Smokin Bros BBQ Voted # 1

Phoned in a pickup order for lunch here today. It's the second time I've eaten here. This round was definitely better than the first. I ordered a brisket sandwich, with a side of baked beans, mac 'n cheese, and a strawberry shortcake dessert. Nothing disappointed, but one item stood apart from the rest. Let's start with the sides. The baked beans have a sweet and smoky flavor to them. They we thick and rich, and with the traditional BBQ sauce on the brisket, was bordering on being too sweet together. The mac 'n cheese was tasty. It also had a smokey flavor to it. I could be mistaken, but it tastes different than I remember the last time I was here. Granted, that was a year and a half ago, so I could be mistaken. But maybe they have changed their recipe. If so, good for them. Cause this

Coming from the BBQ capital of the world, called Texas, I have been spoiled by the world's best. So I was doubtful this place has brisket good enough to compete with good ol' Texas Barbecue. These Bros surprised me. The sliced brisket was very moist and tender. The flavor was good but not as good as Texas. Maybe it was the wood. Not sure, however, if you want really good brisket, this is the best in town. Probably in Ohio. The ribs and sides were also good. I need to go back and do a total review.

Waited almost thirty minutes in a non air conditioned room for over priced food that was not good. The potato salad seemed store bought. There were only two styles of BBQ sauce. But the real kicker was the Mac N Cheese.... Which was more like a soup. Hands down the worst I ever had

We got the meat trio (brisket, rib, and pulled pork), mac and cheese, and cornbread. Overall solid. The barbecue sauce was great, without it I thought the food could have been a little more seasoned. The brisket was pretty tender, ribs were seasoned well. Mac and cheese was pretty good too. So was the corn bread. I would say the meat trio wasn’t worth the price, little less meat than i would have liked for $22. However the mac and cheese and corn bread were really well priced. Someone in our party waited quite some time just for mac n cheese and cornbread. Service otherwise was fine and the man who seemed like the owner was very kind.

I was craving some BBQ and decided to try a few things as it had been a long time since Ive had anything from Smokin bros. Picked up right before close and I wish I would have just made food at home.... The pork and cornbread was ok. The brisket was a literal pile up pulled fat in a cup. I'm no stranger to good brisket and this was very far from it. Also got some mac which was gritty and looks nothing like any photos posted. Spent $30 on dinner and now I'm stuck making food for the family. Not sure when this was #1 but it ain't anymore.
