Preface: I am a total BBQ snob--I know what I'm talking about when it comes to good smoked meat.\n\nIf I was just evaluating the BBQ, I would give this place 5 stars. That being said, the mediocre sides/atmosphere take one star away from my rating. When I come here, I get whatever is on the daily special (a menu item with a 10% off price). Everything is great, as long as you come at the right time. As usual with any BBQ place, you really need to come during lunch/dinner rush hours to have perfectly smoked meat (another 2-3 hours waiting in the smoker will easily dry out the meat). \n\nThe meat is served with 2 pieces of plain Butternut-looking bread, and steak fries. You can substitute the steak fries for another side if you wish ( I usually pick the baked beans, which seems like they are from a can).\n\nThe sauce here is delicious! You can pick from Mild, Mixed, Hot, or Xhot Even if you are scared of a little spice, I would at least get Mixed--the mild is way to sweet for my taste. Watch out the the X-hot, it's very spicy stuff. I am a spice head and usually get the Hot. I can handle the X-hot but I reserve it for when I want to be sweating afterwards.\n\nPrices are great here! You would be hard pressed to find cheaper well-smoked 'cue anywhere else. I really don't get everyone's obsession with Black Dog--I feel that they oversmoke their food and overcharge for the small amount that you get there.\n\nBottom line: Real hickory-smoked barbecue for a great price. Sides are mediocre, but sauce is great.
