A barbecue joint through and through. Brisket melts in your mouth, sauces are all amazing, and the sides are spot on. If, like me, you find the whisky selection intimidating, do what I did and order a flight. They're chosen for you, which streamlines the process quite nicely. Not an inexpensive place, but one I'll be visiting again without a doubt.
Lots to talk about here. To start, the chili is just leftovers simmered overnight without much concern, so you may want to avoid it. The selection of sides is good, with our party rating the Cole slaw, a BBQ staple, as "decent.". The rancher beans were tender and sweet style. The prime brisket was really tender (fatty cut) with a really good crust. The sauces fell flat though, with the regular sauce sub par; several store brands are better. The hot sauce was chosen because it had a little more character, but it might have just been the regular sauce with cayane added.
We like the selection, which will have us come back and try something new to see if there's a favorite or two to select. The bar is in what appears to be a separate area, which is a little odd to my experience from living in Texas. Family style seating and paper towels on the table remind me of the atmosphere of southern BBQ.
Fix the chili and the sauces and you have a 5 star place in my opinion.
Delicious brisket. Had a perfect smoke ring. Plus take a nice helping of the free pickles. They were amazing!
*Turkey was a little dry though. Sorry... had to be said.
