bkarau's Review of Smokehouse Bar B Que

Surprisingly, Wildman refuses to engage the drum kit inside.  A nice enough joint, but the offset is running without enough air and creosote is pervasive.

ssweeney's Review of Smokehouse Bar B Que

Main Fare:

• Brisket still needs some more time to become fork tender, but some bitterness is already present here. 
• Rib has a pretty clean flavor, and the right amount of dry rub that has a bit of spice.  Flavors are good and the rib has rendered fully... in fact it is cooked to the point that the rib is completely falling apart.
• Sausage is a commercial product such as Hillshire Farms, but the casing is nicely crisp and 'snaps' to give access to the soft interior.
• Beef link is overcooked.  Crisp and chewy casing packs a good meaty flavor, but even the insides are dry.  There is a nice spice on the finish.
• Hot link is the standard variety: red casing; hot dog consistency.  It is salty with some heat at the end.

Other Fare:

• Boudin is gooey, falling out of the casing, and spicy.  Good.
• Potato salad is a creamy, mustard-based variety with chunks of potato for texture.  Has some pickle juice or vinegar to give it a 'tang'. Very good.
• Slaw is crisp with a thin cream sauce.  Nice.

Atmosphere:

• This place has been here quite a while, and the current owner has held it the last 7 years.  He is dealing with some serious health issues, but looks pretty spry for someone that just lost a kidney.  He has a great attitude, and shows us around his smokehouse.
• Even though Harry is gone, locals still refer to this place as "Harrys' Smokehouse".
