I have to say I am slightly disappointed after I heard all the raves about this BBQ joint. We came here on a Sunday noon and it is not too crowded. The place is a Order First, Sit Down later type of establishment so you don't need to worry about tipping.

I ordered their famous Brisket Sandwich and my husband got the Burnt End and a side of Mac and Cheese. The brisket sandwich was only $10 and comes with a nice solid bun. Unfortunately, the brisket is rather dry and cut thick. I much more appreciate the thin and juicy slice. This place offers neither. On the bright side, their brisket sandwich is pretty healthy since it is not juicy nor is it drenched in sauces! Their pepper BBQ sauce is extremely spicy but does not add much flavor other than heat.

My husband's burnt end is superb. It is salty, greasy and tender! I should have got that instead. My friend also tried their pulled pork. It is pretty tender but there is not much flavor to it. The mac and cheese is very good but it uses penne pasta instead. The collar green is a little spicy and average.

I think I will only get the burnt end sandwich here next time. The rest I don't think highly of compared to places like Hill Country, Mighty Quinn, etc.
