Prime Smoked Meats — Restaurant in Valparaiso

Food was pretty good overall. I got the Wilbur pulled pork sandwich. It was a little dry but overall not bad. But the cashier was very rude. I’ve never been there before and when she listed off the BBQ sauces that I could choose from for my order, she said “regular, spicy and vinegar”. I asked if the regular is a sweeter BBQ. She looked at me like I was an idiot and said “I mean it’s BBQ sauce”. I said that I understood but I haven’t been to this one before so I was just asking. She said “I don’t know to explain what BBQ sauce tastes like” in a very rude tone. And the pointed to the sign above her and said “the descriptions of the sauces are right there”. She continued being very snippy while taking our order. Maybe this was a dumb question for her. But I’ve worked in costumer service for 8 years and no matter how dumb a question may seem to me, I’ll always try to understand what a costumer is asking and try to find a nice way to answer them. I never make reviews, but that was really...

Best BBQ in NWI hands down, so happy it’s in Valpo! They sell out regularly, so if you’re set on something, get here early. Their brisket sandwich is my favorite, but their ribs and chicken wings are also standouts. I love the sweet potato tots and my boyfriend is a huge fan of the side winders (their version of French fries, dipped in liquid gold cheese sauce of course). Their current cornbread recipe is also delicious. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order here, and the service matches the food! A father-son duo run the business and they literally make magic happen! As a plus, Bob is always super friendly and comes around to check on guests! It is small inside if you plan to dine in, but we’ve never gone anticipating dine in and had to leave...

Texas BBQ, yes, but overpriced and somewhat under-delivers. We tried a large plate so as to get a little variety. The all-important brisket was dry, not to a bone dry, but certainly not fall apart in your mouth as good TX BBQ Brisket should be. The sausage was flavourful, but extremely fatty. We couldn't finish it between the two of us. The fries were amazing, unique. Corn bread was solid. However, that "large" plate with 2 sides and 1 soda was over $30. That would have netted me a good bit more in the Lone Star State I can say from experience. The essentials of the restaurant were good...good location, fun signage, you can taste the smoke in the meat... but the execution was not up to the standard I'd expect from TX BBQ and the pricing was...
