Smoke Daddy's Review of Laura and Emmies Country Boy
Tour:
Joint:
<<Looks like Larua & Emmie's closed in 2005>>
Barbecue was OK, but we would've left fat and happy if they had served us the soul food first! The fried fish and fried pork chop plates were OUTSTANDING!
- Brisket - Is sliced paper-thin, and displays a nice smoke ring. It has a lean beef flavor... taste's like Arby's! Hmmm.
- Burnt Ends - Tender and smoky. Not too much salt or spice.
- Rib - Good meat & rub balance. Not too salty. Meat has good color, mild smoke, and nice flavor. However it is still tough in places.
- Rib Tips - More tender & flavorful than the rib... but a complex process to eat around the cartilage
OTHER FARE:
- Beans - Smoky with a vinegar tang... large pieces of brisket point. Good.
- Potato Salad - Mashed style with chunks of potato and egg. Mustard, pickles, & celery seeds. Good.
- Fried Cabbage - Good southern cooking.
- Regular Sauce - Bold flavors with plenty of sweetness. Good balance.
ATMOSPHERE:
- This is our second attempt... they were out of meat when we arrived last evening
- Today, we arrive at 1pm and the place is empty - they tell us we are too early (When do they actually have 'Q?)
- They agree to "hook us up", and provide a nice spread
- Building looks like a converted DQ or BK
- Lace tablecloths and a small bar in the back corner
- "Barbecue and Soul Food" should've been "Soul Food and BBQ"
- As we were leaving, they gave us two plates of food that blew us away:
- Fried Fish
- Fried Pork Chop
