I had a 3 meat plate- brisket, pulled pork, and baby back ribs. We also had the brisket salad and a side of burnt ends. The brisket had a very thin smoke ring and was somewhat dry. No bark at all. Smoke flavor was hard to find because it was overpowered by salt. Salt permeated every inch of the brisket. The pulled pork was a bit dry and also had a lot of salt. Salt and sweet, but not in a luscious way, was the dominant feature on the burnt ends. They also had too much solid fat, not the soft, melted fat that defines a brisket that has had the fat and collagen fully rendered. The brisket salad didn't work for me, partly because I'm not a vinegar guy and the dominant flavor was from the vinaigrette dressing. Blue cheese was in the salad, along with pecans and strawberries. The blue cheese really overpowers the salad and in my opinion would be better replaced by a small amount of mild goat cheese, or removed entirely, because the brisket can't really show itself with such bold flavored cheese. The baby back ribs were good. Moist and perfectly cooked. Conclusion: If they back off the salt and replace it with more black pepper, along with adding more moisture to their smoker, then their products will shine, I'm sure. I might add that I think the service is good, and that portions are good. It m surprised to hear previous reviews complain about high prices. I think the prices are good. BBQ is an expensive item to produce."^^ . . "0"^^ .
