This is just poet pandemic, maybe the drought of competent cooks is impeding something, but this was a disaster. We ordered 4 meats and 4 sides. We had two ribs and both were seasoned well with a dry rub. However, I think they just cooked the ribs. No smoke rings or sign of any smoking process. Plus they were very tough. Over cooked, not low and slow in any way. We also had the jalapeno sausage which was decent, but they burnt it trying to put sear marks on it so not so great. Lastly, we had the brisket which was mildly over cooked, but still very good with a great smoke ring. However, they forgot to season it. They had a good if over peppered dry rub on the ribs. None of it on the brisket. Brisket tasted like prime rib.
Sides we had was corn bread they tasted partially burnt and if they mixed it themselves it wasn't mixed enough. Just some weird taste. Okra was decent. The cole slaw was slaw cabbage mix with some vinegar. No salt, pepper, or mayo. Cabbage salad with vinegar is not cole slaw. The potato salad had the missing mayo and an entire container of mustard. Mustard mix with a bit of potato. Not edible. Best part of the meal was the slice of apple pie.
This was our first time not going to a bbq place in gig harbor or bremerton. We really wanted to support a port orchard business. This place has a long ways to go. We really wanted this to be anything but this.
