The brisket was as tender as could be and delicious.

Brisket was perfect. The chicken was a bit overspiced, but tender.

I ordered the "TD Tailgate" package for my poker game last week. Fri Oct 23 10:56:28 -0700 2009 5125169 16013 Uncledave 2 5128127 Struck me as funny that they give you just three sausages in that package. Are they big?

If you laid the three sausages end-to-end I think it would be easily six foot long.

Spent 6 years in Texas, actually had my wedding dinner at the Salt Lick in Austin. This is the closest thing to Texas bbq you'll find up in New England. Been there once a week since they opened. Overall good stuff. A little inconsistent but when its good it's good. Had dry sausage and dry bristket on a couple occasions. I like that the owner wont serve something he deems to be not right. More restaurants in this area should do that. Love the place and will keep going back.

Tue Nov 03 18:37:12 -0800 2009 5125169 175458 ratbuddy 1 5162548 Our first trip there last week - owner friendly, chatty. Got the bronto-sized beef rib, was amazing. Combo platter brisket and sausage were good, the ribs just eh. Will definitely go back. Fri Nov 06 19:23:24 -0800 2009 5125169 1117241 TnTinCT 2 5162555 You said the beef rib was amazing... Pork ribs were just eh? If pork, what was wrong with them? Fri Nov 06 19:27:51 -0800 2009 5162548 137946 Scargod 3 5163671 The beef rib had a great crunchy exterior, juicy juicy meat with just enough fat to give me a little of the "burnt end" touch. The pork ribs were on the dry side, and just not really flavorful - the meat came right off the bone, but compared to the brisket, sausage, and beef rib the pork ribs were far far in last place for flavor.
