Brisket: Very moist and flavorful with a tad too much cumin.
Sauce: Fair, nothing special.
Sides: Tater salad is heavy on the dill. Slaw, baked beans, pinto beans are all just fine.
Sausage: Greasy and tasty but some weird flavor that I’m not crazy about.
Pulled Pork: Excellent stuff, very tasty.
Spare Rib: Just right, I like it.
Atmosphere: New building with lots of wood and an outside deck seating area. Pictures of other famous BBQ joints – Corky’s and Dreamland to name a couple. Standard cafeteria style line with a man who knows his Q behind the counter cutting up the meats.
Brisket: Firm, but moist. Pulls apart into small chunks. A bit chewy on the finish.
Atmosphere: In the urban sprawl of North Dallas. Has an interior decorator's touch… this is Dallas, after all. Its brand-spanking new, but with a well thought-out design.
Loin Back Rib: Baby back; velvet texture; comes cleanly off the bone -- no pulling necessary. Good meat/smoke balance; Nice rub - still very subtle spice in finish. I had two.
Pulled Pork: Oh, this is good; Fatty, but good. Difficult to rate (like chopped beef), but it gets high marks from me!
Sausage: This has some different spices/flavors… interesting mix. Wouldn't be my preference, but deserving of respect.
Sauce: Chili Powder, Cumin… maybe a bit too much? Almost overpowers the sauce. A Tex-Mex version of the Salt Lick sauce? Gets points for being different.
