We had a BBQ brisket sandwiches, greens and cornbread. Meat was freshly prepared and tender, and the cornbread was moist and still crumbly.

We will be back for sure!

I ordered a three-piece dark box and it was tasty. They cook the chicken fresh so that first bite is full of warmth and crispness. The skin was fried perfectly and the meat was well seasoned and flavorful. It came with two sides that were ok - fries and the Mac and cheese. Both were ok. The drawback is they nickel and dime you on virtually everything else. Ask for barbecue or hot sauce, that's 50 cent a piece. Ketchup wasn't readily available. The strawberry shortcake I ordered for dessert made up for it - the portion was plenty and sweet. I'd come back for a quick meal.

Great service, we were greeted and sat quickly, though it was mid afternoon so not very busy. We decided to get a few combos and sample a little of everything: Ribs & sausage with a side of slaw Brisket & pulled pork with a side of beans & rice The table had 3 sauce options: Filthy Hot (which wasn't), Classic and Carolina (the most flavor but very liquid). The ribs weren't fall off the bone but were tender, and with a good smoke ring. The sausage tasted more Amish style than Texas, not bad. The brisket was dry & flavorless, and the pulled pork, while moist, needed more smoke and seasoning. The slaw was under seasoned and underdressed (which was surprising) but a little Carolina sauce got it right. Overall, so-so, which makes me sad because I LOVE good TX bbq. I had hoped for a little Texas taste of home but it was a miss for me.

The sandwiches are tasty! Great bread, and tons of meat with a great smoke flavor. They don't sauce the meat, but do include sauce on the side. If you like it extra saucy, you might want to ask for extra. I understand their decision to leave it dry, though. There isn't really one true regional style of BBQ around here, so what sauce to go with could be tricky. I used a more NC style sauce that we had at home- we grabbed these to go. Their coleslaw had a nice peppery kick to it, which added some spice to the meat too. We all agreed if we saw the truck somewhere else, we'd make the trip out again. Good stuff!

All I could think about was a foot-long from the Dog House. After a great cruise and a stop at the museum at Dover Air force base I made it to New Castle. Making the merge onto RT13 I could the sign ahead of me. Parking can be tough but there was spot out front. I did notice the sign has changed, again. My father had been taking me here since 1969. It was our place to go on our Saturday trips from Jersey since it is a sales tax free state. After walking in I couldn't help notice how the inside had changed (last time here was 2021). If you think it has a nostalgic feel now, you have seen it in the '80s and '90s. They have taken down all the hand painted signage and replaced the menu board with a modern one, dang. I just hope they don't plan on franchising the place. I managed to grab a seat at the counter and in no time I was placing my order. All in all, the food is still done the same. Dogs split and grilled on the flat top and the fries are great with their own signature seasoning. If you are in the area and wanting a great foot-long or even a burger please stop in, you won't be disappointed. Peace.
