The sides: Brisket beans were a perfect balance of smoky and sweet. The Mac and Cheese was rich but not heavy. The cornbread was light, fluffy, delicious.
The Star – Slow smoked chicken, I received a 1/2 bird since only chose one meat. It falls off the bone as you pick it up. It’s succulent, deeply infused with flavorful white Oak smoke and simply the best I’ve ever had. I’m certainly not a BBQ expert but lived in NC, SC and AL so had some exposure to good BBQ.
This was a wonderful experience and if you have opportunity to try it while he’s here go for it!
I will start off with the good – the ribs were probably some of the best I have ever had. Super tender and just the right amount of smoke. The baked beans were very balanced and not too sweet. The cornbread was light and airy, I could have eaten a sheet tray of it. The sauces were good, but the dipping vinegar was the star.
The bad – the poor collards were SO bland, I thought I was eating unsalted spinach. I was really missing some good collards, these were not it. The brisket was very dry and I got 3 measly pieces, one of which was a piece of gristle. The mac n cheese and coleslaw were forgettable. The banana pudding had no banana in my portion, and for $8, was a tiny cup. That is a theme here, for how much I paid I was still somewhat hungry.
I got 2 ribs, 3 teeny-tiny brisket pieces, super small portions of sauce (I’m talking maybe a bit more than a tablespoons worth, served in a 1 oz. sauce container), a small plastic black take out container with all 4 sides that was barely filled a 1/3 of the way, free balling with no separation between them.
I would skip this place and venture to one of the other bbq spots, just goes to show you shouldn’t idolize people because they’re a big name.
I’ll start by singing the praises of the cornbread. It was light, almost like a savory cake, and has now ruined me for any other cornbread. I’m going to be craving it for years and, once Bryan Furman BBQ leaves, I fear it’ll be an endless quest for something as good.
The chicken is smoky, juicy, and flavorful. The mac and cheese is cheesy goodness at its best. The banana pudding is absolutely yummy – smooth, creamy, just the right amount of sweet.
I am so grateful I have the opportunity to try this amazing level of BBQ in the Northwest. I hope to go back often to satisfy and stock up on my cravings for it.
I got there exactly at opening (1pm on Saturday), and waited about an hour and a half by the time I got to eat. The line had died down by the time I left, so I definitely recommend coming about an hour AFTER opening instead of lining up before they open.
Plenty of space inside to eat, and some drinks available as well.
The chicken was just ok, pulled pork was delicious. Collard greens and mac and cheese were pretty good. I enjoyed the sauces the most, which for standing outside in freezing weather is a bit disappointing.
