is their family's favorite place, since we live just up the road I thought "awesome." *sigh* My husband ran down there to grab take out and was immediately struck by the decor, which was fairly upscale... for it's business, it's location... for BBQ, and to top it off had a misogynistic poster of "how bbq is made". I understand it is a joke, but is that the right place for that joke? Maybe it would be better served on their Facebook wall instead of their dinning room wall. In his t-shirt and shorts he felt a bit scrubby being in there and chose to wait for the food outside.
Pretension aside, the BBQ wasn't great. We got the burnt ends which were very tasty and the best item we got, but also extraordinarily fatty and not a great value at $11. The pulled pork was the best of the meats. We also sampled the chicken (lovely and smoky but dry), brisket (worst, by far the worst brisket I've ever had in fact, dry, fatty and tough), and the ribs (also dry and tough). From the other reviews it sounds like we should have gotten the mac & cheese but instead we got the beans which were oddly chili beans and not BBQ beans, and the chips. My chips were well cooked and seasoned but half of my son's order were soft and half-raw. The pulled pork was tender, but pulled pork is forgiving and we weren't impressed. Their rub is fairly spicy and we all felt the heat detracted from the experience. I'm all for spicy BBQ, but I think it should be in the sauce so you can adjust it. We couldn't do anything about it being cooked into the meat that way.
Overall I expect we will not be back to Porkoplis despite the convenient location. We've got too many great locations like Joe's, Rudy's, and Famous Dave's even, that are worth driving a little further for.
