Everything was fantastic while there. Sides are spicy. However the leftovers didn't task good after reheating. Needless to say the portions were huge & priced reasonable. A little hard to find , ie signage was hard to see. Will return when I get back to Helena.
I’ve always been an acolyte of the BBQ and all sacraments that accompany the BBQ but the brunch you catered this morning was as close to spirit as anything. I want to be buried with the pear French toast with lavender syrup! Good thing that’s likely some years away so I hopefully enjoy it again.
My toxic trait is that I'm the gatekeeper of good barbecue. I'm from Alabama and we all have a hickory chip on our shoulder. This place blew me away! I talked with the pitmaster and I won't give the secret away, but you've got to try the ribs (and the pork and the chicken and the burnt ends). I nicknamed the macaroni crackeroni for obvious reasons. Seriously the best barbecue I've had North of the Mason Dixon and maybe the best ribs of all time.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
