Comments like "clean and spiffy," "not particularly authentic," and "benefiting from a location near the lily-white 'burbs" don't really suggest a good BBQ venue. But the lack of a down-home atmosphere aside, this is a popular spot with our reviewers, who claim it serves some of the "best barbecue in the metropolitan area." A key to understanding its appeal is the "very impressive brisket," which does its best to emulate the version they serve at places like Kreuz Market or Smitty's in Lockhart, Texas.
