text: My wife and I are of the BBQ loving variety, and we're also the kind that believes it's difficult to do EVERYTHING well. Every place has it's strengths and weaknesses.\n\nFirst, the strengths:\n- Green Chile Mac is very, very good. We both liked it, and it's gotta a little kick, and a GREAT flavor. Love it!\n- Baked potato salad: I need a carton of this in my fridge at all times. My wife is a potato salad snob, and she loves this stuff, as do I. It's nothing short of amazing..possibly the best I've ever tried from a restaurant.\n- Ribs--tangy and good! We've done ribs before, and they're not easy, but these are super yummy! Not too dry, and very good flavor!\n- The \"Original\" BBQ sauce is on the sweet side and is very good, and the spicy sauce is also great! I'd love to do a BBQ with either of these!\n\nThe weaknesses:\n- Coleslaw. Ouch. I think Raising Cain's has better slaw...cold and crisp but very little flavor.\n- Chicken. Oh this one hurt. I think I've made better BBQ chicken...it just didn't have much flavor!\n\nThe Average: \n- Brisket. It's ok. Mine was moist and juicy, but the flavor didn't knock my socks off. Given that we paid $30 for the both of us, I was really hoping it would blow me away.\nIt's not that it was bad! It's just... well, I'd rather have Rudy's Brisket. I also felt like half of my 1/2 pound sandwich was fat...and brisket is a pretty fatty cut so that's not completely unexpected.\n- Pulled pork. The pulled pork WAS better than the brisket but still not much to write home about.\n\nWe both felt like the strength of the BBQ sauce was there to cover up the meat... and that's kind of a backwards way to do it. But everyone has they're own style. For us, I think we'll say we tried it and move on. The service was good and the place has a nice little feel. But overall for the money I think there's more flavor elsewhere. I'd rather give this 2.5 stars than 2, but the weak mainstay, the BBQ, is hard to overlook. I will say this place has their sides DIALED IN. Can't beat that potato salad and chile mac! Yummy! But it might be time to reevaluate that BBQ technique a tad.
