Another food safari and another BBQ crawl with my son-in-law (we're both aspiring pitmasters and…read morelove to try new places together; it's our thing). This week's excursion brought us to Struggletown BBQ in Mount Sinai, NY. From what I learned, what started as a food truck morphed into a brick-and-mortar business that has obviously hit its stride. This place is awesome! On the table this time was a "Big John Sampler", a 1/4# platter of brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and ribs, as well as a side of chicken wings in an Alabama White Sauce and corn bread. Absolute winners all around. My first real introduction to corn bread was from Paul Prudhomme's cookbook "Louisiana Kitchen," where I learned to make, and love, a traditional southern corn bread (moist, flaky, and somewhat sweet). Of all the places that I've been to, in my humble opinion, this place has the best outside K-Paul's. There is a reason that it's one of the most requested items from the restaurant. It was excellent! Why am I making a fuss about cornbread? Because it's the details that make a restaurant great. Next came the chicken wings in Alabama White Sauce. I'm now a convert. Sure, I've had it a few times, but this version was eye-opening! Perfectly smoked, then fried chicken wings slathered in this red-sauce alternative was an epiphany for me. I don't think I'll ever look at the humble chicken wing the same way again. I am spoiled for life! Goodbye Buffalo, hello Decatur (where the sauce reputedly originated). Yeah, that good and worth traveling for. The meats? What you want from a BBQ joint. The brisket, pulled pork, and chicken were all juicy and smoked to perfection; the ribs had a smoke ring that made me jealous of their skill set (I'll get there one day). Have I said "awesome? yet? Plenty of parking, all cards, and they cater! This is one of those places that you'll want to day trip to if you're jonesing for some smoky greatness. Very nice people behind the counter and a magician working the pits. You gotta go here. Just not on a Monday, they're closed.

They're creamy, fresh, and the perfect sweet ending. I'll 100% be back soon! Super casual atmosphere and service is super friendly!

Hey maybe if I was a happier person John's food wouldn't suck.

This place used to be a hidden gem for their "Spicy's wings & sauce," but sadly it's become an…read moreoverpriced, cost-cutting waste of money. $20 for 10 wings, and tonight they forgot the sauce--the entire point of the meal. I even bought an additional $8 jar of sauce, but the sauce cups included with my order were still missing. ( I guess they figured since I paid for extra I don't need the cups that come with $2 dollar wings) Accidents happen, but this has become a regular issue over my last 3 visits: missing fries, missing cheese, missing sauce--all items I paid for. They've even cut corners on the little things, like no longer including the slice of bread, while also passing credit card fees onto customers. What used to be a great local spot has seriously gone downhill. Lost a customer. Hope that 50-cent sauce was worth it.

I ordered a lamb gyro and he ordered a chicken sandwich, PLAIN, cutlet on a bun. No pickles, coleslaw, plain! He received a sandwich with EVERYTHING on it! My gyro was like something that I have never seen in my life! The menu says protein, COMES With SALAD and FRIES. It was a pita with lamb CUBES covered in French fries and chopped lettuce with white sauce. I have taken photos, it was disgraceful! I have no idea who would ever eat this slop! I called to speak with the owner and was told he would come to the phone and placed on hold... then disconnected. Called back and was then told that the owner wasn't there! STAY AWAY!

The place is empty except for the DoorDash guy. I'm reading the menu board, it's huge! Salads, burgers, chicken, etc. I see the lunch specials, a (4) piece chicken tenders with fries and no soda? I ask for a fry substitute, no dice. I order a soda with my lunch special. The total order with the soda is over $17 bucks. Is it really so special at this point?
