Going's BBQ — Restaurant in Baytown

So excited to try a place that's just a 3 minute drive from home. I was wrong. It was a $34 mistake for 2 stuffed potatoes and 2 dried up ribs.

1. imitation bacon bits on the baked potato
2. imitation butter (a.k.a margarine)
3. the potato itself came from the same era as our Holy scripture. I've heard of twice baked but these 2 were more like a dozen times baked.
4. portion? Felt like the portions came off an episode of 'Extreme Cheapskates'.
5. the sauce wasn't saucey. Imagine taking a teaspoon of bottled sauce, mixing it equally with ketchup and then adding a gallon of water - that's the sauce consistency and flavor.
6. speaking of flavor, like the portion size, also missing.
7. the ribs were shoe leather.
8. when I say not one person working there had even a crinkle of a smile - dead faced the whole 10 minutes I was there. (Ordered to go)
9. lesson learned! Just wait for Big Pappas Smokehouse to be open...

Since I was in highschool, and we had open campus for lunch (1988-1989), they were located in the building that I believe the hair place on Baker Rd is now, we used to eat there daily and I have ALWAYS LOVED this place. Yes, I know different owners, and different location, but the food and customer service is beyond reproach. They are consistent and wonderful, and they take their absolute kindness and generosity to the city of Baytown has been a long running statement of their commitment to our community. I cannot think of a better place for BBQ, family meals, take out (Lee College uses them EXCLUSIVELY for their in-house large group parties for classes and training) which also says a lot about their quality, consistency, and overall wonderfully smoke ringed briskets. You cannot go wrong with any items from the menu. Baytown born and bred and Baytown strong. Thank you guys for your decades of service and...

I had saved this location as a place I wanted to try. It had the highest Google star rating in the area at 4.2 and the reviews looked good. I drove 9 miles out of my way to try it out. Sadly I was not impressed. The the sandwich was a little less expensive than most BBQ places at $7.75 for sliced beef but the total for a drink, fries, sandwich and beans was still about $18, like most places. Based on reviews I was hoping the BBQ would be worth the trip but unfortunately, I found the brisket to be dry and it lacked flavor. I asked for more BBQ sauce hoping it would help but it was very watered down and bland. I had hoped to find a new favorite place for BBQ in the Baytown area but sadly I do not feel it's worth going even if it wasn't a bit...
