March '23 I ordered a brisket dinner with "disciple" beans and mac & cheese. (21) The brisket was tasty and flavorful but different than I expected. The mac & cheese was good, and the beans were excellent Serving sizes were decent. The friendly lady at the window was very nice. Overall, I was pleased with my dinner A dinner roll with the meal would have been nice, though. When I go for BBQ, I usually choose pulled pork or pork ribs. Today, I thought I'd mix it up and try brisket for the 1st time. I've seen brisket plenty of times, so I was surprised when I opened the styrofoam clamshell and found this brisket was chopped in small chunks and grey. It was tender and tasty, just not what I expected. The brisket I've seen before was thinly sliced with a pink smoke ring.
