After seeing this place featured on TV segment and being relatively close to home, we had to try it. Looking at some of the negative reviews had us wondering, yet our experience was great. It’s extremely casual. Just like a BBQ place should be. Only a few tables to sit at, but when we arrived, all were empty. But, we arrived a little after 5 pm. More filled by the time we left.
The service was prompt and friendly.
We started with the Meat Candy (think Burnt Ends). Burnt Ends are one of my can’t resist foods. These were very good. (Much better than Westwoods, which now that I said that, that’s a pretty low bar. W.W. really is consistently the worst I’ve had anywhere—I have no idea why I continue to order them there. A hope for improvement? Glutton for punishment? Ha…Only history will know.) Tonight’s were good enough that I’d favorably compare them to any of the many Texas BBQ joints I’ve enjoyed over the years. Right up there with them all. And, a really nice quantity of them in the serving.
I opted for the rib plate with the Deep Fried Green Beans and the Bacon Mac & Cheese sides. The ribs were a fair size. I usually like my smoked ribs dry, but I went ahead and didn’t change the order. The sauce is a bit more “tomato-ey” than I normally enjoy. But after the first rib, I really enjoyed it. The beans and Mac & Cheese were flavorful too.
My wife had planned to get the brisket platter. The server said it wasn’t available tonight because the brisket came out dry, but a brisket sandwich was available because they chopped up the brisket to prepare it for sandwiches. This is NOT a negative thing. Briskets can sometimes by fickle—even for professional chefs. The sandwich was delicious. Kudos to the chef for holding to a high standard and knowing how to adjust. She got a side of the Brussel Sprouts. My wife has a very similar recipe and they are delicious. I’d like to say tonight’s were better, but come on, she’s my wife….
Is this the absolute best BBQ I’ve ever had? No. Sorry, the small towns in Texas are where I’ve found those. For Sanger, Calif.? Awesome! All in all, a very good meal and we’ll try it again.
