Review of Russell's BBQ

My boyfriend and his family have been coming here ...

My boyfriend and his family have been coming here for years, so I was thrilled to try it for myself. Prices seemed a bit high, but the portions were generous. I didn't realize their signature BBQ sauce contained cinnamon (or something equally sweet) and that was very disappointing. I ordered the brisket, which was good, albeit a bit dry and fatty. I remedied the dryness by putting chunks of the brisket in my Mac n cheese and that was absolutely delicious! The restaurant itself is clean (just old) and can accommodate large groups of people easily. Rated so highly because of the nostalgia attached to it, and while I wasn't overly thrilled with their BBQ, I'd love to come back and try some of the other things they offer from their extensive menu.
