Wow, I happened to drive down the right street on my way to a diner for some lunch. When I see a glimpse or whiff of BBQ...my car just stops! Drove past a couple of time and was able to find parking right in front. I could smell the smoke as I walked in. Restaurant was decorated just as you would expect in a BBQ joint. Dark wood counter, huge menu behind the counter and register. You can see your meat sliced in front of you when you stand at the counter. I was welcomed immediately and walked through any ?s about the menu. I like vinegar based slaw, so tried that with the greens(which I haven't had ham hock in years) and the fatty brisket. I measure any BBQ joint and pitmaster by the brisket. The brisket was tender and moist with incredible bark. It had the right amount of smoke and passed the "pull test" with flying colors. I enjoyed every bite. Greens where great and ham hock meat was a joy, which it just a throw back to my grandpa's greens. Everyone uses smoked turkey these days. Slaw was fine, not as vinegar-y as I expected, but had nice crunch. The last thing I will say is...THE PORTIONS WERE FANTASTIC! I got more than my moneys worth. Kudos to the pitmaster for some delicious que in Poughkeepsie! You have a gift my friend! read more
