I live near this place for a year and a half and finally got to try it. I've heard so many good things about Pop's. Pictured is the Jimmy John (brat and pulled pork) and the Brisket dinner with green beans and mac n cheese. Not pictured, burger and cole slaw (delivered to wife at work). The brat was cooked and smoked to perfection with the pulled pork being extremely tender and flavorful. It was topped off with some well rounded BBQ sauce. The brisket is a drier bisket with seasoning, and you can get a choice of sauce. The thin slices drape over a fork with a nice smoke ring. Even being a dry style, it is super tender. The mac n cheese is made with a sharp chedder and slightly peppered. The green beans look and taste like they are straight out of a can. It appears that - from what I could see - the potato salad and coleslaw were store bought. This isn't to downplay Pop's skills. I saw someone being served a Turkey leg, and I was half tempted to order one as well. The employees are super helpful and friendly. They will help you out with any questions. If you want good, quality smoked meat,...
Read moreThis was my first visit there, and I WILL be a return customer... I sampled their Ribs, Polish sausages, Turkey Leg, and Macaroni and Cheese. The ribs were fall off the bone with a great smoked exterior, the sausages had a slight kick but were extremely flavorful, the turkey leg was smoked to perfection, and the Mac'n Cheese was quite good. Their BBQ sauce was well balanced between tangy and sweet with a hint of smokiness. The line builds up quick and they were out of brisket by 11:30am, so If you want that item, come early. The gas station doesn't have much parking so you may need to walk a little bit, and there isn't any shade in line, so bring a water if the line is long. The staff were all very polite, sanitary, and willing to answer questions regarding their product. They've posted that they no longer take debit/credit for orders under $15.00. If you've not tried this local and are in the mood for some good BBQ, I'd highly...
Read moreI got the 2 meat combo with brisket, tips and a side of mac and cheese. I’ve been to the south many times so I compare all bbq to that. I think the portion size of the meats was pretty good for what I paid ($22). However I feel like for the combo it should have came with 2 sides instead of 1. An extra side was $5. I’m not sure the size of the extra sides but, if was the same size as the mac i got, I think it was a little too small for $5, worth $3 at best. The 3 meet combo comes with no sides, which is also a let down. Tips were decent but not the best I’ve had and the brisket was a little dry. Bbq sauce wasn’t anything special, just tasted like something I’d get at the store. Overall, it was decent and if I’m in area I might come again but nothing I would go out the...
