I came here one day for a nice lunch. Got here right when it opened, so we had the place to…read moreourselves. Ambiance was nice. Counter-service right when you walk in, and then there's a great, big dining room full of wooden bench-esque booths. Feels like of like an outdoor picnic area. It was nice. Cozy.
Service was excellent. Believe it or not, we were served by Papa Diesel himself! I only knew that, because he was standing right in front of a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself. Very surreal. The food came out very promptly, and he went and got us a whole flight of sauces to try.
The food itself was pretty good. We got The Diesel Sampler (1/4 lb of slow smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and wings) and a few sides, the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese, the Brussel Sprouts with Bacon, and a Sweet Roll.
Brisket was not good, sorry, ribs were nice, but needed sauce, pulled pork was good, but needed sauce, sausage was the best part, Huge chunks of melty cheddar cheese inside, and the wings had a nice little smoke to them. Pretty good stuff.
The mac was very gouda-y. Needed some seasoning, though. The sprouts were excellent. Huge sprouts, but cooked all the way through, nice chunks of bacon added that much needed fat. Good work here.
Overall, some pretty good BBQ. You won't be disappointed with your visit here. Just make sure to sauce adequately.
