Keep driving… After driving by this place for the last few years the lovely and I decided to stop in. The marquee always says pulled pork and smoked brisket. And it even has a smoker trailer out front. Now granted this place is more bar then restaurant… but that should not exclude it from having good food. So we gave it a try. It was a Sunday evening and the place was dead…6 locals talking as if it was packed. We sat ourselves and the waitress came over and gave us a menu. It was limited… burgers, wings and BBQ… and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Hell 5 Guys has just burgers and fries and the do them very well. Well…that is not the case here. We ordered the wings to share… she brought the basket… but no plates. The silverware was wrapped in plastic bags so I am guessing it was processed off site. Perhaps… this was for the better. Wings were OK… not the best ever… but really how can you screw up chicken wings? We both ordered the Hickory Smoked Beef Brisket Platter $ 8.25… It came with fries and coleslaw. The fries were hot… and well it went down hill from there. What they call hickory smoked beef brisket was really 3 pieces of nursing home roast beef about the size and shape of a Odor Eater, but with less flavor and a lot more hard white fat. It was drizzled with what can be best described as… graveyque…a mixture of gravy and BBQ sauce. Thankfully it was just a drizzle as this concoction put the asty in nasty. Thankfully we were only given 3 pieces… What a crappy place… if you are driving… keep on going. Better places await going north or south… It gets one star for having real fries, ok wings and cold beer.
