"I had never dined here before and was in a hurry. I ordered a pound of beef brisket and a pound of pulled pork, and they had my order ready in under 10 minutes, which was perfect. I've tasted barbecue from some of the best places across the country, so I know what good barbecue is. It's notoriously difficult to find authentic barbecue in the Upper Midwest that isn't dried out or overly seasoned, but I was genuinely impressed by both the pork and brisket from this place. The smokiness was just right, the meat was juicy and hot, and while I didn’t weigh it, it was clear that both portions were easily a pound each. I'm not usually a fan of barbecue sauce; I prefer to enjoy the natural flavors of the meat, which this did wonderfully. However, I did try their spicy BBQ sauce, and it was delicious, complementing the meats perfectly. This isn't just good by Midwest standards; it truly competes with some of the best barbecue joints in Memphis, Texas, North Carolina, and beyond."
