"We came to the area to visit friends the weekend of April 9/10/22. We tried Andres first because the old reviews showed higher ratings. After finding Andres BBQ closed we opted for Brooks. We try barbecues in all states and areas around the country. I have to say that Brooks is the worst barbecue anywhere, that we have dined at to date. The Pork and Brisket platter was awful compared to all other establishments. The brisket was equal to a fair cut of standard roast beef like you would get on an open face hot beef sandwich. It was neither seasoned, nor good beef flavor, nor texture like I expected out of brisket. The pork was equal to and should have sided with Bush's baked beans. No better than that. The locals either don't know any better, and tourists in town must not get out much, if the ratings from them are high This place does not sell high quality barbecue. We would suggest moving along to the next town down the road if good quality is what you are searching for. Maybe better luck in the next town. I critique seldom, but this place deserves what I give it so I bothered to write. The service and attitude from the employees is standard McDonalds quality. They would all rather be somewhere else, and it really shows. Sincerely."
