Yelp should seriously institute some sort of rating system where the worst reviews can be withheld due to stupidity. Some highlights from the lowest reviews:
Denise R.:
"It thrown on a paper plate and served in a sloppy fast food style."
It's a barbeque joint. These places typically do not come with the white glove treatment. And to top it off, her Yelp quote says "It is always the simple that produces the marvelous." Live by your own mottos Denise.
Dura K.:
"to be specific if u like the whitest white meat chicken with a smear of nonengaging BBQ sauce, this is for u."
What does the "whitest white meat chicken" even mean? I doubt many people who go to Bryan's go there for the chicken...
Donna B.:
"The worse thing was the smokey aftertaste"
Donna calls herself a foodie and then proceeds to complain about the smoky aftertaste AT A BARBEQUE RESTAURANT! This is seriously one of the dumbest things I've ever read on Yelp. She then tries to shore up her ignorance by stating that her friends are Texans.
Another common theme with the lower star ratings seems to be with the sauce. Some people tend to feel the sauce was too "watery." I'm really not a fan of the KC style sauce but I understand if that is your thing. I guess I'm just not a fan of covering a pile of slow cooked pork with a ton of super sweet and thick sauce. Instead I chose to review Bryan's for what they do extremely well, and that's prepare a phenomenal pulled pork sandwich. Plenty of smoky flavor (sorry Donna), tender, delicious bits of smoky bark, not over sauced, juicy, and on a nice soft bun that doesn't get in the way of the meat. They also feature a nice selection of premium craft beers. I'm a happy man when I come here.
Look people, it is obviously your right to say whatever you want on here (god bless America.) It's also obvious that the owner of this place did his homework and it shows in his product. When you look past the ridiculous comments about silverware and the like you will find IMHO the best BBQ I've had to date.
