This was the second time I have tried them. Last time I had the pulled pork and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time I tried the brisket, which was excellent, and a recent addition to the menu... a lamb chop. The chop was amazing! It was so tender I didn't need a knife, the meat just fell off the bone. I would have had 2 but they had only 1 left. Found out that you can call ahead and they will hold your order. Oh yeah, they are great people too.
Very quick and easy to get your food. The brisket sandwich was $14 and does not come with a side. I would say the amount of sauce is scant for the sandwich, next time I would ask for two. $33 for two people to eat and it was *just* enough.
The meat was very tasty and the bun was fresh. The potato salad was creamy and had pickles! My fave.
I would go back and try the pulled pork next time.
The best smoked beef brisket and beanless chili around. Food has great flavour and is fairly priced. The only downside is there is no shaded tables or chairs to eat at. Won't be disappointed.
I have mixed feelings about this place but am giving them the benefit of the doubt. I usually judge bbq on their brisket. It should have great bark, be moist, flavorful and the fat should be melt-y not chewy. The bark isn't very flavorful, it's not that moist and the fat is chewy. But! The rest of the stuff they have is great. I'll try the brisket again soon, maybe it was just one off day.
Traveled here and moved not long ago to the island, decided to try this small bbq restaurant. A must try for anyone passing through.
Edit Feb 7 2022: I am so happy that I added this place and helping it draw in customers galore, the reviews they have recieved have made a huge difference in the owners lives. Thanks to all who enjoyed going here and to continue supporting the business.
