Just went to the new Aurora location off of Buckley. Got there close to closing time on a Sunday night. They are open till 9am. Really had HIGH expectations as I've seen soooo many vids and reviews. People talking about maybe being the best BBQ in town. Is that true? anybody? Maybe cuz it's new and it was close to closing time, but man....kinda disappointed. Vibe was hella cool. Older lady helped me out and was super duper nice. Explained to me their meal deals. Even gave me a FREE banana pudding, just for coming in for the first time. but man....we ordered food enough for 3-4 people. Got some brisket, whole chicken, they were out of ribs, some wings, fries, Mac n' cheese and some mash potatoes. ALL cost me about $60 +dollars. Again, maybe cuz we got there close to closing time but the brisket we got was really fatty(and the brisket I got was chopped up, not slices of brisket), not juicy n super salty. chicken wings weren't the best. I've had way better. Didn't even try the whole chicken as we were already full. Tried the next day and the chicken was dry as well and super salty. Mac n cheese was different. Think they use penne pasta? that was a first for me. It was ok. the mash was good. really garlicky but overall good. waffle style fries were tasty. I was really looking forward to the brisket. Still on the hunt for the best in the biz. Unfortunately, after my first try here, it wasn't the one. but imma give it another try one day. The nice lady n' I agreed this place may want look into offering pork belly. Sorry for the long review though. Just keeping it real. I just hope this wasn't an off night, cuz again, I been hearing nothing but good things about this place. Even spoke to one of the owners, Jared. Hella cool dude. Asked that I let him know what my thoughts were on the food. So here we are. again, good vibes, new joint is super nice and very welcoming. I just hope my next visit is a a lot better.
If there is another bbq joint anybody can suggest, that maybe has pork belly, pls let me know.
