Randy's House of Barbecue

I had a carry out lunch from the new location in Troy.  Randy's closed the Maryville location.  The slaw was nasty, but the potato salad was edible.  The carry out sandwich consisted of a semi dried out hamburger bun with sliced brisket wrapped in plastic.  The brisket was a bit dry, somewhat rubbery and apparently had been heated in a microwave.  In hindsight, beef brisket was probably not the best choice for a place that doesn't sell out each day of the beef they just smoked.  The competition BBQ sauce was pretty good.  If we ever try this again, we will probably get pulled pork or chicken by the pound and see how that goes.  The restaurant atmosphere was dark and kind of dirty feeling.

Update.  We tried Randy's again (carryout) and I have upgraded my rating from 1 to 2 stars.  This time we tried the pulled pork and chicken sandwiches.  This was an improvement over the brisket.  I still think the offerings are only borderline acceptable.  I would not go out of my way to eat here.
