Wish it was open more than it is, that's for sure. Cutsey name...I challenge you to get it right.
Some seriously good BBQ. Our second time to visit and it's every bit as good as the first. We heard about 'em from a spot they did on the radio with a local talk show host. Really nice people who most definitely know how to cook the different meats. While it's easy to drive by the building without noticing, it's 1500 ft from Gollihar heading towards the freeway. Nearly across the street from Oil Town Express.
It's take-out only, no sit-down. No problem as they get the product out quickly. They're open 'til sell out and that does happen, so best not plan your visits towards closing.
Our first visit I got a three meat plate and wife ordered the Notorious B.I.P. potato. So we had the spud (something wife says the owner made a deal of on the radio) and I ordered brisket, sausage and pork ribs, potato salad and beans. Brisket was exceptionally tender,with a nice bark, sausage had decent snap and flavor, the rib meat simple fell off the bones. I wish I had taken a photo of the plate as the helpings were generous (Oh, wait, I DID!). The BBQ sauce was tangy with a touch of heat but not overwhelming. I WOULD say to not order three meats unless you can really put away a lot of beef. I did it for the sake of trying their widest offerings. And of course, I shared with my wife. She loved her potato but ordered her second one (today) without the jalepeños. I did the same...no peppers for me! I have to point out that the potato salad is currently my favorite from a BBQ joint or restaurant. It's not mustard-y at all. It's just delicious.
Come early and be hungry. I just wish they were open more than Friday and Saturday. I think they'd kill it.
If I had a suggestion to add, it would be that maybe to offer a sauce with less spice (heat) and perhaps back off the pepper on the beans. Might be something to draw in customers with slightly more timid taste buds. read more
