"Impromptu visit after putting on 6,000 steps at local trade show (lots of walking for 2 mature citizens, each returning to activity after rehabbing injuries . While we planned to have dinner after the show these two long time besties failed to make advance dinner reservations. Big mistake given it was not just a Friday night dinner, it was also Valentines day! Too hungry and tired to endure a long 1 hour wait to just be seated for dinner, we decided personalized pizzas would be fast and easy, and even enable us to side step 3-5 inches of snow we thought would have already graced us by now. Disappointed to discover our very close to home destination now or of business (need to get out more- when did that happen? we turned our car around thinking italian beef was our future only to stumble upon, yards away, a relatively empty City BarBQue parking lot. With an adventurous spirit, we decided to take a chance on a dining establishment new to us both. Let me just say, from Hello to goodbye, Deerfield City BarBQue delivered! In uncharacteristic fashion, I readily knew what I wanted to order: brisket, cole slaw and cornbread. To my surprise (shock? my bestie had gone through life, never having heard of, let alone tasted brisket (a good reminder of that despite the great similarities, how varied and unique life experiences can be- not i digress . I then asked the cashier to help me describe brisket to my friend, to which he answered, better yet ... walked away and returned with a sampling. One bite and he knew his order as well. Need I day more? We found our way to the back of the restaurant where our food trays were promptly delivered. The brisket is prepared dry giving the opportunity to try any number of their delicious barbque sauces. Mid meal, we were treated to sides of Mac n cheese- something I 've never ordered while dining out. Let me just say, OMG!!! And the little bit of crusted top, IMHO, was to die for. Might I add that the corn bread and coleslaw were perfect complements to the brisket."
