Reviews
Beef brisket was a tad dry, and I kind of wish it was a bit fattier.
Hot links were AMAZING. Cooked well, nice heat, crispy, and full of flavor.
Sadly the bread was toasted and buttered. (It should be soft white bread not Texas toast)
The pickled onion and pickles are crispy and sweet.
The Mac and cheese left a lot to be desired and some of the cheese wasn’t even melted.
The coleslaw is too thick, and had paprika sprinkled on it. Not a fan at all.
Most importantly are the sauces though. Some of them are ok, and a few are just bad. The sweet Asian one, definitely needs to be reworked. The “hot one” with the added peppers also added tobasco sauce. So while the front flavor was good with nice heat the only thing you taste after you swallow is the over whelming tobasco flavor and vinegar.
All in all, I enjoyed the BBQ. A few things could be done better and the sauces reworked a bit. I’m pretty sure Texas ruined my expectations for BBQ, cause this is definitely the place to get that fix.
Only downsides are the service is always pretty slow, even when we’re only one of a couple people in on a early afternoon. And it’s petty, but the pop is always flattish and weird tasting, I wish they’d upgrade the fountain pop. Other than that, I love this place.
Visit #2
Went there for dinner, driving past three closer BBQ places, just to mix it up a little and add variety. Sign said seat yourself, which is a little weird during the busy dinner time, but whatever. There were no open tables, wait staff said we could sit at the bar, we said we’d just wait for a table and they said OK.
A few minutes later a couple leaves, and we go to their table. We wait there a very long time, waiting for someone to clear the table. Then when someone does show up, we are told Karaoke will be set up in a half hour. The only option offered was we could sit at the bar. They never offered to just let us have the next available table, so we left.
Sad part was we walked to another restaurant, had great service, then got some frozen custard. When we finally drove past Hogs Hollow on the way home, the parking was not nearly as full, and I was looking forward to some BBQ.
