Name<\/strong>: Dampf Good BBQ
Date<\/strong>: 2\/7\/25
Address<\/strong>: 6800 Good Hope Church Rd, Cary, NC 27519
Order<\/strong>: Texas Trinity: 1 pound brisket, 1 pound ribs, 2 sausages, with three sides plus a smoked brisket burger (link to menu<\/a>)
Pricing<\/strong>: $$$<\/p>\n

Monk<\/strong>: Another week, another top 50 Texas joint (outside of Texas<\/a>). Dampf Good BBQ in Cary has been on my wish list for a few years now, but when I\u2019m in Raleigh they tend to be either closed when I come in town for the Hopscotch Music Festival the week after Labor Day or I am otherwise occupied with a State football game and tailgating in preparation for what is certain to be mediocre football.<\/p>\n

That changed this most recent trip while I was in town attending two nights of American Aquarium\u2019s Roadtrip to Raleigh three night stand at The Lincoln Theater. I roped two friends of the blog Smorgan and Bill Fleming into coming with me for a late Friday lunch, both to enjoy the nice day but also so I could order more food.<\/p>\n

Brothers Nick and Bryce Dampf have set up their food trailer and offset smokers on the grounds of Phillip Farms, and its a pretty sweet setup for a non-brick and mortar with not only the trailer and smokers under permanent metal awnings but also some of the seating for the guests. Phillips Farm is a 100+ year old farm in Cary that in recent decades has expanded to become more of a community gathering spot that hosts a farmers market and\u00a0 family fun park in the spring, a seven acre corn maze, sunflower field, and Haunted Farm in the fall, and a Christmas tree farm and Winter Wonderland in the winter. While this was my first time visiting, I\u2019ll keep my eye on it next time I\u2019m in town with the full Monk family.<\/p>\n

Much to my happy surprise, it was a relatively short line of maybe 6 parties in front of us at 12:30 for Friday lunch, though the line did grow quite a bit as we sat down to eat. Me and the boys waited in line maybe 10-15 minutes before we stepped up to make our order.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

As the sole Barbecue Bro present, I offered to handle the ordering for the group and once that duty was agreed upon I was instantly drawn to the Texas Trinity Plate: one pound of brisket, one pound of spare ribs, two sausages, and three sides; I selected smoked mac and cheese, elote, and coleslaw. And then, because I was feeling frisky, I added a smoked brisket burger on top of our order.<\/p>\n

The pork spare ribs were my favorite of the three meats, and the half rack was smoked nicely with a glaze that had a hint of sweetness. Altogether, a good balance between the sweetness of the glaze and the savory of the pepper-based rub. The ribs themselves were cooked perfectly and had a great bite to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We got slices of both fatty and lean for our pound of brisket, and I had a slight preference of the lean between the two though both had the peppery bark you would expect from a top tier brisket while still having the proper amount of salt. We opted for one of each each of the sausages \u2013 polish and pepper muenster. Both were very solid.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve buried the lede a little bit here, and the smoked brisket burger may have been the best part of the lunch. I split the burger (which I ordered all the way with cheese, pickles, and mayo on a potato bun) into quarters and both Smorgan and Bill were instantly huge fans. Greedily, I opted for the final quarter after a few minutes when no one was so bold as to take it.<\/p>\n

I liked the smokiness of the mac and cheese, while not being overly smokey. The elote corn salad and the cole slaw offered a nice contrast to the fattiness of the meats. All very good sides.<\/p>\n

For fans of Texas-style barbecue in the Triangle, I can\u2019t recommend Dampf Good Barbecue enough. Along with Prime Barbecue<\/a> in Knightdale, Sam Jones<\/a> and Longleaf Swine<\/a> in Raleigh, and Lawrence Barbecue<\/a> in Durham, the Triangle has some pretty heavy hitters when it comes to new school barbecue. I must say, I\u2019m a little bit jealous down here in Charlotte.<\/p>\n
