Drove all the way out here to try texas style barbecue. They were out of most of the items unfortunately (only have limited stock), we tried the brisket and pulled pork. Portions were decent and big, although the sandwiches were a bit greasy, flavor was good. I really like that they have a bunch of free condiments and sauces, the sauce with a bit of spice to it (not the barbecue sauce) was in particular really good. but it's just too far and too expensive for me to justify going to.
What a great BBQ spot. The brisket had a nice bark to it. You could tell they prepped it and smoked it well. So juicy and you can really taste the salt and pepper and smokeyness in the bark. The tri tip was perfectly smoked too. Both had beautiful smoke rings too. Two different types of bbq sauce. Spicy and non spicy. Food was so good it didn't need it. The fries were normal fries. Can't mess that up. Service was great too. Definitely coming back.
If you like BBQ you will love this place. I ordered the Tri tip with sausage and a side of Mac and cheese. My boyfriend got the Tri tip sandwich and fries. The food was flavorful and filling. The pickles were a hit too. I love the atmosphere outside. Our server was on point and attentive. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants some good ole bbq.
After hearing such good things I have to admit I was a little disappointed. Had a bunch of gf's in town from AZ (not a good BBQ town I know) and they were equally unimpressed. Not bad, but not amazing. When the complimentary pickles are the thing we walk away talking about, I can't say it came even close to living up to the hype.
