Do you love tender succulent brisket, wood smoked for 36 hours? Are you a fan of artisinal Mac & Cheese lovingly made with sharp cheddar and cayenne? Do you crave dense, moist and heavy southern corn bread?... Well piss off 'cause there's nothin' for you here.
My wife and I ordered brisket from Dirty South tonight, along with cornbread, Mac & Cheese and fries. I gotta tell ya , we moved to Hamilton 20 years ago and this is the worst delivery meal we've had yet.
The brisket was sliced as thin as bacon and I'm pretty sure it was quick fried in a pan with a ketchup based bbq sauce. The whole brisket experience was completely absent.
The cornbread was served as small dust-dry cupcakes, which they were, I'm pretty sure, hoping you would smother in their honey butter and bacon jam (tasted like ketchup and onions) so as to not notice their chokingly dry and crumbly nature.
The mac & cheese (usually a highlight for my wife) was bland and lacking even a note of cheese. The only flavour here was a sort of onion sweat vibe.
Oddly enough the fries (usually a weak area for most places) were fairly adequate. Although they didn't come with any exciting sauces, after I mixed up some mayo/malt vinegar they were moderately enjoyable. Worth the price of admission? I don't think so.
Also, despite having a very prompt UberEats driver (Ajarri, cheers mate!) the food was cold and kind of congealed.
Anyway, if I'm being too subtle, I hated the whole thing. Fair warning.
