I smell smoked meat!" I followed my nose to an oasis of of meaty delight: Big Stuff Smoked BBQ. I swear that tears formed in my eyes as I saw the writing on the glass display: BRISKET. Alas, my tears of joy turned to tears of sorrow, when the guy in front of me got the last delectable-looking piece. Then the tough decision: pulled pork or pork belly? Well, anyone with a brain would choose the crispy fat and juicy flesh of the pork belly... so I chose pulled pork. ;-) While I was waiting for my sandwich to be assembled, I started up a conversation with the owners about the difficulties of finding brisket in Germany. I was quite impressed with their knowledge of brisket versus tri-tip, and the delicate process of cooking brisket hot, then warm for hours. These guys knew their stuff!! After my pork was pulled (by hand), I was asked to choose a sauce. I went with the spicy one, naturally. Most sandwiches come with a variety of veggies: cucumbers, lettuce, etc., but I'm a purist. Meat, sauce and bun, please. Pickles on the side, if you've got 'em. I think my hands actually trembled a bit when I went to take the first bite. The aroma of the smoky sauce and juicy pork were almost overwhelming. The sandwich did not disappoint. I would even go so far as to say it was on par with some of the best barbecue I've had - even from central Texas, the Vaterland of barbecuing excellence. A glass of tart lemonade, garnished with lime, mint and cucumber was a delicious accompaniment to the sandwich. I'm already planning my next visit at the end of September. I'll be there first thing on Thursday morning, guys. Save me a slab of brisket and a bottle of the spicy sauce!!

Staff was nice- will definitely be back when I get the craving for the taste of home. The only suggestion I have is to improve the sides. The mac and cheese could use some love and would taste much better if it was made from scratch. Also the Mexican street corn came straight from the can, but would be much better if corn cobs could be grilled for a bit on the smoker. But the place hasn't been around too long, hopefully the sides will get better with time!

They have vegetarian options for those that do not eat meat. I ordered the pastrami sandwich that they are known for. It was really good. My other friend ordered the pastrami salad, another the Reuben, and another their vegetarian sandwich. It was here that I discovered one of my favorite German Beers, Bayreuther Hell. My friend ordered lemon and ginger tea and was given hot water with a real lemon wedge and ginger root in it. I noticed that this is common in Germany.

He was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us fantastic recommendations both for which cuts of meat to order and which sake to pair with them. The quality of the food speaks for itself.

But everything else was immaculate. Prefer the only salt wagyu then in soy sauce marinated wagyu. Every kind of premium was spelling premium on your tongue. Every beef they offered was tasty. Also tried the pork belly which was also nice marinated so that the pork had this smokey unique taste. For side dishes I recommend you to try the karaage and agedashi. Very very delicious!!! For veggies we only picked the pumpkin. Very nice flavor and matched the beef very very well. Fyi: you should book in advance or reserve a table since it's always full. Parking is very hard. This restaurant is more on the pricier side! They have a special grill which doesn't make any sounds unlike Korean barbecue where you can here it sizzling.
