Should I give Maverick's another try?

DH and I ate there last night, conveniently arriving about 5 minutes after they ran out of roast beef. They were also out of white kaiser rolls; the only bun choices were onion and pumpernickel.

We got brisket and a pulled pork sandwiches, both on pumpernickel. (I've had too many bad onion rolls made with dehydrated onion--gag--so we chose the only other option.)

I was definitely underwhelmed. DH liked the pulled pork a lot, but I would not go back for either.

Is the roast beef head and shoulders above the brisket and pulled pork? Pls advise. I have no plans to go back unless someone persuades me that it's worth the trip.

Thanks.

I was there on Saturday. The roast beef was as good as ever. Rosy pink and delicious.

Does anyone know what cut they use?

Wally's also has a delicious roast beef sandwich:

I dunno. I've been there twice-ordered roast beef twice and it's always been dry. I'm done I think.

I used to get the Brisket because it was unique, never impressed. Now I order the Roast Beef and am hooked.

Thanks, Guys. Looks like another trip to Maverick's is in my future.---but ONLY for the roast beef :0)

I have been there seven or eight times and all but one was a good experience. The one time, my roast beef was so dry I had to get au jus just to be able to swallow it. It was around lunch time so I know it wasn't the fact it was an off time. But everyone has a bad day so I will definitely give them another try. Its still on an off day is better than the gelatinous loaf you get at Arbys. When its good, its really good.

Soccermom13; definitely give it another chance. I think the roast beef is wonderfully tender and flavorful, and I've been there a dozen times. Go earlier next time!
