sampled 5\/21\/25 about 11:30 am<\/p>\n

After recent raves from one of my buddies at KNON, I asked Scott if he’d like to go check them out this week.\u00a0 Scott said he had sampled them pre-pandemic and they were awful, but he was up for giving them a second chance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

They open at 11 am and they do not have an indoor dining area.\u00a0 However they do have a nice covered area with picnic tables by the parking lot.\u00a0 We pre-ordered our meals online, picked them up at the window, and chowed down at the picnic tables.\u00a0 Everything came wrapped in butcher paper.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I ordered the Texas trinity, plus half a pound of pork belly burnt ends.\u00a0 The brisket was overcooked and cut very thick.\u00a0 The fat was well rendered and the meat was hot and juicy.\u00a0 Mine did not have a hint of smoke flavor, but Scott said he had plenty in his burnt end.\u00a0 The fine grind beef sausage had a nice casing snap but none of the spicy heat I like in jalapeno sausage.\u00a0 The ribs were excellent with a perfect bite mark and a nice sticky peppery glaze, just short of candy rib.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The pork belly burnt ends were large cuts, similar to Roy Hutchens, with good flavor and tenderness. They were better than most.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

For whatever reason, their brisket stuffed jalapenos were not on their online menu.\u00a0 Probably because they only offer them on Wednesday and Saturday.\u00a0 I went back to order a couple and they only had one left.\u00a0 I fixed that.\u00a0 It was excellent and every bit as good as Roy Hutchens.\u00a0 At just $5, they were a bargain by comparison.\u00a0 If they’d had more, I would have ordered more to go.<\/p>\n

Overall, a good joint that I would visit again.<\/p>\n
