"Ordered ribs and brisket. The positives: Both were very tender, fork tender. The portion of meat was among the largest I 've ever received at a restaurant. The hot barbecue sauce was one of the best I 've found. The negatives: both the ribs and brisket had a slight smoke taste, it almost seemed like both had been partially smoked and partially steamed in the oven. The ribs had NO noticeable char marks that come from smoking. The brisket had that red smoke ring, but tasted more like a pot roast than smoked brisket. While you want some juice from the meat, the brisket had quite bit of very watery liquid which, again, leads me to believe the meat had been steamed as much as it had been smoked. Note: the brisket was not cut against the grain so it pulled off in large chunks. All in all, the experience was okay, but based on only one visit, I had the impression that with a little attention, this place could be a real jewel."
