so I checked this joint out tonight. It's new, they try to emulate a Central Texas BBq joint, one of the owners if from Lockhart and is tight with the folks at K-mart. it's been open for 5 days.
here is the menu

Do they at least have sauce? I've only had Lockhart BBQ once, and it was the place that refused to serve sauce. Freakin' Communists. I haven't been back to Lockhart since, but I've been told that I need to try Blacks (is this the correct name).
 
Did they try and cram in a southern stereotypical name into every menu item?

I do like the inclusion (and *'ing) of Big Red and Blue Bell.
 
yes they have sauce, it's dark and molasses based

Lone Star is not better than shiner in fact its far worse, but people like it.

Loopy: you lost all my other pictures when you moved the thread.
 
They tried to get shiner, but shiner won't ship it to New York.

I went there for the NY Texas Exes happy hour last week. They just had various plates of food we could sample, but everything was really good. The queso was real queso, not the crap that most places up here try to pass off as queso. Looking forward to going for the full menu this week.
 
They've been trying to get Shiner in NYC for years and years but why even bother when you have Brooklyn available?
 
Went last night...the **** is bonafide.
Lean Brisket was great (moist wasn't nearly as good), jalepeno cheese link was solid. They were outta pork and beef ribs. They had a pork chop that I tasted that was darn good.

Sides - baked beans, potato salad and mac n cheese (the lady's a mac n cheese fan) was all really good. The green been casserole wasn't bad.

It's a damn good thing I finally bought a smoker, and hornian's putting up how to's on rusty's grill b/c I'm gonna be eatin' a lota bbq this summer.
 
I was first in line (because nobody else was) for their booth at the bbq fest last week, they had beef ribs there. not a big fan of beef ribs, but they were good, peppery... was funny hearing the guy from the restaurant brief the dayworkers for the festival on how to tell people about their beliefs on sauce.
 
nyt weighs in

pretty much agree. I'm happy it's there, and hopefully they'll show our hard to get games in the fall, and hopefully, time will quickly beat some of the newness off the place... but the vibe is a little off.

in the meantime, I'll still be going to fette-sau for my fix. went again on sunday... and it's yet to disappoint.
 
I went to Fette-sau the 2nd day it was open and was severely dissapointed.
The service threw me off at first. They had (maybe they've gotten better) 1 guy cutting a slab of meet at a time weighing it, and 3 I guess you'd call them pit masters in lab coats standing around admiring the one scale they had for this guy to work with. There were maybe 5 people in line and it took 15 minutes to get served.
We got the brisket, pulled pork and the ribs and only the pork was mediocre. BBQ sauce blew (it was either way ketchupy or the other one sucked, but I can't remember the flavor). Maybe I was just really looking for a BBQ place near enough to me now that I moved into brooklyn, but I was much happier with hill country than fette sau.
 
Went to Hill Country this afternoon. Can't speak for the places in Luling, Lockhart, etc., but it was better than Salt Lick, for sure. Had the lean, the moist, regular sausage and pork ribs. The sausage was the worst thing on the table, and I was still chewing the last scraps out from around the twine at the end of the link.

Fantastic. Also $60 inc. tip for two people, one beer each. They are rightly proud of their offerings.
