Reviews
I was excited to try a new BBQ place, especially one on campus. Unfortunately, my brisket sandwich was cold, the spicy sauce wasn’t spicy (and I had added hot sauce to it as well), and my garlic fries had a hair in it (and they were lukewarm). There was no one in line ahead of me, and the place was sparsely populated at 1230pm.
After this experience, and reading other reviews where this seems to be the norm rather than the exception, I’m tapping out. Normally I would give it another try, but I just don’t feel like rolling those dice. It’s a shame too, the location is great, but the food isn’t.
The meat on my ribs literally fell off the bone. It was sooo flavorful and juicy that both me and my friend stopped and admired the taste. This place is a gem on stanfords campus and its a great deal for what you get. The brisket was juicy but also crisp and the sausage was stellar. Garlic fries from this place are made how all garlic fries should be. Warm, crispy, and gently coated in garlic. (I added some parmasean to enhance the flavor). The coleslaw was also a pretty nice accent to the meal. Overall, id say that this place is amazing and worth it. I highly recommend others to come and try it out.
Ps. Im writing this post just a few hrs of eating there and i already want to go back for dinner.. even though im still full.. it just tastes so good and u cant get anything like this on campus or in the surrounding stanford area.
Ice. Cold. Food.
Nobody was happier than I was that a new place to eat had opened up on the Stanford Campus; the once-thriving culinary scene here had mostly vanished under Covid. Even more enticing that it’s a BBQ joint.
The smell should’ve been the first sign; there wasn’t one. No mouth-watering cloud of hickory, oak, apple, meat. No smoke at all.
The light lunchtime crowd was understandable; place had just opened and students and faculty have yet to come back in any numbers. But a few scattered diners quietly noshed in a spotless dining room.
Counter service was fine, if a bit aloof. I wasn’t expecting a maître d’ to work the room, but a molecule of gratitude for one’s patronage goes a long way.
But, when the combo plate finally made it to the counter, it would’ve been nice to have it announced. The first rib wasn’t frozen, but cool under a sheen of cooler sauce. Ditto for the brisket, which must’ve been excellent when it was warm. Surprisingly, the pulled pork maintained some vestige of warmth, which made all the difference; it was delicious! Alas the chicken and “hot” link were also served chilled. Maybe should’ve considered the generous beer and wine selections.
I’d since returned twice more; maybe they were just finding their wings. But the same cold meats plagued every visit, and that simply should not be the case. It’s barbecue!
