Always anxious to try new BBQ joints, over the weekend, I stopped in Double H BBQ located next to…read morePurple Haze on Versailles Road. While the small strip center doesn't have much curb appeal, upon entering Double H, I felt transported out into the country by the rural decorations and furnishings. Lest that also sounds unappealing to you, half of the restaurant appears to have been newly added on and/or recently fully remodeled with a full bar and several flat screen tvs for your sports watching pleasure. Go Big Blue!!
As to the food, rather than try standard BBQ offerings, I decided to go another direction. First, I tried the wings, which are smoked, then flash fried. Delicious to the last drummy, they had a slight sweet flavor which complimented their smokiness.
I tried two BBQ sauces, one mild and one hot, but both delicious. The hot sauce, in particular, had a unique heat signature, perhaps a little habanero or maybe some pickled jalapeno juice had been added. I'll have to track down the source of that heat!
As the Double H menu has a section with "Hearty Meat Sandwiches & More" with several tasty sounding sandwiches, I decided to give a couple of them a try. The Big Meaty features a ground pork sausage patty, topped with melted Swiss cheese, pulled pork, bacon, and lettuce and tomato. Absolutely delicious in every way! What's not to like about sausage, pulled pork, AND bacon?
Finally, I tried the Corned Beef Reuben, which was traditional in its construction (corned beef, Swiss cheese, thousand island on rye), but ambrosial in its execution. And I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of fine Reubens.
Looking forward to my next visit to Double H BBQ on a mission to learn more about the secret ingredient in that delicious hot BBQ sauce!
