    Chopped brisket and Mac and cheese
    Simone L.

    I had a little bit of extra time and was in the area so I decided to stop by and check out their new place (recently moved like 3 minutes down the road. The new place is huge in comparison. They have a bunch of tables and a bar where a sign said drinks will be coming soon. Service was fast, food was pretty good. I got the brisket, and you get the option of chopped or sliced. They have some of the best BBQ sauces you can find! Definitely not anything fancy but great if you are looking for some good casual BBQ.

    2 taylor lunches.    Ribs and pulled pork.   And pulled pork and brisket.    Both with side of mac and cheese.

    BBQ or rather smoking meat is very time consuming. It's always nice to find some place that has smoked meats that are almost as good as homemade. It just makes having a good meal so much easier. We tried this little spot in Halfmoon because we wanted some good smoked meats. SO had the brisket and pulled pork while I had the pulled pork and BBQ ribs. Meat on the ribs just fell off the bone. Nice! Rollin Smoke also gives you a choice of three sauces to use on the meats....the mustardy based Carolina sauce, the Texas smoky sauce and then my new fav - the mango habanero sauce. Oh My Goodness! A little kick, a little sweet but a lot of delicious. Sides were the usual mac & cheese (a little BBQ sauce smoky with some jalapenos), mac salad, baked beans, corn bread (also with jalapenos). The glutton in me ordered two meats, but with the serving size is large enough for one meat to be ordered. We both took home half of our order and enjoyed it again for another meal. Parking is for the entire strip mall. There are a few tables outside to dine since the inside does not appear to be accepting guests as yet. I did see a number of people getting orders to go. Yes, another good spot for good food.

    Wonderful family story.

    Today was opening day for Rollin' Smoke in Halfmoon and I was prepared to come across some glitches. I didn't find any! Located at the end of a small strip mall that also has a Mr. Subb, I wouldn't at all be surprised if more folks come rollin' in for the BBQ than for a sub. It being my breakfast/lunch time, I decided to go for a simple Pulled Pork sandwich ($6). It came with a small, fresh cornbread muffin and I accepted the offer to have coleslaw and pickle added. There were three squeeze bottles of sauce to choose from on each table - BBQ, Carolina Gold (my favorite), and Jala Mango. The jala mango would benefit from being in a different container since chunks of something kept clogging up the tiny hole at the top of the squeeze bottle. None of the sauces were overly spicy, but after I finished my sandwich it was obvious to me by the pleasant sensation I had in my mouth that I had eaten some level of spiced food. The pork was nice and tender and flavorful. My personal preference would have been for a bit more smoke flavor, but that won't stop me from returning to try other items on the menu. They also offer ribs, brisket, pulled chicken, smoked mac & cheese, baked beans, fries, potato salad and mac salad. They also have a Piglet Menu for kids. On the lighter side, I can see myself returning to also try their Wings, Nachos, Tacos, and Pig on a Stick (bacon wrapped pork tenderloin on a stick). They have a cooler with soda, water, and tea ($2). Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Place your order at the counter and then take a seat at one of the half dozen or so tables to wait for your number to be called.

    Came in around 12:30 small line. Customer service was very good. I got the brisket sandwich twister. That was pretty good. Also got the baked beans and the Mac n cheese for my sides. The beans were very good! I recommend trying them. The mac n cheese was good as well. This place is worth checking out.

    Decided to try here for lunch after a morning of apple picking. Its located in a small strip plaza in Clifton Park that can be a pain to get in and out of with traffic and limited parking. Luckily service here is pretty quick depending on what you order. I ordered the taco special with slaw, pico, lime and sour cream on the side. They allowed me to split my meat choices so I chose pulled pork and brisket. The pork was moist and the brisket itself was great. As a taco they were pretty lousy but as my husband would say, that's what I get for ordering tacos at a BBQ joint. The pico wasn't fresh, the slaw didn't add much and there was no lime or sour cream to add the fresh tangy factor I was wanting. My husband's special was Poutine with meat choice. It was sliced and deep fried potatoe pieces like you would get for fries but thicker. It came covered in a delicious spicy gravy, white cheese sauce and topped with brisket. After one bite of the potato and gravy I knew I'd ordered wrong. This place is a friendly hole in the wall serving good BBQ. I can't wait to try more of their menu.

    I really wanted to like this place based on how many decent reviews there are between Yelp and Google, and how lovely the staff was when we went in on Saturday to pick up our order, but unfortunately this place has missed the mark on various levels for me. Let me start by saying the customer service is excellent. The counter staff was extremely friendly and had everything ready for us when we walked in for our pick up order. They made us feel like we were friends the second we came in, and I absolutely love that! As for the food, we were met with disappointment the second we opened the bag when we got home. We ordered brisket, ribs, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and baked beans. The brisket at $12 for a half pound was inedible; we had to throw it in the garbage because of how much fat was riddled throughout the two pieces we got. It left me wondering how the staff could even proudly serve this to anyone, even themselves. I picked the brisket up and tugged at both ends to try and get it to come apart, and the tug eventually turned into a hard pull because the fat wasn't only riddled so bad throughout the center, but it wasn't even rendered down properly. I know everyone is an expert in everything these days, so I'll spare you the lecture on how "I've had BBQ in so many places and in so many different states", but I'm fairly certain if the low n' slow process is completed accurately, there shouldn't be any need to tug and pull at the meat with such force to get it to come apart. This leads me to the ribs. The ribs were not as terrible as the brisket, but it seemed as if they were not uniformly cooked for some odd reason. One section was filled with fat and not trimmed, the other section was trimmed and as clean as a whistle. The section with the abundance of fat was hardly able to be pulled off the bone, like I'm talking needing to put my fingernails into it to get it to tear. The bark was also unremarkable and barely existent, except on the two ends of the rack. It was unfortunate because ordering ribs is my favorite at any BBQ joint, and the bark on both ribs and brisket is what I enjoy most. The pulled pork also had a large chunk of fat in it that was not rendered properly, as it was chewy and hard, not melt in your mouth and blending in with the other shredded meat for that delightful mouth feel it provides that I usually (very) much look forward to. On to the sides. The mac & cheese was a bit strange for my tastes, as I'm a traditionalist when it comes to BBQ, but overall good. The cheese sauce they use is extremely liquidy and nothing like I've had before down south or while living on the west coast with many southern transplants. The consistency is almost reminiscent of mac salad. It has this thicker, creamier component to it, which is obviously from the cheese blend, but it is still thin enough to represent a mayonnaise type texture, as if you're eating mac salad. It is different, but in a good way. The slight smokey flavor and jalapeno spice kick was a very nice addition. As for the baked beans, they were cooked well, had a nice bite, and overall good. I was also disappointed to learn while talking to the awesome staff members that they do not make any BBQ sauces in house. The 3 offerings they have available are from a major US foods manufacturer, which kinda sucks. I do think good BBQ speaks for itself and requires NO additional sauces, however, I am a lover of condiments and enjoy sampling things that are made in house to see what they're all about. Overall, the star of the show (the meat) was a disappointment. I know this place is fairly new and the Cap Region is not necessarily known for its BBQ pit masters, but I hope this place changes a few of their practices and gets better over time. The sides were good and the employees are doing an excellent job; I hope to be back sometime in the future for another go once the kinks are maybe worked out.

    There is hardly a food truck I don't like. Why? I love the history behind them. The craziness of…read morethe new rage, from an oldie but goodie, and the committment from the owner to make his/her greateness available at reasonable price and in cool digs. Now, I wouldn't call the New York State Capital lawn cool digs, but seeing as it just a few blocks away and plenty of green grass, park benches, picnic tables, and other seating, how can one resist coming out here for a stroll and a great bite to eat? Not to mention, it is the only place in Albany where you can find 4-5 food trucks to choose from, which makes me feel sad, as that number is low compared to other progressive cities like, San Diego, San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, New York. It also upsets some people that the capitol gets special treatment for placement of food trucks, but let's save that for another day. Michele's looked good. I was simply craving a burger and fries. However, I've learned from my food trucking, that fries can be somewhat of a challenge. Either soggy, dried, or just not right. I hate suffering through that, so instead, I ordered the tots they have. Being a chemist by nature, I don't know what it is with tots, but you can hardly mess them up. They always come out crispy on outside and nice and hot inside. Michele's did not disappoint. I ordered my 0.3lb burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The film broke loose and this movie came to a screeching halt when I heard, "We are out of onions." "Ahhhhgg," I thought, as in my opinion a burger just isn't a burger without onions. Before I could complete my sigh of disbelief, the server said, "We can put some fried onions on it, if you want. Will take a little longer." I was ecstatic. Not because I got my onions, albeit in a different form, but the food truck guy did not have to offer this, but he did. Why? I don't know, ask him, but I can guess it is because they have that food truck service mentality of "Let's take care of our special customers." It did take a little longer but was worth it. The cook handed me a freshly cooked cheeseburger with fried onions and tater tots. He even warned me that the tots were piping hot just out of the fryer. Really nice touch. I will definitely be back and try their other menu items which look really good including the clam, even though I am not a big clam fan.

    Great food, good quanity, a aquick and courteous staff. The brisket was so tender and tasty. Also…read morehad the spiced up piggy fries. At the music haven
