Reviews
I came here for the first time last week with my extended family (Thanksgiving time). There were 5 of us, and we ordered ribs, brisket, tri-tip, green beans, cole slaw, a smashburger, a wedge salad, and a brisket-cheesesteak sandwich.
It was probably too much food but everything was pretty good. My favorite items were the brisket cheesesteak sandwich, smashburger, wedge salad, and brisket. The ribs and tri-tip were good, but the rub on the ribs was kind of excessively salty.
The total for this huge order was around $150, which isn’t too crazy for the amount of food, but is still a somewhat pricey dinner. The atmosphere is alright. It’s like a big open area with tables, like a meal hall kind of. The only issue is that during g the winter months it gets pretty cold and you kind of have to partially freeze while eating.
The service is pretty high-quality though. The bartender and cashier made a serious effort to welcome every guest, maintain consistent attitude and level of service, and strike a balance between speed and attention.
The meal didn’t quite scratch the itch that was planted in me when I had BBQ in Texas — though almost everything was good, the bark on brisket wasn’t really anywhere close to what it needed to be. I liked how they were able to fish out some smaller sized beef ribs; some other places only have enormous ones and those aren’t ideal if you want to have a taste without over-ordering.
Meat was very smoky. Never thought I’d say it but some may find it too smoky, given that I could still smell it on myself half a day later. Personally, I’m not sure how I feel about it. Flavor and tenderness were both pretty good. All around an enjoyable experience even if it didn’t send me to BBQ nirvana.
Atmosphere is nice and welcoming, and staff are all very friendly.
Patio is very dog friendly and place has great vibes. Highly recommend!
You order from a window, find a spot among regular or community tables to sit, and they buzz your pager when your food is ready. The staff were friendly and the wait was short.
We liked the fact that you can order meats by the quarter pound. The brisket was more tender than the lamb shoulder as expected. We also liked that they were both very light in taste so you can choose from the 5-6 types of BBQ sauces they offer, or just salt and pepper if you prefer.
There were enough flies to force everyone focus on his food all the time, but we eventually failed and the flies landed on our meat. What a shame.
Do not even attempt to compare this place to Phil’s… please…
Tried the beef short ribs, brisket, and the tri-tips.
The beef short ribs were to die for. So rich in flavor. Melts in your mouth.
Brisket, which is often easy to dry out unless you do it right, was also very tender.
Tri-tips were a little dry, but still had great beefy taste and a decent chew to it. The chimichurri that came with it was also great.
Will have to go back for the sausages.
