bkarau's Review of Billys Old Fashion Barbecue‎

 Great blues tunes and a rambling shack on the hill.  Billy hits a live radio spot while we're in-store.  Salamander F's the meat by allowing them to sauce it.  Re-taste of the brisket is pretty rough.

Cooking on an offset with a number of problems, including draining the grease back into the fire.  

ssweeney's Review of Billys Old Fashion Barbecue‎

Main Fare:

• My first slice (sauced) seems to be moist and fully rendered, with some bitterness noticed in the bark.  Second piece (without sauce) is chewy, not fully rendered. and more bitter. 
• Rib is unnaturally hot - reheat?  There is some creosote in the rib... evident even underneath the sauce.  Second piece seems modestly better.
• House made sausage has a good meaty flavor, and a nice spice.  This is a good sausage!

Other Fare:

• Mustard based potato salad with lumps of potato. Good.
• Baked beans are standard fare, with some Texas Pete added for zip.  Sweet + Hot.

Atmosphere:

• Billy's sister-in-law is working the counter.  She says they've been here "20 something years".
• Billy has to step out back for a radio spot.  His spot airs on the radio while we are in the front room.
• Everything here comes sauced by default... just FYI.
• Locals must carry-out their barbecue, because the dining area is in need of some repairs.  Double-Boner points out that there is a difference between a joint with "character" and a joint with years of neglect.
• After finishing the radio spot, Billy is enjoying a beer while getting ribs ready for the dinner hour.
