A La Esh — Restaurant in Sharon

May 2022: We have now been here many times and will continue coming here. It is more of a takeout style place and we are fine with that. Brisket sandwich is very good! Cook/chef Andrew is wonderful! We stayed and ate at one of the few small tables inside and he checked on us to make sure we were enjoying everything. We were!

April 2022: It looks like a closed business from the street - drove by many times. Tonight we decided to stop in - they are open! Hours Tues - Sat 11-9. Small takeout style place, but there are a couple of tables to sit and eat. We ordered a sandwich, The Rachel, which is pastrami on rye, with swiss, slaw, and thousand island dressing, and 1 side, we got couscous mac & cheese and the other order was the pulled pork plate, the 2 sides we chose were brussel sprout slaw and french fries. The Rachel - I was told it was fantastic, the slaw on it excellent. The side of couscous, needed a little more flavor and/or cheese, but it was still very good. The Pulled Pork plate, the pork itself was tasty, but didn't seem to have any bbq sauce on it and we were not given any, I still liked it alot as I don't like real wet, sloppy pulled pork anyway, but a little bbq flavor would've been ok. The pieces were nice big chunks of pork. The brussel slaw was good too, it had raisins and shredded brussel sprouts. Not a wet, drippy slaw. The french fries were good, wish there were more than a handful! It doesn't seem to be overpriced like all the other area restaurants, which we are thankful for. There was no one else there, so staying there to eat was an option, but we noticed the couple of tables there were all dirty and needed a good cleaning as did the exit door.

Would've had 5 stars if there was bbq sauce (not a cup of ketchup) in with the pork and if the tables had been wiped clean as well as the exit door!

Overall - we liked it a lot and will definitely go back. We wish this business well as it seems to be a little hidden gem...

Holy BBQ! We got the wings, pulled pork (pickled kale side with fries) and the brisket sammy (couscous mac + cheese side). We devoured everything, pictures just couldn’t happen, not sorry.

Pulled pork: juicyyyy and great tangy sauce on top, succulent. Also a super good portion size!

Brisket sammy: firstly, the bun is not just a delivery device, it plays a pillowy role that soaks up all the sauces/Smokey flavor and slaw vibes. Now, onto the brisket, the bark was amazing, the texture is exactly what you want when you crave brisket, worth every penny!

Wings: look, these are some of the finest BBQ wings I have encountered. The Smokey flavor lives onnnn with these, the texture you get from the deep fry is just enough without being a casing, perfect spice rub!

Pickled kale: exactly what you think, it’s nice how the vinegar breaks down the kale so it’s soft, lovely if you are into kale (we are!)

Fries: pretty sure these are hand cut, some skin left on adds to that rustic flavor, solid fries.

Couscous mac+cheese: bomb and not too salty, it’s fun to put the side sauce you get on top since it can soak it up, very good and not too heavy!

Thank you so much Andrew, we...

Ordered the beef brisket plate and smoked chicken wings for dinner. Absolutely delicious. The brisket was so juicy and flavorful. Couscous mac n cheese and brussel slaw as sides, amazing. Loved that the brisket was put on top of the pickles and onions, all the juices from the brisket added extra flavor to the pickles and onions. Being greedy I had also ordered the smoked chicken wings. They were done to perfection, nice crunch to them, so flavorful. Neither the wings nor the brisket needed any additional sauce, but the bbq sauce that came with was so good. Loved the tang in it. I drank the remaining sauce, that's how good it was. Last but not least, corn bread.....I heated it up and threw some butter and honey on it.....highly...
