As a Texas girlie, barbecue is comfort food to me, and I try to visit every place in town that offers it. When I heard this spot boasting about Texas style meats and Tennessee style hospitality, I added it to my calendar for some wholesome election day stress eating.
I got the pick-three combo with turkey, smoked wings, and brisket, plus sides of mac and cheese, potato salad (at the server's suggestion) and added on a Texas Twinkie - their word for their bacon-wrapped jalapenos stuffed with brisket and cheese. Overall, I was pleased with my meal. The restaurant smells like barbecue when you walk in, to whet your appetite, and everything came out reasonably fast. The turkey was juicy and flavorful, and I really liked the dry rub on the wings. However, the brisket looked dried out and reheated? It didn't taste awful, but was a little fattier than appropriate and was not visually appealing. The Texas Twinkie was okay, did not seem to have cheese in it but was a large portion that went well with their house ranch (from the wings). I did enjoy the sides, the potato salad was fresh with red potatoes and the macaroni seemed to use a white cheddar and included bagel seasoning, which was an interesting twist.
Service throughout was great, though I did not catch her name. Location was clean and decor is perfect for a BBQ joint, with American flags and wood furniture, plus a large bar in the middle. Hopefully I just caught the brisket on an off day. This spot is far for me but one I'll be suggesting that others try!
