As a 7th generation Texan, I don't understand all the 5 star reviews. Must be Cali folks.
I just started work in the area and was excited to try the only bbq place really close. The first impressions were pretty good. It's really nice when you walk in. Very large and comfortable. Not many people there at lunch rush.... I'm about to see why. I was met with a smile and told to sit anywhere. Then they said they don't have menus and you order from a QR code. I must be an old fogie cause that's just not how restaurants should be. They offered to take the order up front, and I did. $50 for 1 pound of food and a drink later, I get the glass and go over to get a drink from the 1 machine with 6 options with 2 teas next to it. There is no lid for the drink.
I sit down and wait, and then a server brings my food. This is the last time the server does anything. They have no other job after that, apparently.
I tried the brisket, 'jalapeno' sausage, and mac&cheese. It came with bread and pickles and pickled onions... good options to include. I was very excited to try it.
Now the food:
The brisket was chewy.... not from being dry and not from overcooking. There was no flavor at all unless you got a chunk of the outside seasoning. The fat wasn't that soft, either. All of those point to an undercooked brisket. Probably pulled it early at 180 or so rather than over 200.
The **$9 per 6" link** sausage, however, WAS dried out and very tough from being overcooked. I asked for jalapeno sausage, and they didn't correct me, but there was no jalapeno flavor in it. There was cheese in it with little flavor (the only moisture in the bite), but no jalapeno taste. The *only* reason I could choke down this hard sausage was the side of sweet&spicy mustard it came with. That was amazing. The bbq sauce was just dark colored ketchup, I think.
The mac&cheese was coated in a very thin layer of cheese that had almost no flavor, and breadcrumbs, though the noodles were properly done. The bread was lightly toasted with little flavor.
My drink refills were me doing the work. I really regret my large tip for literally nothing but taking an order and bringing the food.
Overall, it's not good bbq at all. For $50 I could have eaten like a king at other bbq places. I can't recommend this as an option for Texans in the area unless you're rich and drunk.
Thank God I didn't get the beef rib... probably would have been 3 times more and also disappointing. I won't be back. You can't overcharge by that much and expect us to give you a 2nd chance. Good luck.
