Holy Smoke BBQ, Deli n American Food

This is a bit of an unfair review, but I am all about honesty. We stood for about 20 minutes waiting for a table, a lady (not a waitress) sat us & cleaned the table. We then sat for almost an hour before our waitress came up to our table asking us if we had been helped; (about 4 different people that came in after us were seated & waited on before us). Once we were waited on things started rolling, we got our drinks quickly after. Our waitress did mention to us that the kitchen was backed up & it would be out as soon as they can. We received our food and although I ordered bacon in my omelet I had sausage in it. It was opening day for TCY’s baseball/softball. They were not prepared for the rush that was getting there. They had 2 waitresses, that were running around. It was good food & I let the lady know that there would be games every Saturday for the next few months. We will be back, it was not their fault, again they were not prepared for the rush. I will update my review on my second visit.

We ordered the 2xBBQ Brisket plate. $21.00 pp. It came with 2oz of the most fatty brisket I’ve ever had. Sausage (reheated), one (pork or beef rib) and a slice of bread. I’m a big fan of mom and pops establishment, and support then first before big establishments. But unfortunately I can not recommend this one. I did notice a for sale sign out front. Maybe that’s a blessing….

If you’re looking for good ole Texas BBQ, this is not the place. Maybe it’s hit or miss for some people, I did see some delicious looking plates online before ordering from there. I picked up a combo plate that has brisket, ham, ribs, and sausage for $20. If there had been enough meat on the plate to justify that charge, I probably wouldn’t have even left a review. Guys… this plate was pathetic. The brisket was very fatty, which I guess is a risk you take ordering brisket anywhere. But in addition to the abundance of fat on the brisket and single rib, they both were tough and tasted reheated. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone on a Monday? My little slice of ham was pretty good, though a very dry… And the sausage, which they didn’t skimp on, was pretty good. Overall, I feel like 2 stars is worth what they had to offer. I probably won’t try them again tho.
