After scrolling through dozens and dozens of reviews, it became apparent that this place is doing something right despite just three poor reviews that can be dismissed. I have to admit this place does have a country charm about it, and I was surprised there was only about a dozen tables inside and about the same outside. As soon as you enter, the order counter is right in front of you along with an iced down beer table with soft drinks, water, and beers. They do have a happy hour and daily specials. Once you place the order with a credit card , they'll flip the tip screen over with the tip percentages. Your receipt comes in the form of an email with the breakdown when you use your card.
Whether you're dining in or get it to go, the sides come in plastic containers, including the blackberry cobbler which was smashed into a container beyond recognition. Unfortunately, the side of pinto beans were utterly flavorless and lifeless with nothing like brisket or peppers to add some life to them, avoid this item. The coleslaw was the typical mediocre offering I've had numerous times before, not bad, just tired of it. We got the brisket sandwich and it basically comes on a glorified toasted hotdog bun. As I started digging in to a sampling of some of their meats, I found the waygu brisket (which you pay extra for) to be dry with not much of a smoke ring and 20% fat. The brisket on the sandwich was a little more moist and fared better. However, the stars of the show were the St. Louis style ribs which were perfectly smoked, moist and large (no baby backs here). The smoked turkey breast is also something else we'd recommend because it was tender and juicy with just the right amount of smoke. Their sausage did have some decent spiciness and it was meaty, but a little on the dry side. Some things were really good, but not everything was which means no five stars from me, but a good acceptable 3 1/2 stars. If I could do it all over again, I'd purchase a rack of the ribs for $60 and a half pound of turkey which would have me slapping down 5 stars. A few photos included for more insight. read more
