This is the former Hard 8 BBQ building and the seating is much better thanks to benches put in by the new guys. Â Same drill as before -- walk up to the pit and pick what you want. Â The one inch smoked pork chops are better than Coopers and Hard 8 ever dreamed of. Â The pork chop is falling apart and falling off the bone tender. Â Those other guys could never do that. Â You might think that it's expensive but you still get what you pay for. Â These guys look like they need the business so give them a shot. Â They need a bigger sign.
Review Source:I stopped by here on a Sunday for the first time at this location in about 5-10 years (the owners have changed during that time, apparently). When asked about what they took the most pride in, the pit boss suggested, after some reflection, the cabrito, which he said is only served on the weekends. We had some of the cabrito (part of it dipped in lemon butter by the Pit Boss, at his suggestion), brisket, pork ribs, and jalapeno sausage. All were very good.
I thought the ribs were the best of the items, with nice smoky flavor and the right amount of tenderness. The brisket was good, but was lacking a bit on the smokieness and crust (no smoke ring that I noticed). The jalapeno sausage was very tasty, with a nice snap and texture to it. I am not a practiced cabrito diner, but it grew on me (or perhaps I enjoyed the portions I ate last). It was generally tender, and while the first bites I had were a bit game-y, the second bites were quite tasty. Pinto beans were provided free with the order, and they were great (very good broth)! We also enjoyed the cream corn that we bought as a side.
There were three types of sauce there: sweet, sweet & vinegary, and vinegary. I had some of the first two types of sauce. I enjoyed both of them and had a slight preference for the sweet sauce.
The dining area was nice--clean, nicely lit, and comfortable tables with benches. It was a bit more expensive than I expected, but overall, I enjoyed eating here.
Absolutely delicious barbeque! Â Be sure to try the stuffed baked potato in a cup, the sweet corn too! Â We had a chopped beef sandwich , great sauces and good pinto beans come free with meal. Â Really nice manager came over and asked us how we liked everything. Â Worth the stop and certainly worth the money!
Review Source:I couldn't wait for this place to re-open.  So many choices that were picked right off the pit. Too many places like to hold items in steam tables and warming ovens, it was nice to see fresh bbq, not reheated flavorless stew meat.  I was able to try a bite of almost everything.  They weigh your selections after getting them from the pitt boss.  You only pay for as much as you have.  They have pinto beans that come with your meal and were serving some great looking sandwiches.  The shrimp jalapeño popper was outstanding, brisket moist, and the smoked sirloin tender enough to cut it with my fork.  I will definitely be stopping here every trip to the lease this season.
