Fette Sau means Fat Pig and that's exactly how I felt in the most awesome way after eating here. A local Brooklyn friend recommended this place and I my eyes bulged at the sight of all the meat when we got to the warehouse type location. Tucked between big buildings this garage dishes out some tasty BBQ that is worth the +/- 45min line.
I feel like the anticipation of it all makes you want it even more - we waited and waited staring at the slices/shreds/bones of meat being served on trays to the people in front of us, and because our mouths were drooling which with food envy we once we got to the order counter we ordered way more than we needed.
We got pulled pork, pork belly, pastrami, sour pickles, coleslaw, and potato salad. The meat and sides are priced by weight. The sides are extremely necessary because eating the meat itself might cause you to have meatoverload. I loved the pork belly and coleslaw the best, my friends favored the pulled pork.
We each left with bloated bellies and 2lbs heavier, thank goodness NY requires lots of walking.....
Far, far too crowded for a rainy Saturday in October. I understand crowds, but there was no system of crowd control. Depending on outdoor seating for enough space isn't a system in a city with half a year of lousy weather.
The bar had butcher knives for tap handles and tractor seats for seats. Cute. $26 dollars for a burbon and coke with $14.99 Old Taylor. What a joke. Mostly local beer selection - in South Williamsburg, this means they aren't offering anything new.
A Deli style counter with no customer service doesn't make it BBQ. If it were BBQ, there would have been a charcoal pit outside...The meat was actually about as tasteless as possible for something as delicious as smoked meat. They were out of pork belly, which I take to be kind of their main dish-but it was Saturday night and the place was packed. So I'm not really understanding that.
A meat-flavored deli for people who don't mind needlessly banging elbows like a bunch of animals. In about two years, maybe I'll come back for their tasty mustard.
On the outside it may not seem like much but as you walk pass the outside tables full of people laughing and talking, with beers and drinks in hand, surrounding a large platter of smoked meats and sides on a metal tray, it feels truly part of a community event. It's not another restaurant but a place to get together and unwind.
Yes, there's a bit of a wait as you queue to the counter - but it helps to see what the day's menu holds and see what people are ordering. Ordered quarter-pound each of the pulled pork shoulder, black angus beef brisket, pork ribs; a small side of baked beans and 1 spicy sausage. 2 bacon brownies to go also. Meal comes with 2 dinner rolls and costs about $20. Pricey? Maybe a little but I had enough food for two or a feast for one. I can't wait to come back again with a group of friends and ordering a bit of the whole menu.
The lines can be kind of a pain for this place and sometimes they dont really have the goods, but if they have the beef short ribs or the pork belly, get 2 pounds of each, eat as much as you can, then eat that shit at home for the rest of the week.
the best.
I'm always on the look out for fun restaurant options that won't break the bank and are good for groups. As long as you're not hanging out with vegetarians, Fette Sau is a must. I only had one sausage and a roll but it was awesome.
You can order drinks also by the mug or pint or gallon jug and I think that's just plain cool. There's tons of beer on tap or Whiskey in reserve. Have someone grab a table, the other person order the food, and someone get drinks.
Note: the spicy mustard is mad spicy. Beware.
Lines, Lines, Lines. Be prepared to stand in line (esp on weekends). But, oh, is the wait worth it. Don't be embarrassed to order just a little bit of everything, but make sure you order a lot of the brisket. Best ever, in my opinion.
The feeling of community runs deep here as well. It begins when you queue up 30 deep to order. Then, as you hover, holding a tray of sweet smelling, carbon charred goodness, waiting for a spot at the picnic tables to open up, you can eye up your communal competition for the open seat.
It's all good fun and even better atmosphere. The best barbeque I've ever had only makes it better.
Hey kids!
Do you like THE SMELL OF SMOKED MEATS?
Do you like SITTING AT A LONG WOODEN TABLE, LIKE VIKINGS?
Do you like HELPING YOURSELF TO MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF PORK AND BEEF?
Do you like GROWLERS OF BEER?
Then you will like Fette Sau. It is stripped down, excellent barbecue. For a meat-eater, the smell when you walk in is intoxicating. You order meat by the pound(/quarter pound/half pound), so if you've been to Hill Country you know the drill.
I thought the selection of sides was a bit limited, but maybe that's for our own safety. I had the German Potato salad, which was good, but not fantastic. I think I would have liked it a LOT better warm.
Of course when you're there it's all about the pork, really. I had the pulled pork shoulder, and it was excellent. Pile it onto a complimentary potato roll or shovel it into your mouth with a fork (or do both, like I did!) A squirt of some of their barbecue sauce doesn't hurt, although the dry rub IS delicious. (PS I love mustard, but their German mustard is so hot that it tastes like goddamn murder).
All in all, definitely a worthwhile trip, though I recommend going during the week and/or slightly earlier than peak hours (say before 8) to give you a better chance of having a seat. Williamsburgers are skinny but they will fight a bitch for a table.
Not even 24hrs into my 25th year of life, I came to Fette Sau, consumed about 3lbs of meat, quietly contemplated what death by pork belly (the savory pig's, not mine) would feel like (HEAVEN), drank a gallon of oh-so-smooth Sly Fox Ale, and thought to myself, "25 is going to be a sweet year."
Thank you, Fette Sau.
First, let it be known that I came here with a group of 6 and we had no problem sitting together at a table inside. And the line to order was not long. I'm sure it helped that it was a Wednesday (at around 8pm) and pretty chilly outside.
We ordered a 3/4 pound each of the pulled pork and beef brisket, a quarter pound of pork belly and some spicy pork sausage links. I think it was a good move to get a little of each to share. The pork belly was especially good. I thought the pulled pork and beef brisket were just okay -- they were not flavorful enough without a strong helping of the sauce. Speaking of the sauce, the mustard is really hot. Beware. I was also a little disappointed with the sides. The baked beans were solid, but the potato salad and cole slaw were just passable.
I'm still giving this four stars because the food was certainly not bad and the atmosphere is good. You should go to Fette Sau if you like barbeque, for sure. To be fair, I'm a little under the weather and probably would have enjoyed it more it I had been in better health and spirits. I have a good friend from Texas and I'll probably try it again with him the next time he is in town.
The bar here is great. I like the different sizes you can get your beer in from half pints to gallons. I like the bourbon selection, and I like the perfect bar stools, which perfectly fit your rear.
We didn't know what we were doing as we hadn't been there before. The cook looked positively annoyed at us for ordering, and no one really pointed us in the right direction as far as protocol.
I liked the pork belly; it was fantastic. The baked beans I actually found too rich, and the amount of fat in them was overwhelming. I love fat, but this was just too much.
The ribs were disappointingly dry, although I know ribs can be temperamental, and I appreciated they used a dry rub. The brisket was underwhelming. The potato salad was alright, but really, I wanted some real honest-to-goodness American potato salad with mayo and mustard and pickles and all the good stuff, not a vinegar dressing. I just don't want it. And when eating barbecue, who does?
I'd go back and drink and eat the pork belly and try the ribs again. But I'd take Smoke Joint's pulled pork sandwich over everything else here any day.
Brisket! Sausages! Baked beans! OH MY.
Seriously, though.. sometimes I miss NYC because of the people. Sometimes I miss the sights. Sometimes I miss the foooood. Especially the delicious sausages and brisket of Fette Sau. This place lives up to the hype. Anyone who disagrees is a total snob. Too good to eat baked beans from a cardboard cup while sitting at a picnic table? You're no friend of mine.
The pork belly. Eat the pork belly. You will die and go to heaven. The sausage was meh for me, even though still good (on a separate note i think it tasted italian?). I've had better brisket but theirs is still very well made. The pork shoulder, too, was unbearably delicious and fatty although at the same time, nothing overly remarkable.
But THE PORK BELLY. The pork belly is where it's at. You bite into it, and the molten fat drips down. The meat is tender, from being surrounded by fat, and as you swallow you imbibe fat. Your eyes roll back into your head, a sexual moan escapes your lips. Fueled by the burning flames of pork fat passion you feast away. At some point you feel a little sick, from all of that grease gurgling away inside. But then you keep eating. And then there comes a time when you are full, but there is still some on your plate. You want to eat it, but you want to save it for tomorrow, too. You nibble a little bit more, packing yourself as full as possible, then pack it away for breakfast.
And then in the morning you curse yourself for not having had the willpower to save more of it because what you were eventually able to save from yourself is not nearly enough to satisfy.
I can't wait to go back and get a full pound of that sweet, sweet crack. And also try the cheeks and pastrami and, well, everything else.
Perhaps it's unnatural to love a restaurant so much; but I do dammit.
I dream of it.
Fresh off a visit to the Xinjiang BBQ cart in Chinatown, my cousin and I wandered over to Fette Sau to double down on the grilled meat fest! Part barbeque mecca, part beer hall and part bar, Fette Sau is tucked away down a small alleyway marked by a pink neon sign. Pass the picnic tables and brown/pink motif, you'll find a very cool and hip barbeque cavern. To the right, a simple display case of charred meats and a blackboard with the special of the day. To the left, a full bar with beer taps on proud display. Fette Sau specializes in Berkshire Heritage pork which is a high-end breed raised for its flavor and taste.
The friendly dude behind the counter made some recommendations on the chow. We ordered a couple of sausages, a rack of st. louis ribs, collard greens, baked beans, pickle and a bit of fatback. We paid up and wandered over to the bar. Very pretty setup here, they've got these wonderful wrought iron bar stools that look like they came out of a secret garden. Good selection of brews and bourbon to choose from. Drinks in hand, we hoofed it out to the outdoors picnic tables to eat our meal a la natural.
The meat was wonderfully charred and smoked. A bit pink on the inside, blackened crust on the outside. Meat fell off the bones along with the delicious fattiness. The fatback is a thick grilled piece of meat that will literally drip when you bite into it. Proceed with caloric caution! You can eat the meat without any additions or try one of the four que sauces at the table. Collard greens were rich and spiked with meats, the beans were deeply baked but not my fave. Throw in some potato rolls to finish off your meal and sop up the juices.
Fette Sau means fatted pig in German and it certainly means the same in English in Williamsburg. I rolled out of the place, stuffed, full and happy. Not sure what would have happened if we had ordered a gallon of beer, I'm glad we held back. What I can tell you is that Fette Sau is a wonderful meat-atorium in Williamsburg, Check it out if you've got a serious appetite and a hankering for delicious charred meats and beer in hand. You can't beat the food, ambiance and atmosphere in this cool biersch, barbeque and bourbon garden!
I'd passed this place many times thinking it was just a pretentious Euro-cafe..until..
I wondered in on a drunken biking bar/food crawl with a then friend who was cheating on her girlfriend by pretending to date me. [Not as complicated as it sounds.]
The decor is most amazingly like an awesome stoner uncles back yard..but roofed. Pic-nic tables and beer served in mason jars. The food is served by weight on a tray which is just slapped on by the lunch lady line. I don't remember there being utensils.
I was already drunk mind you.
I loved the optional mason jar sizes of a fantastic Germanic beer selection up to a gallon even!
With jar & tray in hand. You plop right down next drunken sauce slathered strangers blissed out on sloppy food.
Great date place. [If your date is already drunk and doesn't mind MEATS.]
Best ribs I've ever had. (And yes, I've eaten ribs in Kansas City)
Go early if you want a seat.
Wow this place is fantastic! What makes it even better is that they serve GALLON jugs of beer! What other place do you know of that serves gallon jugs of good beer for a mere $32? Then on top of that you get to enjoy a meat fest. I believe that I would have to travel down south in order to get that combo.
I had the boneless beef ribs and they were awesome. Whatever dry rub that they use is perfect and the meat just melts in your mouth. This was one of the best dining experiences that I have had in Williamsburg and the dining atmosphere is so comfortable. It feels like the kind of place that can be right in your backyard. The food portions are a little deceiving in a good way. A small cup of baked beans and a small broccoli salad look do-able when you see the container but once you start eating them after enjoying the meat, it seems like a mountain that you have to climb in order to finish.
I would absolutely go back to Fette Sau, it delivers everything that I love about dining out.
I like bourbon. I like barbecue. I like beer.
This place delivers on all three fronts, in spades.
Meat garage: a garage of meat.
Any time my friends or I have asked, "Do you want to go to the meat garage?" the answer has always been a resounding "Let me get my keys." I've been several times in a week. You have to wait in a line and fight for a seat, but it's well worth it to dig into a tray of meats and without question the best rolls I have ever consumed. The brisket is excellent, the spare ribs are excellent, the short ribs are excellent, the pork belly is excellent, the pulled pork is fan-freaking-tastic. That's just what I ate last night. You will go into a food coma, and/or have meat sweats, and you will regret absolutely nothing. Plus, the beer comes from taps that are various pointy kitchen implements. I'm not that much into beer, but I am into the repurposing of sharp things. You will probably not be able to have an intimate conversation here (I'm looking at you, guys sitting next to me last night that were discussing how annoying this girl's mother is), but you will get to sit yourself at a long wooden table, wave about a jar of liquid, and warm yourself in front of a fake fireplace like a king. You will overload your senses on meat. In a garage.
If you like BBQ, go here. The ambiance was perfect, the wall decorated with different cuts/types of meat was really cool to check out. We went on a Tues night and had to wait for a few to get a seat on one of the benches. It wasn't too bad cuz we sat at the bar. I expected the meat to be a bit more juicy but all in all it was good. I'm not sure if I would go back here but I would def check it out if you haven't been.
Beer, bourbon, and barbecue. If you don't like those things, this won't do it for you, but if you do, you are committing a crime against food/libations for not eating here.
After living in the south for awhile and eating southern barbecue, I can safely say that this place knows how to do it north of the mason-dixon.
We had the pulled pork shoulder and the pork belly, along with chips and the broccoli salad. It was my friend's first time trying pork belly, and I'm glad that I could induct her into the club with such a magical portion. The pork shoulder was so good I could eat it without sauce, but I didn't. I felt like I was in a food coma (of happiness) once I was done.
The broccoli salad was a huge portion but good, and the chips were chips. One thing I wish is that the sauces were labeled, because I have no tolerance for spice and burnt my mouth out on the one spicy one. Oops.
Also had a delicious beer, though I have no clue what it was and therefore am of no help to anyone else, though I can say for a fact that the selection is excellent, and I'd totally go back for some whiskey bourbon adventures.
We sat outside, but there's also ample seating inside as well (and for when the weather turns decidedly wintery.)
Truly this is a 4.5 on my scale. I wish they'd deliver to me in Ohio.
Shit, I'm a vegetarian and I'd tap that.
This is easily my favorite restaurant in Billyburg. Every time I come in, I at the very least consider swinging by for a snack.
The +'s are the pork belly, pulled pork, brisket, and Blue Point Toasted Lager on tap BY THE GALLON, and an extensive whiskey list. I also dig all the butcher diagrams on the wall detailing the cuts of meat.
The -'s are having to wait in line, getting your food then needing to wait in another line for brew, then having to be lucky to get a place to sit and enjoy your meal. Ever heard of a waiter? Come on Fette Sau, thousands of unemployed hipsters surround you just waiting for someone to give them a purpose in life. That purpose could be taking my order and bringing me my pork and beer!
It's definitely an experience. Meat-lovers can happily convene here, but it ain't the best I've ever had.
Meat tastes a bit overcooked, that charcoal-y flavor is not welcome on my palate. The baked beans were glucky and overly sweet tasting.
My pork sausage was also REALLY sweet.
I have to give them probs for the barbecue sauce- it was spicy and tangy without overtaking the meat. Rolls were good.
Liked the room- long picnic tables, french music playing, and the "WC" on the restrooms actually reminded me of Paris, not Germany. The fakey TV fire is kind of cool and simultaneously tacky.
Service was kind of unfriendly- a sweaty 20something in a backwards baseball cap looked really impatient the entire time we were deciding what to order. Which was all of 2 minutes. Cashier shared the same disinterested disposition as our meat man.
Worth a shot, but if you like your meat a little rarer and your service a bit friendlier, this ain't your joint.
AMAZING FOOD!! just wish there was more room to sit and more sides. the brisket and beans are SO GOOD!!!!
The food at Fette Sau is excellent. Everything you've read is true, since it's on the Internet. I love the brisket. The pulled pork is nice and lean and baked beans kind of maybe blew my mind. You cannot imagine how difficult it was to not eat my meal like a little piggy such as the younger brother in A Christmas Story. Unfortunately, there is a list of ingredients and recipe needed to enjoy yourself.
Here you go.
recipe for a Good Time™
In one small or large group, combine (minimum):
1 Runner
1 Seeker/Squatter
1 hour of patience (per person)
1 pinch of chillin'
1 jug of beer (as desired)
Upon entering the gates, immediately set at least one runner in line to get your food. Depending on the time of day, the line may be 10 minutes, or may be closer to 45. Patience should start to be employed here. The remainder of your group should seek out a table and upon finding one, squat it. In order to justify squatting seats at a table, I suggest employing another runner for a jug of beer. After your beer and table have been acquired, chill out for a bit, have a little patience for your food to arrive, and then just have a Good Time.
Why did I have to eat shortly before discovering this place on my last night in town?!?!?!?!?!
My nose led me to this barbeque joint while walking to some bar down the street. My friend and I walked in just to breath in the wonderful scent of smoky barbeque'd goodness. Luckily, we're fast walkers, so we had a long moment to take in all that we could before the rest of our group caught up to us. What I did notice in my brief visit were lots of hipsters crammed into a small garage type with saucy fingers, huge gallon-sized jugs filled with beer, and quite a extensive whiskey selection. I just knew I would be returning before the night was over.
So i get to the bar, and am having a great time with my friends and with the new people I met, but the whole time I was there all I could think of was ditching these people so that I can return to the Fette Sau before they closed. Does that make me a bad person? If so, then I don't want to be good...
Upon returning, it was near closing time. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a jar of beer. Both were pretty darn tasty, I only wish I were able to go earlier to taste the full menu. But for what I did experience, I was rather impressed. And trust me, I know barbeque. I do see a return visit to this fine establishment in my near future. I will update with all the juicy details soon!
Whenever I see a place that I want to review and then see that there are nearly 200 reviews for it, I figure I better add something good, or be funny. Or at least amusing, so here we go.
Fette Sau serves beer by the gallon. There probably are other places in New York that do this, but they are definitely in the minority.
If you've never been here, first read Kevin's review. And make your first trip up a sampler platter of everything they have. Decide what you like, and get more of it, since one of my few knocks on this place is that some of the stuff they serve is hit or miss. But then get more. And don't skimp on the baked beans with burnt ends. They get a bad rap, but are so delicious with bread.
And measure the beer that you drink in gallons. Then get the hell out, because there's somebody else who wants your seat.
Strategy: Go in and order a lot of everything.
Pulled pork and brisket was real good as was the ribs. Lucky that we had a long walk home to work some of it off. I could barely move.
I won't mince words. It's good barbecue. It's slightly over-priced. It's good beer. It's slightly over-priced. Williamsburg is a little trendy, and watching cute skinny hipster chicks goring themselves on meat is kind of $*&#ing awesome. I recommend the Liquid Gold by Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. As far as the sides go, the beans are great, and the pickles are good.... the rest? Nothing to see here folks. I've ordered the brisket a couple times and had it cut long and stringy rather than against the grain (a huge no, no that makes the meat seem tougher and less enjoyable). In the NYC BBQ scheme of things I'd put it below Dinosaur and R.U.B., and before Daisy May's... right about on par with Hill Country, maybe even a tad better than.
Stick to pork belly and some beef brisket. TRUST. The other meats are just ok. Don't forget a gallon of beer if you can handle it. The sides are forgettable.
Come hungry, bring your boys, get a pound of meat and a gallon (or two) of beer, and talk about all the crazy shit you just did in the past week.
I was visiting NY with friends and our friend brought us to Fette Sau.
We ordered pork shoulder, brisket, dinner rolls, and baked beans. The meat was so tender and juicy, it didn't need sauce at all. But for sauce lovers, they have a few choices for you. I enjoyed the BBQ sauce the most. The meat also made for a good sandwich with the dinner roll, sauce, and sauerkraut. The beans were good too and I don't normally like beans. It had pieces of pork in them, so it was even more good.
I would definitely come here again the next time I visit NY. Don't miss out on this place. I recommend eating there. Their decor is really fun and Southern.
Great BBQ, odd german sides, and sauces are soso. They deliver so you can make the sides and get some great slow smoked meats. Yum, I want to go tonight. And try their custom beer which is the ale equivalent of a Riesling.
Brisket!!! that is the creme de la creme of this BBQ place in Williamburg. It is absolutely adorable with seating outside as well as inside, picnic style tables that are adorned with different styles of sauces, vinegar and mustard to tickle your palate. The interior is warm and inviting with a cute bar area to order flights of bourbon/whiskey, lots of beers on tap and cocktails as well as wine to be offered.
How you get your meat on, go up to the butcher, place your order. They have two blackboards with the list of meats, sides and even Key Lime tarts for that sweet after dinner treat. The meat is sold by the pound and the sides are either small or large.
I sampled the brisket and the ribs. Also tasted the pork belly. My favorite was the brisket....so delicious and moist. YUMMY!!! The pork belly was also very tasty. The ribs were good, but a dry rub and not the best I have tasted. They also had sausages and pulled pork shoulder. As for sides, I got the German potato salad, sauerkraut and Gus's homemade pickles. It comes with dinner rolls and its self-serve, wetnaps, forks, knives....all served on your own tray...much like school cafeteria.
They take credit cards, VISA and MC and have many fancy style Sodas to chose from. I missed out on Steve's Key Lime Tart....damn!!! Next time. I also tried this Red Zinfindal wine...for 8.00 a glass it was bold and smooth and went really nice with my BBQ meal. I really enjoyed this place and got my BBQ fill.
I def recommending coming here and giving it a try at least once. It will be a while for me to go back, but I'd def venture to Williamburg again for some yummy Brisket.
If you've never tried BBQ in Texas, Tennessee, or North Carolina, then you'll be content with Fette Sau. However, if you come from any of those places then you are going to be disappointed.
I made the trek to Williamsburg to see what all of the fuss was about. They were out of the pork belly, so I ordered a pound of Angus brisket, half a pound of pork ribs, and a small side of beans. The ribs were advertised as 'dry-rub', but I wouldn't have thought the meat would have been as dry as they turned out to be. The ribs and brisket I am used to are moist and juicy with wonderful flavor and sauces. Speaking of sauces, I sampled three of them. One was a dark smoky sauce that slowly built up heat. The second was some very weak thin sauce which I promptly tossed. The third was a sweeter BBQ sauce that reminded me of the stuff you can get out of a Heinz bottle at the local grocery.
The beans were hearty, but the flavor was so-so.
I really wanted to like this place, and was on a scouting trip to see if I was going to bring a friend visiting from Texas here. Sadly, this place is stricken from the list.
I spent $32 + $3 for the 'to-go' tip. My dogs are going to enjoy the left overs.
In defense of NY BBQ, a lot of the problem comes down to facility space. There isn't room for a locomotive sized smoker to make the best barbecue.
I'm going against the grain here and I pronounce Fette Sau's sausages below par.. Too greasy and the grind isn't to my liking. I'm difficult to please when it comes to meat stuffed colons to the point that when I can't go and buy Myer's Cumberlands I make my own and I'm not far from the tall bar that Mr Myer has set me.
I do love the brisket, the relaxed seating and the beer selection and I'm a fan. It seems it's the place for the 'burg kids to gather and rejoice in meat.
It was German for "fat Swine"??!!? I thought 'Fette Sau' meant "The fat cow" in French!!
The food is definitely good here. My friend stuck with the best parts Fette Sau had to offer, so everything tasted great. The sausage was extremely fresh and the pastrami was very very juicy (we asked for the fattiest part LOL).
The rolls and the sauerkraut were off. Don't get them.
The meal was really really great, but as soon as I saw the bill I thought to myself "looks like I'll be coming here once in a month, at max"
Although not as flavorful as Fette Sau, I could get a plate of Argentine Parrillada (La Esquina Criolla @ Corona ave) for around $15 in queens with just as much sausage and meat.
Also I would suggest you visit Manna's Soul Food in Harlem for a similar experience as they charge you by the pound (meats were $8 something per pound when I went there).
But the food quality of Fette Sau was definitely worth the visit. They were one of the freshest parts of meat I've ever tasted since I began Yelping. No lie!!!
Also I loved the fact that they serve the beer in a jelly jar. LOL!!!
5 stars for food quality - 1 star for price = 4 stars
Thx to JTZ for recommending me this place.
MEEEAAAT!!! And lots of it. If you're a lover of 4-legged yumminess, then this is your place.
I came here with my boyfriend (always my partner-in-crime) and two friends who were visiting us from Paris. Now, our other Parisian friend, who had a one year stint living in Manhattan, swears by Dallas BBQ. He loves it so much that he instructed our guests to seek out this treasure. And I was like, "really?!?! Dallas BBQ?!" So bf and I challenged this notion and brought them to the real BBQ heaven.
Ambience:
It's al fresco dining meets German beer hall. Communal tables are on a first come, first served basis so don't be shy and squeeze in next to some new friends. It's amazing how many people you can fit at one table with a little pork belly grease. Make sure you grab a spot in the food order line while you send out one of your troopers to wrangle a table.
Food:
The bf is a glutton. We had decided on the pork belly, brisket AND two sausages. At the last minute he begged me to approve an extra order of ribs. Sure, why not? I laugh in the face of calories!
3 lbs. of BBQ'd goodness. Pork belly, pork belly... oh how I love thee. It was delicious! Just the right amount of fat to meat ratio and perfectly grilled. The brisket was juicy and tender. I'd skip out on the ribs. Not very meaty and on the dry side. The baked beans are definitely a hit! One order is enough for two people. Our fatty selves thought we could actually finish two. Ooops. We also ordered the sauerkraut which was way too dry and zero flavor. The pickle didn't tickle my pickle either. And of course we had dessert! The key lime pie was decent but nothing memorable about it.
Beer:
Our friend "accidentally" ordered a gallon. But naturally we had no problems finishing this along with another half gallon. They make their own brews which is also another plus.
Our friends thoroughly enjoyed the place and will report back to Paris what real BBQ tastes like.
Whiskey Flights! Amazing BBQ!
Enough Said.
I will say this place is ok, not bad. I would go back there if is no waiting. Everybody seems like the beans but I thought the beans was too sweet. The roll tasted like regular grocery store potato bread. I didn't see anything special about this place.
