I think it's fair to say Texas has more variations in its barbecue styles than any other state. And more disagreements about them.
dbarrow's Review of Carls Barbecue
Weighted Overall
- Potato Salad: Mustard and mayo, pickels, green and red pepper. Not very good.
- Atmosphere: Lots of wood with a nice corrugated tin/aluminum roof. Big ass elk!. Purple pitch fork dude is scarey. Giant Cholula sauce bottle.
- Spare Rib: Very sweet, East Texas style, but tender.
- Sauce: Sweet with some body and a little bit of spice.
- Coleslaw: Not my style, mayo based and shredded.
- Sausage: Jalepeno sausage - sweet AND spicey. Quite lovely. Jalepeno and red pepper flakes - OUTSTANDING!!
Regular sausage - sweet with not much flavor. Don't waste your time, go for the jalepeno variety.
- Brisket: Too much smoke flavor and not tender or juicy enough.
- Beans: Very plain, but tender.
