I stumbled in during their grand opening by complete accident in search of a decent lunch.
I was greeted by a very friendly staff and ordered up the 2 meat plate. I got the brisket, spicy cheddar sausage, fried okra and baked potato casserole. $12.50 without a drink, well I get a free one as part of their grand opening. Still pricey for lunch. And they couldn't accept AMEX.
Sat down in their new, clean dining area and dug in. Heres what I noted.
The brisket was good but nothing award winning, honestly it was really greasy which I know you are all thinking of course it is, it's BBQ! But this was excessive. I think they wrap their briskets in plastic wrap and then heat them which just renders all the available fat.
The sausage was terrible, I mean to the point that I tossed it. It tasted like a Bar-S Brand sausage with chunks of government cheese embedded in it. No good.
The casserole was also bad, tasted like it was reheated food service prepared food.
The okra was, well fried okra. Unless it's over cooked it's always good.
Overall impression is that this is a over priced franchise run by a very nice family. It's too bad they didn't start their own BBQ gig because I bet it would be a lot better. The place was swimming in marketing materials and just really created a fake homestyle atmosphere. read more
