I say this merely because if you think food from a gas station is beneath you, subpar or otherwise "above it" you're missing out my friend. The interior of the store is dated and have very little in the way of seating to eat your food, when I first entered there was one table for 4 and one side had boxes stacked on top of it. So there really isn't much to look at I suppose. The service was great, the young woman behind the counter took our order and immediately set to task all while entertaining questions about their establishment and its roots. Overall I would give her a 5 star rating. On to the better part. My wife enjoyed a pulled pork meal which she was satisfied with, the only thing to note was there wasn't a huge Smokey flavor with the meat. It wasn't unnoticeable but it wasn't there enough to say it was smoked enough. The Mac and cheese that came with it was creamy and delicious as you would expect from a Mac and cheese but lacked any spice. The coleslaw again was less than remarkable but still well put together and tasted fresh, just very mayo heavy. My meal consisted of the Jeremiah Johnson. The brisket was cooked to absolute perfection, the fat cap appeared to be trimmed to perfection and had a beautiful deep bark with a light smoke ring. The mashed potatoes were made fresh as was the gravy (albeit a bit greasy for me) it was still phenomenal. The Mushrooms and onions were a great addition and well caramelized. The only real thing to note is when you think of this dish as BBQ, You would expect sauce rather than gravy, albeit it was greasy, it was still good and tied the dish together well. I would suggest getting BBQ sauce and asking to have the gravy kept from the dish if possible or placed on the side to have a feel for what I am talking about and make your own decision! Overall I would definitely say for a NE establishment this was still a solid BBQ choice!
