Reviews
We ordered: Brisket, collard greens, okra, and Macaroni and Cheese – killer. The Mac was pricy, so I had high hopes; it was amazing and worth the price.
The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend.
I ordered the brisket plate with collard greens and potato salad, while my fiancée ordered the ribs plate with mac and cheese and collard greens. We also ordered chicken wings. Upon receiving our order, I noticed that I was given macaroni salad instead of the potato salad I ordered. Additionally, my fiancée mentioned that while placing the order, he had to repeatedly restate items, which made the experience feel rushed and as if our business was not valued.
The brisket contained significantly more fat than meat, requiring me to remove much of it. The collard greens had a tangy flavor and were difficult to chew, which was unexpected. The chicken wings lacked seasoning and flavor, and we had to add our own BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper at home.
Our total came to approximately $80, and for that price point, we were hoping for a much better experience. Unfortunately, we were left disappointed. While we do not plan to return, we genuinely hope the owners and cooks can use this feedback to improve for future customers.
I wish that there was more allergen information on the BBQ bottles and menu options. I would also love to see one of those sugar packet holders but with the wet wipes for cleaning your hands after.
Can’t wait to stop in again to try their other options!
I was pretty miffed at waiting I think 20 minutes before we could even place our order with only 1 party of three in front of us and even they had to wait about 10 minutes to order.
If it’s going to take one guy several minutes to delicately slice and weigh meat down to the gram, you might need another staff member up front. Somehow three isn’t cutting it.
I changed my stars around for whatever that counts for. I’m a fan of the condiment/sauce bar, it’s got a good selection of good tasting options. I’m hoping this business will continue to be successful and improve.
To start: I’m incredibly excited for more BBQ options. I grew up in the south eating Oklahoma and Texas style BBQ. It’s safe to say I’ve had my fair share. I’ve missed BBQ since I moved up here.
Unfortunately I’m not sure this joint deserves the moniker “Texas-style”.
I ordered quite a bit for my first time as I wanted to get a good feeling of a fair amount of the menu.
The meats —
Brisket – Sliced is the only option it seems, it’s dry. Far too dry. It was also lukewarm by the time I got to my table. I would give these a fair grade if a buddy of mine made it, but for a restaurant, this was poor.
Ribs – these are St Louis style ribs, they are chewy, not tender, they don’t slide off the bone, the seasoning was good but nothing special. It got stuck in my teeth quite a bit from the stringy chewy meat. These were okay
Pulled pork – truly bad. Like seriously do not order this. It was COLD stringy (honestly it was a tangle of very long very thin stranded meat, more like eating noodles than pulled pork) it did not taste good and it was very oxidized like it had been sitting out for too long.
Sides —–
Okra – this may be called okra on the menu and there may be okra inside of these but this is not “Fries Okra” I’m sorry. This was very poor. They weren’t fully cooked through, and the batter was the strangest concoction. Frozen okra from the store is better than this.
Mac and cheese – this was good, it has a thick creamy consistency and decent flavor. Nice and hot temperature, overall “good”
Cowboy beans – this was also surprisingly good. I was worried it was too many things in a complicated bowl. One critique is that you really should add some chopped brisket with smaller pieces rather than the 2 half inch chunks I had in my entire bowl. Better dispersion of the meat would have made this side very good.
Cornbread – it’s tough. I think they said it’s a jalapeño cornbread but you can’t really taste it. This wasn’t quite hard as a brick, but it was close. Poor
Apple cobbler – this was bad. Truly bad. It was overly sweet. I don’t have a great palete, but It tastes like I had a mouthful of honey with a hint of apple. It has the consistency of mashed potatoes. The breading on this was not crispy, not flaky, just mush. Extremely poor.
I really want this to be a restaurant I frequent. I LOVE good BBQ, but I’m really sorry to say this is not good BBQ.
The last thing I want to touch on is price. My FAVORITE championship BBQ restaurant in the world is literally half this price. I understand it’s logistically more expensive to have a restaurant here than it is in Oklahoma or Texas, but in Oklahoma I’m paying $25 for twice the amount of food, as compared to the $31 single meat brisket platter…
Oh and the sauces were okay, unique but not great.
I’m very sorry to say, 2-stars.
