Most of the meat was good, but the brisket was really great. I'm a Texan that openly admits I prefer KC bbq, but this brisket took me back to my central Texas roots with great mesquite smoked flavor. The sauce could use an upgrade though.

I've found few Texas BBQ places that I was very impressed with other than
Fat Boys in Temple and
Iron Works in Austin. Generally speaking I find Teaxs BBQ and even the very hyped-up
The Salt Lick to be marginal (at best). I'm sure many would claim that's because I'm a KC suck-up, then when I tell them that I'm actually a larger fan of East Coast BBQ (pulled pork and Memphis style ribs) they usually just think I'm nuts.
Oh well, BBQ is very subjective and there arguments will never end.
