Can BBQ that smells really good be really bad? - Page 2

Tho one here cooks on site and tastes okay. About as good as any Bbq joint.

I've tried eating at the one in Shakopee, MN here near my work here. It smelled great outside. I ordered a brisket sammich and the person I was with ordered a whole host of things to eat then and take home for later because it smelled so good. It was like there was a train wreck in my mouth and the railroad cars were only carrying fertilizer. I won't be going back again and I am surprised they are still open. Then again this is MN and people don't like much flavors. Salt and pepper are exotic spices.

IMHO, Most chain/mall food places suck no matter what type of food they are selling, but occasionally you find a decent one. I had a really good brisket sandwich while waiting for a plane in the terminal at DFW. 99.9% of airport food sucks, but I've been pleasantly surprised a few times.

Give it a try!

Where was the sammich? I think I'll be going through DFW next week.

Your best bet is in Terminal D. Railhead and Cousin's. Dickey's is in most of the other terminals.

I've never heard of, let alone eaten at any of their places, so I can neither confirm nor deny the reports post here already.

Having said that, the problem with MOST BBQ joints is their inability to turn over thier food. If they're really cooking on site and you get REAL BBQ smoked low & slow, that is really hard to ruin. But getting re-heated food sucks! I might understand that on a Monday lunch service (still not acceptable), but getting served left overs on a Friday night or saturday is just poor form and bad for business.
