Review of Super Smoker

I am sure this place was great...15 or 20 years ago. I visited this place in the last week of April, 2013. First, the dining area needs a thorough cleaning. The food prep area needs even more cleaning and some repairs, as the cutting board on the 'make-line' was worn & not easily cleaned. Despite my initial alarming assessment, placed an order and got some brisket, pulled pork apple sauce and fries. Didn't try any of sauces, since they were in squirt bottles on the tables (no date marks, no refrigeration, easy access to insects....). The brisket had some smoke flavor but appeared to be steam roasted or braised, as the bark was soft and the beef tasted like prime rib seasoning. The pulled-pork didn't have much smoke flavor and was cold. Both meats were obviously NOT cooked in the past 24, maybe 48 hours and needed a bit more salt IMO. Apple sauce looked to be homemade and was quite tangy with firm chunks of apples. Fries were out of a freezer bag, stunk like bad fryer oil and sprinkled with nasty seasoned salt. Although I didn't get debilitating sick, the next day provided me with some interesting moments on the porcelain chair. Maybe this is St. Louis BBQ???...Kinda like Imo's "Snot on a Cracker" Provell Puke pizza. At any rate, I will not be back to Super Smokers!
