    Good folks slinging good BBQ. Chris and Jen are genuine people, sat down with my family and I, gave…read moreme us some samples which could have been a meal themselves and a free beer to go with it, chatted us up and then right back to business never once asking us to "leave a review" or any nonsense. Small but sufficient bar for those inclined to just partake in some drinks. BBQ is mediocre by Texas standards, but that's comparing it against the greats like Franklins and Blacks; for North country and anything north of Mason-Dixon Line, it's the best I've had. Interesting too because they don't commit to a single style, you will see NC sauce/rips next to sauceless brisket (TX). Didn't try the non-meat items but had a large menu of goodies for non-meat eaters. Prices were cheap on drinks and decent on meals. It's rustic in there but clean. Don't know if they'll have a good patio game in the summer. 5 stars, worth the 30 minute trip from Fort Drum.

    I would give service 1 star. We came in on a Friday night, and went to order the homestead platter…read moreand a few other things and were told we couldn't because they were running low on meat. Every BBQ I've ever been to, has the unwritten rule of if show up at the end of the night, some of the meat might be sold out. So I asked if we could order everything separately and the guy told us yes - which is ridiculous, because it's a way to up charge. My husband asked for a mixture of lean and moist brisket and the guy at the counter said "we only have brisket." It was at that point, I knew this would be an adventure. We went back at one point and asked for bread, and he raised his voice at my sister and said bread doesn't come with brisket. On to the food, the pulled pork nachos were weird. They used the mustard BBQ sauce which was an odd choice. The hot wings were good! The brisket was disappointing. It was still a little tough, and probably needed to cook for another two hours. The chicken was enjoyable. As for the sides, the corn bread was cold. The broccoli salad, Cole slaw, and potato salad was enjoyable. The place is easy to find and a decent amount of seating. My husband's family is from Pulaski and I don't think we'll be stopping in again next time we are back.

    First timers and we will definitely be back! The customer service was phenomenal, they even made my…read moreson a little fruit bowl as he's so picky. The coffee is so good!!!! And they have some delish creamers to choose from. We absolutely loved the menu and when the food came out we were blown away. Everything was so delicious. And I was so thankful for the gluten free options! The ambiance is top tier!

    This is my experience as an AuDHD adult, male-presenting person…read more I went to Déjà Brew and was greeted with smiles. Three people were prepping early in the morning--maybe around 8:30 or 9:00. The whole place had a warm, easygoing vibe. I ordered a Soul Shine smoothie and a BLT for later, with romaine substituted and garlic & herb sourdough, a Texas-toast-style bread. They called it sourdough, and maybe it was--but just a heads-up, it's on the denser side. I liked it, though! The interaction was great. They answered all my questions, and when I asked if I needed to make a purchase to use the WiFi, they said no--it was freely given. That small kindness already made me feel welcome. I took my time sipping my smoothie while researching what's next. When I was ready for my sandwich a couple of hours later, I let them know, then stepped outside for some air while they made it. When I came back, I found they had brought it right to my spot. That small, thoughtful gesture really stuck with me. The sandwich looked fantastic, and to my surprise, it came with a few thick-cut pickle chips--definitely dill, and so good. The BLT itself? Also solid. Big slices of tomato (which, honestly, I don't usually go for, but it's a BLT, so I rolled with it). The mayo--or maybe aioli?--was incredible, the kind that makes your mouth water. The romaine was fresh and crisp, and the bacon was good--though I wouldn't have minded another slice or two. When they brought it over, they reminded me that chips were included. I checked out the options and saw some good flavors, but I was craving something a little more nutrient-dense. I asked if they offered fruit with the meal, and they kindly offered me a banana. It seemed like something they don't normally do, but they were happy to accommodate, which I really appreciated. The total came to $21.60 after taxes, and honestly? Worth it. I spent five hours here, enjoying the space, the welcoming atmosphere, and the heater they had running on this cold April day. The kindness, the food, and the comfort made it an easy place to settle in for a while. 10/10, would recommend to a friend.
