Smoke is mysterious, fire is uncertain, and pit men are expensive. So the mystery, uncertainty, and expense of taking the chance to make great barbecue is being replaced by the quantifiable methods of always making pretty good 'cue.

dbarrow's Review of Grand Prize BBQ

Weighted Overall
6.211
  • Spare Rib: Very tender, fall off the bone style. Good smoke flavor but not enough of it and they definitely need to add more rub.
  • Brisket: Very nice, marbled smokey flavor, sliced just right. Firm but not too firm. Good stuff!
  • Beans: Tender and tasty with standard bean flavors. Slightly above average.
  • Sauce: Thick with not enough spice and flavor.
  • Coleslaw: Too shredded and slightly soupy, but not too bad.
  • Potato Salad: Mayonaise based with plenty of dill. Tasty!!
  • Sausage: Moist and tender with a slightly tough casing but it seems to work well together.
  • Atmosphere: Large stacks of mesquite wood out front. Southern Pride rotisserie regulated with fans. Cafeteria line style with tables. Run of the mill interior, nothing to brag about.
