I was in heaven with the Porter and a Stout.Ī really fine experience. They brew a few beers in-house and had a lot of small-batch craft beers.

The beans were a bust as far as southern style beans. Slaw was excellent and an excellent broccoli salad was creamy/cheesy and rich. Even in Texas sauces can vary quite a bit. The "Texas" sauce was pretty close to what might be expected, on average, but not vinegary at all and a touch sweet for my taste. They had four sauces: KC, "Texas Pepper" one with ghost pepper and another spicy one. We got a whole chicken to go, so I haven't tried it yet. ![]() It was not nearly "fall-off-the-bone" mush that is so typical here in New England. Good texture and still had a little bit of snap left.

BTW, Bastrop county, where I was born, is the sausage capital of Texas! This is the best "all-around" Q I've had in CT.Īmazingly good BBQ! Yes, I'm shocked.
