I was passing through Decatur on my way home to lower Alabama for Thanksgiving. I had eaten at Big Bob Gibson's before so I wanted to try what else Decatur had to offer. I looked up BBQ on Yelp and found Scruggs. I was sold when the review said large portions and best brisket ever. Scruggs is west of Decatur and a pretty small place. But it does have a pig with a cowboy hat smilling on the wall and you know what that means? The bigger the smile on the pig, the better the BBQ. There are not many tables but it was busy left and right. I was confused if I had to order at the counter but I was told to sit if I was dining in. First thing, large sweet tea was refreshingly sweet. I've been living up North too long that I mis this kind of sweet tea. I ordered a combo plate and I asked my waitress which 2 Mears should I have. She said the brisket and ribs. The ribs were good but they had a hard outside with the meat inside to be more tender and tastier. The brisket was unique but really good. The best way I can describe it is it looked like brisket but tasted like a grilled steak. I don't know how they prepare it but it is worth another visit. I had potato salad, Mac and cheese, beans and cornbread as my sides. I didn't ask for the beans but the kitchen goofed. I'm sure glad they gave them to me because the beans was better than anything else. They were homemade and had a sweet Smokey taste. The potato salad was chunky and mustard base. Mac and cheese was solid. Cornbread was too dry for me. There are 2 sauces and both are exceptional. There is the sweet and tangy ketchup base and the tangy white sauce. The brisket, beans, sauces, and sweet tea were fantastic! The ribs and other sides were good but not my favorite. This is more like a 4.5. read more
